Fucking pleb. Total Recall is near perfect.

Not only are you a pleb but you're the kind of pleb that would benefit from walking into traffic

Why are you so confident in your aesthetic sensibilities? They clearly cannot be trusted.
>>
>>68904768
probably just nostalgia, people like 80s shit for some reason

>>68904768
Total Recall is a case of entertainment done right. It's action and sci fi and is great in both genres, with good comedic moments, FANTASTIC set design, and overall good story telling.

Love Total Recall, hate Predator. TR is very well paced and you're always wondering about the premise, it's just good all the way through.

Watch the remake with Colon Ferrell. It might suit you better, pleb.

It's pulp sci-fi at it's finest. If you don't like it, then you don't like ice cream.

Op here, I'm not browsing while watching. I paused the movie 20 minutes in to make this thread.

Paul Verhoven's new movie Elle looks decent

I want him to do more R rated over the top action/satire Blockbuster

I don't care if its Capeshit
JUST COME BACK AND SAVE US FROM HOLLYWOOD

This so much, blockbusters started going to shit (with the exception of the Lord of the Rings movies) once Verhoeven left the scene.

If you're watching from a dvd/bluray, eject the disc, break it in two, then slash your throat open with the shards.

I appreciate my brain putting this into Schwarzeneggar's voice as I read it

it's funnier and more quotable, not sure about better tho

SPOILER ALERT - Douglas Quaid was a replicant.

I've been putting off Running Man for a long time, is it really that good?

>>68907458

Are you fucking serious? Countless movies don't get good until you're over 30 minutes into it. Go watch the entire film, you fucking pleb.
>>
>>68907764
No. It's funny though. Like a bootleg Verhoeven.
>>
>>68907789
Sounds good to me
>>
>>68907764
it's a blast
>>
It's a dream. The events are intentionally camp and impossible. Everything happens at a breakneck pace. The film feels like a self-insert fantasy because it is a self-insert fantasy (of the main character). Just like in Starship Troopers, the camp and the ridiculous is completely intentional. It's a masterpiece. Action kino.
>>
>>68907764
It's one of my favorite Arnold films.
>>
>>68907764

the first 40 minutes is GOAT worldbuilding

then it kind of loses itself in shitty character development and strange pacing. it recovers though towards the end

Not wanting to be seen taking sides with someone that doesn't like Total Recall but that's bullshit. The first half hour should be hooking you in, the latter parts of a movie may tend to be better but that's no excuse for a quarter or third of your movie being shit.
