brownie Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just came back from my second viewing of Once Upon A Time....In Hollywood. Holy moly. *laughs* It’s been years since I’ve loved a film this much. Anyone else see it? Thoughts? NO SPOILERS. I think Brad Pitt was born to play the role of Cliff Booth.

jff Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Working my way through season 2 of Barry, and it seems to have gone in perhaps the most bizarre direction I've ever seen in a TV show. Link to post Share on other sites

Between this and Inglorious Basterds, I wish Brad Pitt was in EVERY Tarantino movie. I want him to do a special edition of Pulp Fiction where he CGIs Brad Pitt over John Travolta. Also, isn't there a way to cover up spoilers on this board. I have another comment I want to share... Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Saw "Once Upon A time in Hollywood" over the weekend and liked it quite a bit. Not nearly as shockingly violent as every other Tarantino movie. I also watched "Rolling Thunder Revue" and loved it. Finally, I finished Season One of both "City on a Hill" (they killed my wife's cousin, dammit!!) and Killing Eve. Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Saw "Once Upon A time in Hollywood" over the weekend and liked it quite a bit. Not nearly as shockingly violent as every other Tarantino movie. Saw it yesterday and loved it. My favorite Tarantino movie since Pulp Fiction. I couldn't believe how many times I laughed throughout the movie. I haven't seen many films this year, but it's by far my favorite so far. Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Been watching Sasha Baron Cohen's "The Spy" on Netflix. A little slow, but very interesting and well-made. Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I saw Motherless Brooklyn and The Lighthouse during the past week. Enjoyed both though I'm still trying to figure out The Lighthouse. Willem Dafoe is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 A little late to the party - but we just watched both seasons of Fleabag. I really loved it. Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The Mandalorian is pretty sweet. A great western set in the Star Wars universe AND Werner Herzog among many others. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 A little late to the party - but we just watched both seasons of Fleabag. I really loved it. Season 1 was good. Season 2 was genius - The Office Party episode particularly, and then the episode of the mom's funeral were both very excellent viewing. The Mandalorian is pretty sweet. A great western set in the Star Wars universe AND Werner Herzog among many others.I'm enjoying it too. I love seeing visual storytelling with minimal dialogue. Besides Rogue One, this is the closest thing I've seen in the Star Wars broadcast universe that compares to the feeling of the original and Empire Strikes Back. Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Saw JoJo Rabbit and The Irishman last week and took my mom to see A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood tonight. Loved JoJo Rabbit, especially Roman Griffin Davis, who plays JoJo, and Thomasin McKenzie, who plays Elsa. Maybe it's because I had no expectations going in, but I was very impressed with this film. Even the details were appealing. The Irishman was a good gangster movie, but three and a half hours of almost anything is too much. I liked it, but I don't think it lives up to the hype. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was good because of Tom Hanks. I wasn't crazy about the script and thought it was a little too cheesy at times. Hanks nailed the role of Fred Rogers. He is the modern version of Jimmy Stewart for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I took my 14 year old son to Jojo Rabbit. He and his friend liked it. I'm glad he's getting into weird stuff. I was hoping for a more powerful ending, but it was a very good movie. Sam Rockwell is so good. Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Season 1 was good. Season 2 was geniusQFT. That second season is about as good as TV has done. Just shy of Patriot’s brilliance. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Netflix aired The Irishman Wednesday night and it was totally engrossing to me the whole time - 3.5 hours. In this day and age that is crazy-long but it deserved the treatment. It was really nice how it stuck to history most of the way. After reading Lawrence O'Donnell's EXCELLENT book on 1968 (Playing With Fire) and any number of JFK/RFK bios you get a real feel for the antipathy between the people involved. No spoilers, just make sure you see it. Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Saw "Ford v. Ferrari" and "Knives Out" last week. "Ford v. Ferrari" was fun. I wasn't familiar with the story. Christian Bale and Matt Damon were great. "Knives Out" was very enjoyable. The cast was outstanding. National treasure M. Emmet Walsh even had a one-minute part. Link to post Share on other sites
