The Godfather series. Am I the only one that I thinks it sucks? I've tried multiple times to watch when it is on. I assume I"m missing something and keep trying. They are zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Get through the horses head scene in one and it picks up. Two I could watch once a week.

I like The Money Pit. That is my answer to that statement.

Yes, I think you are the only one.

I guess that everything clicks with people differently. I can see how a 3 hour movie that is mostly dialogue more so than a lot of action, could be boring for people if it's not clicking with them. But I love every minute of Parts I and II.

I like to watch controversial movies. Like those that have people saying they are the best or that they are the worst. So I watched MOTHER! and First Reformed.

Mother! - Look, I really appreciated what Aronofsky was trying to do here. If you haven't seen it:

Don't read this if you plan to see the movie, although, hell, it's pretty obvious what's going on.:

Not a fan.

First Reformed - Glad to see Ethan Hawke getting attention, but I understand why he never got YOOGE. There's something a little off putting about his delivery. It works great in Sci Fi (if you haven't seen Predestination, see it). Anyway, I have some similar complaints about First Reformed as I do about mother, which I guess shouldn't be surprising considering the director. Namely:

Spoiler:

Liked the idea and some of the performances were great in both movies, but while watching both, I couldn't help but feel like the filmmakers were pretty sure I was a moron that needed to be spoon fed the point.

It’s an epic, nearly perfectly done. Talking about 1 & 2 only.

Is there really even any dialog? The main character just walks around with a dopey look on his face the whole time. I watched 10 mins of II last night. He didn't say one word. He meet some important big shots and a party. Didn't say a word. Nodded to to have some dude whacked, didn't say a word.

by **Rocinante** 2019-03-14, 16:42

Was this after his jaw was broken? Because his jaw was broken and he couldn't talk.

Not all dialogue has to be with the spoken word.

(or hell, I don't know, maybe it does need to be spoken to technically be considered dialogue, but either way, not all communication needs to be spoken).

I went and saw Apollo 11 the other day. Amazing footage. If you haven't heard, it's all with largely unseen footage, a big part of which is 70mm film from on the ground around NASA before, during, and after the launch. You don't see 50 year old footage with that kind of brilliant, better than HD quality. There's also a lot of non 70mm footage that is rare or never before public of the cockpit, the landing, etc. Put together really well to tell the story without any narrator or interviews, but just with clips of reporters and mission control effectively telling the story.

I have yet to see First Man, but I'd imagine this would be a wonderful complement to that.

Gladiator is on IFC. absolutely amazing.

I have never seen a shittier movie populated with better actors than “Terminal”. I watched the whole thing because I hoped it was going to wink at the audience at the end like “yeah, we know this is shit” but it never happened. Seriously, I’m recommending this movie because it is a fucking study of how many ways you can fuck literally everything up. Simon Pegg was good.

I was very close to watching that this past weekend. Glad you did it first.

Russell Crowe Gladiator? I watched it the other night, as well. I wasn't sure the critics/movie snobs liked this movie. It is one of my all time faves. I forgot how good it was.

I hadn't heard of it, looks a lot different than Tom Hanks' Terminal.

It kept me entertained.

by **Rocinante** 2019-03-20, 12:00

I liked it in my 20s. Less so now.

I watched "The Endless" last night. Low budget scifi. I really enjoyed it. Nothing earth shattering, but just a well done, fun scifi movie, if you're into that.

by **Rocinante** 2019-03-20, 12:02

So apparently youtube links are also not working right now.

Fix yo shit SRC!

by **Rocinante** 2019-03-20, 13:00

I never have time to go to a movie anymore, unless it's a kid's movie, but I might have to go see "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

I won't bother to put the trailer link here, because IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!

by **Rocinante** 2019-03-20, 13:21

Man I am still fucking FUMING over how fucking terrible “Terminal” was! Seriously, somebody watch it, I want to have a discussion.

Is that the one where Hanks is stuck in an airport because his country went to war or some shit? The one where he has some goofy ass accent? Yeah, that movie was shit.

NO. That's "The Terminal" This is "Terminal" and stars Margot Robbie, Mike Myers, Simon Pegg, and a couple other decent actors and is just fucking terrible.

Dear sweet Jesus, the board functionality is coming unglued. And, in a few weeks, the spring ritual where all the ads return like swans to capistrallow and we can’t exterminate them ourselves because they’re protected by forumotion and only SRC can make them go away like the plied pipler of ambolyn. But nobody can find SRC because spring is mating season and he’s off looking for a big beautiful woman to sperminate and we’re stuck, all fucked.

Eeeeehhhhhh.... Lots of swearing, quite a bit of gore. Maybe some boobs? A reference to pedo stuff. Maybe not.
