RutgersJetFan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Cool. How about Pusher? I will try Valhalla Rising next. Willing to bet that I will finish Only God Forgives, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. Only God Forgives is Refn's worst film times a billion. Not a good place to start if you're getting into him. Start with Drive and then Bronson. All of the Pusher movies are great. Kick you in the teeth levels of awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already seen Drive and Bronson and didn't know he was a "thing" Valhalla Rising is on Netflix, so that will be a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it when you're in the mood for something that's paced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Drive I didn't get the first time but I appreciated it 2nd and 3rd viewing. Albert Brooks was brilliant in it. The movie was marketed as a 2 hour car chase and it's not that. It's film noir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just watched the documentary "The Sheik" on Netflix, not really great as far as documentaries go, but a worthwhile way to spend an hour and a half for people that grew up watching Iron Sheik wrestle. He's an interesting character for sure, I never knew about his coke bust in NJ leading to him being banned from WWF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Every time I watch UFC, at least once I think to myself, "Andre the Giant would have killed all of you." Hah. 2 stories. I knew a woman who had a cousin that wrote a Broadway style musical about Andre the Giant. It was ******* awesome. I had the CD, but don't know where it is. I think I gave it back to her, but she swore I didn't. I have not spoken to her in years, so I guess I will never hear it again. My cousin was a trainer. He trained wrestlers, some boxers and MMA guys. I think he had his card to wrestle, but never did any shows. Just the locals where he was an extra guy in the crowd that would smash a chair over somebody's head. About 15-20 years ago I am talking to him on the phone and I hear this tremendous crash and him cursing and yelling at somebody. Then the usual "Hey! How are you doing?" Turns out some guy he trained from the wrestling school saw him on the pay phone and smashed a garbage can over his head. Those guys are ******* crazy.

peebag Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Saw Inherent Vice - what a beautifully filmed movie - not for everyone's taste though. But it really feels like a Thomas Pynchon novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Saw the HBO doc/bio about Kurt Cobain last night. Depressing doesn't begin to describe the downer this was.His parents, stepmom(who looks like a joy to be around) , Krist Novselic and Courtney Love participate, neither his daughter nor Dave Grohl did. Takeway for child rearing purposes; Kurt's an active little sheet, so let's give him Ritalin for breakfast, lunch and dinner. May be he is never the rock star he became if they were, I dunno, LOVING PARENTS, but may be he's still here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Kind of bizarre that the guys who made The Matrix and Cloud Atlas also made Jupiter Ascending and Speed Racer. I just watched Jupiter and can confirm that it is right up with the biggest pieces of sh*t blockbusters of all time. Right up with Wild Wild West and Battlefield Earth. It's that bad.

#27TheDominator Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Okay. I saw Ultron. I agree, it was a quite a mess. Enjoyable enough. The ultron guy's outfit looked like something from a 50's movie - complete with the makeup on his chest. The new ultron guy, not the fake terminator Andrew McCarthy. I know, I know, it was James Spader. How big a difference is that, really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wachowski bros have been in an enormous slump since the second matrix movie. I'm amazed they still get these Hollywood executives to fork over $400 million to make these crapfests.

#27TheDominator Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It is pretty funny in the Avengers how they try to act like each individuals life is so precious, but they had to kill thousands of people in each of the chases, robot army wars and Hulk rampage. Also, Scarlett Johansson's cutesy "excuse me, pardon me" during the motorcycle thing were beyond annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Scarlett Johansson's cutesy "excuse me, pardon me" during the motorcycle thing were beyond annoying. It's just Whedon. Everything and every scene needs to have quips and one liners. I have never been the biggest fan of his because it gets annoying. Kinda why I'm ecstatic about them handing the reigns over to The Russo Brothers. Winter Soldier was everything that the MCU should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I am sure that I will go see Mad Max and like it, but I think the further afield they go from the society we know the less I like it. I liked the first one best. I like my lawless anarchy closer to current realism. Like the New York I remember. I am assuming that this one will be pretty far out there.

I preferred Mad Max. I prefer the deteriorating world to the complete absence of society. Mad Max is my favorite. I prefer it to Road Warrior.
