Did you seriously just say the voice acting is bad? Did you ACTUALLY just say that people like Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, John Oliver, and James Earl Jones are *bad* voice actors?
Hell, one of the voice actors is THE SAME.

Wouldn't say *bad*, just not as good because the roles weren't like, y'know, made for them in mind, rather than "what would look good on the poster"

I just watched Onces upon a time in Hollywood.

It is a weird movie,at first its looks like it was gonna be a artistic and crude view on the hollywood of the 70´s but it seems that Tarantino couldn´t control his hate for the hippys any longer and added a unecesary extra 20 minutes of killing hippys.

I would think that but all the elements of the brutal finale were included little by little on the movie, so the only logical conclusion is that Tarantino planned all along that his realistic story about Hollywood ended in a brutal fight that wouldn´t be out of place in Kill Bill.

It was just weird, i liked some characters, the double was plane but the western actor was pretty good, there was way too many unecesary characters but i liked how it made a western style build up in the hippy town just to end it withouth climax.

Also i hated how Bruce Lee was protayed, Bruce Lee was arrogant but he wasn´t that much of a asshole and he was realistic, he idolized Muhamend Ali and said that Ali would destroy him in a fight, he also wasn´t a showy fighter that only did flashy moves, there is footage on him sparring he was a precise fighter with ideas about mixing Martial arts that were 20 years foward to his time.Fortunatly it was a short cameo but it really angered me

I repeat myself a lot but this is my primary feeling about the movie, it was weird

Well I believe the ending thing wasn't so much from a hatred of hippys but more a hatred of said people that got destroyed. As Tarantino has a great love for that era of Hollywood and Hollywood in general, and that event that happened in the real world can be seen as a turning point that really kicked off a lot of terrible shit.

Or it was just a weird little form of alternate history much like the ending of Inglorious Basterds. Its just Tarantino having some fun with stuff lol

Ari Aster is a very sick fuck and I hope he keeps getting funding so I can participate in his messed up therapy sessions.

i still gotta watch Hurtdairy, if that’s one of the things you’re referring to when you say ‘therapy sessions’ and ‘sick fuck’. Midsommar wasn’t, like.....that twisted, though. pretty dark, yeah, but there’s way more disturbing shit out there.

that kill in the book room makes me cringe whenever i think about it, though. yicchh

Watched Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

I liked it. It wasn't the best horror movie, but it wasn't bad. I loved reading the book as a kid so I liked seeing the homages to all the stories. Plus del Toro always provides excellent monster designs.

it was bad imo. the bad camerawork and editing that ruins the first death scene, the wooden and goofy acting (Chuck in the red room, jesus christ), the flat characters, that fucking awful fakeout monster death with the Jangly Man where he then pops up in the foreground for a jumpscare, LOOKING AT THE CAMERA, and plenty more. the adaptive choices were good and the monster designs were really faithful to the originals, and there are a few good scenes and moments, but...blecch

I agree. It didn't feel quite as strong as the first, but was definitely a very good movie. My only complaint was the flashbacks were hard to place in the timeline, some of them were clearly post "First It Fight" and some were just before the fight, showing us bits of the Loser's interactions we didn't get to see in the first movie. And it wasn't always easy to tell which was which. Other than that, it was probably as good an adaption of the story as we can get on the big screen. It was pretty obvious they were gonna have to cut the God Turtle cuz that would be very hard to sell in a modern movie.

Yeah, can agree on this. Not without its faults but the ambition on display in this is amazing, especially for a mainstream one.
