Comedy Double Feature "DeadPool" and "Venom". I've seen the former twice now and had never seen Venom before. DeadPool holds up well even after multiple viewings, don't know about Venom. Not exactly "Casablanca" or the Marx Brothers but good mindless entertainment during the winter that...
I know this thread wound up way afield of my original intent BUT, if conversations are REASONED, informed and civil... let it go where it goes... But please mind the mods! I don't want to get struck by an errant "Ban Hammer" aimed at one of you lot!

Puddin's gone mad dog nuts on "Men in Kilts". This Starz offering follows two of the male leads from "Outlander" as they "caravan" around Scotland getting up to all sorts of tomfoolery. Pretty funny!

"The Cursed" (Eight Silver Pieces) - This 2021 indie horror film breaks the mold in many places. First, the production values are top notch. Second, it's a period piece, France in the mid to late 1800's. Third, the action and writing are singular as is the acting. And lastly... it puts a new...
TCM's cavalcade of WWII Movies. "12 O'clock High", "All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) and "Air Force". Seen em all at least a dozen times each but still love to watch em when they're on or available on the TCM Roku app.

"Selective Outrage" - This Chris Rock special is his first true comedy special in a while. In the 80's he established himself as a standup with few peers. His HBO specials were amazing. In recent years between age and personal problems his output and "fire" have declined. All of this ended...
Nice, thoughtful and well balanced response. I never considered the crunch of so many competing entertainment streams on money, quality writers etc... Thanks.

Hey Mods!!!!!!! I must protest! Such.... feminine pulchritude so early in my morning is not good for my mental state!!!! Can't concentrate nay bit as the few brain cells I have left are all scattered and distracted!

"The History of the World - Part 1" - In preparation for watching the new HULU series of a similar name I decided to re-watch the original. I realized halfway in that I'd only seen parts of this film over the years. Like many a Mel Brooks offering this movie could never get made today. Not as...
Every time I saw Jackson Browne I was lucky enough for him to have Lindley with him. "Running On Empty" is still one of my fave "live" albums due in no small part to his ability to play lap steel like a demon from hell! This one hurts... but at least I got to see him live more than once.

As a musician that's been "playing for pay" off and on since Nixon was President, I found "Whiplash" so traumatizing as to be just this side of torture... I watched it once with my jaw on the floor and a constant stream of cuss words coming out of my mouth... I know that "monsters" like this...
I thought it was a first rate adaptation and it turned so many of the shows tropes on their head that I was watching with my mouth agape for days...

Sigh... I guess I'll join the fun. For me it's this used Langlitz (only one I've ever had or seen big enough fer my girth at the time). While it "kinda" fits the pockets are just too high... I still own it and wear it once or twice a year but love it... never.
Even after losing a ton of...
"Knowing" - This apocalyptic movie is for some reason a fave of mine. Don't know why I'm ruminating on the end of civilization lately but this one moves me. It contains one of Nick Cages most understated and moving performances in my mind. He doesn't go to crazy town in this one at all. Sad...
"Threads" - After hearing about this BBC production for years I finally bit the bullet and watched it. It's been described as "one of the most terrifying films ever made", "bonechillingly frightening" and "nightmare fuel". After viewing it I can see why many feel it's just this side of...
I must say that is a VERY interesting take the this whole fantasy. It would be a hard sell to many as unfortunately some of human nature is to "look away", if you don't look at the oncoming train then it can't hit you. Not very bright but we are what we are. I respect you for trying to take a...
Good choices... I'd perhaps swap Sun Records for Chess in Chicago but both companies were there at the start and deserve good a good recount of their influence on world culture. I read some of the Dredd books in the mid 80's. Hated the Stallone version but the Karl Urban one... now THAT was...
If you had, money... I mean REAL money... buy yourself a medium sized nation kinda money.... what film or television series would you produce? Money is no object, any director, producer or actors that you desire can be bought, cajoled or kidnapped, rights will be obtained via any means this...
