Movie Club - What are you watching?

[GitHub Pronounsshe/her]

I like movies and I'm guessing other people might, too. So I thought it would be nice to have an ongoing thread where we can talk about what films we're currently watching and whether they're any good or not!

I recently watched Black Bear (2020) and it was one of the most interesting movies I've seen in a while.

It's a very "meta" film and I think the whole concept of telling a story about the artistic/writing process that forces the audience to create their own theory of what actually happened, is kind of brilliant.

And even for people who aren't a fan of non-traditional structure, the performances themselves were on another level.

I am really looking forward to watching Black Bear!

 

I am a HUGE movies fan, but I admit I've been awful in 2020 with watching new movies.

The last movie I watched was Happiest Season. I'm really looking forward to watching Tenet when it comes out.

omg please let me know your thoughts if you watch it! It seems like people either think it's brilliant or horribly pretentious and narcissistic

Yeah I know what you mean about 2020. I feel like I've missed so much this year. Really gonna be relying on those end-of-year "best of" lists

Big Time Adolescence - not worth it imo. The King of Staten Island was better even with its cheesy ending

The Trio thread got me rewatching a lot of the Disney Renaissance movies after we had a Disney round.  It had probably been 20 years since I'd seen most of them.  So far watched The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Hercules. It's wild going back to them.  Aladdin definitely made me gay

Also rewatched The Phantom Menace the other night and am going to rewatch Attack of the Clones this week because I hate myself (and I'm listening to a podcast that is recapping all the movies and TCW).

I'm currently obsessed over Titanic - both the movie and the disaster

Same! Glad to see a LGBTQ narrative represented in a mainstream holiday movie. What did you think?

The King of Staten Island was also better than expected but I was also let down by the ending

Yesss this is exactly how I felt. I wasn't expecting much, was pleasantly surprised, and then ultimately let down

Wait. Where do I find this? 
I voted for her in both elections and it’s probably my only real accomplishment outside this here site. Ha.

I REALLY liked it, but much like others, I was not a fan of the ending. I understood, and I loved Dan Levy's speech, but I just did not feel like it did Kstews character justice.

I still very much enjoyed it! Did you like it?

Kyutie... the YouTuber... not exactly a movie... but her videos feel like movies
