No longer able to attend BC Live at the Bell House in Brooklyn on 10/16 and hoping to sell them for cost! Please comment if interested (and if this is the wrong spot to drop this, could someone kindly direct me to the right place to offload these)!

This movie often looked amazing, and I loved the way they integrated everyone's iconic moves with the real in camera choreography. It also had some really funny performances from a well-cast ensemble (Rhodes terrific, Dastmachian SUBLIME). Special recognition to Vidyut Jammwal and Orville Peck for fully embodying their characters, and Eric Andre successfully deployed as well.

My biggest issue was that every scene felt out of order. In the middle of one, I thought "this doesn't feel like the end, so based on what I've seen so far that means it is in fact the end" and I was correct. Reshoots must have played a part, right?

So many of the fights get skipped over, and for every perfect character introduction there is one that makes no impact. They really should have had everyone spend more time together and play off each other.

All said, I get why David hated it (what a letdown compared to the trailer) but it was still fun junk food to me. Its just a shame because it feels like with a few twists of fate they could have had something genuinely great instead of a bad movie that I liked.

“I showed them and I talked to them, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, and I was so moved that they allowed me to use the song,” Gerwig told Stephen Colbert at a Q&A. “They did it because they saw the heart of the story in the film and they too love C.S. Lewis, and they have a reverence for his work. The whole thing was very fortuitous. But I’m so happy that it got to be this song.”

Gerwig explained that the song was “exactly the story” of the movie. “It’s an epic song. It’s an amazing song. It’s a narrative. It’s about a spiritual journey,” she said.

“It’s about the true path of enlightenment and spirituality, and then this path of false idols and the wrong roads you can go down,” added Gerwig. “And I was like, ‘This is exactly the story of this movie.’ It really is a spiritual quest and a spiritual journey, so to me, this was the song that made sense to introduce this into the world. But this song, they had not let it be used in anything.”

I can’t for the life of me remember what episode ben abruptly says, “i saw this movie on indigenous peoples day” and marie starts laughing. it’s such a good moment.

I thought it was Horizon, i thought it was Wonquaman (wonkwaman?), i thought it was Joker follie a goodrich.

What ep is it?

Is that Nathan in the water?

Haven't seen this movie (streaming on Apple, from documentary vet Amir Bar-Lev) talked about at all, so I wanted to shout it out here. It's a really masterful, straight-ahead mountaineering doc--no fancy IMAX cameras, no clever meta angle, just a skillful, lucid assemblage of first-person footage and after-the-fact interviews into a riveting story. It lightly refracts various modern-day hang-ups (COVID's destruction of the social contract, social media ruining everything) through its lens but it's not a metaphor for anything; it's about what it's about. Big swings are great but sometimes a well-honed piece of (comparatively) old-fashioned craft is really satisfying too.

Andrew Schulz is like… really good as Dan Hibiki in this. I know next to nothing about the games let alone his character but I really enjoyed his presence throughout and thought he was actually a highlight? Am I going crazy here? This movie is so fucking weird.

As for the rest of the movie… you know that first teaser trailer from the Game Awards that was set to Joey Valence & Brae? The whole movie is literally just two hours of that. A big noisy headache-inducing martial arts music video. And has the boldest most egregious ending in recent memory. 5.5/10

Oh and there are a few animated sequences which were really sick! Unfortunately way better than the live-action fights.

I have a conflict now for Friday night and can no longer attend the live show. Asking $50 for the pair.

Please PM me. I’ll accept PayPal or Venmo and can transfer via Ticketmaster right away.

SPOILER FILLED CONVERSATION

Just got home from the theater and OMG WOW. I actually am taking awhile to process the whole thing. Right now, I can’t stop thinking about Abbott and Costello but I’m sure as the night goes on, other stuff will pop up.

What did everyone else think???

new chris rock movie with rosalind eleazar, adam driver, topher grace, anna kendrick and daniel kaluuya and its like if someone turned a madlibs game into a movie.

for some semblance of cohesion they try to set up a certain plot point involving a spider throughout the movie so it will come back at the end and it is one of the stupidest things i have ever seen

I’m shocked its getting bad reviews, but then again so did Speed Racer. I knew nothing about who was in it and have never played a Street Fighter game before going into the movie. Its near-perfect dumb fun. As someone who liked Masters of the Universe from this year, Street Fighter really embraced the full absurd and silly that He-Man was too afraid to fully go for. It felt like someone gave the Kung Fury guys 100 million dollar budget. Even fucking Eric Andre and Andrew Schulz were great. Cody Rhodes was fantastic, 50-Cents role had me dying and the movie even made me buy stock back in for Noah Centenao. The movie blends animation parts and live-action so well and the animation looks beautiful. I really cant comprehend how anyone seeing a movie based on “Street Fighter” could be disappointed in what this movie does. It makes me really respect Jason Momoa that he used his star power to make a project like this happen in its full glory.

I know this film has been studied and discussed to death but I must say I loved the needle drop at the end. To think most mob movies before glamorized the mob, and this take showed them as what they were. Just average Jamokes, bullies etc. Frank Sinatra almost goes hand in hand with the glorification of the Mob and the formal sound. So ending with the Sex Pistols cover of My Way literally carries the movies theme, Hills real story.

Again my bit of analysis of a movie that has been reviewed over and over.

Just put on After Hours. When I see this logo pop up I just feel like Beatlejuice is gonna start. Other than Interview with a Vampire cant think of many films he produced. What film comes to mind when you see this logo?
