Latest Movie That You Watched!

[muskrat]

A few days ago I watched The Founder on Netflix (danie, I think, suggested it) and I enjoyed it much more than I expected. It has a 'cold open' where Michael Keaton's character is in a close-up giving a sales pitch and from that moment on I was involved.
This morning I watched Wind Across the Everglades (1958). An Audubon Society agent (Christopher Plummer) fights a poacher (Burl Ives) of plume birds in early 1900s Florida. I liked it. Have you seen this, muskrat? It had the feel of a lost Disney film or something like Long Hot Summer.

Nope. Saw it was on, buncha Burl Ives flicks on TCM the other day. I like how ol Burl could be Mr. Holly Jolly X-Mas one minute, be stone cold evil the next.

Long Hot Summer felt like a lost Disney film to you? We talkin about that same Faulkner flick with Paul Newman? Ol Cool Ranch Luke slathered over a heaping helping of Southern fried Orson Welles? A'yuh, I saw it. I guess it's like a Disney flick, with every body sweating and drinking all over the place. About as Disney as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Which, all things considered, is pretty Disney by today's standards.

No, the Everglades flick.

Dr. Strange. I'd seen it on the plane and through Grandma would like it.

I was right. It was fine. Good diversionary visual entertainment.

Gerald's Game, on the flix...have to say I liked it

Tell you what, gramps, if you dig some 'diversionary visual entertainment', I suggest you read some Steve Ditko original Dr. Strange comics. Some of the trippiest sequential storytelling/artwork, from a guy who probably never did a single drug in his life. A real hard Ayn Rand-er, ol Steve. A paradox, if you will...proof that life is without a set mental assessment. If you will, that is.

Tell gramma I said hey.

My son and I LOVED the first Kingsman movie. Looking forward to seeing the sequel.

I didn't see the first one, didn't even know this was a sequel when I watched it.... the movie was hysterical, I loved it. Let me know what you guys think when you do see it.

I definitely will, going to try to see it this coming weekend.

Blade Runner 2049 - muddled story, horrid score, bum-numbingly long. A complete disappointment. Some call it a masterpiece, not me though.

Gerald's Game. Mweh...

Thanks for that! I feel justified to go completely mental now.

You said bum instead of the more apt, butt, tail, money-maker, or Bisquick Pancake, so I'm assuming you live North of the Mason/Dixon line. So maybe it's subtleties were lost in translation? I sure hope so. Was it less good or better in your opinion than say, the Weekend at Bernie's films? Mannequin 2? Breakin' 2, Electric Boogaloo?

The Dark Tower, again, on DVD.
I like the movie a lot.

I actually rolled my eyes at the previews for this. Thanks for the validation. I'm not against remakes, in general, but at least improve upon the original movie. Speaking of the original, I liked it. I think it's a memorable movie and thought-provoking. Did you think it was silly?

The original Flatliners is a GREAT movie.

How did you achieve this? The movie isn't supposed to be released until Oct. 31st.

Amazon sent it to me.
I wasn`t even aware of the release date..
Maybe a glitch on their part?
Dunno, they`ve sent the DVD/Blu-Ray combo and I`m not complaining.

What kind of extra's are there? Amazon lists nothing, not even anything about deleted scenes.

I saw Blade Runner 2049, I love the original and this is getting fantastic reviews but I thought it kind of sucked. As did my brother and sister-in-law and was the general feeling I got from the tire-looking, frowning/mumbling crowd as we left. So I know I wasn't alone in the feeling The opening scene was great but after that I thought it was just a convoluted mess. Some bullcrap about replicant Jesus or something. It might have been a lot better if they'd trimmed it down because it really dragged and at one point just sort of turns into a nerd porno.

Tire looking?!! Now really that's insulting. Comparing people to tires. Even Goodyear radials that are fairly expensive. That just ain't right.

So much about your post scares me. And here's a tip fat boy (Not personal! his profile pic is Dynamo from The Running Man. He's fat! A TERRIBLE movie btw. Although I like it.), if smarter people than you like something, pretend to like it too. That's herd mentality 101. Oh! And don't say you went with your "brother and sister-in-law". Dude, for sooo many reasons that doesn't read well. Not well at all. Change it to, my pretty, bookish, but not beautiful girlfriend and her non-threatening male friend! Man, I wish Roger Ebert were still alive. As film criticism goes, he was like 'the idiot whisperer'. He was able to reveal nuisance to the rabble -- so that 'joe lunch pails' like you & I could awake from our stupor and fully grasp the beauty of film. But anyway, if smart people like it, pretend to like it too. Learn how to pretend.

I grasped the visual beauty of it but I need more from a movie than pretty colors to stare at for 3 hours.

there's such a thing as taking a joke too far you know. maybe you should shoot for subtlety.

saw Kingsman: The Golden Circle last week. i liked it, but i felt it was missing at least some of the magic of the original. i couldn't quite put my finger on it, just the feeling i got from watching it.
