Talk About Movies: Part 4
Somehow threads merged, so here's part 4 of our ongoing movie discussion.
I dug the hell out of Backrooms. It felt like a horror come to life and put on the big screen.
I have a lot of dreams/nightmares where I'm traveling, or walking through buildings and aspects of this is what it feels like. I was completely immersed and couldn't wait for the story to unfold. Loved it from start to finish. I'm super excited for the new wave of young horror filmmakers entering the space.
I'm glad there's an IMAX theater near me that shows 70mm films.

i think the oddyssey will be horrible, but going to see it nonetheless, considering watching troy at home a day or two before first
The Thin Red Line is my all-time favorite film. I'll never forget being on an island when I caught it theatrically with some friends, my friends were eager to leave and I refused. Packed theater and dozens of people walked out. I was in disbelief as I was drawn in and invested in every character. My jaw was on the floor at the shots, and I'll never forget the juxtaposition of t
one of my favorite films of all time - but almost everyone i introduce it to hates it
tried watching it with several gfs, not once did we finish
Just saw the Odyssey - solid enough first 2 hours apart from dialogue and casting. It is definitely as bad as it was being suggested. Last 30 mins is almost comical. Obvious Hollywood ending. Probably Nolan's 2nd worst film but could be his worst if not for the action scenes.

I respect your opinion bro, but it is pretty much universal critical and audience acclaim!

Thats because it SUCKS! I know everybody here loves it but I found it incredibly boring and annoying. I don't get the allure? When I saw it in the theater there were about 12 people there. 6 or 7 of those walked out. I envyed them but stayed to the end. I was with my WWII veteran father who would watch any and all WWII content ever made. As we walked out he said "what the hell was that?"
IMO all the sturm und drang over loopy & elly was a false flag to distract from

Like F1, I would happily pay $30 to watch an abridged version of Odyssey in an IMAX theater.
“The film is mostly sexless and bereft of jokes”
But it apparently has plenty of wink/nods to you know whoooo ooooow!

I like to get on my high horse about why this flick sucks, but I think your dad had the most concise vision.
Backrooms (2026)
I quite liked the first hour of this but then it kinda fell apart and I found its conclusion kinda underwhelming and unsatisfactory. I didn't outright dislike it overall but just felt it coulda been better. In terms of hyped films, I much preferred Obsession
The Furious - threadbare plot, awkward dubbing, insane martial arts action. The fight scenes are long and complex yet easy to follow, because they're so cleanly choreographed and shot.
