What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?
- Thread starter prodigy
- Start date
My theory is after the Force Awakens they had a number focus groups see the film and comment on various things. I bet one of the things that came out was the awkward pairing of Finn & Rey. Are they a thing? Was there feelings there? It had am ambiguous ending. Personally I don't think the pairing worked, there was just no chemistry and whenever they got close it was more comedy than anything else.
Hence I think that whole bit at the Casino & finding the Master Code Breaker in the Last Jedi was more to do with finding Finn a love interest and getting away from the Finn & Rey thing that they had half heartedly built up in the Force Awakens.
It's pretty clumsy if it's true... but it had to be done. They had built this 'Finn' character and they couldn't just drop him.

I saw this today and it's a let down of an explanation of the mirror scene in the last Jedi.

Saw The Greatest Showman yesterday about P.T. Barnum. If you aren't concerned about historical accuracy and you love musicals and circuses and curiosities, this is an entertaining movie. Hugh Jackman lights up the screen.

I watched it because I'm a Dax Shepard fan. I know, I know, make fun of me.
Movie wasn't great but somehow entertaining.

I am so tempted to watch Dunkirk again but I can't. It's a bad movie. Period. Nothing will convince me otherwise. Nolan does have some strong cinematography throughout but beyond that, it:
1) Does an absolutely awful job of paying homage to the supposed true heroes, the fishermen who used nearly 1,000 boats to go back and forth and save the lives of Allies, putting their own lives in danger in doing so. Just terrible. We see one ****ing boat for the first 95% of the movie and then, as they near the shore, all of a sudden, see maybe 20-30 more. That's it. And completely out of nowhere mind you. None of these other boats were anywhere in site despite a zillion other camera shots and angles throughout during which we would've and should've seen them. But we don't and when we do, it's just 20-30 of them. There was no respect for scale.
2) Does an awful job of also capturing the scale of the event. There were around 400,000 Allies on that beach. There were about 800,000 Germans involved in the battle which lasted a little longer than a week. And what does Nolan really show us? A couple of shots here and there of, what, maybe 2,000 soldiers?
3) Does an even worse job of portraying what the **** went on. Why the **** did he juxtapose scenes from different perspectives? Of all movie genres to do this in, I can't think of a worse possible one. And what's more, since the same scenes are shown multiple times, we're really left with about one hour of actual action taking place and through all of it, can't hear anything the characters ever say (which was rare mind you) because Nolan and Zimmer decided to blare their bass once again and drowned out all dialogue to the point that it was basically unintelligible. Once again, awful.
4) My son is wailing...more to come I think.

Stop--we all know you own the Pitch Perfect collector's edition.
Sent from my SM-G930P using JazzFanz mobile app
You're so tempted but you can't? So have you actually seen the movie or haven't you?
Nah that was actually the Alicia Silverstone's collector's set.
Wow that's actually what I'd said when you brought this up the first time - that because there is great light it has to be balanced by great darkness, but I didn't know about the Rey relying on Rey to get her through thing, that's actually pretty deep.

I forgot the word again.
Star Wars The Last Jedi again and it was even better the second time watching it.

If you never heard of this movie, I highly recommend it. It flew under the radar this year and is absolutely amazing. Great performances and writing.

Should I just wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it at home or should I actually go to the cinema again? Does it really get better when you know what's going to happen next?
It's a really good movie visually and sound wise. I wasn't worried about the plot stuff and could just enjoy the movie and I liked it a lot better. As far as the theater vs DVD goes that's probably just whatever your personal preference and what type of home setup you have.
Damn you make it really hard to NOT go see it AGAIN.
I'll probably ended up going again when the crowd starts to die down a bit...
