  1. Aww thanks. He got into Stephen King a few years back and he convinced me to rent the new It (both parts), even though I hated watching horror movies back then. Fast forward a few years and I don't draw the line at much, mainly gratuitous sex. The most awkward scene we've ever seen together is the sex scene in Beau is Afraid. And we saw Oppenheimer a few weeks ago. IYKYK.


    I saw Midsommar at the theater with my older daughter when she was 15. That was the most cringe experience I think we’ve had. Eesh.

    BTW, as the single father to two horror movie loving daughters, I’m down to make a really f’d up Brady Bunch if you are.
  2. Mahomes is amazing. I like watching him play. He’s tough as shit. His brother is an annoying shit and I hope he goes to prison for decades. His wife is an annoying shitbag as well.

    My family and his Mom’s family have grown up together through several generations out in Troup. I grew up around her but was never close. Facebook friends etc.

    CSB - but the point I want to make, if you saw the environment he came from you would have even more respect for the guy. Absolutely amazing he’s not a total shitbag.
  3. Not sure how I missed this when it came out.   Directed by Taika Waititi, but it had a strong Wes Anderson vibe, which I really liked.  
    Heavy topic, but a few good laugh out loud moments.  
    Particularly the Yorki character...(spoiler below)

    “We landed on the moon!” Gif.
  4. The D-Day landing was the beginning of what might have been a great war movie. It turns into an action movie after that. Entertaining but no longer realistic.
    Kubrick's Paths of Glory and Full Metal Jacket easily surpass Saving Private Ryan. The last words of Tom Hanks leading to the final shot are pure Spielberg cornball. He's a brilliant filmmaker but lacks any sort of worldview.
    I envy his skills and catalog, but he, to me, is no giant of cinema. Jaws is his best movie.

    I’ve watched the first half of Full Metal Jacket countless times, second half not so much.

    Saying SS is not a giant of cinema is a bold statement.

    Raiders
    Schindler’s List
    SPR
    Jaws
    Jurassic Park
    ET
    Close Encounters

    That is a hell of a resume.

  5. Bone Tomahawk.  I didn't know anything about it going in.  Wow.

    Haha - I love seeing reactions to this movie. Last 30 minutes is….jarring. I’m a big fan. I actually think it’s better on the second viewing.

    I’d you haven’t seen S. Craig Zahler’s other work definitely check out Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cellblock 99.
  6. i wanna see old school oompa loompas.  they were the best part.  cgi famous face oompas doesn't do it for me.
     
     
    oompa loompa doopity do.  murdering children is good for you.  this german fat kid is going to drown.  that will turn our frowns upside down.

    The dwarfs of the world should be shouting bullshit. Opportunities are limited as it is - CGI’ing oompa loompas is a kick in their crowded teeth.

  7. Watching T2 right now for this first time in decades.  Woof.  Damn near every line that kid says is horrid.  He’s got to be the worst actor in any $100mm movie ever.  

    Damn near ruins the movie for me. Just awful.
  8. Really enjoyed X, but Pearl was incredible. I can’t remember a horror movie performance that was more worthy of an Oscar nomination with the exception of Toni Collette in Hereditary.

    Absolutely insane that neither were nominated.

  9. “Let’s just write something kinda like Lost where our viewers will be invested in what the hell jt all means.”

    “So how do we end it?”

    “Doesn’t matter, it will get cancelled before we get there. Just keep pumping out clues that lead to nothing.”

  10. This will be the last season of The Other Two

    My first reaction when I hear “toxic work environment” when it comes to Hollywood writing rooms is entitled brats that wouldn’t last 2 weeks at SNL. The reality seems to be that a lot of these sets do, in fact suck ass to work at, and a lot of it does come from SNL culture. Sounds like the two creators Sarah and Chris are dicks. I read somewhere that Tina Fey called them out and even said Lorne has “released monsters out in the world”. Who knows if it’s really that bad. Or if that’s the reason it’s over.
  11. I've only seen season 1.
    Phenomenal.
    Somewhere along season 2 I lost track.
    There's a season 3?

    If you thought Season 1 was phenomenal, Season 2 is must see for you. I’m halfway though Season 3 and jury is still out. It’s definitely a lot different.
  12. I looked for a thread from back in the day but couldn’t find one. After hearing about this for years I finally decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did. Almost finished with Season 1 and highly recommend it for those of you who haven’t seen it. I’ve read it gets better still. This is like Criminal Minds on steroids with better writing and acting intertwined with a sophisticated Hannibal storyline. Also, how was this on NBC? This show did a truly horrifying mushrooms storyline way before The Last of Us.

  13. Went to see Mulholland Drive last night on 35 mm with Richard Green (The Magician) doing Q&A and the chick that sang the Spanish version of “Crying” hanging out as well. Very cool experience. Seen it 3-4 times through the years, but this was like seeing it for the first time. Still don’t know what tf was going on, but great flick.

  14. Spoilers of course.

    Great but not amazing ending. Pretty straight forward - if you come to terms with who you are - redeemed, if you don’t, not so much.

    Completely agree that the Jim Moss storyline made no sense. No way he gets played like that.

    We got great scenes from Fuches and Sally. Barry walking out and getting in to his car awkwardly with all that on his back was great.

    I’m satisfied, but not texting all my TV friends “holy shit”.
