I haven't seen anyone write or mention this, so I will ask as I have not seen it.
Capone starring Tom Hardy.....anyone see it yet? Thoughts? Thanks

I watched some of that new David Spade movie. It is without a doubt the worst thing I've ever seen. Every joke was super choreographed like "Hey, we're doing a joke" but there was never a joke. That woman in it is just the absolute worst thing in the history of cinema. Move over Jar Jar Binks. She just screams unfunny things. Omg she says inappropriate stuff loudly and is embarrassing David Spade who has zero personality what a wacky scenario! The ongoing joke of Geoff Pierson not knowing David Spade's name yet no one is smart enough to know this raving lunatic isn't actually Miss Maryland. And she falls off the 100 foot cliff and survives like nothing happened? I watched about 20 minutes and she raped David Spade twice which is funny, I guess? oh she's so wacky.
This movie made Jack and Jill look appealing.

I forced myself to watch the whole movie and I agree with Mattrick. One of the worst movies I tortured myself with.
I bet you guys are fun at parties.

Hey I like dumb movies as much as the next person. I love Land Of The Lost and I don't think I've met anyone else who does including Will Ferrell fans. I can honestly say I didn't laugh at all during The Wrong Missy and I've found Lauren Lapkus and David Spade funny in other projects. Different views makes the world a better place.
Just debuted today on Netflix is "Lovebirds". I haven't seen it yet, but it's getting good reviews.

Can someone please copy and paste this so Bill can see it? Nobody wants to correct him because everyone is afraid of him. Or maybe everyone just ignores him. You don't have to say it came from me.
M. Night has been on a roll in recent years. The Visit wasn't a huge film, but it made money and restored M. Night's name. Split then made $278.5 million. Glass then made $247 million.
As for Sandler, even the biggest Sandler haters agree that The Wedding Singer was good. Even a film like 50 First dates was good. Then we have some of his more serious films like Punch Drunk Love and last year's Uncut Gems. You also can't say "In my opinion he's had a series of bombs." That's not an opinion. Love him or hate him, there is factual evidence that shows he's had quite a few box office successes.
Don't copy and paste this part but this is what I can't stand about this guy. I've never seen someone who knows so little about so much yet acts like he knows everything. Also, he's cringeworthy with his attempt at humor. "I see movie flops." Really?

Sandler is like the most successful guy in Hollywood. The two Grown Ups movies made nearly 550 million worldwide box office...as fucking depressing as that is. The Paul Blart movies he wasn't even in made nearly 400 million worldwide. His Netflix deal is disgusting. Even Jack and Jill brought in 150 million.
In terms of his good comedies there's Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, Just Go With It, and Little Nicky... and I kind of like Zohan for some reason. His dramas are usually solid...Punch Drunk Love, Uncut Gems, Reign Over Me, Spanglish. I've got Meyorwitz Stories on my queue.
I hate Sandler as a lazy ass filmmaker/producer who just gives his friends a bunch of money for slap dick comedies that are feature length resort ads with a "story " that people inexplicably pay to see.

I viewed it today and it was amusing, and at 89 minutes didn't wear out it's welcome. I'd give it 4/6 beers on the RFSRS.
did you read the book? it is really really good
there are so many more things to say about that movie, which still does not loosen its hold on bears; among them, the incredible, formidable, tremendously terrific and disquieting performance by Linda Manz, whom I had never seen before. I close my eyes and see her turning those cartwheels. Or smoking. Or just looking with those eyes.
...and one of the most powerful endings in cinema history
...and the music. Oh hell.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any that comes first. I am now downloading all Malik I can lay my paws on.

Beautiful review, Bears! I have not seen that film in ages but it's never left me. The part about Malick being cinema-poetry got me because that is almost exactly what I said to my friends after leaving one of his films we saw in the theater. Most good films are "novels" but Malick's films are "poems".
Can't wait to see how Days of Heaven does in our 1970s tournament next year!

Is it bad that I don't think I've seen a Terrence Malick movie. I tried to watch Tree of Life but I don't think I made it through it.
