Last movie you saw?

[Ar-Pharazon]

Over the past weekend, blu rays of Blues Brothers, 1941 and Blazing Saddles.

The first 2 are Universal blu rays. What a PITA those are to get going. It was literally minutes before I got into the menu on both.

Why is that?

1941 was quite a fun movie but I'm not sure what to make of the scenes involving women. It just doesn't feel right.

Why is that?

These might be the first Universal BD's I've put in this player, so IDK really. The first one seemed to be performing some sort of update to the player, despite it being updated as far as firmware. Extra level of anti-piracy would be my guess. Like it actually connects to the internet to check the authenticity of the disc?

I think Speilberg made an effort to be period accurate, similar in a way to Mel Brooks with Blazing Saddles (in a sillier way of course).

Neither movie could be made as they were then in the current day. Only Spike Lee is allowed to use the N word in a movie nowadays

I think he did try to be period accurate with everything but some of those scenes made me feel a bit uncomfortable, especially the one where he's with the woman in the plane and trying to hike her skirt up to get into her panties.

That wasn't too far out, but the army guy chasing and trying to rape the other girl, that was cringeworthy and out of place in a comedy.

I felt that way about all those scenes. I don't remember the chasing scene that well.

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

Watching all the Thin Man movies again, I have the box set!!

 

[Delta Vega]

Tonight I watched "Logan"
Very good, really enjoyed it
An adult X - Men movie

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Can I just rant a bit about Behemoth?

I mean get this a giant monster that lives under the Earth, and in the case of the movie has taken residence inside a mountain. I didn't know those things offered room and board.

Anyway seems the Government knows all about this thing and from the first few minutes of the movie an agent carrying a special briefcase is sent to dispatch it but he has an accident on the mountain and loses the case. Cue some mild drama and one of the town locals who is some kind of mountain expert helps out the agent without knowing all the details which later do come out when the monster pops its head up out of the top of the mountain. It's laughably bad but was kind of fun.

The movie ends with them finding the lost case which contains tada... A magic nuclear bazooka which they shoot into the creatures mouth killing it.

How the hell they roped William B Davis into this movie I don't know. They had him playing the crazy uncle who knew about the creature but no one cares to listen to and the town crank.

I kept thinking had they had a bigger budget this could have been an OK movie but they did what they did with what they had.

Watching All the seasons of Night Court!

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

The only thing I liked about Night Court is John Larroquette.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

had not seen it in awhile



Charles Halloway : [quoting Shakespeare] By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
Mr. Dark : Then rang the bells both loud and deep. God is not dead nor doth he sleep.
Charles Halloway : The wrong will fail, the right prevail, with peace on Earth, goodwill to men.
Mr. Dark : It's a thousand years to Christmas, Mr. Holloway.
Charles Halloway : You're wrong. It's here, in this library tonight, and can't be spoiled.

Not even the Wheeler Family? Did you have your sense of humor surgically removed or something?

Anywho, The Two Popes on Netflix. A wonderful take on the relationship between the two most recent popes.

Agreed. I found it surprisingly witty. One of Netflix's bests, IMHO.

 

[Nyotarules]

I'm watching The Irishman...its a long one

 

[Delta Vega]

Tonight I watched John Carpenter's "The Thing" for about the 10th time
It never disappoints, those special effects are nearly 40 years old now and still amazing
Kurt Russell is fucking magnificent
