Since the other one has hit 50 pages, time to start a new thread..


Got some other oldies to get through..  The Original Donald Sutherland Invasion of the body snatchers, followed by his remake in the mid 90s, then the crow (always a good one to watch), and finally Scanners 2.

My favorite part of Hellraiser was the song Motorhead did for it.

My favorite part of Hellraiser was the song Motorhead did for it.

I have to say, that's the best part of Hellraiser, and I think it was Hellraiser III; I did record that song off the radio.

Fire and flame tv

Saw White Christmas with one of my Friends/Brothers on the 14th, then Wonka last night.  We saw how Willy first encounters the Oompa Loompas, though not how they came to work for/with him.

The Drop. RIP James Gandolfini.

liked him in where the wild things are
wonderful acting on his part had not seen it in a while but his performance really stuck in my mind

I agree, it's lame. The best thing to come out of it was the plethora joke.

Watching Babylon 5 with my partner. Never watched it before, but I've heard a lot of good things about it throughout my lifetime. The show's CGI graphics are dated, of course, but overall, I think it's aging pretty well. I'm having fun. lol

Babylon 5 is a great show. Way better than it had any right to be.

[elf25s]

true
i think because they focused on actors like original doctor who and not on the sets to hide crappy acting or writing
admit it you really had to focus on sets and backgrounds when actors were on screen....unless script called for focusing on backgrounds as part of the story

Oppenheimer was interestingly good, and Killers of the Flower Moon was interestingly not as amazing as I had hoped. Here’s looking forward to Napoleon and Iron Claw (Zach Effron has come a long way since High School Musical and Jeremy Allen White has been a favorite since Shameless and The Bear in my house, and the Vonn Erich’s were one of the first tales of Texas lore I learned about upon moving here years ago, so I’m super excited about this movie).

[garhkal]

I've heard mixed reviews on Oppenheimer..  Is it worth watching?

[Jaim Magnus]

I've heard mixed reviews on Oppenheimer..  Is it worth watching?

Yes. Absolutely yes.

[17thRecon]

I've heard mixed reviews on Oppenheimer..  Is it worth watching?

Yes. Absolutely yes.

It’s directed by Christopher Nolan, and if you’re familiar with his other movies, it lives up to his signature style. I’m pry not doing it justice in this description, but I’ll say going into the movie, I knew the story, knew the end/result, but I was still on the edge of my seat all the way through waiting to see what would happen next.

The tank chats

[elf25s]

ok this one os obscure by el brooks and it ran for about dozen episodes in the mid 70s
when things were rotten
btw it was a direct grandaddy to his robin hood men in tights which from a lot of jokes were taken to be in that movie

ActionWife wanted to see Wonka before ActionKid leaves for Christmas. It was okay? I guess? Felt more like the original movie than the Burton/Depp version did, but I’m still not sure why anyone believes that Willy Wonka needs an origin story.

That was definitely the question I had about it: why did we need Wonka's origin?

I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been its own, original thing. The movie was visually very fun to look at, it’s just that I was never able to square the fact that this had any meaningful relation to the original film.

Take away the Wonka name, the Oompa-Loompa, and Slugworth, though, and you’ve still got an okay family flick in time for Christmas. Paul Atreides makes magical chocolate with the help of the Downton Abbey butler and foils the evil plans of Mr Bean, Nardole, Olivia Coleman, and 50% of Key and Peele. That would be fine, IMO. There are already tons of movies in that vein that worked well enough and weren’t nearly as visually impressive.

But that’s just me. ActionWife and ActionMother-in-Law both enjoyed it, and that’s the important part.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

I'm now imagining "ActionMother-In-Law" as being the code name of a superhero from the 70s.
