Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Today i learned a new term, “fridging”. No, it’s not a sex move (regrettably), it’s a term used by social justice do-gooders to describe when a female character is killed off, with the sole purpose of giving the male character a reason to avenge her.

I think I have hit the wall. Folks are literally making shit up to be outraged about now. When the director said he’d never heard of the term, it we suggested he was not enlightened.

Kill me now. I think I’m ready.

It's not too late. They're are plenty of universities that offer degree programs in 'non binary gender vocabulary reconstruction' or 'binary gender based stereotypes in film'. For a measly hundred grand, you too can join the elite ranks of the humanities! Enroll today and we'll send you our book, 'Film and Patriarchy', and a bottle of pink or green hair dye!

edit: I need to look at a career in selling snake oil or in TV adverts.

Just caught Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence on ITunes. It was good, tempted to go read the book to get more of the back story.
At the end of the day, nothing beats Point of no Return when it comes to these types of movies.
 
I watched "The Jungle Book" on Netflix. The live-action version, not the Disney one. I was pretty impressed. Very deep, very dark, great CGI. Something I could watch with my kids and still appreciate.

Bibby and I tried to watch it in 3D when it was playing on base. It was a bit too scary for a then 6 year old but it looked great from the bit I saw.
 
'Coco' is on Netflix and it's a pretty cute film. The whole giant 'day of the dead' celebration is more of a southern (Mexico) thing though.
 
Took the wife to Ocean's 8 last night. It seems the reviewers have a hard on for this one because it's all girls, but the plan was no where near as fun as the Ocean's 11,12,13 flicks.

That said, no real surprises and if you need to take your honey to a chick-flick, she'll like this.
 
Rewatched "Boondock Saints" for the eleventh billionth time. If you youngsters have never seen the movie, watch it.

Agreed. Saw it as well. No need to rush out but it was good enough.
