Listen to the Struggle for Pleasure:
A big fan of Peter Greenaway. This is one of his best films. I saw this probably 25 years ago and still can't get the sight of Brian Dennehy's bollocks out of my head

Movies you like that are universally disliked and panned
I like "Sahara" with Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz. It's stupid, but it's fun. Fuck you i don't care.
Cruz looks hawt in her black singlet and cargo pants.
Disclaimer: I also like National Treasure. Stupid adventure movies are my thing.

I had a thing for Claire Forlani in the late 90s so I've seen it a few times as well. I still laugh every time Pitt gets smacked.

@antipodean that's a good movie! How fucking hot is Forlani in it?

I've always found her to be at her hottest in Mallrats, then she started getting skinnier.

Anyone seen Black Panther yet? Is it overhyped?
Creaming it in the box office, made more in its opening 4 day weekend then DC’s Justice League made in its entire domestic run. (US box office)
Proving yet again how far ahead the MCU is ahead of DCs

Black Panther is drawing the weirdos up to the edge of their echo chambers.
If you don't love it, you hate black people apparently. Saw an article labeling it "Shakespeare". It might be the greatest movie ever according to some. White supremacists were apparently down rating it on websites before it even got to previews, and claiming it is racist or something (not clear on the details).
But apparently its so great to FINALLY have a black comic book hero on screen, according to some.
Riiiiiiiiight.

@nta I don't read the stuff from either side (I usually find out about it on the Fern), I just go watch the movie.
Apparently the movie The Promise is the best example of the stupidity of internet rating of movies. It had a middle-ish rating on IMDB as the Armenian's were up-voting it and the Turkish were down-voting it. This was well before the movie had been released.

@nepia yeah I just see the headlines and sometimes the byline if it turns up in a search or SM feed.
I avoid reading in detail because I don't want my expectations set. I think it'll be pretty good, because MCU don't tend to piss about with these things.
It'll do well to keep up with Ragnarok, because that was extremely entertaining in a humorous sense, which I dig. But as long as its entertaining in whatever sense, I don't really care.

I liked it, some stuff annoyed me with it, like any superhero film, plus I think the 'bad guy' is a way more charismatic actor than the good guy. And the visuals were mostly great. I actually think it needs a second watch. My second watch confirmed to me how good Thor was, my second watch of Justice League I thought a lot less of it (I didn't love it first time round but thought it was an ok switch off your brain film).
I tend to never read anything about a movie until after I've seen it.
It does look like BP is going to outstrip Thor in box office though - it's cruised to 400m.

Watched that 3 Billboards movie last night.
Pretty good, great acting, storyline everything.
4 racist cops out of 5 homophobic cops.

The wife and I were tired the other night so chucked on an Adam Sandler movie on Netflix as a "mindless comedy" to watch. Mindless is right, but it was pretty fucking far from a comedy. He is genuinely taking the piss with those Netflix movies, that was the worst steaming pile of shit I've ever tried to watch, could only last 20 minutes. I can't remember what it was called and don't want to know, but if you have an inkling to watch ANY of his newer movies... DON'T.
