Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Crap.

Was just kidding earlier, guys.

Original is superior.

I like it better for De Niro and the look back to the old days since I'm Italian and my grandparents came over and lived during that era. Overall, I'd love to watch it in order with De Niro's scenes first then segue into part one. Some network used to do that I think. Maybe Bravo idk.

My mom told me about that, it's called the Godfather Saga, where the scenes jump from the movies and are shown chonologically rather than how they appear on film.

Interesting idea, and I believe it was Bravo, yes.

^^^ My Dad had a chron order version when I was a kid. It was on like 4 or 5 VHS tapes (it is not lost on me that there are probably people on this board who've never seen a VHS tape). I'm pretty sure Francis Ford cut that version together himself. I bet it's available on DVD or Blu if you look hard enough for it.

Just watched Savages

had its decent moments but it was way too ******g long.

Also watched Hesher, dark comedy, decent movie.

Agree about Savages.

Loved Hesher. The speech at the end killed me.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

I know it's mentioned here once but Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly is ******g hilarious Son is like a better Jack Black x10. I wish he did more comedies.

new season of the killing has been on point , recommend it

You're being fooled my man. I bet the season started with a lot of interesting characters you want to know about, a compelling new case or murderer or w/e and it's good enough that Holder/Holden and the chick can keep you watching. Don't worry, just wait until they bring out the red herring brigade.

My wife and I watch Along Came Polly all the time. We LOVE PSH in that movie. Everything, every, single, word is classic.

The basketball scene alone should have won an Oscar.
Hank Azaria was great in it as well, even with the ridiculous accent.

Whole movie is underrated as hell to me. I'm not a huge Stiller guy, but that one was solid.

The art opening/party scene, including the ride up to the party on the elevator. PSH is gold. Absolute gold.

 

[CP1708]

Wife and I laugh every single time when he tells Ruben e sharted and Ruben is like "what"? And PSH is like moving back and forth, so uncomfortable, putting his hand up to his forehead, stepping back, then walking forward again.

"I'm your wingman, I'll be right here all night"..........Ruben turns and he's gone.

am the only one that likes spiderman 1 more than 2? defoe was aweesome as the green goblin.

1 was really good. Really good.

But 2.....the train scene. Doc Ock's trouble causing, the stuff with Harry, I just always think of 2 as the more solid picture. And the train scene, with them carrying him above them and the little kid telling him we won't tell......to me, that just made the movie that much better. I wouldn't be upset with anyone having it the opposite, just a list I threw together in 3 minutes.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Honestly I forgot about that train scene. Good call that really was awesome to see. I think I just like the GG more than Doc Oc and Dunst was fresh if you will in 1 and by 2 I just had enough of her.

It's a good list overall. You do that all day Batman binge yet?

Oh and I can't wait for that ****** tossing scene in the Wolf of WS. Always wanted to do that sadly lol.

 

[CP1708]

Not yet, but I have a week off the first week of July, I'm thinkin about some stuff I could get thru. We'll see.

The day will come eventually.

On a somewhere sadder/but happier note, my nephew was put in prison almost 6 years ago for a car accident that involved some others being injured. In our state, we have something called measure 11 which means no judge can rule on anything, the punishment is the same across the board. So he was given 70 months, period. Nothing we could do, if he went to trial, coulda been worse.
He had just turned 18 when he went in, and in 4 months, he gets out. One of the things I told him I would do while he was in was compile a list of stuff he'll want to see when he gets home. So come late October, I'll probably need to clear my schedule again to watch a bunch of stuff with him and get him "caught up". One of the last things he did before he went in was watch Transformers in the theatre with me.

My dude wants to get on NT when he gets out too.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

you're a good dude for doing that CP, couldn't imagine being involved on either side. whatever happened to your dude prime too? haven't seen him since we did the drafts

 

[CP1708]

He lurks, but he has a little guy to look after now, keeps him pretty busy. He and I talk couple times a week tho. He saw Supes opening morning and was waitin for me to see it to chop it up.

 

[MetalMario]

nice CP.

speaking of Chron orders, If you bought the latest special edition of Memento it has a version of it where the movie plays in Chron order if you were confused at all.

any links on exactly what happened in The Departed, who was bad, or actually good in the end who was in whose pockets etc etc? always in debate when it's brought up to what I think. tryna win some bar bets

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I don't remember seeing this. Here's the extended trailer for Elysium.






A relative got to see this in an advanced screening of Touchy Feely & she liked it. Glad to see Allison Janney look less homely...






I love Leon: The Professional since the first day I saw it in theaters. Just saw the audition tape of then 11 year old Natalie Portman. Her performance in the movie is incredible.

Trailer for Salinger - the long awaited documentary about the reclusive author - http://wp.me/p2CCWq-369

I've been meaning to reread Catcher In The Rye for the longest time. I've been eyeing it up on my book shelf for a while now (every time I pass it - like it watches me walk by). Can't wait to see this doc. It seems like a maligned film, but I liked Finding Forrester partly because Sean Connery's character is loosely based on Salinger.

i think i just heard jd groan in his grave. dude was my favorite writer and as much as I crap on Catcher and Holden for being labeled this obscenely amazing piece of God's flesh, that novel, along with his lesser known works, really molded my writing style early on. will watch this documentary, but i'll feel bad for doing so.

Why would you feel bad about watching this doc? Are you that much the disciple of his?

I can't imagine what he wrote &/or how much he wrote once he became reclusive. Kinda sad to think what kind of classics may lie within his library which most likely will never see the light of day.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

na def not a disciple but it's like the dude had one wish, to be left alone, so i kinda feel bad being one of those phonies that sees something because his name's on it.

he supposedly wrote a lot of nutrition and medical stuff but idk how true that is. would love to read his hidden works. jd was obsessed with this family he created, the Glass's, and I got a feeling there's a decent chunk of stuff about them written about as well.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Maybe I should give Catcher in the Rye another read as well. I remember hating it when I had to read it in high school. At the time, I felt I couldn't relate to Holden Caulfield at all and just found him annoying. I'd like to see how the adult, more experienced version of myself will respond to it.

I understand. For me it's been years since he passed away so I think it's ok for this doc to come out. I would be against his non-published worked coming out because I know how adamant he was that it never see the light of day.

I guess you had a well adjusted upbringing

Catcher seems to have resonated with the disenfranchised youth. I do find it odd that all these killers (serial & other types) & famous assassins were found to have multiple copies of the book (obsessive amounts) when authorities have searched their homes. :x

Thoughts on Human Centipede 1 & 2

Heard it was nice is it worth watching

I'm a fan.

Comedies don't get proper criticism. It's like they get lumped in with each other. Especially non rated R ones.

defoe killed it as the green goblin.

Along Came Polly fans, did y'all like of Duplex as well?

I'm about to fill the BWE void with the Untouchables series

all 4 seasons are on youtube

 

[lawdog1]

Along Came Polly fans, did y'all like of Duplex as well?

Not really. Duplex was ok, but not something worth multiple watches. Plus, like CP said, it's really PSH and (to a far lesser extent) Hank Azaria that make Along Came Poly, not Stiller. Duplex doesn't have any equivalent secondary character.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I think the character that I enjoy the least on TV these days, the President Logan award if you will, is Raj from the Big Bang Theory. Everything about him bothers me.
