Yes, it is Thursday but I'm seeing Us tomorrow evening so I will probably be too tired/scared to do anything after it, so enjoy early RF!
Here is absolutely awful first poster for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. What the hell? How do you release THIS as the first poster? Pitt looks like he died and someone stuffed him and DiCaprio looks like he is posing for a bunch of 20 year old models he is about to choose from and bring to his yacht.
The one with Margot Robbieis even worse. Why would you photoshop Margot Robbie? That's just deranged! What is even more hilarious is that after that mess of an edit she looks even less like Sharon Tate.
It's actually impressive how much they fucked those posters up. They have this cast, they have the story set in the year 1969 back when everything looked so retro and cinematic and they release this trash? I think this film is in poor taste to begin with but to release this as first promo material is just outrageously lazy and if I were looking forward to this movie I would be put off by this.
Here's the teaser. This look very fun. Unless Tarantino pulls 'alternate turn of events' again then this is certainly not the tone that is right. How good does Pitt look, though? Wow! It's ridiculous he plays stuntman for DiCaprio's character and not the other way around though I suppose Leo is too chubby to pull this off.
Here's new trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3 with a glorious throwback to The Matrix.
Somewhere Chris Hemsworth is nodding with approval (1,2). We really do need Carol and Valkyrie interacting with each other. Perhaps with Thor cheering in the background? Oh please do that Marvel, it would be so cute!
Florence PughjoinedBlack Widow solo movie. Scarlett Johansson is gonna look even worse next to her.
Trailer for Stranger Things 3andThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina part 2.
Trailer for Lucy in the Sky which is apparently loosely based on the story of this woman. Well...that is one hell of a story. I'd probably attempt to kidnap a bitch over Jon Hamm too.
Do yourself a favor and check those threads out! (1,2)
I started the weekend by rewatching Killer Joe and Someone Like You. I haven't seen Killer Joe in years so it was due for rewatch. This is still one of the funniest moments ever:
And Someone Like You is just so cute and Hugh Jackman is dreamy in that. I could watch this movie every week and never get bored.
Then Netflix lured me to watch I Am a Pretty Thing that Lives in the House. I checked out letterboxd and it had pretty good reviews and it had Ruth Wilson in lead role and I like her a lot. Oh God, what a piece of trash this movie was. There were some interesting shots in there but overall that film was basically 3 minutes of a story stretched to 90 minutes-long movie.
I watched The Villainess which was good but I'm not sure I understood everything in this film. It was a Korean action movie so it was pretty crazy. Kim Ok-bin's performance in Thirst is one of my all time favorites so it was awesome to see her again and she was amazing. The film also looked fantastic and the stunts were something that even Tom Cruise would appreciate.
Then I saw Her Smell. The first 3/5 of this movie was like mother!. It just followed Elizabeth Moss' character as she was high on God knows what and relentlessly ranting. It was exhausting. Not bad, but exhausting. The film overall was pretty good and the acting was terrific. I just hope that witch didn't lure sweet Dan Stevens to Scientology. Amber Heard was also in the movie serving absolute looks.
So I finally saw Triple Frontier. The script was beyond dumb. Why didn't those morons just bring 2 helicopters? And that woman didn't even sleep with Oscar's character? What??
They should have taken all that money out of the bags in the helicopter and bang right there, on the pile of cash. That's what I would do.
Anyways...
Still, it was much better than most of Netflix movies, but let's face it it's a very low bar.
Dude, Ben Affleck's looks have completely gone to hell. His face is now a bloated, featureless mess. No wonder that mule didn't want to hang around him any longer.
The best thing about this movie is Oscar promoting it and sporting this beard:
Oh, my lady parts.
I also rewatched Thor: Ragnarok.
For reasons.
*coos*
*faints*
After that on Sunday it was purely MCU day and I rewatched both parts of Guardians of the Galaxy. I actually like the second movie more than the first one. It had so much heart and baby Groot is almost as adorable as Thor. It goes Thor, Baby Groot and then Goose. Can we get that team-up, please?
And then I rewatched the first two Thor movies. I saw so much Thor last weekend I was barely functioning. Every time he kissed Jane's hand I was close to pass out.
On Monday I rewatched Age of Ultron which is still the worst Marvel movie but at least Chris looks super hot in it.
And then I checked out War World Z on Netflix. That had a surprisingly gorgeous score. Pitt was good in it but the film was so ridiculous. That whole thing with him injecting himself with random pathogens to be invisible to zombies was like something Jason Statham's character in Spy would do.
I still had some time to kill because work was slow so I did all my after work studying in the office so I checked out that Netflix documentary about Ted Bundy. That was a fascinating watch. Also scary because I'd totally fall for some of this dude's ploys. The director of the documentary series is actually the guy behind Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile so he definitely knows the subject well. Can Netflix just release this damn movie already? Here's new poster --- >
So 13 movies and one series in 7 days. To be fair most of those were during the weekend when I just lie in bed not entirely conscious after work week and just watch one by one. I should really move my ass and start writing some posts for this site instead of just injecting Hemsworth in my eyeballs.
Oh God there is more to that adorable feeding the cute animal situation from last week. That pose!
