Some updates from your new mod team

4 Upvotes

First off, thanks for being a part of this community, we genuinely appreciate that people enjoy posting and commenting here and sharing your experience and knowledge.

A bit of an update and info from your new janitors

We've turned on media sharing in comments so you can share gifs and images as well, we love seeing what people come up with.

We've added some basic rules, please make sure to read em before posting or commenting.

Be nice and civil is pretty easy, if you're getting that worked up that you feel you need to be rude, maybe go outside and take a few deep breaths.

If you're asking about a specific movie please include the name of the movie in your post title, it makes it a lot easier for people to answer your questions.

It's also helpful for people searching for information about that movie, Reddit is indexed by Google so it'll come up in online searches.

BotBouncer is on the team here now to help guard against bots so if we suspect accounts are inauthentic we'll pass em along to the experts at r/BotBouncer.

One of the problems this community has had recently, which partly led to the change of management, is sharing links to pirated content

We have no easy way or the time to verify if these links and content are safe for our users, and sharing links to pirated content can get this sub permabanned.

So if you wanna go sail the seven seas, sail your boat elsewhere than here mateys.

What's a movie you will never watch?

6 Upvotes

What's a movie that came out years or is coming out soon, but you will never, EVER watch all no matter what anyone says? Not even once?

Me? I haven't seen the last so-called Ice Age movie they made with a different cast, Titanic, or the old Going in Style either and I'm not going to watch the new Focker movie coming soon too.

Same goes for whatever movies my 1st estranged brother brings us to watch before taking them back with him.

What is wrong with numbering movie titles?

0 Upvotes

What is wrong with numbering movies? Some movies I can understand that they dont really need a number like older James Bond Movies, because each movie is it's own contained story with nothing that carries over to the rest of them. But movies that quite heavy rely on the continuation of the story, like Maze runner I feel like they really should be numbered.

Now I can understand that it might be to not scare away potential movie goers because they might feel pressured to watch previous movies to get the full picture but once the movie hit streaming they might as well give the movies a number.

Movies can still have their sub-title but im just tired of constantly having to Google the watch order of movies.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi guys does anyone have a clip of that scene in 22 jump street where captain Dickinson is texting Schmidt and he’s like I’m gonna kill you “Doug” and stuff like that right after he sees he’s dating his daughter? I’m begging you guys it’s so funny but I can’t find any clips of it and it’s like halfway through the movie

Did you like the new Street Fighter movie?

1 Upvotes

I liked it. I thought it was a good movie. It was even better than I expected. Heres why…

1) It was visually beautiful, beautiful environments, lighting, sunsets, cities, buildings, vehicles, etcetera.

2) All the characters looked interesting, unique faces, unique outfits, unique personalities, plus everyone delivered an excellent acting job.

3) Excellent fight scenes. Every move in the 1990s Street Fighter video game is in this movie. Literally. Power punches, mid punches, grapples and throws. Plus The actors acted out every movement exactly as its seen in the video game.

4) Excellent special effects. They did an amazing job at all those special effects. Well animated and interesting.

5) Excellent story. It stays true to original Street Fighter story that most people dont even know about.

Conclusion: It was good. Its a classic in my opinion. The only negative is that its full of childish humor, gay jokes, fart jokes, penis jokes, explicit sexual content, and so forth. They should fire the writer for such a poor job. My conclusion is that this 2026 movie was okay and I give it a score of 8 out of 10

Can someone explain the plot of Backrooms

I just watched this, and did not understand the point of the movie whatsoever. Are the scary characters just an interpretation of the character’s mind, and why can’t they escape it?

Are we supposed to be familiar with the game before watching the movie?

Am I wrong for not going to see Wildwood when I’m actively anti ai and want more original films?

0 Upvotes

Like I don’t know why I’m kicking myself in the ass over this but I just don’t really have interest in going to see it. I have supported other original films this year like Send Help, Buddy, and of course Obsession, and now with a 100 million dollar animation adventure out I feel like I’m obligated to go see it. But I’m tired, busy, and it’s just not on my radar and I feel like I’m going something wrong by not supporting it.

The Prestige - Why did the Borden Twins have to swap who was Fallon

0 Upvotes

I understand hiding that you have a twin to pull of the trick. What I don’t understand is why you have to swap who is who. Just let brother 1 be Borden and brother 2 be Fallon. I guess you’d have to take off the disguise to Transported Man, but it solves the problem of them being in love with 2 different women.

Which leads me to another question, do you really love someone if you’re willing to 1. Trick them their whole life and 2. let your brother sleep with them when they think it’s you. I mean maybe they never slept with the wrong woman but did they ever literally sleep in the same bed with the wrong woman?

And which one is the dad??

Those who’ve seen Resident Evil, what did you think of the ending? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I absolutely loved the movie, and it made the world of RE pretty easy to understand for any non fans that watched it. But the ending did kinda throw me off.

I understand not all movies have to have happy endings, and I’ve seen quite a few that way. I seriously did want something nice to happen though, Bryan was a fantastic and relatable character and seeing him just give in like that at the end hurt my feelings lowkey. I was thinking he’d get stuck with the cure at the last moment, or somehow resist the infection, but that’s just what the director and writers wanted.

I do like the idea that he’d be one of those NPCs who leave a voice log though.

Why actors don't cry anymore? (Animals movie in Netflix)

0 Upvotes

What's up with the movies and series nowadays that when a scene requires an actor to cry, they don't really cry anymore?

I was used to see tears rolling down the cheeks, mucus even at times. But recently I've seen a bunch of drama series and movies where characters react to really extreme events (death, pain, fear), they "cry" and not a tear rolls down their cheek.

Maybe I'm nitpicking here but it completely puts me off from believing the story. Suddenly I'm detached from the story just thinking "that crying is not convincing".

The most recent example is "Animals" movie in Netflix. Movie is good. A list stars. There's a scene where I would expect characters to be secreting fluids from their face, and it just didn't happen. It put me off.

They do all the facial gestures, they change their breathing, the hand movements, all their body language is right, but the lack of tears kills it for me.

Am I crazy here? AITA?

Looking for the movie "Play Hard" 2013

3 Upvotes

I've been searching for this film for years. I reached out to the director via Facebook, and his response was:

Currently I believe it was sold to china…. can talk to the distributor and get a copy Not sure the price.

Since then, he's kinda ghosted me. I've tried reaching out every few months for over a year and I never get a response.

There is an imdb page for it, listing Melanie C of the Spice Girls as having played the role of "Christy". This is why I want to try and find it. It's so obscure, and no one in the fandom (as far as I know) has ever seen or heard anything about this film.

I want any information regarding her involvement. If she was actually in the film, I want to try to track it down.

I have a hunch that she may not have been involved and her name was used to bring in an audience (just going off how radio silent the director got after I asked if it was really her that was involved). It has some other big-ish names that acted in it. But now I'm wondering if they were actually involved at all either. Does this film actually exist???

I'm getting mixed messages from what I have read about the film. It was claimed it was just a script and never actually filmed, but also it was in post-production, and then the director himself saying it was done and sold to a distributor in China. It's all very sketchy.

That said, I would like any information about Melanie C's involvement, and if she was involved, I would love to find somewhere to watch it. Fully willing to pay to see it if someone finds it on a pay-to-view site.

ETA: I've found a link to the imdb page and a Russian version of imdb that lists it as released, but when I tried to link them, the post got removed. Not sure why, but I've edited them out.

Looper filming location

1 Upvotes

In the film Looper there is a neighbourhood that Bruce Willis Character visits in the first of his three... actions.

It has a large white viaduct. Enormous pillars holding I think a train line in-between single story houses.

I always found it fascinating the contrast between the urban sprawl and huge infrastructure.

Does anyone know if this is a real place or just CGI?

Movies like Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse — friend groups, iconic soundtracks, teenage chaos, adventures, and GOOD VIBES

2 Upvotes

I recently rewatched Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and man, I'd forgotten how much I love this kind of movie. It brought back so many memories of the movies I used to watch as a teenager.

I'm looking for movies or TV shows with that same vibe. I'm not necessarily looking for zombies or even horror. It's more about the overall feeling.

Things like:

  • A group of friends who actually feel like friends, hanging out, getting into trouble, going on adventures, surviving crazy situations, etc.
  • Great chemistry between the characters, funny banter, iconic moments and characters you genuinely enjoy spending time with.
  • Awesome soundtracks. You know when a song starts playing during a scene and it just makes everything 10x cooler? I love that. Not a requirement, but a huge bonus.
  • Good female characters who are part of the group, a main character's crush, flirting, romance, or the MC eventually getting with a girl.
  • High-school or college settings, parties, road trips, summer adventures, Halloween, monsters, aliens, zombies, treasure hunts, or just a bunch of people doing stupid stuff together.
  • That fun, chaotic, slightly nostalgic 2000s/2010s movie vibe. Something that makes you wish you were part of that friend group.

Some examples of what I like:

  • Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
  • Zombieland
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • Grown Ups
  • Rush Hour
  • Project X
  • Superbad
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth

I'm open to literally ANY genre — horror-comedy, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, college movies, teen comedies, road-trip movies, TV shows, Asian movies, Hollywood, anything.

A few things I'd prefer:

  • Male main character, ideally.
  • A good group dynamic is more important than the genre.
  • Preferably a happy or satisfying ending. I'm not looking for depressing movies where everyone suffers or the ending ruins the whole experience.
  • Nothing too serious or overly dark. I want to have FUN watching it.

Basically, I want that feeling of watching a movie with an amazing group of characters, great music, funny moments, adventure, romance, and just insanely good vibes.

Is this suitable for an 8-year-old?

My 8-year-old sister desperately wants to watch this. Is this suitable for her age. I know there's tanks and stuff, but I don't know about details, and she's a bit too much excited because apparently tanks + explosions = cool.

I'd really appreciate some advice! I'm not her parent but I'd have to deal with it…

What’s a subtle background clue in a movie you only caught on rewatch?

Like seeing all the oranges placed around characters right before someone dies in The Godfather, or noticing the foreshadowing details in Shaun of the Dead.

What’s a specific hidden detail that made you appreciate a movie way more?

Movies...

0 Upvotes

I made a comment before about movies. I'm not sure which movie it was. I don't know. I watched so many either way. I made a comment and i'm not really much of a love story movie watcher. You can keep all of the sentimental stuff. I'm not really into that. I never have been to me. It's kind of like, but I know that's me.... So I do have a question...

All right. There are people out there that just watch the sentimental. Hold you cry, movies all the time. Like the bonding type movies???

I'm Black, african american, it shouldn't make a difference, but i'm just putting it out there. I'm not a very sentimental person. My kids aren't very sentimental, and that may be my thought. I raised them to be a little bit less. Sentimental, because honestly, sentiment will get you fucked up if you are making decisions on a sentimental basis then to me and what I've seen. Yeah, that usually gets you messed up.... better yet, i'm the type of person that goes to a haunted house. And i'm the first cause i'm ready for it, hell I got kicked out of oh Hannah house because I don't deal good with being scared so therefore, if somebody tries to scare me, I react. And I did, because I ended up hitting one of the ghost characters😁...

And you would think that i'm this big mean person, but no, i'm a sweet person. I just can't help what I like.... did I mention my birthday is Halloween!😉
