ASK MOVIE SLATE

@askmovieslate / askmovieslate.tumblr.com

Hello every creature.
My name is Movie Slate.
I run a movie theater in Ponyville called "The Lumiere".
I love marshmallows, I have a crush on Rarity, I have a cousin named Cotton Bucket, and my favorite movie is "ALIENS".
Thanks to your donations, my movie collection has gotten really big! You have all been so kind to me.
Thank you so much!
So, come on in! Take a seat. Have some popcorn. We might have the perfect movie for you to enjoy.

I think you meant to say "Frankenstein" there, darling.

I love this movie, seriously, it's so wonderful and weird. You'd think it's just a remake of the original Frankenstein, but it's much more clever than that. With the author even breaking through and addressing the audience about the events to come.

If you have seen "Poor Things", this was the Poor Things of its time.

I won't lie, having a Borderlands movie be directed by Eli Roth is kind of wild.

But I'm getting this un-shakeable "We have Guardians of the Galaxy at home" vibe out of it that's both weirding me out and turning me off of it quite badly. It's only accentuated by having big names like Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis in it. What is going on!?

Y'know...between this and that Gran Turismo movie directed by Neil Bloomkamp, I am severely worried about the status of directors and work at the movie industry these days. Should we be ready to hear Steven Spielberg is making a Fortnite movie? Oh...wait no, Ready Player One, nevermind.

I mean hey, if it's you that's cool, I like ya. I like your stuff.

I like your attitude! You have confidence, Derek. I just don't like your movies, they're terrible, but they sure aren't boring.Never boring. You know what's boring? Not your movies, that's for sure.

When are the 420 Awards happening, by the way? I really wanna watch those this year.

I know, I know.

The Exorcist is a movie that, by today's standards, no longer holds up in terms of horror. What I couldn't deal with however, was how real everything else is. The Exorcism part is kinda goofy, and the director's cut doesn't make the movie any favors, but the real life stuff is just so raw and so upsetting.

I had to turn it off when it came to the Angiography scene. That...no, I just can't. It crawls under my skin just by thinking about it. Sometimes a movie is too effective at being hyper realistic.

I eventually finished it, but it took a few days and a lot of alcohol to get through it.

Jamesy: In all honesty though, it's great that it won so many.

Movie Slate: Weren't you bitching and moaning about the Oscars being stupid a few weeks ago?

Jamesy: Yepp!

Movie Slate: You make no sense!

Jamesy: And if it hadn't won any Oscars you'd be seeing me all mopey and upset, that much I can guarantee.

Movie Slate: Ugh, see the shit I have to put up with Goji?

Jamesy: At least I hope you enjoyed the movie.

Amulette: IT always enjoys a movie with Kenua Reeves especially with freinds.

Jamesy: Hahah, I mean how does this one compaaaAAAA-! A-Amulette you're ruffling a bit too l-low down there, don't you think?

Amulette: Shhh No talking during the movie.

Jamesy: We're so t-totally gonna get baaaAAAaaanned.

Amulette: What for, there's nothing strange going on ; )

Jamesy: embarrassed birb noises

EDITOR'S NOTE: I think they both forgot to talk about Constantine. Sorry about that. We will re-review it in the future.

Do you know those sports movies that all inspirational, speeches, and "Oh no they're gonna fail on the third act, but they can make it!". Picture "Pacific Rim" but instead of robots it's football. That's how every sports movie is, basically.

Well you can take that concept and spin it around on its head with a bunch of zaniness, especially if you're a big fan of Captain Tsubasa, because this movie kicks ass. The characters are all super likable, and everyone is acting their best. The tone is also perfect, nailing the balance between heartfelt comedy and Zucker Brothers screwball comedy.

This is my favorite Stephen Chow movie, and I'd watch it in a heartbeat any day of the week.

We're doing a Geoff Keighley over here.

Have you noticed the increasing amount of movies based around the history of a brand we've been getting lately? I know that there's only like, six or seven real stories to tell, but come on. I wonder how long it will take to make a movie about the mites that live inside dust bunnies.

...wait, that was Quantummania!? Oh for the love of-!

Seriously, this movie's boring as sin.

Lack of Roxanne aside, there's not enough of the animatronics and waaaay too much of the paternal/sibling family drama between Joss Hutcherson and his sister. Also the actors who play the family are all absolutely terrible. Like, soap opera level bad.

Also this might be just me, but the scene where Hutcherson's sister is introducing him to the animatronics makes me cringe. Don't ask me why, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

I liked Vanessa though. And Matthew Lillard's cast as William Afton is inspired casting. Here's hoping they make a sequel, it can only go up from here. It did make money! So who knows, maybe we'll get my wife-Roxy, Roxy! I mean Roxy, goddamnit.

I think doing movie video game movies can be beneficial in the long run, because there's a bunch of video games that are already trying to be like movies. I know it's not a movie, but it's got the quality of one, look at "The Last of Us" TV Series. That's like, one of the best series ever made, and it's based on a video game that is really cinematic.

Imagine if, oh my Gosh, someone went and made a movie based on one of David Cage's games. Can you imagine "Omicron: The Nomad Soul: The Movie"!? It'll make that one part of "Indigo Prophecy" canon!

That would be wild.

I for once look forward to distancing ourselves from super heroes and going into video games. It's not exactly Uncharted territory...even though that movie kinda sucked, but there's still a world of possibilities out there.

If this movie had been made with any semblance of wide-eyed innocence I would've enjoyed it a lot more, but as it is it's a pretty (unintentionally) funny pile of garbage.

The cinematic equivalent of a train wreck in a clown circus, except the clowns are now on fire, and we've run out of water. I don't understand why Sony keeps making these movies. After "Morbious" you would've expected them to stop, but nah they're still going. This must be how Mickey Mouse felt when all his brooms went out of control in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

I don't need to make a recommend. You already know whether or not you want to watch this movie.
