Schoolio's Movie Corner

My bad.

Welp, it was good and I enjoyed it.

Saw Avengers. Really enjoyed 30 seconds near the end, could have passed on the rest. I'm really tired of these superhero movies.

[RedHotSgtPeppers]

Captain America was boring and trite, IMO.

[Mugwog]

Capt. America, for me, really lost the whole movie when it went into - Captain America vs WW2: The Montage

I did enjoy the Iron Man series, but that's quite possibly due to the wit of Robert Downey Jr. being such a likeable smug asshole

[schoolofruckus]

B-movie and well executed satire are not mutually exclusive.

On principle, I totally agree. The blockage is within me.


Here's a trailer for Ben Affleck's next directorial outing, which was one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. The plot is pretty outlandish, but it's based on a true story. They shot Warner Bros. as its 70's self, so it was a challenging but satisfying endeavor, and it appears the finished film is going to be just as enjoyable.

Affleck is turning out to be a pretty good director.

[schoolofruckus]

It's barely released and has an incredible amount of buzz from various film fests. Fucking read things RedHotSgtPeppers

What did he say?

I'm excited for this if only to see Michael Parks as Jack Kirby.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

What did he say?

He came in and said how he just saw this underrated movie called God Bless America and we should all check it out.

EDIT: Just busting your balls, RedHotSgtPeppers, btw. It was just really perfect timing, considering the several posts about it right before.

[RedHotSgtPeppers]

Yeah, I know. I honestly didn't read any of the posts above me before I posted that. I just hit "last page" and scrolled all the way down. I promise I'm not retarded. lol

Filter is doing a screening of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom at the ArcLight Hollywood. The screening will be happening on May 22 at 7:30pm. RSVP!

[schoolofruckus]

Very interesting....anyone know what time Spiritualized usually takes the stage?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Someone said 10pm for one of the recent show. If that's the case and the screening starts on time, totally doable.

It is SO worth it to just wait until the 25th for MK...getting a shit spot at the Wiltern is the worst, and if you get there before doors you can hop in line with me and we'll get into the pit.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Eh, i walk onto the floor AT show time at the Wiltern all the time and I'm always happy with my spot.

[cutterbutter]

Show time for the opening band/ticket time or time for the headlining band? I can imagine it be quite a difference.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Headlining band. I walk in and out of the floor a lot, getting drinks, going to the bathroom, smoking. i can't stand staying in one place waiting between bands unless i'm at a festival all day.

[TallGuyCM]

Regardless, if you've been salivating at the chance of seeing Spiritualized again for 3 1/2 years now like I have, this decision is a no-brainer.

[cutterbutter]

Do you know important it is to say you saw the new wes anderson movie before anyone else? Its the epitome of hipsterdome. And then showing up to the gig like you just dont give a fuck is even better.

/s

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Definitely not knocking anyone else for wanting to do that, it's just not my thing and I don't see it as a deal break. i watch a lot of shows from back by the bar at the Wiltern and it's great. the line of site is great, and sound is great, and the room really isn't that big.

[schoolofruckus]

Yeah, I probably won't try for that Moonrise Kingdom screening. I was just speculating.

If this story has any truth, this might end up being the most fucking insane movie ever made:

The screening of God Bless America was wonderful, I encourage EVERYONE on this board to see it.

[flaminggodlikecreature]

Isn't Ben affleck directing The Stand? Or is that not official yet?

[Miroir Noir]

Don't know if you guys have discussed it yet, but I loved the new Whit Stillman. I had forgotten that it always takes about a half hour or so to get submerged in the dialogue of his characters, but once I fully locked in, it was some great stuff.

[Miroir Noir]

Also, Gretta Gerwig is keut.

[schoolofruckus]

I watched Deconstructing Henry last night, under the impression that it was one of the more laugh-packed Woody Allen comedies. I didn't find it to be that uproarious, but it was still pretty enjoyable.

[buddy]

Definitely not one of his "most laughed-packed" comedies. That would probably go to Bananas or even Sleepers, for just plain slapstick comedy. Even Sweet & Lowdown and Small Time Crooks would be better straight-forward "comedies." I guess what i'm saying is you got bad advice.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yeah, Deconstructing Harry gets downright depressing as the movie goes on. I do always get a kick out of the kid naming his penis after John Dillinger. I need to rewatch that movie.
