The "last movie I saw" thread

I'm riding a high right now after "Everything Everywhere All at Once". I have not been so enthralled with a movie like that for a long time. I didn't read anything about it before going in, and that is the way to do it. The movie is a roller coaster with pacing; the frenetic scenes are wonderful and the slower ones are a welcome break. It gets away with a lot of excesses and craziness because it has at it's heart a very touching story about life and family. It's very Pixar-esque in that regard. It clocks in a little over 2 hours, and I didn't want it to end. I will be throwing my money at the movie theater and watching it again. I cannot recommend it highly enough. This is about as solid of an 'A' movie as it gets.

A note about content: it's a soft 'R' with a few f-bombs. No nudity or sex scenes. There are a couple of laugh-out loud scenes with sex toys that would not fly in a PG-13 movie. But trust me when I tell you this: you would have to the most prudish person ever not to laugh at them.

Everything Everywhere All at Once holds up solidly a second time. Got more out of it this time. Such a great experience.

I’m telling you, this is one of my stronger recommendations in the 10 years I’ve been here. You really should see this.

Saw it yesterday. Loved it. Raccoonatoiue is one of the most hilarious bits I’ve ever seen.

Agreed. Could have done with more Raccoonatoiue and less hot dog fingers, but that’s a minor quibble.

Ha. Totally agree.

Just saw Everything Everywhere All at Once and it is a pretty amazing and very weird piece of work. I'm not at all sure I really enjoyed it (certainly not as much as NWC) and I'm still mulling over the theme and conclusion, but I have immense respect for the writers and directors (and the editors--a massive amount of work here) for doing something so imaginative and non-formulaic. I went alone--my expectation that Mrs. PAC wouldn't have enjoyed it was justified. But this is a movie I'd love to discuss with others and wouldn't mind watching again. But it's quickly leaving theaters so if you're trying to decide whether to go, better do so now before the new and far less imaginative Dr. Strange movie bumps EEAAO out of the cineplex this weekend,

P.S. The actors were all great and a tip of the cap to Jamie Leigh Curtis for packing on the pounds for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre, an IRS agent whose name apparently was derived from the 60's tune, "The Name Game."

At first I wasn’t sure whether it was good or just weird, but it just kept getting better. By the time Racoonatouie came along I was firmly in the This Movie Is Incredible camp.

That was good. Another favorite for me was the conversation between the two rocks.

Loved the rocks scene, especially when the mom turned around with googly eyes. To me that was emblematic of the movie as a whole, not being afraid of mining for a laugh in any scene, even the more poignant ones.

I get kind of being unsure about the movie. It's just a lot and it's all thrown at your face. The second time I watched it I noticed that the plot line was more 'deliberate' than what I had thought previously. The holes that I thought were there were explained adequately. And a couple of scenes even became more poignant, especially the one near the end where Evelyn is a movie star and talking about their respective lives with Waymond. Some really choice dialogue there.

Agree that Jamie Lee Curtis is fantastic in it. She's kind of the glue that holds everything together.

Hi name isn't Raymond??

The scenes with the rocks are great. I really want to watch again ASAP.

Yeah it’s Waymond. I couldn’t remember his name and checked on IMDb

[PaloAltoCougar]

I noticed it in the divorce petition caption. I assumed it was a misspelling in an attempt to honor BYU great, Waymon Hamilton.

Too bad it's only the three of us mulling over this movie.

[falafel]

I probably assumed it was just Data mispronouncing "Raymond" the way he mispronounced "booty-traps".

Let’s hope a PAC seal of sort of approval will get more to watch it!
