So one of my favorite movies that I have on CD and view often blew a gasket and no long functions. So I did the appropriate thing and ended its "life". See below pics.




Close up:





Note that Clive got one in the eye, Paul got his legs blown off, and Monica is missing a breast. I'm a damn good shot with my .45 auto even from 25 feet.

Actually that's a beautiful pattern from 25 feet, especially if it was an old 1911.

heh

There Will Be Blood I’m using my free time from no sports to catch up on acclaimed movies I’ve never seen. This was a masterpiece. Daniel Day Lewis gave the best acting performance of my generation. I can’t believe I never watched it.

i too recently rewatched it - great film

recently watched Blue Jasmine which I felt was incredible but possible because it strikes very close to home, i had a relationship with someone who was basically jasmine and ended about the same just without the financial scam and suicide

Finally watched newest Star Wars. Lol at Charlie from Lost being in it.

Just re-watched as well. Don’t think movies get better than this.

today's viewing pleasure...

ooooh, I love that movie

How can you not? There's a whole genre of movies where they go to a small town and find something funny going on. Everybody's dead or everybody's disappeared in the middle of breakfast -- but wait!!! -- they find somebody staggering around like a lunatic! (S)he holds the answer! It's Zombies! or Pod People! or Lee Child! or,

cue music

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN!

I'm pretty sure everybody loves this flick. Quarantiner's protip: wait til late at night to watch it...

Not everyone.

The movie was okay, but the book was just so much better. I probably would have enjoyed the movie more if I hadn't read the book first.

I went with Young Sherlock Holmes yesterday. Barry Levinson is an underrated director. Maybe it's just that I like movies about Sherlock Holmes.

I saw The Andromeda Strain at the drive-in when I was about 16 or 17 and at the time thought it might just be the greatest movie ever made. I saw it again a couple of years ago and it dropped a lot in my personal rankings But I still really enjoyed it though.

i don't know if it was in the movie or the book or both, but the scientist looking under the microscope and seeing "take us to your leader" sign idea has stuck with me since childhood

watched two old ones last night.
ride the whirlwind 1966 with jack nickelson. about as worse a movie as you could get.
terribel ending with really nothing to draw you in. spaghetti western

then a jackie chan western from when he was young. that one was equally bad. cant remember the name.

i seem to be a sucker for the old westerns on utube

one of the first scary for a kid sci fi was invaders from mars. 1953. i watched it and remember it as it has stuck with me all my life as a intensely scared kid seeing this unbelievable movie. which of course now is nothing scary.

I should be going to school today to teach When Harry Met Sally . . . I just watched it again, and I swear if and when I teach it again, I'm wearing a "Don't **** With Mr. Zero" t-shirt.

I love this movie.

El Genio (Terence Hill)... sucker!

damn, Jojo Rabbit was sneakily quite moving. It started out silly, but then got serious, without losing the humor.

Starting the movie with the Beatles singing in German as a parody of German life in WWII, but then ending with Bowie singing, again in German, "Heroes," just killed me. From fascist Germany to free Germany in two songs.

And the little dance at the end....almost made me cry.

Watching The Dark Knight for the first time in about ten years....it's a bit of a mess, isn't it? Strange, because I really liked it when it first came out. It's just...flat now. Narratively all over the place. I love every movie has made, but the three Batman movies are weird trio...they just haven't aged well.

I'm seeing so many movies I'm begining to lose track. On Criterion I watched Kiarostami's final film, 24 Frames. Strangely beautiful, capped off by a lovely ending featuring, of all things, a song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom of the Opera.

And Good Time, the Safdie Brothers's film, which is even better than Uncut Gems. Frightening and hilarious in equal measures.

Wow, I didn't like Good Times at all. A movie about one idiot trying to outsmart a bigger idiot

I watched Jojo Rabbit (along with Knives Out, Parasite, Midway, and a couple of other films) during my 16+ hour flight home last week from Dubai. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie; in fact, it was probably my favorite of all the movies I watched on the flight. I was both moved and caught completely off guard by

The only aspect of the movie that bothered me a bit was

Watched Armstrong on the way over. Didn't like as much as the other Apollo 11-oriented docs from last year. Just seemed flat.

Viewed, unfortunately, Troy (2004).

An occasional halfway respectable scene is overwhelmed by all the scenes of desultory idiocy and general uncompromising stupidity. Toward the end of the film when Paris kills Achilles, I was wishing Paris would send his arrows at the moronic slut priestess bit-ch maggot that so much helped ruin the film. Then her head should have been hacked off and put on the point of a spear.

The only further thing to add is that the producers, writers, director, and the majority of others affiliated with this bombastic trash heap of a film should also be beheaded; thongs of leather run through their ankles (can you say Achilles heel) and their bodies dragged around whatever studio in Hollywood was responsible for this vomit-inducing celluloid monstrosity.

Homer, with his rosy fingers of dawn and wine-dark sea poetics, vomited in his grave at the first screening of this vile, insidious, garbage of a film.

Amen.
