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

dope of NBC for releasing this, if anybody has 2 hours to kill this is kinda worth watching. 

The feels the cast went thru while doing the finale table read

Watched The Graduate today....WOW...idk what it is but younger Dustin Hoffman was that dude. Although it was a rather innocuous story, the stakes never felt higher. The story telling is so deep. Mr. Feeny was in there doing his thing also. I would write a full review, but there really isn't anything I can say about this movie that hasn't been said ad nauseum.
 
Just finished American Hustle.

On the strength of Coop & J.Law in Silver Linings and you guys not saying it was utterly terrible, I saw it.

They both owe me 2 hours of my life. :lol:

Not holding you guys accountable because you warned me not to set my expectations too high.

thanks for the responses

basically what I did before asking was find a list of imdb top 250 movies on netflix instant and add them all to my list. a lot of pre-70s stuff there.

i guess I should have asked more specifically if i should start with silent films, but I think I'm gunna start with 50s/60s flicks.
Chinatown is also back on there too. Another classic and one of the greatest screenplays ever written.
Just got done watching Chinatown. Thought it was a good movie, but I think I had too much of a numbness to the dark themes of the movie. I think if I'd seen it in the 70's it would have hit me much differently.

I'm also upset that I had no idea what year the movie was set in the whole time until I looked it up after

. I think if I knew this was taking place in a time where LA was still the wild west and was still being built up, Cross' character would have been different to me. 

edit: it is however disturbing me more and more when I realize what the monster was hunting for Evelyn's daughter for, and he got her in the end.

The majority in this thread said it was awful. There's 2-3 people in here that liked that piece of ****

I watched it last weekend and was very disappointed.  It wasnt THAT bad, but it wasnt nearly as good as people i know made it out to be...
 
I could never get into The Office. I wanted to. I gave it several tries but it was uber vanilla to me. :rolleyes

Update on QT's Hateful Eight.


Quentin Tarantino Casting & Directing Live Read Of Leaked Script 'The Hateful Eight'

With his lawsuit against Gawker over their linking to his leaked script "The Hateful Eight" ongoing (a trial date is set for January 27, 2015) and the status of whether or not this will actually be his next movie or not up in the air (he said it was shelved, but later rumors surfaced he was still rewriting it), Quentin Tarantino has decided to roll out the western in its first, legal airing. And you better hope you have a couple hundreds bucks to spare and can make it to Los Angeles.

Film Independent at LACMA has announced that Tarantino will cast and direct a live read of the script for one night only on Thursday, April 24th. Tarantino will set the mood with stage directions and other cues, with a group of yet-to-be-announced actors filling out the roles. Will any of the folks like Bruce Dern, Christoph Waltz and Tim Roth, rumored for parts in the movie, show up? Here's a new synopsis, revealed in the press release:

The Hateful Eight follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistru****l group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere.

Tickets will set you back $200 and you can click here for the details. And be sure to read our feature, Black Night, White Hell: A Look At Quentin Tarantino’s 'The Hateful Eight' Western for more about the unmade movie.

 The Office is definitely a show you either love or hate.  Many of my friends cant stand it, or don't think its funny at all.

I didn't hate it. It had a great cast. It just didn't appeal to me, in fact a lot of NBC's sitcoms never appealed to me like Seinfeld & especially Friends. I think part of the issue is that I worked outside of the country for a great deal of the 90s so I didn't get to watch those programs when they were on & if I saw a rerun, I was just like Meh...

looks like I might be on point in thinking it may be an "And Then There Were None" theme.  I can't wait for whatever comes out

I know Tarantino is a Gunsmoke fan and this sounds like a few episodes merged together

Seinfeld didnt appeal to you??  i can understand the office and friends not, but seinfeld? 
mean.gif
  That's my favorite sitcom of all time, and many peoples too i suppose.  Have you ever watched curb your enthusiasm?  I have friends that don't like seinfeld that absolutely loved curb, i love both.
 
Seinfeld is universally hailed as a top five sitcom of all time, many many lists have it at number one...I mean if you didn't like it I guess you ain't like it, but I honestly can't see why you wouldn't.

I happen to love both shows too, but can understand why someone wouldn't. Both offer a type of humor that's not going to resonate with everyone. Some people watch Seinfeld and think, `these people are just ***** holes; they're not funny.` But a-holes or not, I find the stuff they do hilarious.
 
I'm convinced that people like Seinfeld because they're supposed to.

Yes, I've seen it. Lots. Seen all the episodes that have followed the phrase "You HAVE to see" ("No soup for you!", 'master of your domain', etc.).

Meh. :\

Joey and Rachel could've been the same dynamic if not better. Maybe it's Schwimmer, maybe it's the way Ross is written, but that's the only qualm I have with that show. Not a fan of him.
 
I love Seinfeld, but I might love Curb more. Just for the fact that it's on a premium channel in HBO, content tends to be a bit edgier.

Ross was definitely my least favorite character. Schwimmer's best work was Band of Brothers or Madagascar :lol: .

 Agree, though he had minimal screen time he nailed that character imo.  Sobel!

Im gonna try and really watch Seinfeld and Curb one day, but yeah...The Office season 2-4 were everything. Had me dying on the cold open. Hell, I learned what a "cold open" was just so I could figure out how The Office has me dying before the show even really starts.

Michael, Dwight and Jim are forever.
