Random Movie Talk XIII: In Which I Cannot Come Up With a Relevant or Witty Title

[LMP]

Okay, I remember seeing that on the retrospective on the GWTW disc.

Movie club? Let's do this.

 

[lazarus]

How many is enough, do you think?

Someone's looking for a minyan.

 

[Lancemc]

Olivier Assayas' Carlos is out there... in the ether. I'm going to work on acquiring it. It looks gorgeous.

edit: acquiring now.... muhaha.

 

[gump]

Am I being too big of a dork when I say that we should seriously reconsider doing a movie club? Maybe 1-2 a month, different suggestions from different posters, but you do it ONLY if you really commit to watching and discussing, to the best of your abilities, each film.

I'd like to participate as well.

 

[No spoken words]

I'd like to participate as well.

Wonderful.

That's five so far.

Laz, while working in the TV business in LA, it will not surprise you to learn that we often would take a look around during one of our meetings and realize that we had a minyan.

I'm gonna let this sit for a few days, then we'll just roll and see how it goes.

 

[UberBeaver]

I'll participate. I'm a team player, and shit.

 

[Jive Turkey]

How does this club work? How many movies a month? I'd like to give it a shot at least and see how it goes.

edit: 1-2 a month, you say? cool

 

[No spoken words]

That sucks blows is awesome, glad you're in.

Nice, glad you're gonna participate.

 

[Imperor]

I could be down for 1-2 a month. Sounds like a good time.

Just when I thought I could take a nice break from the tube...

This looks pretty interesting:

The Trailer For AMC’s Next Series, RUBICON!! First Episode Airs This Sunday!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

 

[deep]

I'll give it a serious try

Writer-producer Henry Bromell (“Homicide: Life on the Street,” “Chicago Hope,” “Brotherhood”) is its showrunner.

those were 3 very good series

Yeah, I'm in.

 

[Lancemc]

Part 1 of Carlos > Part 1 of Che

For what it's worth, so far.

 

[Lancemc]

Fucking double post.

 

[lazarus]

How well did you rate Che Part 1?

Carlos would have a lot to live up to for me.

 

[Lancemc]

I greatly preferred Part 2 of Che to the first, and from what I've been told, Carlos does decay in quality a bit as it goes on. But we'll see. I'll have a better review when I've finished it.

Though I have to say, so far Part 2 of Carlos is pretty damn great.

 

[lazarus]

how big was the file size? quality ok?

 

[Lancemc]

700 mb for each part of three. The first two have run a little over an hour and a half each. Quality is fairly good, not great, but it's a solid rip.

 

[lazarus]

Hmm, I just found one that's over a gig for each part. It's moving a little slower but I'm patient.

Plus it has .srt files instead of the fucking .idx/.sub bullshit which I don't use.

 

[Lancemc]

Part 2 also great. Though things are slowing down and I can imagine that most of the complaints I've heard about the third part are likely to ring true.

 

[LMP]

I don't know if any of you guys are aware of this, but at the E.T. ride at Universal Studios, Steven Spielberg shows up as himself in one of the pre-show videos to tell the audience about how they have to help E.T. on his little adventure. At one point, E.T. goes "Steeeeeeven" and they have a little exchange. This kills me every time I see it.

You wouldn't see Scorsese introducing a Taxi Driver ride, would you?

 

[No spoken words]

You wouldn't see Scorsese introducing a Taxi Driver ride, would you?

You stupid fuck, you wouldn't see Scorsese allowing a theme park to use one of his films as a ride in the first place.

 

[LMP]

You're telling me that you wouldn't go on Kundun: The Walk of Shame, or The Great After Hours Adventure? There's money to be made there.

Between both parks, Spielberg's got three (Jaws, Jurassic Park, and E.T.).

 

[No spoken words]

You're telling me that you wouldn't go on Kundun: The Walk of Shame?

I already have.

 

[lazarus]

I'd love to see a giant De Niro foot kicking each tram as a loudspeaker blares "You fuck my wife?" over and over again.

Or maybe you can go through a giant coke straw into Sharon Stone's nose.

 

[lazarus]

In related, real-life news, Disneyland is shutting down Star Tours and turning it into some Pod Race ride.

Mixed feelings on that one. ST is dated but pretty cool considering.

I'll settle with riding in the trunk with Billy Batts.

Aside from Scorsese, the ride I've always wanted to see is a Wonka Tour, complete with a freaky boat section.

Hollywood Studios is too, though rumor has it that Boba Fett and Admiral Ackbar will be prominently featured in the retooled version.

 

[lazarus]

IT'S A TRAM!!






gfy

 

[PhilsFan]

I'd be down for the movie club thing. I need to watch more films.
