My dad told me yesterday that he used to go to the movies every Friday with a couple of friends but for a while now they have just done dinner instead because no movies worth seeing. Smart man.

I think one of the essential elements of many Dustin Hoffman characters is that he is not bad looking, but also very definitely not good lookingtragabigzanda wrote:Effron could be, but he’s too pretty and is cast as such

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
I'm going to be well and truly pissed if the big Regal Cinemas don't start showing Cyrano soon. I don't even want to see the movie but they made me watch that goddamn trailer at least fifteen times over the last six months and if they don't even end up showing the movie at all I am going to be so mad!

The Beetlejuice movie randomly popped up today and I noticed it's named after the villain. What are some other movies named after the villain?

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
Amazing how well the CGI has (mostly) held up in the original, 29 year old Jurassic Park.
That T-Rex scene, with the ripples in the glass of water, has some as iconic sci-fi imagery as you get in cinematic history. I know, that was a mix of CGI and practical effects.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
Tombstone is enjoyable and mostly good but to me there is a noticeable drop off after the shoot out at the creek. While somewhat historically accurate Dana Delaney’s plot line could have been greatly reduced if not cut entirely.
I think every guy in our age range likes that movie though.

Maybe before the movie came out. Kristen Stewart tends to get hate from everyone whose brain is still stuck in "Twilight bad" mode

Can the same be said about Pattinson on both accounts? Definitely on the former, but I also feel like I recall he’s fairly private.
