Exactly.

It's hard to complain about a movie where

a giant ape picks up a smaller ape and uses him as a bat to hit other apes.

If that's not cinema, I don't know what is.

Godzilla Minus One is up next. I'm expecting something completely different.

GxK is a perfect dumb and fun movie. Not sure why that's so hard to figure out, but dumb and serious movies need to stop happening.

[eddy]

Are these Godzilla movies out streaming already? I see dune 2 came to HBO yesterday...

[nocera]

Godzilla x Kong is available on VOD. Minus One is not. Both are available in other ways...

[NTP66]

Minus One is so **** good.

[nocera]

The Fall Guy was fun. Not as fun as apes fighting frost dinosaurs but fun nonetheless. Gosling is so damn likeable and he and Blunt have good chemistry. I wasn't expecting the romantic subplot to work as well as it did and that's mostly because those two are great together. The plot takes a while to get moving but once it gets going, it's a fun action mystery that's better written than expected. Solid stunts too, which makes sense I guess. Would watch again.

[NTP66]

Good to hear, as my wife and I plan on watching that next weekend.

They had the director on the couch for Stuntmen React a couple weeks ago. Looked like a fun time.

My wife and I were talking about going to see that. We haven't seen a movie in a theater since she was pregnant (6.5 years ago)

It's already streaming if you just wanted to rent it instead. It pretty well flopped at the box office so I wonder if the move to streaming just 2 weeks after release was a panic move.

That's a long time to be pregnant

Hmmm...good call. I would prefer that, actually.

I just imagined my 4 foot, 55 pound child back in my wife's stomach and shuddered a bit.

[tifosi77]

That's about the size of a newborn great white shark.

That'll be fun. Predictable, probably stupid, but fun.

[nocera]

Yeah that looks better than expected. Where the hell has JGL been?

[nocera]

[NTP66]

Source of the post that looks better than expected

[count2infinity]

Both look much better than I would have guessed. I'd imagine I'll be disappointed in both, but we'll see!

[shafnutz05]

I love the look he gives JGL when he mentions '94. Although I still have a soft spot for that one too

[nocera]

Minus One is so **** good.

You weren't kidding. This isn't a "good monster movie." This is just a straight up good movie. The setting is really incredible and the concept of a shamed kamikaze pilot is so intriguing. Solid writing despite some turns being predictable, relatable characters with better than expected acting, great effects (obviously), monster doing monster ****, and an insanely good score. Sequel please.

argh. New Furiosa movie is 2.5 hours. Already going into it with a bad taste. Action movies should not be more than 2 hours

Did you enjoy Fury Road?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

yes. Even more so because it was exactly 2 hours long
