One of the year's top 10!

[Stent]

Watching a Sling Blade french-fried pertayters mmmhmmm clip over and over, and at the end is a shot of the movie poster with a caption of some critic proclaiming it as a top 10 movie of the year. That got me thinking about what was a popular and/or good movie in 1996 versus today.

1996:

2023:

Not good.

I made it about 2 mins into Oppenheimer and thought "I don't have time for this shit."

@Sue Lightning is a pedophile.

Sue, comment? (I won't read it)

I made it 2 hours in Killer of the Flower Moon before realizing DiCaprio was the villain.

I still have no idea how old his character was supposed to be. Either 25 or 50.

Movies are the gayest waste of money. People need to grow up,.

You pay for movies?

You pay for movies?

Of course not. I meant the production.

My dad definitely must have had the same attitude when I was growing up because I've probably seen 10-15 movies in my life.

Haven't even seen Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Countless others.

[Turk February]

You guys ever seen Strange Days. Damn, that's a good movie.

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it: as far as chick flicks for middle aged women go, I remember thinking The First Wives Club wasn't bad. Twister is stupid. The English Patient was the most boring fucking movie ever made.

I've heard some you've never heard.

The only thing I liked about Slingblade was Dwight Yoakam's meltdown. He tosses the cripple in the wheel chair into the door (at 0:38 of video below) His line "I said get out of my house, that goes for cock suckers and retards!" is great (1:47 in video)

Every word Dwight Yoakam says in it is hilarious. My favourite line in the whole thing is one nobody would remember, it's just the way he says it. When he's telling the kid that he's gonna marry his mom he's calmly being straight with the kid but at one point he's trying to say he knows they don't get along and he's like "...You're a weird little shit, Frank, and I don't get ya."

I know so many Doyle Hargraves in real life. Dudes who are outwardly bad, mean people and it makes you squirm to see them interact with their wife or kids but the shit they say is also undeniably hilarious.

I worked with one guy who would only refer to his wife as "My retard" and he used to make her go get us breakfast. The one time she came back beaming and was like "the cashier said my makeup looked nice!" and he was like "Well the bitch must have a clown fetish or something." I was always nice to her so maybe she wouldn't kill herself, but when I heard that I laughed hard. She looked so sad.

the rest suck or i havent seen

Those all pretty much suck, too.

Guardians of the Galaxy? 3?!? We're doing this again??

Oppenheimer is just stylized historical fiction propaganda about a jew.

I hope Asteroid City is the last movie Anderson makes. His reputation is already tarnished enough. Grand Budapest was as good as it was gonna get for him.

Killers of the Flower moon was better when they called it Wind River

Anatomy of a Fall comes off as a justified murder of meanie husband by his successful wife. It's fucking dreck.

I just watched The Edge a few weeks back - a mid 90s one-and-done with Hopkins and Quickdraw Baldwin. The only woman in the cast turned out to be Hopkins' cheating asshole wife, who gets her nose rubbed in it in the end. Can we go back to that? I'm tired of seeing cunty women in every fucking movie.

Honestly, bear movies rule. I wanna see the bear movie. Again.

I thought Anderson's peak was Tenanbaums, I wish I liked Darjeeling more - you could feel him trying to break out of his static approach but not quite making it, I gave up and suffered through Grand Budapest (boring as fucking shit). Life Aquatic should've been better too - Blanchet is a horrible over-performing stage actor with a rubber-face who ruins everything she's in (that I've seen).

Twister is loony fun, I love it and love it more and more as each year passes - Hollywood seems incapable of just making something that is OTT fun with OTT characters like that that don't have to be some sort of 'social statement' - Paxton is a true everyman, its astounding he rose to the level of a lead in a film. I'd happily watch any film on the 90s list, even Birdcage cause Lane is brilliantly OTT (that cast had Hackman, Weist, Lane, Flockhart, Baranski, Azaria and Williams - a pretty 'diverse' bunch, don't see that these days).

Haven't seen a single on the 23 list and don't know much about the majority - will probably see Killers one day (Wind River? Sounds like a very farty movie) and Barbie (I hear its worth it for the Ken bits and the chick is easy on the eyes).

What didn't you like about Budapest? To me, that's easily his best one.
