Just started Sicario: Day of the Soldado
I never saw the first Sicario. Obviously, folks love that one. How is the sequel?
They’re both great, but fairly different in execution. The first one is an incredibly tense, smart film. Blunt does the best work to date, and there’s a…structural thing…that happens…that is very unconventional for a mass marketed movie that is so great.
The second one is right down the middle in terms of its mechanics: nothing particularly challenging or novel in the way the story is told. But it’s a great, dark continuation of the first story and I’m glad it exists.

Right on.
I'll have to check out both soon. Feels like good timing, too.

Just got out of 80 for Brady. Goddamn I hate Tom Brady and the Patriots. I think we were the youngest people there. Those old people clapped all through it and I’ve never heard such applause at the end of a movie in my life. Those old folks had one helluva good time, that’s for sure.

Amazing. Out of this world. Cant believe Chazelle actually did this movie with such a huge budget. I dont think his career will recover from this, but goddamn what a fucking great, excessive movie.
Margot Robbie is a star and i enjoyed Tobey Maguire scene so much.
It kind of tapered off slightly for me towards the end, but I really loved that final scene.

That Jean Smart monologue was also a highlight.
yeah the first half is way better but the Maguire scene and that Jean Smart moment were so fucking good. I did love the montage with all the scenes of different movies and moments, but it seemed a bit much yeah.
Again, the movie is excessive but at the same time its so well crafted i was in love from the first minute.
Im curious about how Chazelle is going to recover from this. I recently did a podcast were we talked about Cimino and Heaven´s Gate, and it seems this could be another of those stories.

The Heartbreak kid. I respect the Farrelly brothers quite a bit. It’s not easy to have so many clever jokes packed in a short movie, as stupid and vulgar as they can be

I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.
I think i'm the only one here who didn't like Babylon
here? maybe.
But outside this little island full of arty pantsy people the movie bombed big time. Chazzelle could be finished. The marketing of this movie was hilariously bad.

Here, yes. And I enjoy my fair share of artsy fartsy in pantsy works, but this…hard no.
