44 of 44 · most liked firstBtw The first thing my son—who’s almost 15—said to me, after exclaiming that the movie was brilliant (it’s getting 4 stars on Letterboxd from me), was that the Backrooms are like the Upside Down from Stranger Things. And he’s right—strange, alternate dimensions. Crossover when?

negative · AI labelView post →A strange man is eating the dogs…beheading the whales….transporting the roadkill bears through the Lincoln Tunnel. It’s the movie Elf set in the Upside Down.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every now and then, I stop and think about the movie The Upside of Anger, a finding-love-after-40 romantic dramedy about a woman whose husband leaves her and she moves on with Kevin Costner. Except we eventually find out her husband didn’t leave. He’s been dead in the backyard the entire film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay yes, I was the one who predicted that the Stranger Things episode “Sorcerer” would probably involve driving a truck full of volatile explosives through the Upside Down, because the Duffers were almost certainly fans of the classic 1977 William Friedkin film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Art is subjective. If you are interesting, can tell a good story why you drew/painted your work of art and act like it's amazing someone will buy it. The movie with Brian Cranston and Kevin Hart showed this anomaly well - The Upside.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Inglorious Basterds, which if you don’t know the film, is all about destroying Nazis. Now, in real life, the Nazis are being glorified and emulated. We are in the Upside Down.

neutral · AI labelView post →Why do we do this? This is the same thing that happened with The Intouchables and The Upside. Ruined a completely fine movie. Read the damn subtitles.
negative · AI labelView post →Also, I think Intouchables (2011, france) is a wonderful film, but the American remake, The Upside (2017) is awful.
negative · AI labelView post →WTF happened to the cinematography on Stranger Things? The first two seasons were lit and shot like they were filmed in the 80s. Retro lighting, an old film stock grain filter etc. Now it looks like every other over-lit streaming show. The Upside Down is lit up like the inside of a mall FFS.

neutral · AI labelView post →When they did this with the French movie The Intouchables, turning it into The Upside, I was pissed. And when they were going to try to do the same with Train to Busan, I love how everybody pointed out it's unrealistic since we don't have mass train transit here for real.

A versatile actor who never fails to impress. Can't wait to see what he brings to the table this time! #BryanCranston #Godzilla #TheUpside

neutral · AI labelView post →I saw »#TheUpside« yesterday. Even though »#Intouchables« didn't need a remake and the Americanization was somewhat over the top, the movie was still quite funny and entertaining. I was especially surprised by Kevin Hart's performance, who is usually a pretty good indicator for a bad comedy. #SneakReview
