TV: Did you make Barry's List?

Re: TV: Did you make Barry's List?

So, no one shoot me for this suggestion, but I watched The Last Hangover on Netflix last evening. I really enjoyed it. My wife, not so much, but I'm not sure she has a sense of humor. :D

It's only about 45 minutes long. It's subtitled, and the subtitles are fast because the dialogue is fast, so you have to be ready.

It's a spoof of The Hangover, set in the context of The Last Supper. The apostles wake up the morning after partying at the Last Supper and Jesus is missing. You need to have a pretty good working knowledge of both The Hangover and the Gospel account of Jesus Last Supper with the apostles. But if you have even a decent working knowledge, there are a lot of pretty good jokes.

But, it's not going to be for everyone, so be forewarned.

So my daughter has made me watch The Masked Singer for the second week in a row. Anyone else watching this steaming pant load of ****? I thought this was the golden era of television.

This keeps popping up on my recommended list. Might check it out.

Does Bird Box count as TV or Movie?

In any case, saw it last night with Dr. Mrs. Excellent. Solid A. Spoilers:

The ending was terrible. And her "apotheosis" to a mother betrayed her entire character. The whole point of her character is her inability to feel; it's what makes her interesting. Turning her into just another dullard human at the end was a lazy sop to the dummies, albeit it will win awards.

The best way to describe the movie would be A Quiet Place with good actors. Bullock is ideal as sharp and cold -- she even looks perfect. And her acting, if you cut the braying drill sergeancy with the kids which is merely scene-setting, is excellent. Less is more and boy she can do less.

I loved that the whole aesthetic of the film is cold, aloneness, and hypersensitiveness to sensory input. It's the closest I have seen any film get to how an INTJ experiences the world and you people.

In sum, a great movie if you cut out the final reel, which sums up a large number of films and nearly every good movie made since 9/11.

What kind of a moron would think it was terrible? A 17 year old boy?
 
Re: TV: Did you make Barry's List?

If it was anything like A Quiet Place it was vastly overrated...
 
Re: TV: Did you make Barry's List?

I did too. I found it unnerving which isn’t very common for me and movies.

That's a good description of it: unnerving. I prefer those types of horror movies. Put me on edge. Don't try and just gross me out with slashing everything.
 
Re: TV: Did you make Barry's List?

Eh I got past that halfway through the movie. The story was lame and the ending was legit one of the worst I have seen in a long time. It wasnt a 'bad" film but it wasnt particularly great either.

Same here. Did a very good job with the tenseness.

Thisis how I felt about it. Meh. Not bad, not great.

I might have been in the wrong mood. I was picking the thing apart as I was watching. "Oh, so it gets you through a camera feed but not through the holes in a blanket?"

A Quiet Place was a good concept destroyed by two of the worst actors this side of Dump's mistresses. The writer supposedly traded having his story dragged through sewage by the morons in exchange for full creative control on his next film, so I have hopes there.

Both AQP and BB used negative sensory input to good effect. They are definitely both art house movies -- comic book movie guy isn't going to like them because no splosions or sophomoric male machismo. I'm sure it didn't help bring in the pea brains for both movies to be built around strong female lead characters. (BB in particular must make Dumpies very nervous.)
