IDK if this is unpopular, but I thought Marriage Story was pretty bad. It felt like a series of scenes performed by the struggling actors on Barry. The addition of the genius grant and successfulness of their careers as a director and actress feels completely unrelatable when tackling such a common universal subject like divorce and I think it was all covered pretty well with The Squid and the Whale.

Stemming from recent conversations in the Rise of Skywalker thread, I fucking love Attack of the Clones.
Not sure this is exactly the type of thing for this thread, but it always bothered me that Jonathan Rhys Davies played three voice of the Ent as well as playing Gimli in LOTR.
Stemming from the film awards thread, I think that the following are all genuinely great:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Green Book
Joker
Queen
Vice
Bohemian Rhapsody - 4/10
Green Book - 5/10
Joker - 6.5/10
Queen - no opinion either way
Vice - 4.5/10
Midnight Run (1988) - 9
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
Sisters (1973) - 6.5
Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
Bohemian Rhapsody - 5/10
Green Book - 5/10
Joker - 5/10
Queen - 5/10
Vice - 5/10
Seems appropriate for this thread...
BBC's Dracula was freaking brilliant.
It should be illegal for two women to sit next to each other in a movie theatre, especially white women over forty, because they don't know how to keep their fucking mouths shut.
Just because...

Bohemian - Movie - * Song - ****
Green Book - ** 1/2
Joker - *** 1/2
Queen - exceptional. Will listen to Bohemian Rhapsody song any time.
Vice - *** 1/2 maybe even ****
So you met those two sacks of shit who initially ruined La La Land for me, too?Quoting baby doll (view post)

WTF Theaters are you guys going to? millennials are by far the worst! Get off your fuckin phones!
My favorite thing about the AMC remodel is the walls they installed between each row of seats, which instantly blocks out anyone playing on their phones in the rows ahead of you. Theater texting hasn’t been nearly as problematic as a result.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Does nothing to block off assholes who won’t shut the fuck up, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Youre absolutely right. And ALLLLLLLLL of these are the people I'm surrounded by in the cinema.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Hence why I've seen like 2 movies in theater this year.
Millenials to the left of me, boomers to the right, here I am, at home illegally streaming Korean subtitled american movies.

I feel thankful that with how Alamo sets up their theaters with stadium seating, you don't really see too many people in front of you, and certainly not to your side. And I'll usually be kind of strategic with the seat I pick if it's not full.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
The Landmark arthouse theaters consist of mostly people that are also very into movies.
It's when I step away from this and go to any other theater where I get people that drift from movie to movie, teens that had no interest in the first place, or whatever else.
When I go to a theater and pick a seat, it's just a seat to see where all the assholes will sit. My real seating will be revealed 15-20 minutes into the film when the losers finally stumble in.
That is harder to do these days with assigned seating.Quoting Skitch (view post)
