What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[MisterCairo]

Yay! Glad you liked it. I can't wait to watch it again. I agree - probably not as good as Skyfall, but that one is going to be really hard to top.

It makes you wonder how they'll progress to the next film, though, doesn't it? One of the many things I love about the Craig Bonds is how the films are linked. I'm REALLY hoping Craig does the one more he's contracted to do, if for nothing else to tie off the loose ends!

Totally agree with you. I really, really hope he'll do one more, too. As far as the last film (if Craig does it), I'm thinking that Blofeld will be involved somehow. He'll escape from prison, of course, and take his revenge on Bond somehow.

In The Land Of The Headhunters (1914) by Edward S. Curtis. A feature length movie that came out almost a year before, Birth OF A Nation! So why do we keep celebrating the later film?

I could tell you why, but you wouldn't like the answers...

The Peanuts Movie. Oh wow. Absolute perfection! They stuck with Schulz's characters and his world - it was wonderful. And the animation was incredible. Loved it!!!

Something tells m we are on the same wave length on this one! Birth Of A Nation is one film I wish no one bothered to restore. Don't even ask how I really feel about that movie.

Bailout At 43,000 (1957) This came at the tail end of this genre, so not very good. Love the Boeing B-47 though!

You do what I do, which is that - after I've seen a movie once or twice and have had that experience - I start enjoying it in different ways on subsequent viewings. Sometimes I focus in on one actor and how he or she developed their character throughout or I look at the background, clothes, cars or how the director used angles, etc. Heck, I have even focused on the different type of drinks that are ordered in a movie. It's all fun and all great time travel.

I'm pretty sure all three of us feel the similar, but I don't want it destroyed anymore than I wan't Nazi propaganda films destroyed. All of it is our history and we should keep it and study it. Hopefully, a narrative that puts it in a proper context of what it represents develops around it - and, overall, things have been moving in the right direction on the narratives around America's far from perfect past - but it's a work in progress and we are not there yet. But destroying even the ugliness of history is not, IMHO, good - a realistic understanding of those ugly periods could / should / hopefully will (fingers crossed) prevent us from returning to those inclinations. A while back, I watch "Judgement at Nuremberg" again. I doubt there are many humans on earth who can see the pictures of the bodies in the ovens at the concentration camps that wouldn't be horrified and want to do anything to prevent that from happening again. At least I hope that is so.

Thanks !
Right now I finished putting together one of my favorite “film noirs” . The Big Sleep.

I edited scenes from the 1945 & 1946 films & added a little
sepia-tone sort of vintage facade to have my own version.

I also edited King Kong...I abhor cruelty to animals.
I still have the originals, these are just my own versions & helps me cope with the cold.

That is a particularly outstanding scene - not a bad moment, beat or inflection in it. He does his job very well, she brings the heat from beginning to end.

I for one, would never want it destroyed or banned... But too many people BELIEVE in the "history" that film professes to show... The "truth" depicted in that film must be denied vigorously at every turn and at every showing!

I never said I wanted all copies destroyed! I said, I wish it was never restored!

Unbroken!

I am truly not trying to pick a fight - and I apologize for unintentionally misrepresenting what you said. But I am fine that they restored it. It is not about destroying it, not restoring it or in any other way eliding its existing - it is, as Worf says above, about aggressively exposing its distortions, lies, historical inaccuracies and highlighting why it is propaganda in the same sense of the word as nazi propaganda.

All that said, and sincerely believed, I share your emotional desire to see it just fade away, just as I can't watch it myself. I admit to being tired of the fight, tired of fighting lies, tired of fighting the agendas and manipulations - it never stops and it is wearing me out mentally.

I think, everybody wants to be Bogie at this scene and further like to hug her.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Yeah, she looks like another Ingrid Bergman:
