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

[lawdog1]

Wrong thread again.

 

[tommyicerocking]

I watched "Born on the 4th of July"...great film, and I already watched Jerry McGuire 

 

[cash money 1999]

would love to see the pilot , i mean if whitney got the greenlight....lmao

"Following a flurry of sitcom cancellations, NBC has opted not to pick up the pilot for SNL writer/stand-up John Mulaney's new sitcom Mulaney. An ensemble multi-camera show staring Mulaney, Martin Short, Elliott Gould, SNL's Nasim Pedrad, and stand-ups Griffin Newman and Seaton Smith and executive produced by Lorne Michaels, Mulaney seems like a slam-dunk on paper. I attended the pilot taping, and it was super funny, so it comes as a huge disappointment that NBC opted not to pick up the show. The pilots they did pick up had better be good."

best tom cruise movie?

Born on the 4th of July

Maybe Rainman. But that's Dustin's. And not as intense.

Been saving magnolia. Seen every PTA movie except that and the first one.

 

[duba169]

Gotta throw A Few Good Men in the convo

Forgot about this somehow. What the **** was Demi Moore doing it his movie? Besides that it's an excellent movie. Had some corny parts but whatever. I don't think it's on the same level as born on the 4th of July though. Especially of you want to see Tom cruise the true actor not the star

I see u watched born on the 4th already. Yeah I'd go with a few good men. If you are a Kubrick junkie see eyes wide shut. He's okay in it and even though it may be kubrick's worst movie... Well his worst is still watchable on multiple occasions.

 

[jj watt]

I can't believe you guys forgot about Magic Mike
















:x

 

[lawdog1]

Ugh.

 

[big j 33]

He was pretty good in it

 

[duba169]

Any chance TBS picks up happy endings? I finally get attached to it

 

[big j 33]

USA has been the network I've seen the most often as a potential destination

Does the mission impossible trilogy have similar themes to the bourn trilogy?

Themes such as: a job that only one man can do, cheesy girl to aid hero, and some vilian.

Not to me. Bourne is about himself, MI is about the world bein saved in ridiculous ways. Both are good, but personally I like MI series much better.

 

[big j 33]

Those would be tropes, not necessarily themes.

I haven't seen all the MI films recently other than Ghost Protocol, but I don't believe there's any connection between the movies and they're all basically standalone stories. So you won't get the bad guys like you do in Bourne or the ongoing themes of identity and self-discovery.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

I actually liked Go On when I got around to watching it.

@ Sutherland going back to 24. I knew all that Touch talk was nonsense. They should've just went through with making a movie, possibly a trilogy and then ending it there.

I'll watch Happy Endings if it goes to USA or even TBS but I find it weird/funny that once Cougars got picked up and started on TBS I had absolutely no time for it at all. The one time I checked back in the son was in a relationship with his mother's blond friend, didn't think they'd go through with that when they hinted at it before the cancellation.

 

[mitchellicious]

Rebel Without A Cause was weird. Definitely would've had a major impact back in the day, but nowadays it's content is extremely tame

 

[iYen]

Thanks for the info guys.

@big j

What are tropes?

 

[big j 33]

"Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations"

Just a random example.. An explanation and examples in movies and TV

But that whole site is a great resource

 

[CP1708]

It's late....nothing's on, I'm too tired to grab the remote..... Grease 2 is on....why?

Why was this movie made?

Why in the **** is Michelle Pfeiffer in this?

Shooter McGavin was in this?!!?!?

They sang and danced in a bowling alley, and 10 minutes later are singing in class about reproduction.....am I dead????

Wife and I were in a head on collision this week, this movie is more painful than that was. Serious.

Grease is my favorite musical of all time but I've never seen the sequel, I don't think anybody likes it

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Got damn, The Following turned into a big cluster ****.

That movie sucks. The first one is an absolute classic though I used to watch it all the time at my grandma's house as a young'n cos it was the only flick she had on VHS
