They're both great. Watching The Conversation before Enemy of the State is fun. It's sort of a spiritual sequel.Ello Sailor wrote:I'm not joking. Is Enemy of the State not solid? What the hell.

Watching Downhill Racer. Redford, Hackman and a bunch of awesome skiing footage - not a bad way to spend an evening.

I only ever read one movie novelization in my life and it was Brian De Palma's Snake Eyes.Farmer John wrote:Unfortunately, it's against my beliefs.

Have they ever done a novelization of a movie that was based on a book? That's something I'd like to read.

Re: What movies are you watching?
The collapse probably started when they made a video game based on a movie based on another video game (Street Fighter The Movie The Game.) it's been all downhill since then.

Watched the first half of The Brutalist. It's nice. Will finish some other time.
