Watched on the strength of this and I liked a lot of the action but it dragged a little (maybe from me being at home and a little distracted rather than the cinema) great chat fellas!

OMG Coda was so bad I couldn't finish it. I was furious when it won! Regarding King's Speech, I liked it well enough. I remembered loving the soundtrack and listening to it again years later and it did nothing for me , haven't seen the movie since though.

Honestly from my POV there’s worse movies but it probably deserves it 😂 Great video chaps.

This is an old people's movie that was voted for by old people

Wow wonderful video. All the videos on your channel are fantastic. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.,.,........................

Hmm, the "forgetting" of an Oscar-level movie is an intriguing idea for discussion. A few points. First, is this really so surprising, especially in our current world in which stories set in historical periods and power structures that don't resemble our own make movies less appealing to "modern audiences". I'm not overwhelmed with conversations about Chariots of Fire (which I saw in London and loved before it was known) or Shakespeare in Love. But I also think "star power" - both in performers and directors - plays a major factor in keeping movies "remembered". Firth is a credible "star" but he's not in the league of Michael Caine or even Bob Hoskins (or that Obi Wan guy) in terms of iconic UK stardom. Spending hours on youtube I note that most "older movie discussion" usually drifts to movies with "auteur" directors (Kubrick, Hitchcock, Lean, Ridley Scott) or a very select group of actors. And overall, as the Oscars are far less relevant than they were in the past, is this a surprise at all? I'd argue that the last Best Picture winner that has "stood the test of time" in terms of ongoing discussion is No Country For Old Men from 2007 due to the popularity of the Coens, its genre, and its iconic villain.

LOVE this new video type on your channel!

Spin off!

This was really great and insightful you two. Congrats on 4+ Years,! Your Da 5 Bloods mentioning is giving me some serious fond memories 😊

Sorry I missed the Livestream, Fellas!!! CONGRATS on FOUR YEARS!!!! Woot Woot!

@shashankvchari900 In answer to your question (two weeks later), my favourite James Cameron movies are Aliens and Terminator 2, strangely both sequels.

I admire Dev Patel’s passion behind the camera and emotionally charged performance in front of the camera. The action was fun at times but a little shaky and choppy more often than I would’ve wanted. The movie also dragged a lot for me in the middle. I liked it and enjoyed my time, but I think it is being a little overhyped. Thats just me though. Great review!

The cops are on to us! (Evidence of a policeman in a doughnut store (!) starts at about 3:56.)

my experience shows that when you have high expectations or have been following a lot of hype about a movie it very often leads to a slight (or massive!) letdown, compared to "seeing a movie cold" - so the fact it surpassed Rob's "great expectations" is extremely high praise indeed

Yes it is, but one has to acknowledge it only does so because it is also the perfect sequel. It wouldn't exist without 1979 Alien, but Cameron was able to extend and expand the world, the lore, the characters pretty much flawlessly, and most importantly, respecting the material he was building upon. He didn't go for the "i can make a better survival horror movie than Alien", he watched it and thought "yup that's perfect, i'll go FORWARD with this, keep the basic rules, and turn it into an action movie." He had the balls to do it, but stayed humble enough to avoid retcons and keep the continuity. Something Ridley Scott even later failed to do.

Yes.

Yes, it is 😀

Here's the link to a fan remastered version of the original trailer of this outstanding flick - ua-cam.com/video/bTCaVjQ8nU4/v-deo.htmlsi=GLE3xo-rMjeb1Qee

Yep, utterly perfect. Sadly followed by Alien 3, worst sequel of all time (4 rescues the series to a large degree).

It the best movie i know, its So good it appears fresh after 200 viewings. I still discover cool Details, like when the Torch Cuts through the grate and the camera gets closer to the Molten metal and hisses. Aliens is a Genre almost on its own, its the encapsulation of everything Alien.

Vietnam in space. Overconfident troops. The enemy hiding in all kinds of crevices. The enemy turning the environment against invaders. Communism disguised as extreme parasitism. Nuclear threat. Corruption at home.

We mentioned a couple of pieces during our conversation.

You guys are literally answering your own questions when you walk yourself through the arguments. Where else would you go if you end the second movie on top? You end the third movie with the fall of Paul’s power and significance. You show the effects of the jihad and his genetic line, you question the entire thousand year old Bene Geserit program.

Where’s the pinned clip of alternate ending?

Sorry I missed the Livestream!!! Still unpacking and getting my gear set up! Dragon Movie Guy's UA-cam return grows closer!!! Woot Woot, at least in time for Dune Part Three!!! Lol...

Woof 😂😂😂

I liked it

Well, call me a romantic but I quite enjoyed Past Lives and its theme of destiny versus choice. But it’s about more than that. To me, it’s about wanting, denying, sacrifice, and regret. The heart and the head. The pull that draws two people together again and again. The tightrope of emotional infidelity and not knowing who Nora would ultimately choose. I liked the pacing and appreciated the elegant storytelling. Especially refreshing was that all three characters restrained from saying or doing what they really wanted instead of just selfishly spewing or acting without thought of the consequences. Perhaps that’s just a nuance of the Canadian way.

If you have the CC on, that train movie reference should be Silver Streak (not Street).

a great segment also know as: Critics in Diners Getting Donuts!

great job guys

This is very much a dark comedy, from a Danish view. A very typical Danish dark comedy/action movie. Probably a lot is lost in translation, and because Danes and Americans are just different in mentality.

some great takes, guys. The issue I wonder about - increasingly as my favourite directors age - is how the "pressure" of being a revered filmmaker can impact the look and length of movies made toward the end of a career. Scorsese won his Best Picture for The Departed, but we all know his best film was Goodfellas (still the best true mob film ever made) - so how does the expectation of "greatness" affect how you shape your movies --- particularly when dealing with such a weighty true story as KOTFM -- and massive budgets you never had before - can't exactly go lean and mean, right?

I agree with you so much on this one Rob. The story deserved a different take. But still really liked this movie owing to the perfomances and the ending was a masterstroke.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!

Boo, Cody. Let's send the Beekeeper after him!

By the way ppl, apparently you cant write the word snow@$ke without some youtube overseer being upset.

There is nothing wrong with testosterone and alpha male things.

There is nothing wrong with alpha male testosterone. Snowflakes cry about that..not real men!

Fyi, we had a deeper conversation about this flick a few days later. Check it out on our video podcast, Jim and Rob Over-Analyze Movies! ua-cam.com/users/live2MAi5qolSS8

It's rated R so its not a family movie.

I thought the characters were the weakest part, I didn’t get invested in any of them, but as far as a sci-fi film plopped on Netflix goes it wasn’t too bad. Great review,Rob

thanks for your review, Rob. Sounds like if you are going to rip off Lucas and Kurosawa, that's okay as long as you do it well and give us dialogue and characters that punch the card (see Godzilla Minus One for a recent example or Fury Road's mining of John Ford). Instead this one sounds like a standard trope collection where "things blow up really good". Meanwhile, regardless if it developed as a movie or TV project, if it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

One bad sign is the three-part title; that never bodes well.

I’ve heard many people talk about the film having slow parts. I think they are mistaking quiet for slow. The quiet moments are used to develop characters and almost no time is wasted in this movie. I’ve seen it 5 times and took my Dad twice, he is older and during most movies he falls asleep a lot. He only nodded off once the second time for a few seconds during the whole film. Considering he originally didn’t want to go see it at all, that’s saying something.

Libertarian not rt wing

Skip it. It's boring.

がんばてよ

Horrible movie! Can’t believe people enjoyed it? People don’t expect much anymore 😢

I don’t know about a sequel, especially since Anno’s take was a one go thing. That being said I absolutely expect more regular kaiju films out of Japan now.
