Even more shocking is that while it stars a porn star it's not a good film. Porn stars being famously great actors.

It's still there. I saw a movie there about a month ago. It wasn't a silent film though - they aren't all.

I like the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo better. Guy plays the Wurlitzer. They have shorts before the feature and a sing-a-long.

1941

It might be unfair to watch only the last hour and then comment but that's not going to stop me. Good god Spielberg what where you doing? It's terrible not only not funny and I don't mean not laugh out load funny I mean not a hint of a smile funny, it's also annoying as hell a load of good comedy actors wasted screaming at the camera and pulling faces.

The To Do List - Starring Aubrey Plaza as Brandy, a very type-A highschool grad on a quest to finish a sexual "to do" list before going to college (despite not knowing what half of them even are) (i.e., hand job, blow job, rim job, pearl necklace, etc.). It's set in Boise, Idaho in 1993 so there is a lot of humor derived from early 90s references/slang/scrunchies. Maybe Fuenke is in this as is Bill Hader. I thought it was pretty funny (though the ending is a bit disjointed and feels tacked on). Aubrey Plaza was very, very good at playing this type of extreme overachiever whose extreme focus prevents her from really enjoying life and love in high school.

Clear proof that the one genre you can't just throw money at to make an improvement is comedy

It seemed funny when I was 11 years old.

Watched WWZ recently. For some reason annoyed me that the zombies were actually dead. I guess I like the rage virus concept of zombieism a lot -- I just think it makes more sense to say that these guys are infected with a virus that shuts down their brain and turns it hyper aggressive than them not having a functioning circulatory system.

Pretty sure you just spoilered that for me.

Are there any genre's where this method continuously works (maybe action/scifi as an exception)

I'm definitely going to see this movie before rendering judgement... I like abnormal film making. the only thing I can see being let down on is that there is no actual reaming taking place... that would have been to perfect.

I just watched skyfall for the first time last night... wow, what a great movie.
even though the revenge plot was a little "lite" for my tastes, it suffices.

The plot holes are large enough to drive a tanker through, and moneypenny was supremely annoying... still overall is a thumbs up!

Please post more in this thread.

Thank you.

Anyone have an idea from what movie this quote might be

Sounds like American Pie but I don't think it is. Might be another teenage movie.

I wouldn't wish The Canyons on anyone. I've seen one glowing review and I was puzzled as I read the review. It's as if the person praised the film for being horribly bad, uninteresting and had some lol acting.

I'll say this, that James Deen guy has great presence. He knows how to work the camera, he plays the dbag quite well at times. Poor Lohan, I want Mean Girls LL back damn it.

Any chance this is as good as the trailer?

Let's certainly hope so... spectacular camera work and compositional elements.

Knew it was based on a short story from 70+ years ago, was wondering if it was going to be a modern take. I think there's a decent chance it's a pretty good film.

I remember enjoying the short story a lot when I read it for English class. Looks like the movie is quite different from the story based on the trailer. Seems an unusual role for Ben Stiller.

Danny Kaye would be proud.

He probably spends longer in front of a camera as a porn star in a month than many Hollywood stars do in a year, so it makes sense that he's good at this.

After watching the trailer, I was surprised to see it was directed by Stiller.

Just had Before Midnight spoiled for me on the podcast The Golden Briefcase. Eff. The statute of limitations on some movies is forever.

My thought when I saw the trailer: This doesn't...look terrible?

10 years is the spoiler limitation period for bigger films IMO, smaller ones don't have limitations.

Before Midnight was the biggest release of the last seven years.

I was talking in general, I haven't seen any of those films and for some reason have no desire to (not against dialogue-heavy films but I'm just not interested).

Also, just to clarify I meant that I think smaller films should never be spoilered (without a spoiler alert of course) even if they were made in the 1920s.
