The movie you just watched

[texasdago 7573]

OK... ready for this one?

This weekend I was on a business trip with plenty of time on my hands and for the first time ever I finally watched...

Inglorious Basterds

Django Unchained

Yeah... I know.

 

[GoPokes83 2240]

Ice Station Zebra. The bad soundstage sets kind of date it but it’s still a decent watch with a solid cast. Not a big fan of remakes but I’d like to see this one redone with better special effects.

This was a good movie. Interesting times back then. Jim Brown was a very interesting, and complicated, man.

A surprisingly good cast. Fredric March, Clifton James, Bernie Casey, Don Stroud, Karl Swenson along with Brown & Kennedy.

Man I am with you on having seen one of these late. IB I enjoyed for the humor it provided. Django I think I saw in the theater, but who knows. I was maybe more lukewarm on that one. I just didn’t connect as well with it. Does not mean it wasn’t a cool movie overall. Sometimes a movie can just fail to captivate you as to where most everyone else may love it.

IB is top shelf Tarantino. Django weirded me out.

Love these low budget Southern films. Clifton James is underrated. March stole every scene he was in and loved doing it.

There are very few scenes anywhere that can match the basement bar scene. Masterful.

[Underdog 28626]

Opening scene in IB is pretty dang good also.  The whole fucking movie is good. 

[Mo Horn 8834]

On Friday watched Being the Ricardos, No Hard Feelings, Pain Hustlers, and A Haunting in Venice. The last one being my least favorite. 

[Elvis 3371]

 

[Underdog 28626]

Never heard of American Pie Cabin Fever. 

[ajax 2611]

No Hard Feelings. Not bad, not great.

Fantastic ending

I really didn't get the horror classification of this one at first. The whole time I kept waiting for something really crazy to happen. And then.

Have on my DVR, I’ll try to get to it soon.

I can’t believe I missed this one. It sounds great.

From the Wiki:

The same beaver that attacked Jenn earlier chases her back to the house. She pins it to the counter with a knife, but not before it scratches her leg. Sam throws Zoe's dog into the water as a distraction, and the rest of the group flee to the house, where they realize the beavers have cut the phone lines. As zombie beavers surround the house, Tommy offers to leave with Buck to get help, and Zoe accompanies him. Their drive is interrupted as the beavers bring down a tree in the road, and Tommy sets off on foot, only to be crushed by another falling tree.

Streaming on MAX.  I watched this when it came out for rent, but I didn't remember any of it.  It had my pulse rate up for the whole movie.

I haven't seen that movie since it came out at Blockbuster and I still remember how bad it was. There was no late fee.

The Vacation films were the only funny stuff he ever did solo. I never understood the Fletch love. He's horrible. Ackroyd carried him thru Spies Like Us.

Yellow dog doesn’t know what planet he’s on

[strangulation! 1716]

yellow dog and madolyn smith were the highlights of that movie

Just watched the 1966 (Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor) treatment of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

What a wild ride. Fantastic acting. Almost a psychological thriller and extremely experimental and dramatic, as plays oft are. 

Check out, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.

The original of course. Bette Davis' greatest performance IMO. 

[Stringer 1438]

I have no interest in MMA and in fact find it quite stupid.  That said, if you put Warrior in front of me, I'm locked in until the end.  Happened again last night.  Unbelievable movie.  Super emotional father/son/brother storyline with interesting reveals throughout.

Edgerton, Hardy and Nolte (especially Nolte) are all really good.  It's 2hrs 20min, but moves the whole time.  Love it.

[The Original Greaser Bob 2831]

Nyad (2023)

Jesus H. Christ.  I'm getting old and my skin is losing its vibrancy but whatever this overlong thing was trying to say, it got lost due to the overwhelming sucks getting old reminder.

Man Funny Farm wasn't bad when you are 7.

The 1960s were a strange time. The opening scene had Janis Joplin performing at a charity event. This was really, odd.

Can’t ignore a cameo appearance by the Grateful Dead about halfway in. This shit is strange.

[BrazilHorn 6599]

Watched “Gimme Danger” last night, documentary about band “The Stooges”. 
really good, deep dive into their history.

 

[Mach 1 1677]

The Martian. It’s a movie I always stop to watch when scrolling. It’s fantastic beginning to end.

Team America Matt Damon always cracks me up, but the dude was outstanding in this movie. 

Edited November 18, 2023 by Mach 1
I’m aware I’m referencing a puppet, assholes.

[Post Oak 20213]

Read the book a few years back and just got around to watching this.  Really good.

[CooterBrown 18010]

I liked Foul Play and Modern Problems but I haven’t seen either since I was probably 15.

Same.

After a long week, did I need to stay up until midnight and watch Matt Damon stuck on Mars for the 15th time? Of course not.

Did I have a great time? You bet your ass I did.

Two things about the opening scene stay with me. The background music as the staff car and escort bikes slowly wind up the road in a pristine pastoral valley was “The Green Grass of Summer.”  This was a theme featured in The Alamo (John Wayne), which shocked me as a young kid as my first images of death in battle, not Disneyfied Fess Parker, my boyhood idol.

Next and most vividly, the camera zooming down through the floorboard gaps to reveal, as they came into focus, the eyes of those hidiyin the cellar.

Give me a QT film any day.

[Bama Llama 1450]

Here’s an interesting one from 1968 for Taylor/Burton fans.  Liz was in her early 40s and still so vicious and gorgeous and Burton appeared to be drunk in most scenes a la Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Noel Coward has a cool cameo as the Witch of Capri. Fine cinematography. It was and has been panned but IDGAF, I liked it.  BOOM!

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Watched I, Tonya on a plane flight yesterday. I saw it at home back pre pandemic but remember being fairly distracted with other stuff. Robbie was great in that movie, as was Allison Janney. The dude who played Shawn Eckhardt and then went on to play Richard Jewell just constantly cracked me up when he was in a scene.

Just recasting Patrick McGoohan would make it a win/win.

My buddy produced it. I’ve seen it like 7 times. Patrick Stewart is awesome.

I’ve been meaning to see that forever. Thanks for the Max tip. 

[CooterBrown 18010]

Spy Game. Surprisingly, I’d never seen this movie. It was okay. Script is clunky but pretty typical for its era.

Some of the plot made zero sense.

Example: there’s a battle raging throughout the city.
Sheik: “MOVE UP MY ANNUAL
PHYSICAL! I MUST HAVE IT WITHIN THE HOUR!”

[texasdago 7573]

Watched The Creator last night.  Really good movie, exceptional special effects and the way it ends is on brand with the Director of Rogue One.  I'm a little confused on part of the premise of the movie but in the end I thought it was a great watch.
