OT: Movies/TV Shows

It’s amazing and maybe his best performance…read the historical fiction novel it’s based on this past year and it’s pretty great in its own right, but it’s kinda cheating now that you can visualize Piit & Affleck in the respective roles.

Has a remarkable cast overall…..Jeremy Renner, Sam Sheppard and Sam Rockwell 👌🏼👌🏼

Loved the soundtrack as well.

One of my top 5 movies but I could see how ppl would not like it

Just finished watching it last night over a span of about a week. I watch most things late at night and get tired so I watch an hour or so at a time.

This one took a little longer simply because it moved so slow I guess.

Well worth watching though. I recommend it.

I dont think I’d call it superfluous given how drastically different it is to the rest of the film….and I think there’s value in what it does bring, but it also fucks the pacing of the film so much that I agree that it’s a better cut without it.

….that said, I think the movie is also a superior watch when you have the awareness of those scenes existing, and Coppola’s intent of the ghosts of colonialism to be swirling around the edges of the picture. So I’m both glad those scenes exist and that I’ve seen them, while agreeing the best possible cut of the film leaves them out.

(Redux did add plenty that deserves to be in a best cut tho…and every single cut is it’s own masterpiece anyway)

The documentary on how the film was made is almost as good as the movie.
 
Not only watched it, we'd re-enact the show the next day at school.
What was funny is I remember everybody always wanted to be Hutch because we were too young to know how cool that car was and getting to drive it made Starsky the real badass.

"You're hair is brown", they'd say, "and you get to drive the car"
 
Iron Claw was pretty good. I did think it struggled to wrap-up the story and has a weak final 15 minutes. I knew a little about the Von Erich family, mostly from Kerry being in WWF during the time I started watching as a kid. Zac Efron is ok in the lead(Not the biggest fan of him, lacks charisma), but he actually got ridiculously big for the role, and the real wrestler he played, Kevin was not near that muscular.
The guy who played RIc Flair-OMG. I am not a fan of doing an "Impression" of a guy in a film, but Flair's promos are so known, you've got to capture some of his mannerisms. It's like the guy never watched anything of Flair's.
Story is sad, compelling. It makes me think they should do a Hart family movie as they were like the Von Erichs for Canada.
Don't have to rush-out to see it in the theater, but worth watching when it streams.
 
Anyone else watching "The Curse?" I love Nathan Fielder so I definitely want to love it. However, I'm 4 episodes in and I honestly don't know what I think of it. There are moments of brilliant, subtle humor... and moments of total cringe. Which of course is Fielder's hallmark. It does a good job of building anticipation... but I'm just waiting for something more to happen.

Might be his masterpiece. Only a handful of eps in myself but if they stick the landing on this over the final 6-7 episodes, it started off with some pretty outrageous potential so far.
 
Although I thought, "Why would I want to see ANOTHER retelling of the Uruguay crash in the Andes", I watched Society of the Snow and it's fantastic. It wouldn't be fair to compare it to "Alive" from 1992 (I recall liking it and will watch again), as it's been so long since I've seen it. But that was more of a Hollywood production. This feels much more real and compelling.
