Underwater (2020) This was pretty lean and mostly descent action/horror/monster movie. Basically Kristen Stewart and a group of survivors are escaping a collapsing drilling facility at the bottom of the Mariana Trench but there's something else out there... It's a quick 95 minute movie that mostly works in it's favor since you don't have much time to think about the implausibility of the whole endeavor. And when I say this thing is pretty lean, I mean, the title is doing a lot of work to help you get oriented, because the actual movie doesn't. Hell, you have to pay attention to the newspaper clippings that flash on screen during the opening credits because this thing just starts with Kristen Stewart in her brushing her teeth in her underwear and a minute later all hell breaks loose. It feels a little like this thing was cut down a lot, too. There is a cryptic opening and closing voice over that adds nothing. Stewart has a back story but you don't really find out what that is until the last 10 minutes. So, most irrelevant except to explain the 3rd act choices. The movie does have a small cast that does include TJ Miller playing a TJ Miller character, so content warning on that, but no one is a particular stand out otherwise. Including Vincent Cassel whose role appears to be 50 year old among 20 year olds. I like this thing best when it's people trying to escape a collapsing underwater facility and less when it's people trying to escape CGI monsters. It made me think a little of The Descent in that way, accept without the fun creature effects. But it's still entertaining enough. Movie pitch: remake of Sphere except instead of an alien device that lets people psychically create monsters, it's just alien monsters. And the black person who dies first will be a dude this time. |

Spree. Mostly checked it out, because it was available on Hulu, and what else am I doing. Silly, violent movie about a guy who wants to get more followers on his social media page. He does a bunch of violent things to get you to smash that like button and ding that bell.
If you have Hulu and are not put off by murder, give it a try. Also, a solid use of person not putting the camera down during a filmed on phone/stationed cameras/found footage movie.

Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free Or Die Hard) 2007 No, I don't know why either. Prole, have you seen Die Hard V? It's even worse than this one. It takes place in Russia, and there's a scene where Jonathan McClane just walks across a street where he's wrecked some random guy's car I think during a chase scene or something. The guy starts yelling at him in Russian and he screams back at him "Do you think I understand a word of what you're saying?!?!?!?" Like just the absolute fucking nadir of noxious action movie jingoism. Also, I remember being fairly disiniterested in the fourth movie, but finding the fifth one almost unwatchably dull. |

It's one of the worst films I have ever paid money to see. Absolute complete piece of trash and not even entertaingly MST-style bad just utterly dull and pointless and unlikeable. 4.0 is bad but at least Maggie Q is in it for a bit and I like Maggie Q. 5 has no redeeming features whatsoever, and by the time they turn up at Chernobyl... *ROLLS EYES HARD* |

Superman II (1980)
Lois & Clark was a formative show for Ms. Goblin (though she fully admits how cheesy it was) and the Superman mythos is a source of inspiration for her in her advocacy work. However, she had never seen the Reeve movies. I skipped out on the first one the night before but joined for II, based on my fond memories of Terence Stamp as Zod (still great). Surprisingly, she didn't care for Reeve's performance as Kent and found it too nebbishy. So, take heart Dean Cain; somebody prefers you.
And no, we're not going to bother with The Richard Pryor Show featuring Superman and the Golan-Globus tragedy. However, she does want to see the 2006 reboot even though Singer & Spacey have turned out to be less than savory.

Unpleasant piece of work though he is Spacey is good casting as Luthor and I've come to really enjoy Routh as Superman. It's not perfect but any measure but it deserves a much fairer crack of the whip than it usually gets. |

Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free Or Die Hard) 2007 No, I don't know why either. I have had a hate-boner for that movie since before it even finished production. Those jerks blocked off so many streets in downtown Baltimore that it screwed up the MTA buses even worse than they're already screwed up. It took me four hours to get home, when it should have taken 45 minutes, and I was late to my shift at work. This was well before smartphones were ubiquitous, and if a couple of office ladies hadn't taken pity and told me, I would have stood at my usual stop forever.
I am also mad at The Wire's production crew, but that's a story for the TV thread.

I guess I watched the first half of Warner Brothers Presents In Association with DC Comics & HBO Max Zack Snyder's Justice League. So, far, it's maybe better than the theatrical cut, but also I mostly just remember that movie as being kind of a boring mess and once Superman decided to save humanity, things wrapped up pretty quick, like when the lion robots finally decide to join together and form Voltron. Anyway, it's certainly a Snyder movie. It's desaturated and dour, but at least it's consistently dour and doesn't have an Avengers movie grafted over the top, like a CGI top lip.
For the edge-lord bros, characters say "fuck" a few times. And the heroes pretty violently murder a bunch of people. Seriously, Wonder Woman punches so dudes to death and then needlessly blows a man up while looking him dead in the eye and a little girl asks "Can I be like you one day?" So, I guess that scene was for the edge-lord bros with daughters.
We'll see how it all wraps up. I expect with 75% slow-mo punch fight between CGI characters.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021-ish) It's... mostly fine? Taken simply as a movie, separated from all the internet kerfuffle about the how's, why's and fanboys of things*, what you have is a four hour movie that could stand to be about three but is otherwise a divertingly OK way of spending a few hours. It's obviously a different aesthetic to the MCU and that's not going to be for everyone, but it does what it does perfectly acceptably. Damned with faint praise? Maybe, but really, there's little to get worked up about here. It helps that the cast are mostly excellent - Gadot is simply a terrific Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller is a pleasingly dweebish Flash and, at least as far as Bruce Wayne goes, Ben Affleck is solid. Aquaman is still ridiculous and the movie could stand to lean into that a bit more to give greater tonal variation, but the character works well enough. This Batman isn't one of the greats - not really Affleck's fault, that suit is ugly - but he's not dreadful either. Superman's the one who comes out of this worst, relegated both in terms of screen time and character, but Cavill gets a few moments that really land (his happiness with Ma Kent back on the farm) and the scenes of his post-rebirth simply tearing shit up is the closest that Snyder gets to fulfilling his "these are barely understandable distant Gods" approach to the character. It's not a great approach, let's be honest, but at least in that sequence there's a brief sense of how that could be made to work in the hands of a better writer. Steppenwolf is a silly villain but at least the movie seems to largely understand that and his dispatching in favour of a proper bad guy in Darkseid is pleasingly dismissive of him. Yes, this is absolutely too long, yes the Knightmare sequence is pointless and stupid when the movie has already successfully concluded, but if not a vindication, exactly, the Snyder Justice League manages to justify its existence. For better or worse. Expanded thoughts here: www.jgmcquarrie.scot/2021/03/zack-snyders-justice-league.html* Let's be clear though, this is miles better than the Wheadon Frankenmovie the original cut was. Characters have arcs rather than just appearing, the plot makes noticeably more sense and its actually possible to enjoy.

Snowpiercer - Hot damn what a movie. The ax car is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. After this and Parasite, I believe I will be watching all of Bong's movies as soon as possible. Unfortunately The Host, which is the one that most interests me to see next, is not included on any of my streaming services. But Okja and Mother are.

The Host is on Kanopy, so you might be able to access via your library or university. Memories of Murder is also held in high regard, but I admit I was utterly flummoxed at what people are seeing in it. Maybe something just got lost in translation. |

Having a proper story and arc helps Cybog immensely but he's fairly rote even among this lot. |

They also went the unusual route of making Cyborg the most mopy, brooding version of Cyborg to ever appear in any depiction of the character. On a team where you already have Batman, they actually decided they needed more brooding. Victor's always had that element of unwanted power in his background, but never before did he seem to question whether he even wanted to still be alive. Anyhow there's a LOT more Cyborg, and his father in this movie. I'd say a major portion of that extra couple of hours of run time, at least the parts that aren't filled with Norwegian folk songs about Aquaman and sweater sniffing, are focused on Cyborg. He pretty much went from the major character of the movie to a barely supporting role in the theatrical version. Maybe he didn't get along with the replacement director or something. |

I actually spent a fair amount of Friday and Saturday looking for a streaming source for Brother From Another Planet. I was unable to find one, and wasn't quite desperate enough to break out my DVD. I had completely forgotten he was in Justice League, so was quite delighted when he showed up as Vic's dad. |

Soul (2020)
Wow, this was excellent! I was way, way more impressed by this than I thought I would be, but it really was fantastic. The animation is great, it's a pleasingly non-schmaltzy approach to something like the afterlife and the cast are on absolute fire. Oh and the music is fucking great too. The runtime is a brisk 90 minutes, which is precisely the right length of time for the amount of material they have, and it feels inventive in a way that is remarkably fresh, especially in something like the Picasso-inspired councillors. I dunno, it just hit me in exactly the right spot and it's a great affirmation of what Pixar are capable of doing when not just cranking out sequels to existing franchises. Very, very thoroughly recommended.

Unfortunately The Host, which is the one that most interests me to see next, is not included on any of my streaming services. But Okja and Mother are. The Criterion Channel has a bunch of his stuff iirc. And The Host is good, but imo it’s his weakest film. I’m a big fan of Barking Dogs Never Bite, his first film, which feels kind of like a spiritual prequel to Parasite, even if it doesn’t have quite the same budget. Also, what was your opinion of Eggs Man from Snowpiercer? |

Valdez is Coming (1971) - I've become my dad. After dinner I sit in an armchair in the corner of the living room and watch old westerns on basic cable. Here a lawman named Valdez was coming to get $100 from a shitty rancher. It was a pretty decent western revenge fantasy I guess. I will probably continue watching random-ass late 60s/early 70s westerns on the channel I get that only plays random-ass late 60s/early 70s westerns.

Finished the Snyder Cut. It's definitely better than the theatrical cut, but I don't know what they would have done with the this 4 hour monstrosity for theaters. Certainly a good bit of fat could be trimmed, including some terrible epilogue scenes. Maybe cut the thing in two? Infinity War/Endgame style? Still, it was nice the characters had room to be established and the plot made sense this time. It's maybe the best of the Snyder directed DC movies? That's real faint praise though. It's maybe more interesting as a curio than anything else. It makes me want to see the original director cuts of some other movies like Rogue One, the Josh Trank's F4nt4stic Four, or hell, even Suicide Squad. I can't image any of these are Brazil-level hidden masterpieces, but I find the process fascinating.

Bushwick (2017)
Dave Bautista-starring actioner about a Brooklyn coup by Red State secessionists, who are apparently numerous and organized enough to have tactical-clad soldiers in every single block in the borough. An objectively terrible movie but kind of fascinating that this is what some thought an insurrection would look like in the bygone year of 2017. Noteworthy: the lone film score to date by Aesop Rock.
