Watching Sinners and I love the amount of effort put into "these twins are played by the same actor, look at how much they hand things to each other or hug or interact during scenes, technology is incredible"
Sinners (2025)
ok I was not expecting a DJ to appear
Sinners (2025)
Thing I was expecting to happen that didn't: when the head vampire was dunking Preacherboy in the water... I was thinking... he's the son of a priest, surely he could bless that water.... but no, I was wrong...
Sinners (2025)
Satisfying ending.
Went the whole movie thinking "I kinda wish this movie was more about racism and less about vampires-as-a-metaphor-for-racism", and boy was I wrong.
Very fun characters, very fun performance.
Really think I should watch more things Michael B. Jordan is in, he's amazing.

@The_T If you haven't seen Creed I highly recommend it!!
re: Sinners (2025)
@wallhackio I was looking on Wikipedia and going "should I watch every Rocky movie and then watch Creed"
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T well if you do watch them all please tell me your opinions!!
re: Sinners (2025)
@wallhackio I'll seek the advice of movie friend @Alexis on this one
They probably wanna be tagged into this thread anyway
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T @Alexis If you want my very quick opinions:
Rocky I: Good, if you can stomach the relationship between Rocky and Adrianna whose first date depicts what is very much a 1976 understanding of healthy boundaries. It's a really good character study and tribute to the human spirit
Rocky II: The best "sports movie" of them all. Still has the gritty feel of the first film but indulges more in the excitement of the sport. The final fight is awesome
Rocky III: Either a horrible perversion of everything the first film stands for, or a delightful and charming piece of 80s cheese. Not sure which.
Rocky IV: It's Rocky III but Rocky fights communism with the power of boxing. Weird movie
Rocky V: It tries to recapture the spirit of the original films while also holding Rocky accountable for his actions in III and IV, which should be good but it's not.
Rocky VI: This one is pretty good. It's shot in an interesting way and explores mortality and aging. Unexpectedly melancholic. It has a good heart.
Creed: It's really fucking good watch it or else
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T @wallhackio I have seen exactly one (1) Rocky movie, a big blind spot for me alongside Rambo. (Glad you enjoyed _Sinners_.)
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T @wallhackio Like Ti, I'm an "I have to watch all of them" sicko, so unless there's a screening of "Creed" soon enough that I don't have time to prep for it, I'm not jumping in like that, either.
I mostly just haven't had a reason to jump into them, really. (I'm surprised Blank Check haven't done all of them yet.)
re: Sinners (2025)
@Alexis @wallhackio oh god, there are 2 more Creed films also
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T @wallhackio Yeah, there are *nine* of these.
re: Sinners (2025)
@Alexis @wallhackio when are we gonna start a movie watching podcast, it's the only way we'll get through these 9 films
re: Sinners (2025)
@The_T @wallhackio I mean, I watch nine movies between breakfast and lunch.
re: Sinners (2025)
@Alexis @wallhackio it's the only way I'll get through these 9 films
re: Sinners (2025)
@wallhackio you need to understand that when it comes to canon my mind is broken
I almost read every single Marvel comic to better enjoy the MCU
(I made it to like 1968)
