PS: Amy Adams was on Kimmel yesterday. She seems like a pretty cool character. I can see why she's getting a lot of roles these days.
Even less for Daniel.
Gran Torino
Hang Em High
...and some other movies I already forgot about.
Thanks for recommending LONELYHEARTS! Powerful, honest movie. I love the vulnerability Montgomery Clift oozes. Did you know Dolores Hart is now a Catholic nun?
Asura: The City of Madness (2016)
After the fun but ultimately forgettable asian film with Matt Damon I saw this afternoon, I decided to discover a proper offering from Asia. I then turned to one of the latest South Korean crime/gangster thriller: 'Asura - The City of Madness'. And let me tell you that this is one of the most badass, brutal and violent Korean film I've seen in a while. @Creasy47, @DarthDimi and @doubleoego who I know enjoy these badass Asian films, you will be served. Insanely brutal brawls using metal bars, axes, knives, baseball bats? Check. Massive shootouts? Check. Epic car chase? Check. Graphic footage of people getting squashed when run over by cars? Check. The most brutal bloodbath of a climax since 'The Man From Nowhere'? Check. Once again these asian guys absolutely wipe the floor with what Hollywood has to offer in terms of action scenes. This is one of the best Korean crime/gangster films I've seen in a while, totally brutal stuff with a complex police investigation that keeps you on your toes for the 2 hours and 15 minutes of run time.
Legendary editing work, no? X_X
Urgh, the slow motion.
Also, parts of it felt like the film should have been made in the late 90s/early 2000s.
I was also expecting 'Soundtrack of the Year' by how much people praised the songs in that movie...but all I heard were a lot of overplayed "hits" from decades back, or a ton of garbage rap music. I swear, you throw a little Rolling Stones or Queen into a movie, and people think it's the greatest film soundtrack ever.
It's just a film of random images. Hard to tell what time it is, where characters are, what the timeline of events is, how much time has passed, why we should care... I've never seen such a badly edited blockbuster film with that big a budget in my life.
Yep...and most of the backstories were so cheesy too.
From that very first official image we saw of Leto, I knew I wasn't going to care for his take on the character whatsoever, and sure enough, I was right. In fact, I feel like the film might've been better off not utilizing the Joker at all, instead focusing on the team and their mission and not the 'Harley wants to escape' subplot they had working in the background throughout the runtime.
If only Harley was actually Harley. Harley's more Joker than Harley in that film, quite bizarrely.
What, @BAIN123, you mean you didn't like the character backstories that just flashed for one second on the screen and then were never touched on again? Why not? ;)
Wow, wait, so they filmed Joker footage (I've heard about all the scenes that made neither the finished film nor the extended edition) and cut it...just so they can save it and use it for a spinoff? Sounds lazy and clueless, like they're just sort of patching these movies together as time goes on and hoping for the best.
Like I mentioned elsewhere, if Ayer directed 'Suicide Squad' and it debuted to abysmal reviews and box office returns that weren't as stellar as they hoped, why do they feel an all-female spinoff with the same director is the way to go? It's like BvS failing miserably, so they let the same director helm 'Justice League' with more characters. I don't know, I don't follow this superhero stuff that well, only catching news snippets that I see on other sites, so perhaps there's a logical reason for all of this. To me, though, it just seems like a bad idea.
It's true. They must have realized Robbie just sucked up all the air in the room compared to Leto and went with it. Her character kind of reminds me of Michelle's Catwoman, in a good way.
Now, who knows if a Suicide Squad 2 will happen, or a Justice League Part II, Cyborg film, New Gods movie, etc. Can't say I'll be hurt if it all fails to get off the ground as none of the projects interest me anyway.
DC are shuffling their creative representatives and are trying to steer their ship into port safely, but they let Snyder and co. run amok for far too long before stepping in to fix things. Now they're trying to change the tone of their films mid-production and making a shoddy job of editing bad cuts of the films, only to release extended cuts for most of them afterward anyway to apologize for their continued failures.
With the returns a lot of these movies are getting at the box office, along with how many fans there are clamoring for them, I don't see the state of comic book movies doing anything other than growing and expanding from here on out. Like I said, I get the love for them, but it's just not something I'm into any longer.
I think Ben Affleck makes a great Batman/Bruce Wayne, but, I have no intention of seeing Suicide Squad ; a blatantly "Made for the lowest denominator who finished their education at the age of ten" film. I value my time and intelligence!
I agree about Leto. Marilyn Manson meets Billy Idol. Warner Bros. think they can go against Marvel with their comic-book DAD. Seems the management at Warner Bros. have amnesia about the recent Nolan films.
Give me Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger. And I salute Caesar Romero!
Like you, I don't know if it's me growing up or the excess of these films either. I just know it's all getting a bit repetitive and passé for me. Almost like I have to take a break from it for a while.
