What Movies Are You Watching Lately

[Kaplan]

Philistine.

On one hand, that's probably true.

On the other, I do appreciate some of the all time classics.

Like the first RoboCop.

Netflix remake of SHAFT as a comedic blacksploitation film which was good for a laugh. Featured Richard Roundtree as Grandpa Shaft.Has the smell of being the first in a franchise.

Isn’t that #4 or 5 of an existing franchise?

Gramps Dad and Son make it a new franchise. More so as the son shops at GAP.

Meaning it's trying to stave off bankruptcy? Did Son not get the memo?

Defy authority.
Destroy property.
Take people’s clothes off.

These are the pillars to every great movie. So, yes, Animal House is a great movie.

You a big 'Vigilante Force' fan, then?

First robocop is a quite smart movie underneath the brutality and explosions. Also it mostly uses satire to be smart, so it never risks being silly. Definitely one of the best action movies imo

 

[Geoffrey Firmin]

Dramatically powerful performances and direction make this a insightful study of creative artistic life welded firmly to the process of history. The first half hour is brutal as it deals with vile Nazi historical crimes. Highly recommend.

I watched an interesting documentary on Jack Taylor, who provided bespoke suits for many stars, including Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra. A very colorful figure who gave lots of celebrities sartorial style! "Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills" can be seen on Amazon Prime (I will not add a link as it creates an ad).

Get your damn facts straight. The sun doesn't rise in the west because the sun doesn't rise at all. The earth is flat.

 

[beargonefishing]

Pet Cemetery should have been called Pet Shitetery.

 

[The Ernesto]

Things to do in Denver (or wherever the hell you may be) when you're bored out of your gourd and about to be dead?

Andy Garcia, Christopher Lloyd, Christopher Walken. Wasn't great from memory.

 

[noob in 89]

You have a good memory.

Andy Garcia, Christopher Lloyd, Christopher Walken. Wasn't great from memory.

"Wasn't great" is being far too kind to that movie.

Even a generous supply of mescaline from beargonefishing's stash would not have helped relieve the ennui.

not great not terrible
