The first 3 bourne movies are awesome, other 2 meh. How come you like the 4th one with renner more than the second rbk? I was so looking forward to 5 last year ( or 2 years ago already?) But yeah.. what a letdown.

Talking about best action movies: die hard, terminator 2, bourne.. but also The Raid 1 & The Raid 2 imo. My personal favorites in the genre.

Recently saw Creed

Fun, cliché, good fight scenes. Stallone as the wise old trainer is nice and hearthwarming to see. Good continuation of the rocky series.

I hated Die Hard... but love REDS.


---------------------------------------------

Jim Jarmusch... a Zombie movie, "The Dead Don't Die"






I think chloe sevigny still looks good.

Rbk, I love Duplicity. Great fun.

What was it exactly about that film that made you hate it?

I can understand someone perhaps being a bit ambivalent towards it, but I think it's a really hard film to hate.

Perhaps hate was not the right word... I stand corrected, I would hate to have to watch it again. I watch red every time it's on the boobtube

It's just not my cup of tea. I think the formula of the sole avenging Angel and savior has been beaten to death... even in the era of the original movie. While I still do enjoy that genre and that formula, there was nothing in that movie I could identify with on a personal level, it's a personal problem ... Plausibility is a must for me.

Yippie ki yay mutha f*cka...

Antman & Wasp was hilarious and well worth seeing if you liked the first Antman. The story is a hot mess loaded with way too much technobabble, but it's worth it see Paul Rudd and Michael Pena goof around.

S.T.T.S.: Out of order.

Windshield wipers: exploit the proletariat.

WorryFree: Power Caller!

**** You! Phones Down!

35% of the men who wear pink are more likely: To start a franchise.

New suit: What's that music?

The Last Dragon: Loungers prolly the only ones to have seen it (Vanity!).

*********, *********, *********: *********.

Jade Door:

Sorry, no spoilers.


Minotaur: Equesapiens.

I was telemarketing before: telemarketing was cool.

None of the above. Predator. It was so over the top. A guy CARRYING a mingun? Carl Weathers is one of the smaller guys??

Saw Oceans 8 with the gf.

As expected it was meh.

I was pretty bored throughout it.

And this isn't some sort of "anti-chick" thing, as I quite liked the ghost buster remake. It just was slow and it didn't feel exciting at any stage.

I'm pro-chick, they smell good. Most of them. I'm especially pro Emily Blunt who I'm watching now in this Matt Damon movie from a few years back, The Adjustment Bureau. It's pretty good for popular entertainment. I'll take anything reasonable that's not comic book bull**** these days. Next up is that Tom Cruise one about dying and repeating.
07-15-2018 , 05:45 AM
Women are just more interesting. The one with Tom cruise dying I really liked. Emily Blunt is really hot as the super bad ass.

I watched Undrafted. Really liked it. This guy who didnt get drafted wrote and directed it himself about a league game he played in the day he found out he didnt get drafted. Its a funny movie. Billy Gardell is in it and hes got some great lines.

u know more i think about it i think 2 was better but for some reason I find 4 more rewatchable but that's probably just recency bias and anyway i love all of the first 4 so much that ranking them is pretty pointless.

Both good movies, I particularly like The Adjustment Bureau, it's a great love story.

Apparently a lost Stanley Kubrick screen play has been found...






a professor at Bangor University named Nathan Abrams says he has found a lost Stanley Kubrick screenplay called Burning Secret, and it sounds pretty darn creepy. Abrams, who The Guardian says is a “leading Kubrick expert,” describes it as “the inverse of Lolita,” and it centers on a “suave and predatory man” who befriends a young boy in hopes of seducing the boy’s mother. It’s based on Stefan Zweig’s 1913 novella of the same name, and Kubrick wrote it alongside novelist Calder Willingham in 1956.

Kubrick’s desire to work on Burning Secret has apparently been a big rumor among fans for a long time, but Abrams’ discovery is the first proof—assuming it’s legitimate—that a relatively complete screenplay actually exists. The script has a stamp from MGM, and the timing suggests that Kubrick was also working on Paths Of Glory at the same time, which may have convinced MGM to pull the plug on the project. Abrams also theorizes that “the adultery storyline”—as he puts it—would’ve been “too risqué” for Hollywood at the time.

As The Guardian notes, Andrew Birkin did make his own film based on the same source material as Kubrick’s script, but it used a different screenplay than the one Kubrick co-wrote.

That's a great story, Dominic. Thank you for sharing.

Did I ever tell you guys how much I loathe Highlander 2?

I don't often pimp podcasts I'm on, but I did go on this one to argue why Highlander 2 is the worst horror/scifi movie ever made... Which meant I had to watch the dog**** original cut (not the renegade cut, which is merely terrible) for the first time since its first release run, 27 years ago...

I agree, and looking good!

Went to go see Sorry To Bother You ..which turned out to be a pretty good surreal satire movie that takes on everything from capitalism,racism and slavery but still feels light and funny..The movie kind of goes completely off the rails at the end but it's still really good. It might be my favorite movie of the year so far....

I've liked Anne Hathaway since Ella Enchanted. I had two little girls (5 and 2) back then - most of you probably never saw that one.

Only Lover left alive is an amazingly good interpretation And re making of a classic story... cinematic and important this is an extremely rewarding movie and immediately slots in the top tier of films made in the later twentieth and early twenty first century.

I watched this today in honor of Jim Jarmusch's new zombie movie and as a homage to the normalized Hollywood genre films in the form of limits of control (representative the spy/super hero movie)... only lovers left alive (representative of the Dracula films)... and the forthcoming zombie film the dead don't die.

This cinematic film belies the normalised film release of Hollywood and is widely looked upon as a true visual and art directed masterpiece.

Pacing is extra ordinary and is in stark contrast to the "instant on" modern films.

All the President's Men

Two reporters work to uncover the Watergate scandal

Not bad, but I didn't think it was as amazing as I've heard it hyped up to be.

Jupiter Ascending

Synopsis: Who knows?

Watched it to see if it was a bad as people say it is. The first 30 minutes or so felt like if you gave someone's odd role playing game a million dollar budget. It felt a bit quirky and like it might not be my thing but unique enough for someone out there to like it. Then the whole thing derails is after the bees are generically programmed to recognize royalty part. Ironically what makes it so terrible is, after the first 30 minutes it becomes so conventional. Long space fights, a fraud wedding in order to steal someone's wealth, a fight on a exploding planet/factory/etc. Any failure of a director/ screenwriter could have made the other hour and 30 minutes.
