Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

Just came back from Marty Supreme. What a mess of a movie, and thoroughly unlikable character. I only watched it because of Chalamet, who was very good of course. But I wish I had my time back!

Ok ...everyone says the characters in MS are unlikable. But are they unlikable like in Succession, where they're unlikable but as funny and pitiable, or just flat out unlikable? There;s a difference.

I’ve never seen Succession. Chalamet’s character is the kind of unlikable that you root against him and want to see him fail.

I wont see MS so I may be wrong, but the trailer for MS gives me red pill energy.

Just watched "Wake up dead man" on Netflix. I didn't see the second Knives out film, but I think I liked this one better than the first. Good movie, good mystery, and good acting.

Chalamet's character was just flat out unlikable. Nothing funny about him; no humor. His main goal is to f*ck over everyone in his life. His baby mama that he initially said wasn't his was grazed by a bullet, but all he cared about was him going to Japan to compete in the World Championships. And boy, I celebrated when Marty learned he was screwed and wasn't allowed to compete. Because he's a character you don't want to see anything good to happen to him. I didn't like the ending at all, but he deserved every bad karma that came his way. No good juju for that character.

Box Office Mojo - U.S. Domestic Box Office: Weekend 1

Avatar: Fire & Ash has just passed $1B globally. Is it really worth watching in IMAX while I still can? Or should I just wait until it hits Disney+? I’m typically pickier about seeing films that are over three hours long.

Zootopia 2 is about to hit $1.6B.

WELP for Marty Supreme.

I guess The Housemaid must actually be pretty good?

Notable opening next week: Primate and Is This Thing On? (Expands).

I’m so glad I don’t have to see Marty Supreme, thank you for your reviews.

I’m a big OBAA fan, won’t see Sinners because I don’t do blood and horror, liked both Wake Up Dead Man and K-Pop much more than I thought I would.

After missing it last summer, we watched Life of Chuck. I love Tom Hiddleston but the child actors were asl really good. I was surprised how polarized the reviews are, the WashPo and Boston Globe have it as movie of the year and the NYT and New Yorker didn’t like it. I thought it was wonderful.

The Death of Robin Hood - Official Trailer

Well, that looks depressing. That must be what some poster online was referring to the other day when mentioning that it's about time we had a fun Robin Hood movie again.

I know. And it’s Hugh Jackman as Robin Hood, too.

although Sinners is a genre film, I dont think of it as horror. I normally think that kind of thing is lazy but this didnt have a lot of guts or blood IMO but I am up to my eyeballs in medical records every day so maybe my POV is skewed.
