I think special interests each demanding that their population or focus by excluded entirely from comedy is small minded and ridiculous Comedy has to hit the parts of life that make us uncomfortable. The key, for me, is does the joke say "rape is funny" or does it point out something else. Chappelle was definitely not saying that rape is funny. He set up a fake super hero story as a metaphor for reconciling the good and bad of Bill Cosby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ehh... Kind of. I saw his new Netflix shows. Funnier than when I saw him live. I have never been a big fan of his. Sometimes he is funny, most times, he is just a caricature. One of the reasons that I have never liked Dane Cook, or Andy Kaufman. Ehh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 OK, my fault, but let's move back to movies recently seen. I don't want to hijack the thread. Sorry everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you listen to Five Finger Death Punch. A corporate boy-band of caricatures if there ever was one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Last Year At Marienbad (B&W, French, 1961). Slow-paced and deliberate, revolving around the concept of memory and it's degradation over time. As the story unfolds, questions, motives, and confusion push the mystery further. Very much art-house with great cinematography. A little longer than it should have been time-wise, but worth the unique experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A damn fine horror flick, unconventional and bleak. Recommended...but it's not for everyone. What did you think of the ending?...And did you figure out who everyone was in the movie? Spoiler Emma Roberts crying at the end when she realizes she can't recapture having the devil/demon possess her again by returning to the school was kinda freaky...might be the first movie where the victim of a possession, instead of feeling relief at the demon being banished, instead wants the devil to return to her body.

I did! And the ending was truly chilling. Finally got around to watching Rogue One. Truly a kick-ass movie. Last 30-40 minutes are right up there with anything in the franchise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Saw "Ghost in the Shell" over the weekend. Just another C movie. Average. It was a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I watched, "The Accountant" (2016). This would have been intriguing as a Netflix miniseries... alas I couldn't stop think that Ben Affleck was mashed up into a role that was Bourne/Will Hunting. B- for the movie... an F for the concept because there was so much packed into this movie. Season 1 you could do an origins movie with whatever triggered him first, season 2 you could focus on the crime family/Treasury Dept link, and tell more of the story with his brother. What a waste of a fun little concept... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw GITS last weekend and I'm kind of mixed on it too. The iconic scenes were done well and their way of creating a backstory and expanding on an origin was fairly interesting. Batou grew on me too. Speaking of the iconic shots, it was refreshing to see those scenes used in different places and not in their original order. I will say this after watching it - casting Johansson was indeed pointless and needless whitewashing. Yes, I said it. There aren't many opportunities in American cinema to have an Asian female lead (if there are any at all) but this was one. I mean seriously, when else if not this film?

CRobi21 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Office Christmas Party. Garbage. Had some potential but... Even Kate McKennon, who always cracks me up, only made me chuckle once or twice. C-/D+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Kong: Skull Island Decent, wasn't blown away. I appreciate there was plenty of Kong, early and often. John C. Reilly had the only human character that was interesting. I was trying to figure out though why a giant male gorilla has no twig and berries. How did the Kongs reproduce?

Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Based on the way I read the last two posts, I can only assume that his twig and berries were shown in the post credits scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have a feeling we might get a few quick scenes, if that. I'm hearing a trailer will drop on Friday at Star Wars Celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
