Last Movie Seen

I saw that on there yesterday and was intrigued. I may have to check that out once the wife finally finishes The Walking Dead. Holy shit, did that show fall off a cliff. I would have gladly quit watching several seasons ago, but my wife’s apparently too OCD to quit it at this point.
-
I just did Walking Dead again a few months back. I stopped sooner this second time than I did the first. It really goes gay after they get into that organized town which I can't remember the name of. It was about season 6ish. I never heard or read anything good about what comes after.
-
The first time I watched it, I quit after the start of season 7. It got even worse after that. I was right to quit then. It gets gayer than gay. At one point, it gets to the point where literally every relationship in the show is either gay or interracial.
-
I watched up until the season with the guy with the baseball bat. I saw the the scene where he kills Glen on YouTube, didn’t even watch that episode and that was one of the last scenes I watched.
One of the writers at Hot Air used to do a story the day after the WD episode. After I stopped watching, that was a great way to watch the show fall off the cliff. Even the writer said in his final story, this is too much BS for me, I can’t watch anymore and that was in 2016-2017.
-
Yep, Glen was exactly when I stopped watching. I got so sick of killing off characters only to reveal they didn’t actually die by some miracle. Everything just got so damn repetitive, and all the characters made decisions that made zero sense. The writing go so fucking bad, it’s laughable.
Response to @CFetters_Nacho_Lover. Fuck vanilla.

I’ve never seen this movie but it’s now on my watchlist.
-
Dude…this is arguably the greatest movie soundtrack ever.
The six minute speech is an all timer.Louden Swain is the man.
The Throbber feels like carrying a log up stadium stairs now. -
Louden Swain was a creepy panty sniffer.
If he would have just figured out sooner that if he got laid, he would have been a way better wrestler all along. -
Little known fact, filmed in Spokane.
-
Watched Cry Macho tonight, that is one mean rooster. I have been around chickens and roosters and roosters are mean around their girls. By themselves maybe calmer. Movie was good, slow paced, no T&A.
-
A Clint Eastwood movie was slow paced? Weird
-
You're goddamned right - and that's Mead coach Cash Stone slapping the pin down after Louden ran out from the Rogers HS wrestling room directly onto the mat at Spokane Falls Community College after listening to Lunatic Fringe.
Magic. Rogers and SFCC are 5 miles apart.
-
I started watching The Killer Elite, 1975, starring James Caan and Robert Duvall. It was fucking terrible.
After turning that off, I started watching Downfall, the story of Hitler’s last 10 days in his bunker. I’ll finish watching this one later. It was excellent through the first 90ish minutes.
-
The remake of the Killer Elite with Statham and DeNiro is solid
-
Much more solid than the original
-
went to an AMC theater to see Becoming Zeppelin - covered all four of them and how they got together. early beginnings up to album II. Did not cover the drugs/sex aspect at all so G rated.
Jimmy Page was a smart businessman.
Funniest thing went up to pay for tickets and a group in front of us paid for the three of us to go in - payed it forward, so a couple was coming in and I paid for their admission. Was gone by the time they got to the ticketing booth. Hopefully they did the same.

Longlegs
Made a ton of money but don’t bother with this hot turd sandwich of a movie.
-
Had my first encounter with Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night. It was meh. Ralphie’s mom in a pair of daisy dukes and t-shirt with no bra was as exciting as it got.
-
Little Chuck saw that at a drive in theater when it was new. I vaguely remembered him making a mashed potato sculpture, but slept through the rest.
-
Last weekend my wife watched DeNiro play POTUS in a movie and I refused to watch.
Highly enjoyed Rambo Last Blood on Netflix’s and got my popcorn ready after the cartel guys fucked around and found out when they killed his niece/adopted daughter.
-
Started last night because it's finally on Hulu. One of the problems with these movies is anything like it now just feels like it's trying to be Silence of the Lambs and nothing ever can be. I want to call it the greatest movie ever made but I'll stop at it being just one of the best books ever written. If a movie is basically retells a book beat for beat and wins every Academy Award (back when that was a real thing) that's all you need to know. Also, didn't need to rely on literary bs fluff.
The early scene where they knock on the guy's door is legit though.
-
I personally liked Longlegs a lot better than SotL because the 90's Oregon serial killer noir is just a lot more attractive than the national manhunt shit that SotL and even Red Dragon/manhunt had.
I even liked The Snowman and Insomnia better than SotL for similar reasons.
Nobody will reward horror/serial killer movies nowadays and I'm not sure that SotL was even considered that back then. I give it credit for being kind of a template, but that is moreso for the little Netflix miniseries or even True Detective.
-
I've never been prepared to defend Silence of the Lambs, so will leave it at that. Finished Longlegs last night. Liked it enough. Working in The Hollywood world I get ultra bitter trying to watch movies though where stuff kind of just happens and magical type stuff and Satan/devil worshippers are engines because if someone like me goes those routes you're noted to death with that doesn't work logistically or it's been done too many times.
The awards are a graveyard because they refuse to just award movies the way regular people do, including recognizing stuff like horror and comedy more, which is much harder to pull off well than drama, which is overly awarded and the easiest thing to make for awards bait.
-
Yeah I knew and understood that a lot of people are going to feel a bit deceived by how the movie starts and then delves down into something else that isn't explained much. That was a similar issue with Heretic.
I knew I was forgetting a movie and I will say that Prisoners is truly a movie in the "Silence of the Lambs" space that doesn't get near enough credit. It's criminal that that's a movie you just kind of stumble into on Netflix/Max hoping it can just fill a couple of hours, when it's a near perfect film in the genre.
-
I kind of agree on SOTL. It's a great movie because the material is strong and they threw a bunch of premium actors at it and they killed it. It could've been written better though. Like a lot of Hollywood horror it starts out as a nice, slow burn but eventually they realize they have to step on the gas and speed through to an ending.
-
Twins with Arnold and DeVito. Saw it in the 80s and not since then. Couldn’t remember if it was good or not. Much better than I thought it’d be
-
Legend.
-
The new/remake video game that is only 5 or so months old is the best game in 20 years rather easily and the movie could suck but I think it's looking pretty faithful besides the casting of James looking like an early 2000's emo kid
-
Watched 2 movies on my flights yesterday, both starting #myLancer Jim Cavaziel:
Sound of Freedom & Thin Red Line.
Hollywood has this thing where studios produce 2 movies of the same type in the same year where 1 is a blockbuster and the other is meh. Armageddon and Deep Impact are 1 example. Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line are another.
-
Is someone dare referring to Deep Impact as "meh?" There was also Dante's Peak and Volcano LA.
