What was the last movie you watched?

[ScottotD]

I don't know why I'm not in love with Moonrise Kingdom like everyone else.  I really like the movies on either side of it (Mr Fox, and Grand Budapest).  If I were to rank them, I would say:

Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, Life Aquatic, Bottle Rocket, Moonrise Kingdom, Darjeeling Limited.

Moonrise and Darjeeling are the only ones that I don't watch over and over.

Aquatic and Mr Fox are the only two I've watched all the way through, tried to watch Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Royal Tenenbaums to various degrees of boredom/frustration/annoyance BUT interested to give Grand Budapest Hotel a look because apparently it's very different.

Yeah, if anything, Anderson has been doubling-down on his style with each new movie since Fox. Grand Budapest Hotel is so "Him" that's it's nearly parody.

Which would be a problem if these movies weren't also terrific, but luckily for all involved, they are.

Anderson has a certain aesthetic that he has nailed, that is unique to him, and that creates great movies. I can't imagine him ever deviating from the path he's on, and frankly, that's A-OK by me.

The only movie of his I've ever seen is Life Aquatic. I watched it because I think I had heard it was supposed to be his most "accessable" movie. There were some parts I like (particularly Bill Murray and William Dafoe), but overall I was just pretty meh on it. So I haven't tried any of his others. I think even more of that unique style would just get really annoying to me. It also doesn't help that he keeps hiring Owen Wilson, who I have never liked.

Watched Guardians of the Galaxy last night and while I don't think I was as over the moon for it as most (no pun intended), it was still tremendously fun and along with the last Captain America movie, a sign that the Marvel movies are going to remain great by making movies that both feel part of a whole but providing different genre feels for each movie (Cap was a 70's style political thriller while Guardians was a classic Star Wars/Last Starfighter feeling film.  Looking forward to next year's films (despite the unfortunate departure of Edgar Wright).

If only there was some way for you to have known it was going to be terrible!

Well, thanks for helping to ensure there is a sequel and this garbage keeps happening

I should have bought a ticket for another movie, then snuck in to TMNT.

This should be standard operating procedure for all Michael Bay "films".

Watched this with my Dad, who had never seen it before.  Still amazing and this time I figured something out that I completely blanked on before.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In the movie, they never explain where the bombings are coming from and it didn't occur to me until tonight that there aren't any.  The world is just such a piece of shit, things (specifically ducts and the wiring/machinery within) just explode.  Henry Tuttle isn't a revolutionary, really, he just wants to save lives.

Anyway, this is easily the best of Terry Gilliam's films and despite the dark and cynical worldview, it is a beautiful and smart movie.

12 Angry Men (1957) Never heard of it, dad suggested it, I loved it.
