  1. The visuals of a nubile Florence Pugh demonstrated why he risked it all in a toxic relationship. But beyond that, it demonstrated the allure and revolutionary thinking of the time, the romance of being a Red juxtaposed against the victorian, straight-laced mainstream society of the 30’s and 40’s. But mostly, we got to see Pugh all nude and sweaty in IMAX.
  2. Raiders is a better film, a landmark in motion picture history, lapping existing action flicks, winning four Oscars. More menacing and thrilling. Last Crusade the more enjoyable movie. Great prequel sequence with River Phoenix, dropped Sean Connery in there, really snappy and funny dialogue. But lets stop all this best of the OT talk. There’s an amazing movie, then a bunch of sequels, one of which was very good.
  3. For GQP, making it hard recruiting top talent is a feature not a bug. Now they can better place loyalists and friends and family in faculty and prestige positions.
  4. Your conclusions are all wrong
  5. I think the score was used as a crutch. Very loud movie and it used silence to jarring effect. The man’s a genius, but I think 4-5 scenes didnt need it.
  6. Really interesting movie. Saw it last night after ignoring this thread. Good >Every performance. Surprisingly Matt Damon might have been the weak link but I sensed he got some scenes cut. Probably gonna see 4-5 noms. Took me awhile to figure out that was Josh Hartnett, who was very good. >The pacing was amazing as was the bomb sequence. >Florence Pugh. Good gravy. >Truman scene. Wonder if that happened that way. Bad > I can see they left out a whole bunch of stuff, but it was already a 3-hour movie. Think the Lincoln comp was decent. That this was more about capturing key pieces mostly over 3 time periods and more about Opp than the bomb. Ugly > Really went overboard on the soundtrack. Constant blaring. It could be more noticeable in this flick, since there was more dialogue than a Dunkirk for example.
  7. Twitter was a very helpful tool for journalists and activists. It was a bastion for Western-style democracy. Regretfully, it’s also vitally influential over our economy and stock market. Fracturing it was a vital step for fascism and individual nihilists. Due to his ties to foreign money and authoritarian governments, Elon Musk should not have been permitted to purchase (and now destroy) this company. Even this site is dependent upon this company for breaking news.
  8. wife dragged me to see flea bag Good >Opening set pieces in Germany and NYC >Fan service, ending worked >Mads talking scenes >De-aging, scary good Bad >Flea bag reprises scrappy doo role from Mutt >Clunky dialogue. Flat too often. >CGI was uneven. Spectacular at times, but a lot of obvious green screen and schlock >Needed de-aging voice >M’eh storyline >Nazis!!! like 2 dozen times Ugly >Runtime. Morocco should have been cut. Nearly fell asleep by this time.
  9. Son, and I'm just going to tell you this one time. You want to keep posting here, stay off the drugs.
  10. One more week til the cold front comes
  11. I drove by a Jazzercise studio at Lakeline. So this hits close to home.
  12. I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual.
  13. He’s lost some ability. Not the same actor, nor as interesting in roles. Peaked with Moneyball and GOG about 10 years ago. He’s cashing checks. A high-budget, Indiana Jones tv series would kill it. Start off with Dr Jones worrying about tenure, fighting off co-eds in the 20’s, then send him to Morocco by way of Vienna. No need for fan service or pandering when you got a badass PhD with a bull whip runnin around.
  14. Its odd to reply to Derka’s premise seriously. But, if a human being is never offended, then they might have a mental disorder. They could have one or more of a variety of disorders where they feel nothing or are disassociated from reality. Having a trained response to suppress or mute a response, could be normal at times. And is probably what we all have to do on a regular basis as a coping mechanism. Some people get offended, suppress a response, and commit self harm or react poorly at a later moment. It’s where therapy can help, so a person can deal with frustration more directly and effectively.
  15. When Longhorn great Stanley Richard was asked what car he drives, he replied emphatically, “Sheriff’s gotta ride a Mustang!” Maybe he now has kids to take to soccer practice.
  16. That goes (out the window) without saying.
  17. Just exercising their freedom of speech
  18. John McClane wasn’t really a police officer. A man by the name of Bruce Willis pretended to be a police officer for a fictional moving picture show. You see John McTiernan, a man employed to lead a group of camera, light, and sound technicians, asked Willis to pretend to be a police officer for the film and Willis agreed. But not until after Willis could confirm with McTiernan that he knew Willis was not really a police officer.
  19. The virtual mama / BJ beatdown back to bakc was epic. Very well done. BJ’s lucky to be alive Actor playing Stephen deserves an emmy
  20. Last year in Europe, deaths above normal attributed to heat wave = 60k.
  21. You know you’re reaching a new low when an adult with the handle “safe sex” correctly calls you out.
