Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Margin Call from way back in 2011, re-released yesterday on Netflix. Ensemble cast movie following a fictionalized financial firm at the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis. Kind of tense, well done, 6-8 people so no one disappears in the background. 70-80% of the movie is in a boardroom or company offices, but the story is engaging.

4 out of 5 spreadsheets you explain to me in English.

 
The Rip with Ben Damon and Matt Affleck. A group of cops hit a house and find beaucoup ducats inside. The rest is an "are they dirty or not" heist plot we've probably seen before.

Anyway, casting was alright, story wasn't bad, twists were small but entertaining. One aside that explains some of the movie was an interview with Matt Damon. In it he explained that Netflix wanted to things: a major set piece action sequence in the first 5 minutes and reiterating the plot 3+ times because of phones. It seems people spend so much time on their phones while "watching" movies that Netflix wanted to emphasize the plot over and over so the viewers will catch at least one of the iterations. It is noticeable in the movie and I can tell Damon was irritated to pissed with the requirement.

6-6.5-ish out of 10 Wilburs.
I came back to this just to say that you're high AF. This is an 8+, you nancy.
