  1. I don’t know how this got by me - because I try to watch any documentary of note - but there is a doc on Max called “Life of Crime 1984-2020” that is one of the realest and grittiest docs I’ve ever seen. The guy spends 36 years with three career criminals. There are Parts 1 and 2 as well if you want to see more content from the earlier years - but the latest “version” is the collection of everything and how it all ends. Absolutely heartbreaking and reminds you of those types of docs HBO used to commission back in the 80s. Absolute can’t miss.

  2. yeah, that was pretty crazy, reminiscent of the film crew that just happened to be documenting FDNY at that gas leak when the first plane hit. 

    Also reminds me of Capturing the Friedman’s. Dude is doing a documentary on a clown and falls in to one of the craziest true crime stories ever.

  3. Rose Byrne is out of control hilarious in Spy, the Melissa McCarthy movie. Her and Statham make that movie great.

    I ran into Bobby Canavale at LegoLand. Told him I enjoyed his work and asked him to tell Rose how amazing she was in Spy. I’m sure it was never passed on but I like the idea that it was and it made her happy for a moment.

    I agree with this 100%. I use “that’s a stupid fucking retarded toast, you’re delightful” as much as possible.

  4. Following back up on this post, since I think eastern asian film is a treasure trove of under-watched movies, here's a a couple that are worth watching, imo
    Love Exposure  (this is a four hour long batshit crazy movie that blew me away)
    Fallen Angels (Wong Kar-Wai that you didn't list)
    Ichi the Killer and Audition (Takashi Miike)
    Here's the S Korean thread
    An old post I made ranking those movies, although I've probably seen some since

  5. F1 with the Dolby audio was epic.

    I don’t know where you guys are going with all the audience interruptions. People on their phones can happen and I’ve experienced some talking (especially during horror movies) but it’s been pretty rare. My theater of choice is AMC Clear Fork in Fort Worth which might be part of it. Newer theaters are so loud - it would be hard to hear someone talking. Not to mention there is a decent amount of spaces between the rows.

    The theater experience for me and my family has always been something we love. I’ll pay the costs - keep the doors open. Bring back the boutique theater experience as well.

  6. Don't have AMC where I am...what is that? Like a pass for 12 movies a month?  i LOVE movies and going to the theatre, but not sure even I could do that, lol
     

    It’s actually 16 movies a month - they just changed it. I pay $24/month and can see up to 4 movies a week at any AMC theater. Additionally I can skip the concessions line and get discounts (small but they add up) on food. It’s a ridiculously good deal imo.

    Only issue with me is finding movies I want to see. I live closest to the Clear Fork AMC in Fort Worth - which is a great theater A/V wise but they hate showing anything that’s not mainstream. I don’t even think they had Sinners opening week? Let’s have 12 screens showing Lilo and Stitch or whatever instead.
  7. Agreed, but that wasn’t my point. Long > Alley. There was no perfect solution.

    As I mentioned earlier in this thread ai believe - Diane is one of the best characters in TV history imo. Shelley Long was perfect in that role.
