PussEKatt Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 @sne re- The Boogeyman. Spoiler All you see is shadows and slamming doors.The Boogeyman appears 10 minutes before the end of the film.Not only that,there is this 10yo girl and all through the movie she is scared of the Boogeyman.Then near the end,the Boogeyman is sitting on her with tendrills comming from his mouth and nose and eyes into her mouth,eyes,nose.And after shitting herself all through the movie she actually helps to kill him in the end.Not bad for a 10 yo girl who keeps looking for monsters under her bed all through the movie,then has the courage to put him away.

Roy Scheider was criminally underrated wasn't he? A god-damned masterpiece. The cinematography throughout is stunning but the denouement, when Scanlon's carrying the nitroglycerin to the oil field, out of this world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted June 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2023 Re. The Boogeyman, the general consensus seems to be positive and I'm really looking forward to seeing it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2023 Yeah, absolutely stunning. If you enjoyed the first one (as most did) then you won't be disappointed. Great story, good characters and technically astonishing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Took the kids to see across the spider-verse today. As the poster above states, excellent film. Gives lots of service to the fanboys like me, whilst still being an outstanding film for the casual fan. The animation was truly incredible. I've never seen a film like it. They took what they did in the first and absolutely took it to the next level and then some. There's a lot of heart in there too, and without posting spoilers, it leaves you wanting much, much, more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted June 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Quick counterpoint to the Spider-verse stuff. Took my wife and two kids to see it yesterday. My kids (6 and 8y/o) were obsessed with the first one. For my part the first spider-verse film was probably my favourite ever Spidey film. Two of us, myself and my youngest loved the new one. I thought it was endlessly inventive, clever, and absolutely gorgeous to watch. My wife and my eldest strongly disliked it. Reasons given included: too long, too complicated to follow (as told by my kid, not my wife, haha), and that the plot seemed a bit muddled and bloated in the middle. I disagree with most of those points, although I think it could be tighter, but my eldest was visibly very bored toward the end. I appreciate our experiences seem to be in a minority (which is good because I'm very much looking forward to the last part). Spoiler It probably didn't help that we didn't know going in that it was a two-parter. I think my wife in particular was expecting some resolution.

Designer1 Posted June 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hmmmm. Interesting, but only in fits and starts. Incredibly self indulgent, baggy and overlong. Clever, but not as clever as Ari Aster thinks it is. That tricky second album becomes that tricky third movie. Maybe a rewatch at some point will help, and I always applaud originality in film, but for me it was a wearisome drag. Sorry Ari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 8, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 Four years after its release, I finally got round to watching 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood'. Remarkably, I'd seen no spoilers in that time, so the ending was a surprise. Brilliant film, instantly my favourite Tarantino. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally a love letter to Hollywoods golden era, which also providing a response to it's ending from someone who clearly loves it, in the form of a very adult fable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I seem to recall Margot Robbie looked stunning , Brad Pitt was as cool as ever and the rest of it was just nothing happening … followed by a bonkers ending The retro stuff was kinda cool but once was enough for me … 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Embarrassingly I didn't understand it My knowledge of the real world events it referenced didn't kick in until the very very end Still enjoyed it though Agree about Pitt and di caprio, I'd happily watch either of them do just about any film, big fan of Pitt think he's almost underrated as a proper actor but he's a very good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really 'get' re-watching movies. With OUATIH, I guess it helps if you're a nerd about 1960s American pop culture. Which I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its late night and I'm too lazy to walk up the stairs to go to bed I'll sit there and channel hop and invariably find a film that I've seen before and watch it , even though I've already missed the first 20 mins in some cases !! something like Kelly's Heroes or Shawshank I've lost count of the number of times seen 9 minutes ago, mjmooney said: With OUATIH, I guess it helps if you're a nerd about 1960s American pop culture. Which I am. yeah i guess that would be a factor , I kinda have a fascination around the whole JFK and the conspiracy side Spoiler Oswald did it but beyond that I guess I'm just a little too young for that Iconic Americana time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
