neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched 📽️ BLOOD AND BLACK LACE - excellent early giallo BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE - an overlong mess that I absolutely love THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER - Hadn’t seen since I was a kid. The flying sequences are absolutely amazing! Needs an IMAX revival KLUTE - hideous kinky
positive · AI labelView post →I think this is true, but, equally, not all storytelling does have to be great and it’s okay to enjoy a one-and-done bit of art like, say “Bad Times at the El Royale”.

neutral · AI labelView post →Revisiting BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE for the plot. Nah forreal, its podcast prep. However, sexy cult leader Chris Hemsworth is a nice bonus
positive · AI labelView post →I am so excited for Furiosa and also specifically Chris Hemsworth (seemingly) playing another villain I've been waiting for ages, he was INCREDIBLE in Bad Times at the El Royale (a movie that is super slept on in general, IMO) and folks really need to remember he's not just Thor
positive · AI labelView post →Did anyone see a film she was in called Bad Times At The El Royale? What a wild film
neutral · AI labelView post →If you liked Cynthia Erivo in #Wicked this weekend (and why wouldn’t you?) make some time for the criminally underseen WIDOWS and BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE.
neutral · AI labelView post →Jeff Bridges’ Tron 3 Update Is A Much Bigger Deal Than I Thought. > > > Jeff Bridges' addition to the Tron: Ares cast marks his first return to a feature film since 2018's Bad Times at the El Royale. The acclaimed actor has starred in nearly 100 different films and television series since he made his onscreen appearance in the classic television series Sea Hunt (1958 - 1961) alongside his father, Lloyd Bridges, who was in the leading role. Bridges has been nominated for Best Actor seven times…

neutral · AI labelView post →We watched The Last Stop in Yuma County and I can’t stop thinking about what a precise, tight Shakespearean Western it is. Fully commits, fantastically drawn characters. A most welcome surprise of a movie - strong vibes of a stripped down Bad Times at the El Royale (another fave and a gem)

positive · AI labelView post →You ever stop and think about the criminally underrated "Bad Times at the El Royale"? I sure do.
positive · AI labelView post →BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE features such flooring performances from Erivo and Jeff Bridges. I still don't understand how the movie flopped. It's exceptional.
positive · AI labelView post →Apropos of nothing, BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE is a terrific flick I wish more people talked about. An absolutely great performance at its heart from Cynthia Erivo, my favorite Jeff Bridges performance in ages, Chris Hemsworth being terrifying.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7wz...

neutral · AI labelView post →never too old brother. also if you haven't seen Bad Times at the El Royale she's amazing in it and her singing is amazing in it
positive · AI labelView post →I loved Bad Times at the El Royale (2018). Jeff Bridges, Lewis Pullman, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, & Cailee Spaeny are phenomenal. Cynthia Erivo’s powerful singing is beautiful. She’s very sympathetic. Chris Hemsworth’s villain is very intense and unnerving. Creative mystery film.
positive · AI labelView post →Cynthia Erivo, BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE

neutral · AI labelView post →I threw on Bad Times at the El Royale after like a few years now, and that's CYNTHIA ERIVO! I didn't even know at the time. Love going back to stuff and being hey, it's that person! But yeah she was my favorite in this movie if I recall correctly, so that tracks. Its Cynthia! 😆

Some slop, but also some damn good flicks on blu-ray like 12 Years a Slave Bad Times at the El Royale Ever After A Hidden Life One Hour Photo The Peanuts Movie Raising Arizona Ready or Not Underwater Widows and more!
neutral · AI labelView post →Like, I'm sorry, where in BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE did it seem like Cynthia, uh, *had* weight to lose, much less *needed* to lose?
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Wicked with @dukedoggo.bsky.social last night and i'm still buzzing about it There's a lot of hype around this movie that feels paid for, but honestly it's justified I've loved Cynthia since "Bad Times At The El Royale" and her performance was pure god-tier --
neutral · AI labelView post →Dang. I thought I had Bad Times at the El Royale on blu-ray. One of those movies that should always be on a streaming platform; its feet should never touch the ground. Twisty neo-noir steeped in a pinwheel of color, with a *stacked* cast, and such soulful leads in Cynthia Erivo & Jeff Bridges.

positive · AI labelView post →Jeff Bridges in Bad Times at the El Royale?
neutral · AI labelView post →“Bad Times at the El Royale” should be much better than it is. Cinematography is a joy to watch, some of the dialogue is excellent, acting is great, and tons of stuff is happening. Inexplicably, it’s still a profoundly boring movie.
negative · AI labelView post →The Fall Guy discourse would make sense if it were, e.g. Bad Times at the El Royale, a very engaging one-and-done thriller, only cost $32mn, barely made it back. Or other smart grown-up thrillers like All The Old Knives or How To Blow Up A Pipeline.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a stretch bare with me: Casino Bad Times At The El Royale
neutral · AI labelView post →Look, I am a big fan of Drew Goddard's writing, but this is a major nope for me. Do something original. Bad Times at the El Royale kind of shit, not this retread crap.

neutral · AI labelView post →I liked her in Bad Times at the El Royale, but that's the only time I've see her display some kind of emotion in a movie. And her character was a smoker, which obviously didn't affect my opinion at all. #FrightClub #Saturnalia
