wait, what? I saw a trailer for this movie a few months ago (which a lot of people discourage now since it actually reveals a lot) but even with that in mind, I don’t think I got any info on the main kid having a psychic sister trying to find him. Just the fact there’s a spooky phone he uses to talk to the Killer’s previous victims.
Well that’s really terrible marketing then. The nature of the Black Phone sounds cool on paper, but if it’s really a much later movie reveal, why the hell would they reveal that in trailers and not the earlier psychic thing, more integral to the plot?
Really terrible, I thought it was some sort of Black Mirror spin-off film, lime a techno thriller.
I strongly disagree with this. While it’s a kids movie. It very much has a lot of adult themes that children won’t pick up on.

imo shrek isnt a movie made for children, its a move made for all ages. there’s obviously movies made for children, like most of the recent stuff (garbage) from illumination but most animation companies strive to make movies that any age can enjoy. not just children

Personally, I’m pretty sure Shrek is intended for adults. Not that only adults can watch it, but that’s who it’s made for. People who has grown up knowing these fairytales as kids, so that now they will get the joke when this parody pokes fun at them.
Caught The Dark Knight on tv last night. It had been a few years since I’d seen it but I always hold it up on this pedestal of superhero and Batman movies and it absolutely still belongs there. Some superhero films have come close (though they could take some notes on villains and how much danger the entire world needs to be in) and this viewing just reinforced my opinions about how The Batman stacks up against it. However, I will add the caveat that the more recent film is like a comic book come to life while this (and the rest of the Nolan Trilogy) are like Batman in real life.
Brief aside, I will give that movie the edge in depiction of Gotham and Pattinson as Batman. Bale is phenomenal as Bruce Wayne (no direct comparison here) but Pattinson is incredible in the suit, just on presence alone.
Obviously, you have the Heath Ledger Joker but you’ve also got Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal acting out of their minds; just because Ledger smashed the charts doesn’t mean the rest of them weren’t also off the charts. In fact, the list of talent he’s overshadowing is testament to how out of this world the cast is. And that’s just the cast and performances, saying nothing about the direction, cinematography, effects (practical or two face cgi, which still holds up), score, script and everything is beautiful to watch (much more so than a certain film about blue aliens that’s about to get the first of a thousand sequels, proving once again that we’re in the darkest timeline).
Anyway, if you couldn’t tell, I really love this movie; it’s almost a shame that Ledger was so good because everything is firing on all cylinders and everyone’s so focused on him that it opens the door for the cynics (and there’s always cynics because people can’t just enjoy shit and we aren’t allowed to have nice things) to claim he’s carrying the movie. 
Dare I say it’s a masterpiece? 
10/10

This is particularly significant, since I’ve always maintained that The Dark Knight isn’t about Batman’s battle with The Joker, but rather, it’s all about Harvey’s descent from hero to villain, his speech in the restaurant being not only prophetic but also a synopsis of the film itself. The fact that anyone hardly talks about Eckhart’s Dent this many years after, despite being essentially the principle character, is a testament to what Ledger accomplished in that makeup.

Joker basically tells Batman as much during their final encounter, were all so in awe of Ledger we all forget that not only does Two Face close us out but also the he’s “two face” the whole time even if he only looks like him for the last act.
“Ha! Ha! Fast planes go ‘brrrr!’ And ‘splosions go ‘‘Murica!’”
Probably.
Which probably makes Maverick just “ Fast planes go ‘brrrr!’ And ‘splosions go ‘‘Murica!’” without the gay porn…?

Neither have I, I just assume, without Goose, it’s reduced to its component parts of planes, explosions and propaganda but shinier and sans homoerotic subtext.
