What movies are you watching?

[doug rr]

there will never be a better road action movie than Duel

Max Max Fury Road would like a word!

pff..please

[epilogue]

Speed is a nearly perfect action movie, isn't it? I hadn't watched it since I was a kid and kind of wrote it off as 90s shlock but I just gave it a watch and was thoroughly impressed by about 80% of it. The fight atop the subway train is the only part where the filmmaking really lets it down. Everything else is so well executed even when it's being extremely stupid

You wrote it off as 90s shlock when you were a kid?

No, I wrote it off as 90s schlock as a grownup based on my recollection of watching it as a kid

Agree with Doug. The tension and simplicity of it.

would be cool if Duel was a kind of Mad Max orogin story..that could work

Decided to rewatch alien 3 for the first time in 10-15 years. Still sucks.

They tried using WHIPPETS to play the XENOMORPHS in Alien 3

Oh the road to Alien 3 is a fascinating one. That’s from a YouTube documentary were they tell the whole story with all the involved ones sans of course Fincher and other guys.

To think Vincent Ward was about to start directing this one !! William Gibson and also the guy from Pitch Black wrote other scripts

I also recommend the great Halloweenies podcast about the series and this entry in particular.

I don’t hate Red Dragon as much as everyone else. It’s a bad movie but the individual performances are mostly great, especially Hoffman and Emily Watson, whom I find mesmerizing

Let’s remake it

Will Graham: Argo
Hannibal Lecter: Argo
Francis Dolarhyde: Argo
Reba McLane: Knee Tunes
Jack Crawford: Argo
Freddie Lounds: Argo
Frederick Childton: Argo

I'm down

Internal Affairs...the white version. It was pretty good. Gere plays a good d-bag.

Back to the Future 2


Was it always this bad?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Back to the Future 2


Was it always this bad?

Probably.

[epilogue]

Back to the Future 2


Was it always this bad?

Yes, it was. But now we're supposed to all say it's so much better than anyone remembered and it's possibly the best of the trilogy. 3 sucks now.

[dimejinky99]

Back to the future is the best.

II and III are completely unnecessary.

They shouldn't have mad them The original is perfect on its own.

2 is too messy. I hate the 2015 segment

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I enjoy them. 2 is the one everyone always shits on, right?

It used to be. The Great Culture is in the midst of a Grand Revision. Turns out 2 has always been secretly brilliant and 3 has always been utter garbage.

I don't make the rules.
