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

[Bronson]

It’s a damn crime that this legendary show has not yet been made into a movie.

Lost Boys related - putting in a spoiler not because I’m worried about spoiling anything in a 35 year old movie, but because not everyone might appreciate this theory-

Spoiler

Seen this movie tons of times, but never really picked up on this before. I think the Sam character (Corey Haim) is supposed to be gay. His room has posters of only dudes in it, including one of Rob Lowe posing seductively and bearing his midriff. He wears very colorful - some might say flamboyant - clothes and he sings oldies while taking bubble baths. Joel Schumacher, who directed the movie, is himself gay, so I have a hard time believing all that was coincidence. Doesn’t affect my love for the movie at all. Just an epiphany I had while watching it tonight

lawdog1 Haven't seen it and been wanting to that’s appreciated

Currently

Haven’t seen it since the first party I went to in middle school in 2005, Halloween weekend time. I was such a scared boi watched it behind my fingers and braved up and caught the old woman scene and it scared me to my core

So first time.

Yes. Gray Man is better than 2 of your 5, yet didn't even get a Coaches Poll mention. You must not have seen it. Only logical explanation.

Tar was excellent.

Cate Blanchett at her best.

My list is skewed to earlier in the year releases and stuff that was available to stream cause my wife was pregnant most of the year

You’re absolutely right! Completely forgot about Grey Man. I really enjoyed that one. It replaces Prey on my list. Due to strength of schedule, Prey gets bumped down to honorable mention. Batman stays. SEC bias.

Funny you say this. After I watched Scream the other day, it felt like the two guys at the end had a "special" relationship...

The goat. Such a stupid decision having her character killed off. After her death scene I always shut off the movie.

Today

I don’t know why but this line kills me

“It’s JUUST a puzzle BOX!!!”

“OH no…”

At that scene I knew I was dealing with a villain who was destined to be iconic

 

[osh kosh bosh]

film criticism is in a dark place.

 

[Bronson]

I would add that film itself is in a dark place. We need to go back to year 2002. An era of originality, depth, and creativity. (I’m looking at you, Attack of the Clones.)

 

[Bronson]

What’s a movie where if someone doesn’t like it you know not to trust them? For me it’s Jurassic Park. (1993)

 

[jpzx]

The Dark Knight and The Breakfast Club come to mind right away.

and Super Bad, specifically from a comedic standpoint

[lawdog1]

Show she was in was actually pretty terrible, but I watched just for her.

That said, aged well, she has not.

 

[Mark Antony]

Shame what she did to herself.
