Physical media thrift pickups

Decent time-wasters, and also Rounders & The Village.

Normally I try to grow the blu-ray but I’m currently blu-ray less because I sold my PlayStation. Working on it

I didn’t know you needed new movies to watch

1) The Vanishing (198
2) Star 80 (1983)

Guarantee you love at least one. Both really, but I’m being modest

If you’re looking for a good time to watch IT, be it the 1990 miniseries, or the 2017 film and/or Chapter 2, now is a good time.

Reason being? On this exact day 38 years ago, the book was published.

IT really is such a fascinating story. One where it can be discussed for hours on end

Wikipedia does a fine job summarizing it, thematically:

“the power of memory, childhood trauma and its recurrent echoes in adulthood, the malevolence lurking beneath the idyllic facade of the American small town, and overcoming evil through mutual trust and sacrifice.”

I’m guessing the new movie didn’t go into what really happened in this scene

Star 80 was such a sad film, similar to the Tracey Thurmon story. Both are very hard watches.

It did not.

Old Stevie had to have been on one of his 80s cocaine benders when he wrote that part

Speak No Evil was entertaining. Solid thriller with some humor sprinkled in. McAvoy was great in this role

First time watching Baby Boy. I see where a lot of quotes come from now.

Damn Jody mom was looking fire. Ton of beautiful woman, but she stood out.

Emmy’s currently on ABC…

 

[pmatic]

Love The Bear, but it is not a comedy.

 

[pmatic]

Lionsgate has produced Borderlands and The Crow in the last month. And it has Megalopolis at the end of September.

 

[lawdog1]

Sofia Boutella is a box office jinx.

 

[a-friend]

Can only choose one:

Olga Kurylenko
Monica Belucci


Im choosing Olga Belucci allllll night and night.

Not a fair comparison.
You have to compare somebody like, oh man I can’t even think. Olga is just so endearing.

Adele Exarchopoulos
Jessica Brown Findlay

Belucci is cute though.

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

Ive always had both in the same tier.

First time watching Darkman. Damn movie is fire. So damn raw. Reminds me of The fly, the crow. Just plain raw.

Man. Raimi used a ton of Darkman to his Spiderman films

All the swinging he did, the “change” scene, the empty building construction. Even the “who am I, I’m Spiderman” at the end

Not getting a proper sequel

Edit: Wrong thread

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I need to watch the killer's game next week..

First time and it was damn near a perfect double header with Wall-E (even though I watched it a day after)

Mount Rushmore of movies that are never streaming anywhere:

Ransom
Any Given Sunday
Pump Up The Volume
American Gigolo

So, watched Pump Up The Volume for the first time in a few years - it's a bit of a guilty pleasure. First saw it in the 90s when I'd just finished HS and even then it sat a bit uncomfortably - but Christian Slater is a handsome man and also helloooo Nora.

Looking back though it's even worse - a whitewashed view of the angst of middle America and the odd reaction of the authorities to clamp down on this when there were significantly more important things is just odd. Kids rebelling by not going to Yale - yeah, that's a key priority.

Interestingly, the film (IT) does contain references to Maturin (The Turtle), an Easter Egg paying homage to the Novel.

The swimming scene

Bill drops a lego turtle on the floor

I do find the mythology to be cool, but I could understand the omission due to time, the director wanting to focus on the human trauma, etc.

Esquire makes a logical, and humorous case for the omission of this aspect: “Maybe audiences aren’t ready to accept that the Universe was made by a cosmic turtle who coughed up our very existence during a bit of indigestion.”

Dammit, now I'm intrigued by IT.
