So you're saying Archer is the more accurate representation?

Shang-Chi was cool. Great way of modernizing a hero who's actual original exists in racist and exploitative territory. The MCU-ization of this property is definitely a good thing. Acting was solid, and the martial arts was as great as you'd expect. I'm a sucker for great fight choreography.
But man, was the CGI over the top. I never really got the criticism that Black Panthers final battle was too CGI filled (other than those damned Rhino's), but this definitely garners that criticism. The final battle was one huge CGI-fest, actors in blue suits with blue props on a bluescreen set kind of shit. It actively makes me like the film less. You can tell it took a toll on the film's effects budget as well. There are several quick effect shots throughout the film, just one or two second shots, where the CGI is ABYSMALL. Felt like it turned into Men in Black for a couple seconds, but just on quick shots that were never held onto for long. I was reaching for answers as to why it was so bad until the final fight took place and answered my question for me. Granted it looked cool, it was just.....so...long.....
Excited to see him in upcoming films and projects.

Watched The Hunger on HBO Max last night and absolutely loved it. So very post-punk (and not just because it starts with Peter Murphy in a club). Top-tier vampy goodness.

Okay A24 is doing a screening room for Lamb next week. But before I make this decision, do we know if it’ll be available to stream/buy shortly after? Cause I had to stay up for the Green Knight and then it wound up being available like the next day

Dune will be streaming on HBO Max on Oct. 21 starting at 6 pm ET as part of a “special preview.” That’s a full day earlier than the film’s official release date of Oct. 22, and coincides with early previews of the film that will be showing in theaters across the country on Thursday night.
However, “Dune” is only available to stream on HBO Max with the ad-free plan, and will only be streaming for 31 days from its theatrical release. So by late November, the only way to see “Dune” will be in theaters.

I have tickets for Friday and will probably end up watching it again in Big IMAX, but…this is tempting.

I’ve already got a Max subscription, so really it’s just a question of whether I want my first viewing to be in a big theater, or whether I’m impatient.

By all means, it seems like an experience for the big screen; I'd say that should be the first time. Then take it in again over the weekend.
I'm shilling hard for this movie because I wanna see a part 2 (and more) and it'd suck for it to be an incomplete adaptation.

There's been no regular PVOD announcement for Lamb, but they did the same thing with Zola where it came out the day after the screening room thing too, so I'd say odds are pretty good.Okay A24 is doing a screening room for Lamb next week.

Dune review – Denis Villeneuve’s awe-inspiring epic is a moment of triumph
Villeneuve’s take on the sci-fi classic starring Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac and Zendaya has been given room to breathe, creating a colossal spectacle

It’s the first half of the book. It’s all WB would bankroll and Villeneuve didn’t want to try to jam the entire thing into one movie, so he basically bet on himself that it would be successful enough that WB would greenlight a sequel.

I'll be watching this soon in my chronological movie journey. I'm on 1960, and have this after Psycho!

The first time I watched Psycho (or any Hitchcock movie for that matter) was in my Health class my sophomore year of high school. Not a great mental illness teaching tool but it got me really into Hitchcock. Along with Psycho, Vertigo and North By Northwest are my favorite though I don’t know if he ever made a film that wasn’t completely entertaining.

I've watched a lot of Hitchcock recently, and yeah...there hasn't been a single dud. North by Northwest was my favorite followed by Rear Window and Vertigo.

I really enjoy The Man Who Knew Too Much, you can really get wrapped up in it. Rear Window as well. If it makes your feel better they still show plenty Hitch in film school.
