This thread is for discussing what you are watching/watched recently. Let us know what you've seen recently whether it's old or new, good or bad, or anything in between. Obviously, movies are preferred, but feel free to post whatever you've been watching. Expect spoilers.
I watched Die Hard(I was born in the 2000s) for the first time, a few days ago. Awesome movie. I loved it. The action in the movie is nice.
Oh man, now you can watch 2 or not. It's ok but definitely not as good. Then one of the best is 3 and then stop. There are no more die hards after that despite what anyone says.
After 10 years from release, I finally watched Jonze's Her.
I'm blown away by how good the script is: there is this wonderful juxtaposition of how natural the dialogue sounds in a movie about unnatural relationships, without even once being cheap or mundane. I get why it won best screenplay.
It should have also won best original song, as The Moon Song's simple ukulele riff during credits hit me right in the feels.
I haven't seen this since it came out. I really need to revisit it. I remember liking it but I don't think I was into it as much as most people.

I think that partially might be caused by the fact that that movie was on the mouth of everyone on release. I have the same feeling on every largely publicized/discussed picture, it's like watching it with people yelling in your hears.
That's why I waited so long to watch Her.
I watched Primer (2004) yesterday and finished Tenet (2020) just now. I like both films, but prefer Primer for its smaller scope.
I think that both films are very rewatchable because the main conceit that structures both films (time travel and doubling) entices you to re-examine certain details in the earlier parts of each film.
In my opinion, though, I think that Primer plants these details more meaningfully: the line of dialogue about the attic needing pest control, the line from Robert or Philip calling Aaron a hero, Abe's change from bearded to shaven, among other examples.
I watched Primer back when it came out and couldn't really get into it. Just very slow and technical. I rewatched it again recently and loved it. I think I just needed to be in the right mood, which seems like a recurring thing for me.
I liked Tenet a lot more than most seemed to, nevermind the dialogue volume problems. I watch most things at home with subtitles anyway. But I do believe the set pieces and action scenes really make the movie. The rest is kind of boring, IMO. And I'm not a "dialogue is boring" type of person. I love slow "talky" movies, but Tenet just didn't hold me except for the action scenes, which were phenomenal.
Primer is an incredible movie. There was once a chart that tried to track the timelines on wikipedia, it was wild. Too bad it got removed years ago.
Just finished up "One Piece" live action and loved it. I've always felt the same way as Luffy, to be a "good bad guy ". Like Robbin Hood, Blade, or a converted Decepticon. Probably gonna start with all of the animation "One Piece " stuff now. That should take up much of the rest of the year....month or two anyway.
The live action is good. I especially love the locations and the fight scenes.
Good luck. There's over 1000 episodes of One Piece to look forward to! You can use the "one pace" guide to reduce the filler tho.
I'm currently watch Matrix resurrections.
It's quite wild.
I'm a matrix homer. Love all 3 movies (even though I still believe 2 and 3 could have been one single, extended movie).
I went hardcore into the allegories the film has/had and dug deeper into what the matrix is and what goes on elsewhere (watch animatrix). If you ignore some of the story telling faults (a lot of movies in the 80-90s easily fell into some tropes) then I think you'll have a lot of fun with it.
Just stop after the train scene. It was a decent matrix sequel until they started trying to be a matrix sequel.
rewatching Raising Arizona. So good!
A lot of stuff has been boring to watch lately, imo. I've been on and off the rabbit hole that is YouTube. However, ive been watching movies like the "dark knight" and others. Great movies to rewatch and enjoy while playing some live service games.
