It made sense that Amazing Amy, despite being a lunatic, allowed herself to be dominated so easily by the rednecks. She's comfortable fucking people over, but she never gets her hands dirty.

And I think some of this might be intentional, but Amazing Amy's new story would crumble apart under any scrutiny. I mean, Doogie Hauser doesn't exactly seem like the type of guy who washes his own car. This guy would have servants and squash partners and mobile phones and GPS's that would not only show that he wasn't where Amazing Amy said he was, but also reveal that she called him to come pick her up at a casino that also probably has tons of cameras. Like I said, her getting away with such a ridiculous story might be part of what the film is going for in terms of people's biases and willingness to accept anything that confirms the status quo. But I think it maybe might've better if she just killed the rednecks and framed them instead. They seemed like an easier mark seeing as they're already trashy outlaws. And she could've just said they'd kidnapped Amazing Amy in hopes of getting a ransom from her celebrity author parents and she managed to break free. That's just my thoughts. Maybe some of these characters and the transitions are handled better in the novel. I've never read it.
All of your marriages are shit.
Spandau Belly wrote:The cast is excellent. I agree with all of Caruso's observations and will repeat many of them. Fincher really knew what he wanted here and assembles a cast made up mostly of actors who either get no respect or are unknown, but they all fit perfectly with their roles here. Affleck is somewhat of an odd duck right now. He used to be a complete joke, then he directed but did not act in a movie called GONE BABY GONE (which I didn't see) and that film was respected and somehow the respect for his directing abilities on that one film has given him an odd aura of prestige that he's carried back with him into his acting career. But make no mistake about it: this is the douche that Ben Affleck was born to play. I have no idea where Affleck ends and this character begins.
Spandau Belly wrote:I did have one problem with the movie and it was prettymuch everything to do with Neil Patrick Harris's character. This whole portion of this film just felt like it was on another level of heightened reality than the rest of the film. If this was some wacky Asian thriller like I SAW THE DEVIL or AUDITION or something, I would be expecting and even disappointed if the film didn't include some convoluted theatric detour like this. But here it just felt out of place. Harris comes across like a Bond villain at times with his self-surveillance fetish and absurd level of sophistication. It was just cartoonish the way he'd lounge around in velvet robes in sets that look like they're out of decorating magazines spouting poncey bullshit.

Pretty damn good.
I found myself pretty out of the loop on this one. It's been getting a lot of hype, not just here, but everywhere it seems. I went to see it about a week ago and thought it was just okay. The action was well-choreographed and filmed, but it's like how many people can you watch get shot in the head in one movie and not start to go cross-eyed. Keanu was Keanu.
Am I missing something here? I did like the secret society of hitpersons, with their swanky hotel. That part was fun.

Their whore mother ships them off to her estranged parents house, so that she can go on some fuckcation with her new boyfriend. Unfortunaly for the kids, sometime between when mom made the plans and the kids arrival at the train station - two psycho inmates escape a local insane asylum, murder the gparents and decide to sit in for them, while the actual parents bodies are rotting in the basement. So yeah "those aren't your grandparents" was I guess supposed to be the big reveal / twist in this movie. But honestly by is point in the movie you've seen naked grandma walking around at night scratching at walls and walking around with knives, we also see pop pop with a shotgun in his mouth saying "I'm just cleaning it" and all while talking about some little white creature with red eyes that he used to see when he worked at whatever and now sees in the fields. Getting back to the aliens; nana tells this sort of weird story about aliens who spit in a lake, their spit makes people fall asleep but not die, so when people go under the water in this lake they fall asleep and drown. So these aliens have apparently dozens of bodies they are harvesting in the lake for alien thanksgiving or some shit and nana even knows the name of their planet. But it doesn't matter what the planet is called or anything that either nongrandparent says because they just turn out to be boring ass murderers, who sadly can escape an insane asylum, kill people and assume their identity without so much as a cop stopping by the house. Yet they can't manage to murder the whores bastards. In fact it's the kids who end up killing them. But they are like 10 & 13 I'm guessing.
Now I know what you're thinking: T only comes on here to spew bile every couple months, but it's not true. I just wanted to warn you guys,plus I come here and read all the time - I just rarely have time to contribute. So that said; don't waste your time or money on The Visit. Honestly one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time.
M. Night is dead to me and I will never pay for anything he touches again. Even TV ventures staring Matt Dillon, which was a whole other level of suck that I can't even get into. So if you've ever trusted anything I've said about movies - steer clear of this one. You'll thank me later.

Busted! You should totally gather up as many people as you can, tell them this is the best movie ever and buy tickets for all of them. I'm sure you'll all walk away with a sense of wonder and enjoyment. Bring the kids too, because nothing will get those young minds going like seeing popop smearing he shit filled diaper on the germappobic kids face for no apparent reason. Should be a great conversation starter about incontinence and the importance of proper diaper disposal.
Oh and I nearly forgot the young boy is a grade A rapper, so there is that little gem as well. And even better is that he ends every rap with "yeah hoo!" Which I didn't realize - from what I now understand all girls like to be called.
Seriously I think M. Night should be shot for making this film. Yeah hooo!

I watched The Big Short last night. This movie can be difficult to follow at times due to the complexity of the subject matter, however I did appreciate the comical side of looking at CDOs, hedge funds and tranche documents as it relates to class A, class B and Class C.
Seriously though, this is a fantastic movie. It's a lot of fun too. Steve Carrell is impressive in this. Christian Bale's not too shabby on the drums either. I don't know if I liked Ryan Gosling talking to the camera all the time. Only Kevin Spacey in HOC knows how to pull this off.
8.5/10

So would you describe it as "scary"?
And yeah, who is Flinchy?
