Latest Movie That You Watched!

Flash Gordon (1980). Doesn't look a whole lot different than a 1930 Flash Gordon (effects wise). How much coke were these cats on? Great flick to watch at 4:20 am. Saw this as a young boy and thought it looked lame even back then. But, just as I had back then, I found Ornella Muti (Ming's daughter) just about too hot for words.

Heh heh, ol Freddy could sing about anything and make it sound cool. Loved Queen's soundtrack to Highlander, too.

After seeing King Kong and then Flash Gordon, i resolved to never trust Dino di Laurentis again. And yes, he's made money for our Gracious Host. I give him credit for that. Didn't much care for those movies, either, though.

Far From the Madding Crowd - absolutely lovely

It was a mystery/thriller on Netflix called Private Number. I thought it was a decent movie, it took me until the end to figure out whodunit.

You say true, I say thankee. Except for the original Conan the Barbarian. I still love that flick.

I'll probably be banned forever but -we just watched the Harold and Kumar Christmas movie.And once I discovered it was originally in 3-D I made David wait while I dug out the 3d glasses and then asked him to start the movie over ( if you are going to throw anything at me please make it Christmas cookies).

I'll remember this one. Thanx.

You're banned forever from anything.

Naked Lunch. Unnecessarily bizarre. The presence of major stars (Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, Julian Sands, Roy Scheider) fails to reduce societies' lack of need for it.

Burroughs was a pretty bizarre guy, as was the book.

Watched the first two Jessica Jones on Netflix. Pretty good, so far. I completely missed her as a comic character (must have been popular after I was reading new books), so I've gone in without heavy expectations.

Book vs movie is another thing. I'd be interested in finding out what the original story is.

Here's the Wiki on it. It has a decent summary. Naked Lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And here's an NPR article that's pretty good, too:Burroughs' 'Naked Lunch,' Still Fresh At 50 : NPR

Have you not read the book Blunthead? There really isn't an original story that I can recall. It's just a dope fiend's insane stream of consciousness. There's a lot of talk about effluvium and having to stick an apple corer up your...up your...ahh, well, just due to constipation from opiates.

I haven't seen the movie, but if it was unnecessarily bizarre it sounds like an accurate adaptation.

That being said, I kind of liked the book. Sort of. Not going to give it a glowing recommendation, but I liked it better than On the Road.

Last movie I watched was the first Toy Story. Haven't seen it in a few years. Man, it held up way better than I expected. Funny, dark, and the animation still looks great for the first computer-animated movie, and one that's twenty years old.

I also picked up the Hobbit, the original cartoon, from Target and the damn thing skips. I just removed it from the package! How does that happen? It's unwatchable.

Of course not.

Have you read the book yourself? Just curious.

I have, years ago when I was in my hep cat phase--lol. I'm not a huge fan of Burroughs (or other Beat Generation writers, for a variety of reasons). I think muskrat is, though.

Hmmmm?
Not a big boob-tube watcher,
Usually read while my wife watches ( TV that is)
Indiana jones first movie was recently on so I guess that'd be the one,
Although, just parts here and there as I peek up from my kindle,
