rewatching the Matrix trilogy with the kids
Reloaded cops way more shit than it is actually due
I think its big problem was following one of the best and most original sci fi/fantasy/action movies of all time.
But in its own right it's pretty cool. I've raved about the Freeway scene before. But the whole revelation that the prophecy and the one are all part of the control was pretty cool. Computer Virus smith was a good villain. it moves quick even with the Zion parts.
Its not perfect by any means, but doesn't deserve the level of scorn it has received
I'll see what i now think of Revolutions tonight.

Upon a closer look, it appears to be very slim pickings, even for camp value.

Going through this list:
Film list: Erotic Thrillers Forever
80s - present. Mostly DTV with some major studio content in the mix. All are firmly rooted in the thriller genre, no horror or action leaning titles. Lots of "naked", "passion", "sins", "heat", etc.

Well, there goes my weekend....
PS: Looks to be a great site.

@victor-meldrew Yeah, letterboxd can be pretty fun/useful, especially if you follow people with similar taste.
It's an NZ company, IIRC.

Groundhog day.
Dead set masterpiece. Five Punxatawney Phil's out of five Bill Murrays.
I haven’t seen it in years…..but from what I remember you may well be right.
no, no, I am right. It's exceptional.

Is there a worse cliche in movies than a kettle whistle while a person is getting bad news? It used to be used for suspense, which was also done 1000x times.
No. The worst cliche is the sergeant shouting "C'mon people, let's go!"

How do you watch these? 90s erotic films are the bomb.

@rancid-schnitzel if they have had a recent blu ray release there are a bunch of streaming sites that have them. Only takes a bit of googling.

Absolute Power - Clint Eastwood fucking hated sex demon Bill Clinton years before the Lewinsky scandal broke. Only one of those two went on to take many flights on Epstein's plane, and go to his Island without his secret service detail (see his long time head of staff Doug Band's interview in Vanity Fair).
In the ‘90s, America’s bourgeois critics praised the tepid satire of the thinly-veiled Bill Clinton allegory Primary Colors (1998) while dismissing the atomic truthbombs dropped by the thinly-veiled Bill Clinton allegory Absolute Power (1996).
