If anyone's interested in Paddy Considine, I strongly recommend this shit. Chula I think you'd like this movie. I advocate not reading the description first and just press play.

^love this film!!!!!!

Saving Private Ryan. Wow.

Sausage Party does an amazing job of re making that opening scene

Psycho. Hitchcock had a uniqe form of suspence.

The fight was yawnsome.

^

Whatever. You are just a DC hater.

Two to one, that's definitive. BvS fight was bogus.

Man on the Moon yesterday, Taken today.

Both are allright movies, but don't blow me away.
Jim Carrey overacts annoyingly hard in Man on the Moon, and Taken would have been more fun if it didn't take itself so seriously. It's too dumb to have earned it's semi realistic style.

I can't quite understand how people can defend the DC movie universe with the **** they've put out so far. There are various moments that shine, but man they suck as a whole.

I wouldn't mind if they just rebooted it now.

I agree with you but one of those shining moments was the damn fight scene in BvS everything else building up to it was super boring.

Ebert's review of Taken is so spot on. (I love that movie BTW)

I thought the movie was quite entertaining too much of the way, but I kept thinking that it would work better if it had feld more like a mid 80's Arnold movie. It is too gritty and the bad guys are not twirling their mustaches enough. In fact, there isn't even a real main villain. He kills every badguy within 5 minutes of introduction. He's just too effective! :P

After Hitchcock's Psycho, I'm on a 50's-60's thriller buzz. So I'm watching North by Northwest.

North By Northwest is great. And the final shot is hilarious.

it certainly got the point across :)

I'm finishing it now. Also just watched Following. What a twist.

I saw Don't Breathe the other day. It was very tense. Had some stupid moments but I really enjoy these "BE VERY TENSE THE WHOLE TIME" flicks that have been coming out recently like Green Room. I liked it a lot.

Yeah, I also really enjoyed Dont Breathe. The first few minutes had me convinced that I was going to hate it, but they won me back pretty quickly once the movie got going.

That was me with Night of the Living Dead.

I started The Seven Year Itch yesterday. So far, I like it more than Some Like It Hot.

Some Like It Hot is pretty bad.

So is The Seven Year Itch. They lightened up the story for the big screen since it was made in the 50's. The original play was a lot raunchier.

I've been on an 80's kick myself. I recently rediscovered Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension - man, they don't make movies like that anymore.

You need a lobotomy.

Nah, it's boring. Maybe the idea was fresh at the time, but cross dressing humor has been done so many times since in movies that it's no longer particularly funny, and Marilyn puts on her best dumb blonde impression that has not aged well at all. Just because a movie was funny in the 50s doesn't mean we're obligated to find it funny decades after it was actually relevant.

Maybe not, but I don't think it's fair to compare a movie's humor to things that copied it years after its release. Besides, it was my first Marilyn Monroe movie, and my second Tony Curtis movie. It was pretty hilarious seeing a Spartacus actor cross dress since he was so serious in Spartacus.

Of course it's fair. If there's one genre on Earth that can be judged in hindsight, it's comedy. If you've seen it before it's probably not going to be as funny as the first time, and since everything about Some Like It Hot is now old hat, it is now unfunny. However good it might have been back in the day is irrelevant.

I don't think cross dressing humor was any fresher in 50s. I mean Shakespeare was playing it for laughs 400 years before that. But regardless, yeah, I didn't laugh a single time when saw Some Like it Hot—and I saw it under great circumstances at an event hosted by Roger Ebert. Still, no laughs. The only humor I remember from that movie that wasn't threadbare cross dressing humor was them making fun of 1920s fashions—talk about jokes that haven't aged well.

Was anyone else laughing?

I don't remember actually. I don't think any of the people I was with were laughing.

That movie is to "Best of" comedies lists what Sgt. Pepper is to Rolling Stone lists: always at the top, and most likely because of fogey critic nostalgia, mindless elitism, and just being too scared to challenge convention.

You know what other movie is like that? Duck Soup. Not a laugh to be found.

Duck Soup was really funny. It's really just everyone of the Marx's personas that made it funny. Greatest ever? I wouldn't say so. But still great.

For a really funny movie it's really not funny.

I'll agree with you on Some Like it Hot but you shut your goddamn whore mouth about Duck Soup.

It's easy to keep your mouth shut during a movie when it's as unfunny as Duck Soup.

Re: Sgt. Pepper's

You've never been so wrong. In all of the arts there are defining moments in their history where the game is forever changed. And those moments are in no way nostalgia. They are critical links in the chain of the art's history.

There was abstract painting before Picasso and then abstract painting after Picasso.
There was modern classical music before Varese and then modern classical after him.
There was horror writing before Lovecraft and then horror writing after him.
There was electric guitar before Hendrix and then electric guitar after him.
There was pop/rock albums before Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper and then...... you get the idea.

Has nothing to do with nostalgia. It has to do with critical turning points in the evolution of a particular art form.

To discount that stuff is just plain stupid.

Picasso wasn't an abstract artist.
