For some reason when I’m using an iPad the threads have a default where they won’t let me reply.

Yes, the movie was great, one of the best things Will has done.

Saw King Richard today. I’m unable to post on your thread Chris.

Great movie about determination.
Will Smith is good, but he didn’t make me forget he was Will Smith.
He should have been...

I saw an appropriate meme today on Facebook in a comics group.


I want to see a comic about the CIA trying to murder Clark Kent and making it look like an accident.
Not because they know he’s...

Bravo.
Thanks for that report.
I’d heard that what made the movie great was the duel itself, that it was exciting and visceral.
It’s on my list of must-sees.

Peter Greenaway (one of my favourite directors) singled out Ridley Scott in a recent interview.
He admires Blade Runner and Gladiator as fantastic visual productions.
His filmography is hit and...

Agree.
The best directors are film lovers. They instinctively know what works and what doesn’t.
Kubrick became a director after seeing scores and scores of movies in New York and saying to himself...

There he is…thanks for the pic.

The Last Duel got mild reviews but talk about a trailer with pull!
It looks fantastic, with the great Adam Driver who’s just a steamroller.

Re: NAPOLEON

Ridley is indeed 84, and I don’t know why he would tackle Napoleon at this juncture.
I wonder if he’s got a Kubrick complex and wants to make the film Stanley couldn’t.
His biblical...

Fair enough.
The sisters story may be better served this way. (No tennis 🎾 pun intended)
Trailers are a good gauge for me. If a trailer doesn’t have “the pull”, I’m loathe to give a movie a chance....

I want to see all films that get noticed/praise but I am a little limited.
Luckily I have a good friend who sees everything and buys the blu-rays…

The Batman is a hit that I have very little...

Martin Scorsese has championed The Power of The Dog as great cinema.
I know Jane Campion from The Piano, and I have no problem with her.
The clips I’ve seen of TPOTD showed promise, but I don’t...

This Chris Rock/Will Smith incident is going to haunt both of them.

On YouTube the comments are fast and furious: “Where was security?” “Why wasn’t Will stripped of his Oscar for disgracing...

Wow. They cut the sound here in Canada.
I think what really set Will off was Rock dismissing Jada with “it was a good joke!”
Rock was clearly rattled. He couldn’t say his lines afterward.

Good...

Will won Best Actor and he was very emotional. He apologized to the Academy: “Love makes you do crazy things!”

I’m in disbelief that Denis Villeneuve wasn’t nominated for best...

Comedian Chris Rock insulted Will Smith’s wife Jada with a joke about being in “G.I. Jane 2”.
They cut the sound and Will stormed onstage, imitating knocking Chris out.
You could see Will mouth the...

Dune is doing well tonight. (I’m watching the show and I’m happy about that).
Hope it wins Best Picture and Director.

I love the lighthearted tone of the show and the Bond 60th Anniversary edit...

I haven’t mentioned something very salient.

Ray Manzarek served in the military and he curiously never mentioned it in interviews or his books.
He served overseas (Thailand) in the early sixties....

Today (FEB. 5th) is William S. Burroughs birthday.
Today The Doors' official Facebook page had a post about how Jim Morrison was influenced by Bill and wished him a posthumous happy birthday.
Today...

I want to add that if there’s anyone I suspect of being able to verify that Jim was Rush, it’s Clifford Morrison, Jim’s son.
There are other *famous* people who could do it, but I don’t think they...

Thanks for these lists.
Great to have a heads up on the best of the year…

My thread here is complete, or as complete as I want it to be.

The man is dead. I got my wish, and he’s off the air due to lung cancer.
Despite his very public life there is still a lot of...

Re: the CIA angle
It’s quite a stretch to believe that he faked his death on his own and carried on as Limbaugh until he died.

He would need help to pull that off. His politics and ties to the...

I sensed that this was an unsummarizable piece of cine from the trailer.
I've loved pretty much all of his films; I really liked Budapest Hotel. Sorry to hear it's your least favorite.
I'm happy he...

“If he stayed true to himself”...


Maybe he did.
Maybe Rush Limbaugh WAS his true self?
After all, he played that role longer than the rock star...
Who knows the true man?
He wore a few...

The Doors was “just a way to get started”.
Ray Manzarek once said that the Doors goal was to “Conquer Music, then Movies, then the White House”.
Jim was the only one who actually did it.

He had...
