Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Watched Sicario 2 this past weekend. It's a little slow to start compared to the first but the last 30 minutes is well worth the build up.

Mod Edit -

Go easy on spoilers for current films please.

POST

Does anyone else that has not seen #2 see this post as a spoiler? Am I about to mis-rage/overreact? Or is this a green light for full-on blue falcon spoiler rage territory?

ETA: I say this because the trailers lead us to believe this is their showdown.

OK, how the hell did they make Aquaman look cool?
Add a redhead of course, LOL. Oh @racing_kitty, calling the kitteh.

The Queen ain't bad looking either.....but, I have to say, the trailer looks pretty good.....better than I expected.

I LOVE Godzilla and the Toho monsters. Just got a quote on a full back tat of Cthulu and Godzilla fighting. That last shot of The King with the F35s backing him up made he hard as a rock... don’t judge me...

 

[AWP]

... don’t judge me...

Oh, we passed that point years ago....

 

[Blizzard]

Just watched I, Tonya...LOL...fan-fucking-tastic!

New Mission Impossible getting crazy good reviews....

Tom Cruise's new 'Mission: Impossible' is one of the series' best

In order to sneak into a Paris nightclub, Hunt performs a HALO jump (high-altitude, low-open), a move used by military personnel to infiltrate hostile areas. It means jumping from a plane at an altitude of 25,000 feet and not popping the chute until he’s under 2,000 feet. Why he does this rather than take a taxi is not logically defensible. But Cruise wanted to make that crazy jump, and he did it 106 times until they shot it exactly the way it needed to be. He’s the first actor to have done it on camera.

Yeah, no. Patrick Swayze did his own aerial scenes for Point Break and dumping below 2 grand...I know several guys who do it, all of them are high time jumpers, and you have to be Johnny-on-the-spot with any malfunctions.

Good bit of Scientology/ movie studio promo material though.

I keep hearing how good MI is, and as for the skydiving? I mean, it is pretty cool for Cruise to do it himself.

He's cemented his role as my second favorite Cruise, just a hair behind Carter.

 

[AWP]

Thinking about it, he may be the first actor to do the altitude (above 15k) on camera, but not his own scenes. I saw one website state that Swayze had to stop jumping for insurance purposes and he was only allowed to film that one jump in PB. Problem is, that isn't true and he was still jumping as of '98.

 

[SpitfireV]

Wouldn't that be insurance purposes for that movie?

I really liked this one. It was hard to tell who was good or bad and who was on the right side of Freedom with Hunt!!! CIA, MI.6, IMF, nah dawg.....you gotta watch it to find out.......

 

[AWP]

Ethan only went into the IMF because of his older brother. Mike receives all of the attention and the IMF is Ethan's way of coping.

 

[SpitfireV]

That one was filmed here, in one of the better parts of the world (Queenstown).

Also, fucking expensive there.
