Yeah, they show it Mon-Fri on MeTv @ 2am and 2:30am depending on how long the movies they air before that run.

It's cool but to me that seems way more dated than TZ. You can tell it's a 70s production. Plus I grew to love the black and white of TZ so I don't care for it being in color. The concept for the show is very cool. Some of the stories are even way more out there. I can kinda see why it wasn't a hit like TZ.

Rod Serling aint lost it in the least though

I see where you're coming from. But it's still entertaining as hell. Definitely in my top 5.

Anybody watch internal affairs? It's the Chinese film it's based off of. pretty good too but I still prefer Departed

haven't seen it but I have a hard time imagining it being better than the departed .
 
So The Danish Girl. Didn't know it was based on a real person.

It was a solid flick. I can see why Redmayne and Vikander were nominated but I didn't like the movie that much. Some rushed stuff and other things were just plain clunky.

Reasonable angle to make them artists and open the door to why they're so susceptible to that lifestyle. Seems the whole community got dark secrets like the dude that felt some type way seeing the paintings. I mean it's all a game at first with sex then the wife is the one that goes the extra mile :lol: :smh: This dude might be too fragile or mentally ill the way he wants to commit to the role playing. He really isn't fooling that many ppl at the start. Even the dudes that want to smash :lol: The first guy and that relationship got rushed quick imo. Then they bring in the doctor angle and that's when it gets really ****** up. Thought it was gonna be shock treatment but nope even worse. K.O'ed his package :smh:

They get through that quickly I guess to make this movie manly part love story and part the early years and struggles of men who believe they are women seeking help and trying to come to a conclusion and post-op surgery.

Vikander as the struggling artists wife that gotta live with her trans husband and knew she kinda ****** up but still loves him, then gets really bitter was really good. Easily the best I've see her acting wise.

Redmayne played a man struggling with his gender. A bit too confident and certain when he made the decision though but I think that radiation changed everything.

6.2/8
 
beasts of no nation 7.3/8

very impressive performance from the kid lead

elba was also great as the warlord/father figure

cinematography was amazing, the one tracking shot in the middle of the movie was incredible.

what really makes this movie stand out is how colorful it is, we are used to seeing war films from the american's perspective which is all brown and grey. in this movie everything was full of vibrant color from the costume design to the set design to the camera filters. 
 
^That's why I love the look of war movies about Vietnam.

Apocalypse Now, Rescue Dawn, even Platoon have a very different vibrant look.

Beasts of No Nation had that in spades. Even more different than what the American audience is use to.
 
Bridge of Spies was really really good. Wish I saw it back in theaters.

Just a good film about the cold War with spies, failed ops, and justice. The transitions with editing and the cutting certain scenes t the right point and the entire pacing while juggling 3 different characters/viewpoints was masterful.

Mark Rylance was great. I wish the movie found a way to have more of his character in it. So off kilter and unusual but so calm. Real cool character :pimp: If it wasn't for the Sly stuff I'd say he would win. "You're not worried?" "Would it help?" 8)

Hanks was his regular old stellar self. This may have been a bit of him playing himself though. Still good and centered and drove the story when needed.

Another dope flick to add to Spielberg's list.

6.9/8

Heat
Training Day
Collateral
LA Story
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Valley Girl
Karate Kid
Boyz N the Hood
Friday

And those are just a few more off the top of my head and just set in SoCal. There's also a ton of movies that take place shot/ in SF/Bay Area. Basically, there's so many iconic movies that were shot in California that its kind of ridiculous to even try and single one out as the "most famous."

Almost watched this last night, but went with something else. Definitely going to check it out.
 
Steve Jobs was pretty good.

Well acted, great cast. Naturally, superbly written.

Format was interesting. Cut out all the fat and any possible boring parts. Also took out transitional stuff or what is sometimes seen as necessary pauses or those quiet sequences most movies have. So approaching with 3 acts was different.

My only concern/problem with it was this seemed way more like a Sorkin film than a movie about Steve Jobs. Like we watch The Social Network and know Mark Zuckerberg and co don't really talk like that but we can manage that due to the entertainment factor but with Steve Jobs it was such strong Sorkin dialogue that it didn't seem real and I know the format of the movie played a part as well. It's just dialogue took me back to those really good eps of Boston Legal where James Spader is just slaying everybody with the words. The stuff with his daughter seemed very real though.

So that also left me thinking with Fassbender's performance if he was really playing Steve Jobs and not Sorkin's Jobs. Unless Jobs and the ppl around him talked like that and argued like that.

The movie was still really good though but didn't feel authentic in that facet of it being partially about someone's life/career.

6.8/8

That nip-slip when she was prophesying about dry mouthedness, and those legs, Lord have Mercy.

".....I will never bring you water when you're thirsting in our bed, I understand dry mouthedness and will sympathize instead..." song was the cut

yeah sorkin is one of those writers where all the characters sound like him

not 100% sure but there is no way he created the ipod just because he saw his daughter with a walkman
