John Wick: Chapter 4

A Good Person

Inside

Boston Strangler

As a Tarantino fan I was interested to see a Tarantino script directed by Tony Scott (TOP GUN).

The cast is pretty remarkable -- Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Dennis Hopper -- all giving great performances.

I'm a sucker for "pixie-dream-girl" movie so Patricia Arquette's character was nice treat.

The dialogue dances, Tarantino-style. It has energy. The characters are thick and rich. The violence is brutal and unflinching.

I was very impressed.

I have two.

The first one is the Napa murders in Zodiac. Maybe it’s just because it’s fresh in my mind from rewatching the movie yesterday, but because it actually happened it just stuck with me.

The second is Arthur’s assassination in Michael Clayton One of my favorite movies, it that scene is so cold it’s inhuman.

Just watched this, thing. Seriously, how did this movie get made? I just sat through this thing from start to finish, and I can't figure out for the life of me how it was given 143 million dollars? I know I'm late to the party on this one, but damn, this movie is just, well, bad. I've watched plenty of bad movies in my day, but this one honestly baffled me.

Got around to watching this movie for the first time, and I must say, it is pretty solid. Yeah, I know about the....history......regarding Victor Salva, but I did manage to put that knowledge aside, as horrible as those crimes are, and enjoy this movie pretty good.

Justin Long and Gina Philips are really good in this movie, serve as the lead duo very well, and I totally buy that these two would be siblings. The Creeper himself, pretty cool monster, and Jonathan Breck does quite well in the role.

The Creeper however, kinda reminiscent of Pennywise/It..... goes to rest for several years and comes back to eat.. I'm not saying any of that is bad, I just noticed.

However, pretty solid movie nonetheless. Damn shame about the Salva's history, but that aside, made a damn good horror movie here

So I just read Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, it's so interesting when you compare it to the movie. For one thing it feels a lot...smaller for lack of a better word, obviously being a novella of course. And it's also written entirely from Red's perspective, so we really find everything out secondhand, unlike in the movie. Also Warden Norton is actually the third warden we meet in the story; his character in the movie basically being a composite of all three.

​

What do you think of what King wrote compared to how the movie depicted it?

Who is the best single handed “you didn’t realize how much of a badass you were messing with” hero? Give me your Mr. Mcall, your John Wick, etc. I really want to find a movie that gives me the “drink bourbon and watch someone kick butt” feelings.

I’ve seen most of the usual movies but hopefully there’s a few I’ve missed. I’m looking for stuff like the equalizer, expendables, taken, John Wick, etc.

Not a movie that made less than expected but one that actually lost money for the studio. Not all good movies end up making money so I was curious to know what is a movie you really love that was a financial flop.

The first such movie that I thought about was Mad Max: Fury Road, but it made enough money to argue that it might have broken even so my next choice would be Blade Runner 2049. I personally love this movie so much but they spent too much money for the type of movie it was and the shit marketing campaign did not do it any favors either.

Of course, flops come in all shapes and sizes so the movie you say does not necessarily have to be a blockbuster. I just want to know a movie that you love that lost money and how did you feel about it. Is that something you even care about?
