Talk About Movies: Part 4 - Page 82 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

It looks identical to the first film, almost shot for shot. Tom flies plane upside down. Tom wears jacket and shades. Tom rides bike next to plane taking off. Tom proves irresistible to attractive woman. Tom goes to funeral. Tom saves the day.

Sounds a winning formula based on the track record.

Oh unless the reviews are complete ****, I’m definitely seeing it. Top Gun led to dreams of being a fighter pilot, which manifested only by playing lots of flight sims.

A fun throwback to the original kinda in the spirit of Friday overall a fun time I actually laughed a few times . . .

I Found I am mother way way to long and not anywhere near able to hold my attn, a far better Film with very similar premise I found was

Aladdin was actually fairly decn't and not as bad as I went in thinking it might be worth a watch IMO . . .

There's a reason that Yesterday has an audience score of 89 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now, it's no cinematic masterpiece, but it's a charming little romcom with fantastic music. Not to mention that I am now completely in love with the terminally cute and absolutely adorable Lily James.

Agree with DC. Saw it this weekend, thought it was great. Actually funnier than I thought it would be. I'm a massive Beatles fan, listen to their albums all the time, and oddly, the movie emphasized for me just how amazing their music is, as if somehow I didn't already know that.

Midsommar was pretty good. Great tone..."pastoral horror" is something we don't see too much of. Much better than the filmmaker's last movie, Hereditary, which I did not like.

Some bonkers scenes....loved much of it.

I agree and no spoilers guys. Apparently, those on the internet that have seen early viewing for the Tarantino film have already been spreading the ending. Let's wait until we all see it here and then discuss.

Midsommar I did want to see. Several reviewers online said it was very violent. Maybe on that one.

I'm not usually one to get worked up about spoilers but if someone posts spoilers about once upon a time in hollywoo they should be tarred and feathered.

and FTR there were no typos in this post.

RIP Rutger Hauer

His performance in my favorite movie is a seminal moment in my development as a film geek. But to be remembered for this performance - for this scene - is not a bad thing at all.

for some strange reason when i think of Hauer i think of The Hitcher

was in high school when it came out and the plot seemed far too believable at the time

Love Hauer, but always thought the Hitcher was disgusting. What they did to poor JeniferJason Leigh.

Has anyone ever been cast more perfectly for a movie than Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty? Somewhat rhetorical for me but I think it might be interesting to hear some other candidates.

Really?

We shouldn't expect historical accuracy from the director of a WWII film who had a band of Jewish U.S. soldiers concoct and execute a plan to kill Nazi officers, including killing Hitler and Goebbels in a movie theater in Paris in 1944?

Thanks for the heads up.
