Been seeing good reviews for Oxygen.

Reminds me a lot of Buried with Ryan Reynolds from that trailer.

Calling it now. She's a clone. Is this Aja's first French film since "Haute Tension"?

They all look very woke for me.
I'm sorry netflix went down the woke route, I probably wont review my subscription

Fysh · 12-05-2021 06:55PM

Yep, "what if Superman was evil?" is definitely jumping on the woke bandwagon

The sons of Sam, is it any good? Worth watching?

I am 30 minutes in to the first episode and finding it meh. Does it get better?

The worst padded out non story in televisual history. Could have been condensed into a half hour low quality YouTube video. Vomit.

You'll probably have to cancel your Prime subscription as well. They have the Underground Railroad series coming tomorrow which features a load of black slaves in it.

sydthebeat · 13-05-2021 07:28AM

Brightburn is a decent watch.

Its one of those "could have been great" ideas but never really push the boundary far enough into "evil little fcuker"

Hercule Poirot · 13-05-2021 07:41AM

Watched MIB: International last night - not brilliant, the only good thing about it was that little Pawny character and even he got a little irritating towards the end. It was a predictable mess of a film.

Sounds like Mic might enjoy Magic Mike.

I second that endorsement.
Some very gross death scenes too.
They messed up with the editing on this film though. It could have been a phenomenal twist if they left his origins till 1 hour into the movie as a later reveal. Would have been 10/10.

As is 7.5/10.

PS
It’s amazing that this film was shot on only a 7 million budget considering the effects and Elizabeth Banks casting .

On the contrary. One of the most unwoke movies I’ve seen in modern times.

Mr Crispy · 13-05-2021 03:38PM

Bloody Disgusting have new stills from the Kevin Smith He-man reboot, "Masters of the Universe: Revelation".

I have to say, that's some cast they've assembled;

Mark Hamill as Skeletor
Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn
Chris Wood as Prince Adam / He-Man
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela
Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms
Stephen Root as Cringer
Diedrich Bader as King Randor / Trap Jaw
Griffin Newman as Orko
Tiffany Smith as Andra
Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops
Alan Oppenheimer as Moss Man
Susan Eisenberg as Sorceress
Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena
Justin Long as Roboto
Jason Mewes as Stinkor
Phil LaMarr as He-Ro
Tony Todd as Scare Glow
Cree Summer as Priestess
Kevin Michael Richardson as Beast Man
Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man
Harley Quinn Smith as Ileena

The first five episodes drop July 23rd.

The Raging Bile Duct · 13-05-2021 03:44PM

God, I can't believe they've gone and made He-Man woke as well... He's probably called They-Man now!!!

pixelburp · 13-05-2021 03:52PM

Who is this going to be aimed at? The She-Ra reboot seemed like a conscious attempt to appeal to new generations with its own spin on the original show (or so I believed, I never actually watched it) - whereas this looks aesthetically a lot more faithful.

The storytelling on SheRa was really brilliant. I think a lot of people probably saw the redesign and cast if off as something for a younger audience but it was a really great series and surprisingly dark at times. But yeah, this looks very faithful to the original and as such I'm assuming it's aimed at the same people who were fans of that.

I'd say they are going for nostalgia, which let's face it is the only reason he man appeals to anyone anynore. I'll definitely give it a watch anyway :pac:

I dont to watch movies that feel like propaganda for woke activism.
Plenty of non straight, not white, not males feel the same way.
Funny how you immediately pulled up the usual white straight male narrative
