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

Up on hanger was good. The suspense and lead up to the first test run was intense. Was able to stay awake through the whole movie. The dialogue was fast paced which helped and pretty much all the actors murdered their roles. Honestly didn't even notice dude was Robert Downey Jr until like the last hour. Just played the character so good all I saw was the character. Great movie. Met the hype for sure.

That Gal Gadot Netflix film was really mid.

Then they hit the Netflix original film standard.

I am in Silicon Valley, but I’m a public servant now. I work for the County of Santa Clara - main office in San Jose. I’m advising the 3 hospitals that the County operates on legal issues.

Current have an apartment in Santa Clara right near the University. My family and I are exploring the area before we sell our place in LA and settle in NorCal.

I'm in the East Bay. But I got friends in SJ. smooth spot Santa Clara. You have 49ers and Great America but more importantly World Cup gonna be at Levi's in 2026.

But since this is the movie thread you have great small theaters that have some rare film showings around there. And for actual proper 70mm film at 1.43:1 Aspect ratio the only two around us is at Regal in Dublin and the Meteron in SF

I'm sure you knew that, I lurk this thread and just so happened to see your post .

I'm gonna view it twice just to compare

Air is awesome. Wish I saw it in theaters. When Damon came up with the idea to sign Mike , gave me goosebumps.

The world wasn’t ready for Mike to be that TOUGH and in the Chi

iirc it was things around nike's true spending cap on getting jordan, his mom's role or the extent of it, who came up with the name Air Jordan, and how sonny put his job on the line and did the negotiating behind the back of jordan's agent. basically they're exaggerated facts to make it more dramatic

The real world of it probably a lot more dramatic though. Like imagine the million tiny things it took for that occur - the day to day nuances - that’s something a movie can never capture. The make or break of a business is sometimes truly a game of inches. We can look back on the end result now but that could of gone sideways any thousand number of ways

Crazy how huge converse was as a basketball shoe company compared to now. How the times changed. Jordan really the GOAT.

I mean, it was a movie, not a documentary. Like I don't watch Titanic and think "Oh, there was a band playing as the ship went down? I never knew that. What an interesting fact that this movie has educated me on."

Powerline had BANGERS

 

[calibeebee]

St. Vinnies had some heat

They also had The Abyss special edition right next to another VERY popular James Cameron film involving boats and water. It looked pristine.

McConaughey said he auditioned and lost out on the role and never got the offer

Ethan Hawke would have been a GREAT Jack

Lisbeth Salender
A role I have yet to see miscast.
Naomi Rapache
Rooney Mara
Claire Foy

As much as I loved the other two, I think Claire is my favorite casting.
They took 3 women that are all cute as a button and made them all BA batches.
Edge of tomorrow did the same with Emily Blunt. I rewatched EDGE OF TOMORROW last week and it has sent me down a rabbit hole of cute as a button Women(in my opinion) that they turned into BA’es.
Jennifer Lawrence in Red Sparrow, (also watched her in MOTHER recently), Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde and Mad Max, Sasha Luss as Anna, Jessica Chastain as Ava(loved her in that role), watched the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo( damn Rooney Mara was a sexy ugly *** hacker) and finally I’m on a rewatch of what might be my favorite and that’s The Girl in the Spiders Web. Claire Foy is one of the few id say yes to.
