Talk About Movies: Part 4 - Page 197 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

+1. And I can't think of a more perfect Lady MacBeth than Frances McDormand. I immediately pictured the whole thing, including her giving Toshiro Mifune "the look," just as if he had told her that the King of Scotland was going to take off on a bus with a rock 'n roll band.

Denzel? Maybe.

Ever thought about showing them Casino?

On the list. I was planning a Scorcese run with The Departed and Casino in addition to Goodfellas. Then maybe on to The Godfather (I and II anyway).

This has everything a western should have. Plenty of close in face shots with menacing music as well. Lots of fun.

is there really anything better than this... gives almost any top Kubrick shot a run for it's money!

you can JUST see Mr. Harmonica way in the background as the wagon driver pivots out of the way...

Yes, God, Yes Cute little movie about growing up in catholic school. Nancy Wheeler from Stranger Things is the lead and she is really good in this. The movie is based off of a short film and I don't think there was enough material for even an 80 minute movie. 7/10.

Wow, Charlie Kaufman, Jessie Buckley, and Jesse Plemons? Yes, please. Buckley killed it in Taboo and Chernobyl.

Dawson City: Frozen Time is amazing. Watching far too many movies these days when I should be doing other things.

Dawson City has actually been my Canadian address since 2001 and I have yet to watch this

Randomly ran into The French Connection right at the opening credits. 104 exceptionally well spent minutes.

I’m here for the hell yeah! Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorites. Plemons has been excellent in everything I’ve seen. Kaufman playing around with time sounds amazing.

Cul-de-sac movie night last night. Somebody else picked Billy Madison.

Sometimes I like Adam Sandler, but this was just terrible. I realize it's not serious moviemaking, but the story should at least hold together a little bit.

Kind of too bad, it was the neighbors' last night before they move. Would've much preferred to send them out with something at least watchable.

Fortunately, I had a fridge full of beer, so could hang out and tend the fire pit at least.

Do not agree. It’s been a couple years, and it’s no Happy Gilmore, but Billy Madison is quality. Sandler, Farley and Norm doing their thing is a good time. Obviously the plot is dumb but it also mostly makes sense?

On the plus side, in pre-movie chatting around the fire pit, something caused me to make the reference, "yeah, he got the steak knives."

One neighbor had no idea what I was talking about, so I was able to loan them the DVD for Glengarry Glen Ross. So maybe I offset the other a little.

Probably a top 5 movie for me period. This along with Once Upon A Time In America.

I font why this is probably one of my favorite scenes of all time.

If you can't drink Adam Sandler funny, you're doing it wrong.

I'm shocked that someone like Dominic has seen it. I avoid watching movies that I'm pretty sure will be something I won't like.
