Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Democracy is a myth
Hunterrr sure comes right on mind as its still fresh in memory.
As this debate came up, I gave this a thought.
I'm not exactly sure what I can call a sex comedy. How much comedy and how much sex?
Hollywood was experimenting in this genre for a long time and I hated most of them.
There were couple of movies which had good comedy and a good mixture of 'nudity' too. These scenes were not eye-candy rather contributed to story arch of the movie.
For bollywood this genre is totally new as our censor board is coming to adult age now. They are passing on any movie with enough skin show and double meaning jokes as sex-comedy.
Most of the time these comedy movies can be easily considered under slapstick-comedy.
What do you say?

I watched these.
Don Jon (2013) - not comedy but good story
Sleeping With Other People (2015) - little comedy and love story.
Love (2015)
Pleasure or Pain (2013) - ........
Sex Tape*(2014)
Jan Dara (2001) & Jan Dara: The Finale (2013) - little comedy and ok story
Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Dangerous Addiction (2015)
American pie is not that good in comedy.
If you remember the incident happened Mumbai, AIB Roast.
Even that comedy wasn't entertaining.
Those who gets insulted they laugh, and the rosters, and some fans.

I can understand & also agree with you on this. You might be wondering why I am posting so late. Well I think you might have seen the trailer of a stupid film with overacting called " dishoom". Now they released an Item song "janeman aah" in youtube whose lyrics are what to say are just garbage. Even public were bashing the song in the comment section it had 7k likes & around 6.5k dislikes. Then suddenly after an hour it got 22k likes & around 10.3k dislikes!! However the comment section was still filled with dislike comments.
How is that possible? Well these shameless chu#$as not only purchase awards & distribute them amongst themselves they must have purchased some companies too to increase the likes in their youtube videos whenever the situation goes against them.

Try Spider Forest and Predestination. Will appeal to you if you liked Triangle.

I think it does. Slapstick comedy always dealt with broad and forced humor. Putting people in awkward situations and conducting outrageous actions which may never arise in normal day-to-day life.
These sex-comedies also create such situations but rather using physical humor (or more Physical?!) use skin show and double meaning jokes or visuals.

I Know and even I mentioned that. In sex-comedies such slap-stick comic situations arise most of the time and they happen to center around sex/nudity

What you have to pay for these film festivals screen?? Are these similar like single screen, multiscreen theatres or mall?? Please give me some info and difference between these festival screening and normal theatres.
I never attended any movie festival. Kala Ghoda festival is well known here Mumbai. But didn't got a chance to visit.

well, various parties, incl bengal govt periodically arrange film festivals in kolkata, on yearly basis and/or when they feel like. mostly they arrange it at one of our heritage movie theatre called "nandan". it has 2 screens, one of which is pretty big (even though the seating facility sux).
but during kolkata international festival (not very big at budget or celebration, but they show a lot of rare and art films which are unavailable in country otherwise) they book multiple theatres, and filmwise showtimes are also declared here. sometimes you will have to collect passes, sometimes it's just free, & u will have to go there @ 6:00 am to stand in a queue for a film thats gonna be shown at 10:00 am.
when a film festival is declared, entry details are also declared, otherwise it can also be known by visiting the nandan ticket counter itself.
p.s. foreign consul generals are very active at kolkata, they often organize stuff, few months ago they also arranged japanese film festival. recently, 2 weeks ago there was chinese dragon boat festival arranged @ rabindra sarovar (went there, missed the boat race but saw the martial art & puppet show).

Batman vs superman : dawn of justice
Yes maybe a bit boring due to the editing part.I too was bored towards the middle. Yes there maybe some cliched or meaningless scenario too But it can be overlooked. But in no way this movie is as bad as some people say it is. Overall its a decent one time watch.

I can't explain it, you can google it for Batman v Superman, if you asking specially for this movie. But most of the times you see Blu-ray extended or r-rated have more mins hrs.
Some are saying that Batman v Superman Blu-ray R-rated cut will be more than extended about 3hr 20min long and will release in this month. That Hobbit Trilogy Blu-ray extended version is more than 3hr 30min long. You can check on any Blu-ray site (buying-selling).
Why such difference??? Don't know why?? But sometimes theatre going people does not want sit for that long and for those theatre goers movie is for entertainment. And perfect cinema lovers, critics, want to make career in film industry watch these extended, r-rated, extras.
Other than that don't know much.
P.S. - Zack's (director of BvS) watchmen extended version was too boring because of that comic animation movie inside watchmen movie. boy came to bookstall for reading that same comic over and over again, i just fast forwarded it when that animation part came. I didn't find any connection for that animation and watchmen story.
Moral of the story - sometimes it gets boring.

Extended. Not worth it if you ask me. Both are same & does not affect the story in any way.
Bunny lake is missing.
Must watch. Even I couldn't guess the ending. Very very well directed.
