What I've watched lately :
The Royal Exchange : French and Spanish courts swapping their princesses for peace. I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more, if not for that old woman who arrived late, used her cell phone to finally sit at the back row (of course mine, while there were only like 10 people in the theater) and started to make all kind of noise. When I finally gave up and asked her to be less noisy, she went nuts, shouting that I was crazy and adding "How could you understand that movie, you're not even French !". Old witch, be damned ! Back to the movie itself now, honestly at first I didn't like that typically French acting, very theatrical, I mean stage-like, especially for the King of Spain's character (played by Lambert Wilson), which really looked OTT. As the story unfolds though, this acting makes sense and looks appropriate for the portrayal of each character. The teenager playing king Louis XV stood out (in a good way).
The Shape of Water : Somehow I was not enough in a fairy tale mood. So, although I liked how each character's background was well-developed, overall I found it a bit long and kinda boring.
Bravo Virtuoso : Armenian dark comedy about a young clarinetist who in order to fund his orchestra semi-willingly (and initially by accident) takes on a hired killer's contracts. Crazy movie, rather weird, I liked it.
Black Panther : I liked it too, probably thanks to the good looking actors, self-mockery and often good music. LOVED the female warriors. I'm not sure what to think about the end of the villain. To me he was not villain enough, or his background made me sympathize too much with his character (but then, had he not been handsome as an adult, I wouldn't have cared that much about his childhood story).
I, Tonya : I very much enjoyed the first part of the movie (before the incident).
Loved LaVona's character haha.
There's always a big box of popcorn to hide behind.
Don't get me wrong, I love eating popcorn. I just don't do it at the movies and I absolutely can't stand noisy eaters. Watching a movie with all this parasitic noise of loud popcorn, sweet or whatever crap eaters is the worst. This, plus the cell phones and people chatting. Going to the movies with all the distracting stuff around has not been so enjoyable in the last five years or so. Too often I have to walk out of a session because of noise, the latest was just 2 days ago, because of a couple who arrived late and sat 2 rows before me. They were so loud with their damn popcorn and laughing because they knew it bothered the couple who was sitting below them as well. Unfortunately they were not the only noisy ones. A lot of others with their buckets, m&m's, soda bottles or cans just wouldn't behave either. So, no
Mary and the Witch's Flower for me
I'm pissed because I love watching movie in a theater, but I can't stand other people's (IMO) misbehavior. Partly because of this, and also because I need to focus on violin till the end of the year, I've ended my unlimited pass subscription. I will still go to the movies though, just not as often. Pity my subscription ends at the end of this month while so many good movies are released precisely on Feb 28. Should have planned a day off haha.
Your thoughts? Anyone going to boycott Red Sparrow because of this photo?
The only things bothering me on the dress are the stripes and the darker black triangles, but I guess it just echoes the movie. Sure it would have been better with a skimpy dressed Matthias Schoenaerts
but I won't boycott Red Sparrow lol.
...I have a ...delicate...constitution for scary stories.
I think it's somewhat sexist of the writer to put the spotlight on Lawrence rather than her male co-stars. Or that spotlight on the promotion team and photographer.
And then the loud comments without the parents taking any action whatsoever to make that one kid keep quiet even after people complaining. So it is an international problem. But like you I tend to wimp out even though I'm boiling inside to make a huge fuss.
