I’m sick of your childish responses to this very serious topic.

I thought TFA was dreadful and left the theater thinking, ‘well, I assume they’re setting up something amazing,….’

To think it got decidedly worse, smh

The movie itself is just ok IMO, but I liked the characters and thought they all had potential. And were well cast. Finn as a stormtrooper deserter is interesting and unique from what we'd seen before. Rey I assumed we'd see flip to the dark side. Interesting as the protagonists. Kylo was the only bright spot in all 3. Then they just did nothing with most of them and made Rey super generic.

Finn is/was the very first and probably last stormtrooper to have good aim and actually hit something. 👍

28 years later the bone temple, somehow even weirder than 28 years later. Didn’t hate it but certainly didn’t love it

Borgnine usually played avuncular, likeable guys. It was interesting to see when he went dark & villainous.

This was the flick Puzo took inspiration from with Fontaine’s (Sinatra’s) favor at the beginning of the Godfather iirc,… haven’t seen it in many years but the beach scene is obviously iconic

What made the movie for me was the multiple story lines. Beach scene is iconic, but the scene near the beginning where Kerr is looking for her husband then comes walking across the grounds towards Lancaster is pretty good. Surprised no one has done a remake.

I think an "Eternity" remake is a bad idea. Just the kind of golden era classic that modern Hollywood would mess up by going in all the wrong directions, beating you over the head with things instead of working through sub-text.

Project Hail Mary is a great blockbuster film. Gosling was perfect casting and they nail a certain little friend. My only complaint is that it should’ve been 15-20min shorter.

I watched a 70 year old classic this weekend: Marty. It won the Oscar for best picture, best director, best screenplay, and earned Ernest Borgnine the Oscar for best actor. Heck of a good movie. Not nearly as syrupy or simple and sweet as most movies from the 50s are. Borgnine did a great job and brought a depth to the role you wouldn't expect from the guy from McHale's Navy or Airwolf. It's a very well-done movie with good acting and a good story.

Hey, hey watch your words about "Airwolf." That show was an instrumental part of my childhood. The theme music rocks.

Shame with Michael Fassbender and Carrie Mulligan. Excellent movie, but wouldn't recommend it for a low-key Saturday night in.

That's the problem with most remakes. They veer away from the original script. With today's technology, The Wizard of Oz would be fantastic, but they made something that was anything but The Wizard of Oz.

Hunger is a great McQueen/Fassbender flick but yeah same not exactly a popcorn movie

I just finished Nomadland today, which won the Oscar for best picture in '21 and earned Frances McDormand a best actress Oscar. Honestly, I thought the movie was sort of dull. What was cool, though, was that part of it was set and filmed in South Dakota and I recognized a LOT of stuff. She drove through one of the tunnels on Needles Highway that I've been through a few dozen times and saw a bison in Custer State Park, and I actually know exactly where she was along the road as I recognized it. In another scene, she's at Reptile Gardens holding a large yellow boa, and I've seen that exact snake several times and my oldest daughter held it during a visit. McDormand watched a croc feeding there, went to The Badlands, worked at Wall Drugs, and stood next to the 80 ft. dinosaur there. Been to all those places many times, driven the same roads, stood right where she was many times. Sorta cool recognizing so many things in a major movie.

What did hardcore Bruce fans think of Deliver Me from Nowhere? I consider myself a bigger Bruce fan than most for my age (30) but obviously less than the core Bruce fanbase, particularly for the Nebraska album.

I'm positively dying to see that one on the big screen. I love Andy Weir's books, and PHM is a great read. I've heard nothing but good things.

Took my kids (6 and 8*) to the Mario Galaxy movie this past weekend. Lots of fun and tonnes of Easter Eggs from the games. Don't expect to walk out pondering newly won insights into the human condition or anything, but of all the things I've had to sit through with the kids (that last Ice Age movie should be considered a Geneva Convention violation), that was up there with gems like Mitchells vs. The Machines and Wild Robot in terms of my ability to enjoy it with them and not just tolerate it.

*My son just turned 8, but my kids were 6 and 7 years old throughout that whole cursed "6-7!" meme. I feel like I deserve some kind of medal for that.

We saw Project Hail Mary on the big screen. It's very much worth it. I do agree it was a tad too long but apart from that it was great. I enjoyed how the story was laid out and the special effects were very well done.

Wanted to see it in the theater rather than at home and it was definitely an experience.

The old Diplomat. Great instrument, but an O2 sensor? Really...?

i don't have anything nice to say about Bruce right with the way he sh&ts on fans now by interrupting his shows to talk politics and bash certain political figures, people pay big bucks for concerts these days and shouldn't have to hear politics but only good music
