The "last movie I saw" thread

[Katy Lied]

Saw Knifes Out. Was underwhelmed although I may have gone in with overamped expectations. Didn't like Daniel Craig as the southern gentleman. Loved Toni Collette as the vamp. Loved Rian Johnson's camera angles. Not so much his coloring. Two questions:

1. Was the husband having an affair with the nurse, or with someone else??
2. So the nurse was Brazillian (she has a portuguese last name) but she emigrated from Uruguay? Wouldn't that mean that she legally obtained a work permit in Uruguay, and then legally obtained another one in the US? Why wouldn't she just obtain one directly from Brazil to USA? Seems to me that the Brazillian-to-US path is a little easier.

Daniel Craig was great.

What did you think of him in Logan Lucky?

[SCcoug]

Cabrera is a Spanish last name.

Daniel Craig was great.

I thought so too.

I saw this before Christmas and had no expectations. Hadn't heard of it and our 20-year-old said it was good, so I wondered. But it was very entertaining. The doughnut hole speech still cracks me up.

I liked KniVes Out, too. It is not a change your life sort of movie but very entertaining and I thought Craig was very good.

You missed the point on where she was from. Each family member said she was from somewhere else (Uruguay, Ecuador, Paraguay, etc.). I.e., they don't know anything about her and don't care like they profess to.

That was one of the best gags in the movie.

Agreed

(on an ACTUALLY side note that has nothing to do with the movie- not one thing about a Brazil-US path would be easier than one from Uruguay; we are actually pretty stiff with Brazilians. Uruguay is a little better- they even had visa waiver privileges (they could come to the US with just a Uruguayan passport) up until 2003).

I read about that film for a class in college but never did watch. How emotionally demanding is it?

Not at all really. It's all very surreal -- basically the first-person perspective of a guy wandering through the museum. He walks for a while with a diplomat with a lot of disdain for Russian culture and they see various characters from Russian history, as if they're all unstuck in time. Nothing is really explained; there's no plot to speak of. Just an experience. Puts a lot of viewers to sleep, but can be very cool if you're up for it.

Saw 1917 last night. I really liked it aside from the motion sickness it gave me watching it on a giant screen.

I have been listening to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History - Blueprint for Armageddon podcast episodes again. It should be a good prep for this movie. I am pretty excited to see it.

Man, WW1 was just brutal.

I listened to that a couple summers ago. Really brutal.

Interesting video about the continuous take in 1917

The way that 1917 was filmed is pretty cool. It is really hard to tell that it was not taken in one shot.

There is, however, something that really bugs me about 1917 in its plot:

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Why didn't they just fly over and drop the message out of one of those bi-planes? That seems like it would be a lot easier.
