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

I remember being assigned to read The Odyssey between my HS freshman and sophomore year. I did not read it. At least this time I have two years.

Conversation on Artificial Intelligence came up and some people mentioned that it's one of the saddest things they've ever seen.

I've never seen it.
Any of you?
Sad or nah?

I cried when I watched it for the 1st time as a 15 year old. If you have mommy issues, it hits pretty hard.

I thought it was the greatest film ever made when it first came out. As an adult, it didn’t hit as hard. I think everyone should watch it though. Pretty wild ride

If you have mommy issues, it hits pretty hard.

What if a person has mommy issues, daddy issues, family issues, people issues, trust issues... ?

it would probably be triggering. I mean, the synopsis is that a robot BOY is adopted by a human family and tries to fit in with the normal family dynamic.

If you replace robot with orphan or foster child, you pretty much have the same film. But just set in Blade Runner type dystopian sci-fi future.

I watched A.I. one release day. I was in my film making era and it being a Spielberg film which originally was Kubrick project and starring Jude Law from Talented Mr Ripley and the kid from The Sixth Sense.. it's the perfect storm! Well, first half always promising. The last half tho was just... meh. It went too long. I wanted to see more of the family dynamic but it just went off the rails.

I need to rewatch it. I haven't seen it in 15+ years and now I appreciate that type of Sci fi more than in 2001.

Watched it back when it released and didn’t like it at all, at all.
Rewatched about a year ago and thought it was phenomenal. The last 20 minutes really did pick at my heart something serious. It felt like a true story.

A “real” Christmas movie?! Listen up pal.
36 years ago today, Sgt. Al Powell investigated a prank call and ended up saving countless lives at Nakatomi Plaza on CHRISTMAS EVE.

Today we remember him and honor his bravery.

Today we get in the Christmas spirit



DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUS was made a year before HOME ALONE. But it is what happens when you take HOME ALONE, RAMBO, excessive blood and style and set the blender on maximum.

1) I didn't know this movie would be in French
2) ~3 minutes in and this kid already has a training montage to some "Eye of the Tiger" knock-off

What have I gotten myself into
