Been listening to the "Rewatchables" over on the ringer... gone through most of them now. A panel reviews old movies and talks about what they like, dislike, what still works, what's aged... errr... I'm doing it a disservice. Mostly it's just entertaining and funny.

" old movies". Hahaha. I thought you meant movies from the 30's-50's!!Originally posted by heyelander View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

A Star is Born pretty solid 7.5/10 because the final third dragged a bitIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

it's not easy to find decent scifi movies. saw (2016) 5th wave. it got bad reviews but i give it a thumbs up. good acting, 55 million to make. aliens invade earth and the hunger games and divergent crowd meets red dawn and the invasion.Comment

Tried watching a ton of horror movies for the month, but only managed about 12. Highlights were Revenge, a simple tale of a woman abused and left for dead taking... vengeance. Seen it before many times, but there's enough twists to make it feel fresh. Loved Upgrade. Upgrade has a lot of fun sci fi elements, super cool ending. Fave horror movie of the season.
Also cannot say enough good things about Sorry To Bother You. It's a crazy story dark comedy in the vein of Brazil. Avoid spoilers. I'm really glad I knew nothing going in.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment

I watched "The Prestige" and "Children of Men" this weekend, highly recommend if you have never seen either"You know what's wrong with America?

Saw "On the Basis of Sex" last night at a film festival. It doesn't come out until Christmas so maybe I'll post a reminder then, but it was fantastic.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

"The Prestige" is one of my favorite movies. Watching David Bowie in the role of Nikola Tesla was a nice surprise in a movie full of surprises. I'll have to look for the other movie.Originally posted by Fresno Bob View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

i finally watched the movie The Survivalist 2015. that's a fucked up movie. i don't even know what i'd compare it to. it's kind of DayZ-like but minus the zombies. it's like The Road but minus the cannibalism. not a lot of graphic violence, but it's a harsh flick.Comment

United Kingdom 1 million budget. i watched it 3-4 days ago but im still trying to process it. in the apocalyptic world that the movie portrayed, the writing or the script it was just so accurate. i think. it's a raw movie. looks sort of Australian.Originally posted by Fresno Bob View PostComment
