TDK - excellent, as always. Can't wait to see this!

i remember about 12 years ago on my first date with my future wife we were talking about movies n she said her favorite was true romance.

the ensuing 12yrs has been pretty much the same.

the only negative is ppl think we named our puppy Alabama cuz we're roll tide fans.

That’s not how the baseball scale works. It’s 20-80. 80 is a perfect rating. There has never been a 90 or 100. It doesn’t exist. They aren’t rating these guys 80/100 it’s 80/80

Just make sure your future wife doesn't love

Yep. That's why I said 80 is the max grade they give out. I was suggesting it was similar, I didn't mean to imply my scale is exactly the same. Sorry, sir!

The critical scene about authenticity/career trajectory is the one on the balcony at the Chateau Marmont in front of the giant billboard of her face. But there are at least 3 times when Jack voices his disapproval about where she’s heading with her career. So I’m surprised at your critique with that aspect.

The bathroom break can really mess up the experience of this movie. I missed a massively critical scene on my first watch, and my wife missed the scene where he’s talking to the counselor in rehab and unveils the severity of his psychiatric issues... twice (yes we saw the movie twice in 3 days.)

This film is much more rich and subtle than it appears at first. On the first viewing you are so blown away by the acting and music that it’s hard to appreciate the pacing, writing, dialogue, foreshadowing, and even the amazing performances of the minor supporting actors (Ally’s friend from work is brilliant in a small role that really adds richness and authenticity to the whole movie.) This movie definitely gets better with subsequent viewings.

The most noteworthy aspect of this movie, to me, is the directing. Cooper is somehow able to construct a universe that the viewer wants to inhabit and doesn’t want to leave. I would have thought this is impossible to do in a contemporary melodrama. When the movie is over, you are sad to have to leave their world. I wanted to watch them more and hear more music and watch them play more concerts. I feel like this is the result of how the film was shot. All those close ups and the perspectives used during their stage performances leave you feeling not only like you were there... but like you were THEM.

Correct grammar is boring. Scream at them both. Best however to remain silent. It is possible that they actually deserve each other.

You are very good at remaining aloof. This will save you. It has saved me. Numerous times.

Astros - Red Sox. Red Sox - Astros. Nuclear Baseball. The best kind. Hope it goes seven games and ends in apocalyptic fashion.

Nice! I'm going to take Maile to see it soon, so if you guys wanna join us for a third viewing, let me know!

Having to pee in the middle of a movie sucks. Old man problems lol

^ lol Dom said it himself: he’s “just nitpicking.”

Literally making **** up to complain about.

I can't imagine leaving a theatre for a bathroom break -- don't you know to go right before it starts?

I went today to see A Star Is Born. Review later, but I did go to bathroom before movie began, so this old man didn't need a bathroom break.

Yeah I was surprised about that also. I am drinking water constantly so I think I make more bathroom visits overall than a typical person, but I've never had to go in the middle of a movie, nor has any date that I remember.

A few years ago I took my young nephews to the movies and was pretty frustrated when the 5 year old had to go right at the climax while the animated penguins were in grave danger. At least he did think it was fun when I said we should have a contest to try to have the quickest potty break ever so ran to and from the restroom.

Haven't you ever seen those "gotta go" commercials? I'm 55. I go right before the movie starts. Sometimes I gotta go again, especially if I'm drinking soda and/or eating candy.

Well, I can drive.

Oldies are so cute.

Last weekend I saw A Simple Favor.
Really hadn't even heard of it before that day, it was the only thing showing at the theater where I was that seemed interesting.

Can't say it was a superb film or anything, but I found it very entertaining. It's kind of halfway between a legitimate thriller / mystery movie and a spoof of one, which is an odd place, but it worked for me.

I had seen Anna Kendrick on a lot of talk shows and she was always hilarious. Don't think I actually have watched any previous movies she was in though, and pretty sure this is her first starring role. It was perfect for her personality strengths. Blake Lively as the other female lead was also very good. The male lead was kinda meh, but it may just be that his part was not as interesting. This movie was probably made more for women than men, but not really a chick flick.

it comes for all us, Scooter.

Next week!

Youngster!

lol I've actually always had a weak bladder. I get up sometimes 3, 4 times a night while sleeping. But that's not new.

My doc asked me ten years ago if I had any problems. I told him I had to get up to see at night. He said that's not unusual for a man of your age.

I asked him, "When the **** did I get to be a man of my age?"

I bet he'd never heard that one before

Why do you have to see anything at night? You're sleeping.

Autocorrect: "see" should be "pee."
