What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

I saw IT.

It... was okay. Honestly I don't understand the praise for Pennywise's actor's portrayal. 90% of his character was done in CGI. Granted, his brief conversations with his victims were creepy af (especially his first appearance) and his utilization of facial gestures were definitely worth noting but all in all... dude, most of your performance was done with a computer. And like the original and literally every other Stephen King movie adaptation IT dragged on a little too long and the occasional lulls that panned out character backgrounds were largely dull. Honestly, I thought the child actors were better. I'm not dissing Bill Skarsgård's acting abilities,I haven't seen him (or any of his family's) performances in other works of cinema... but really, hand the praise to the kids. I'm sure they had a riot being able to use profanity so vigorously on camera.

Took my friends to see Baby Driver for a second time the other night. So good. I have so much respect for Edgar Wright.

The Worlds End > Shaun Of The Dead > Baby Driver > Hot Fuzz > Scott Pilgrim

I've literally never seen anyone say that the World's End is Wright's best film before.

Even if a scene didn't make sense if you looked at it through the lense of "Hey yo that blonde bitch is an emotional vampire, dude," something about something made sense.

Lo and behold the blonde bitch was ****ing crazy. Felt vindicated.

Congratulations.

Absolutely his best film hands down. One of my favorites. No debate.

I like The Worlds End as much as the next guy but Hot Fuzz is really my fave out of those five.

I think we all agree his films are fantastic, each one. But The World's End though c'mon.
