Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Watched the OG Poltergeist last night. Just curious - though I know I'm probably the oldest dude on here, wondering if anyone else actually remembers the days when TVs only had 13 channels and went to snow after midnight, like depicted in that movie. C CP1708 ? darthska darthska ?
 
ummmm that was the Bahamas for a good while.. 1 channel with a bunch of crappy programming

then we had a massive satellite that was a game changer.. but that went down during hurricane Andrew.. so I'd say that was the Bahamas til like 1990ish or so

I remember when it did when I was a kid.

The anthem then snow :smh:

Thats why Silver Bullet ****** me up as a kid.
 
^^^ Worst thing was when you fell asleep to something normal and woke up to the snow. **** was freaky to me even before I saw Poltergeist or anything like it.
 
Got me reminiscing about my grandma having a tv on top of a broken tv.

The knob play :smh:

Playing with the hue making everyone green.

I'm hesitant because Denzel is in it and it seems like Hateful Eight Lite.

Did you see The Hateful 8?

Have you seen the OG Magnificent 7 or the 7 Samurai?

Trust, the M7 isn't going to be great dialog and then everybody dying lite. Straight up action western flick.

Never knew there was an original M7, but should have figured as much since nearly everything Hollywood churns out is regurgitated.

And I didn't mean the lite comment as a knock on Hateful 8. I love Hateful 8. I've got it, seen it 3 times, will watch many more times.

I just meant that M7 seemed like a collection of different types of shady people coming together for a good, ol' fashioned western shootout that takes place in the final 3rd of a movie that built up the shootout the entire time. Not that that's bad, but rather that I've just seen that done.

I don't remember that honestly.

I remember few channels, but not the midnight snow.

My 5 comedies:
Wedding Crashers
Liar Liar
Me Myself and Irene
Happy Gilmore
Something About Mary
 
Oh my GAAAWD, Me, Myself and Irene had me CRYING.

Irene, Liar, Ace, Mask, Almighty... Jim Carrey was something FIERCE at one point in time.

I didn't think you were implying TH8 was bad for having that format.

I took "lite" as not as good version as TH8. TM7 only got the western genre in common really. They'll be shootouts from the middle of the 2nd act on after the gather the team part.

Right on.

Do you have any reservations on Denzel flicks?
Click to expand...
In his prime, no.

Sorta like the rest of the great/iconic actors (Hanks, DeNiro, Pacino, etc.) he's kinda coasting. You know what you pretty much gonna get with a Denzel flick. He's not affilated with bad movies so it's just about if you gonna be in to him doing his thing and then enjoying the rest of the movie. Sometimes he'll surprise you.

Like, I really dug Flight. That was a well written movie. Just a good story that engaged me.

But then there's stuff like the Book of Eli that isn't all that good but okay. I mean it had Denzel and Oldman in it.

Also, The Equalizer which was good for the type of old man Liam Neeson flick it was.

I was more apprehensive about the Magnificent 7 cuz it was a Fuqua flick more than Denzel being the lead.

All in all, it looks like it'll be a fun action movie that will have good writing at best. I don't expect to be raving like it rivals the OG or what it's adapted from but a Hollywood remake that did not bomb.

Need this movie to come out so bad. It's between this and Silence for my most anticipated of the year

MAN, listen!

It's between this film and Passengers for my most anticipated film of 2016.

I'm still salty LA LA Land isn't part of the New York Film Festival.

This two month wait is killing me. Contemplated flying to Chicago in a couple weeks to see it during their annual festival

Yes, it's that serious. Film = My Drug

I've seen Me, Myself and Irene many times at this point and not all of it is as funny to me as it used to be. But this makes me laugh out loud every time.


(spoiler because there is some coarse language involved) Every time. :lol:
