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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 is a great idea 

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