Oubliette_Red Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) I had no idea that Richard Pryor was a co-writer on Blazing Saddles (or maybe I did and I just forgot, growing old sucks) until I read this article just recently Mel Brooks Quit Blazing Saddles For Three Days Out Of Protest because he wanted Pryor to play the role of Black Bart and only relented when Pryor backed Cleavon Little. Happy 50th Anniversary to BLAZING SADDLES! Edited July 8 by Oubliette_Red Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Alex Karras was on the WB lot auditioning for another flick (apparently a fairly terrible one). He heard from a mate that Mel Brooks was around somewhere on site and got hold of a copy of the script. Read it. Walked unannounced into Mel’s production office. Threw a chair at him. Said “Me Mongo.” And walked out. He got got the gig. I’m not sure if it was because it hit the brief or Mel was too terrified to argue. Edited July 13 by ThaOGDreamWeaver 1 WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 If you happen to be in the UK, Moon is on BBC2 tonight at 11.05pm. Go see or iPlayer it. You can also rent it on Amazon or Apple. Directed by Duncan Jones (aka David Bowie Jr.) and using/subverting Sam Rockwell’s normal jovial schtick, it won a BAFTA and a slew of other awards, but nary a flicker of interest from the Academy. I’m not gonna post a trailer for this one, and recommend you don’t Google it. But if you enjoy pre-Star Wars paranoid sci-fi - Silent Running springs to mind - you might well dig on this.

I read that first line and thought it must be some really good, narrated documentary about our nearest celestial neighbor or possibly the Apollo program. 🙃 In 2002, I went into the theater to see a martial arts film. Instead what I saw was an art masterpiece disguised as a martial arts film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoroit Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 If you haven't seen 'pulp fiction', it's pure Americana. Green apple cigarettes and foot massage drama. 'Requiem for a dream' is good, but upsetting. 'blame!' is a really good anime movie available on Netflix 'the platform' is a movie about a prison where groups of 2 are on floors of an enormous tower. They get knocked unconscious every month and moved floor. Food comes down a central shaft, and goes top to bottom. This means the lower floors get poor quality food, or none. Drama ensues. Part 2 comes out October 4th of this year. It's really good. 'the circle' is a good sleepy time movie. A group of people are trapped in a room where they must eliminate one another for unknown captors/reasons. Also on Netflix. If you haven't played (yes played) bandersnatch, consider doing so!! It's a psychological horror choose your own adventure where you select options with your remote. It has many ways it can turn out. Also Netflix. figs bonus picks - 'devilman crybaby' / cyberpunk 2077 - Netflix. I've watched both at least 4 times.... ...oh, and 'love and sexy robots' or something, you'll find it. -- figs, movie critic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette_Red Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 If you are a fan of motorcycles, racing and/or Steve McQueen... McQueen was a huge motorcycle aficionado and racer himself, a lot of people think that he dies from smoking but he actually died from complications due to mesothelioma caused by the asbestos in the brake pads.

It's funny how I watched Pulp Fiction so many years after it came out that it honestly didn't hit for me like it should have. An underrated Tarantino film since he only wrote it is True Romance. Requiem for a Dream is the best 'Don't do drugs kids and here's why' film. It's worth watching. Once. Edited August 19 by Without_Pause Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2.

Techwright Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Secondhand Lions: Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, Haley Joel Osment, Kyra Sedgwick Duvall is almost a force of nature in this one, and his teaming with Caine is brilliant.

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 From Steven Soderbergh, director of Ocean's 11, 12 and 13, comes... Ocean's 7-11. Aka Logan Lucky. This tells the story of two down-on-their-luck brothers, played by Channing Tatum and Adam Driver. They plan a hillbilly version of the Ocean's Vegas heist: robbing the vault of Charlotte's NASCAR track. And in fairness, it's a pretty brilliant plan, especially the ingenious if disgusting means of mapping the system. But any similarity with Danny's smooth crew ends there. Especially when they pull in eccentric safecracker Joe Bang (Daniel Craig with an even weirder Suthun-fried accent than Knives Out) along with his idiot brothers Sam (Brian Gleeson) and Fish (a baby-faced Jack Quaid). If you love a good caper movie that you're never quite sure if it's going to plan, or just a good laugh, I recommend... WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.

FDR's Think Tank Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I just saw Pontypool and it's banging around in my head. That movie is fantastic. Kinda funny thinking about a Cult Classic movie like that when Wolverine+Deadpool is slamming theaters. You are on the edge of your seat the whole time, the pacing is fantastic, the script is masterful, and you can't see the end coming. Unlike certain modern blockbusters, eh?

InvaderStych Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) Recently started watching this one; highly recommend provided you're into a rather twisted tale that unfolds slowly, with punctuation in all the right places. I guess I'm going to have to track down the novel once I'm done with the season. .... Which is apparently this ...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42106690-the-dark-manual?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=2FaPt5HfNr&rank=1 ... or maybe this, which has the same main character and basic premise with a different description? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/187016383-sunny Reprint/Rehash of the same thing? GR comments don't offer much of a clue, not that I looked for too long. Whatever, still a solid show, enjoying it greatly. Edited October 1 by InvaderStych The plot thickens ... 1 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techwright Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I can't believe I didn't name this one before. I've described it to others as a quirky modern fairy tale...mostly without the fairies. I went into viewing this one cold. I only was given the name (which I thought bizarre). Loved it. All-Star Cast: Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason-Leigh, Charles Durning, John Mahoney, Bill Cobbs, Bruce Campbell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo-Joe Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) Two films that you THINK are about racing. But really - they are about so much more. First - RUSH Next - not to be outdone - Ford Vs Ferrari Both films are FAR Deeper than you might think. Rivals and Friends. Fathers and sons. Honor and Glory. Friendships that stand when everything else goes to hell. They are perfect bookends to each other. You want a movie night with a shared theme that your significant other isn't expecting to like, but will LOVE? These two films will absolutely wind up as favorites.
