I'd never thought about that but it's a good way of looking at it. I just checked the novel which describes the scene as 'The six Ducky Boys had multiplied into hundreds, lining the woods and the playing fields' which is pretty much what you see in the movie but I sort of prefer your take on it rather than seeing it as a simple adaptation of what Price wrote.

The novel is really just a series of interconnected short stories (similar to Last Exit to Brooklyn) and the main set pieces run in a different order. That might be why the film feels a little disjointed, although I've not noticed it personally.

Godzilla was on TV yesterday, it was cooler than I thought it would be. This was the 2014 version.


But what was even better was the news during commercials that there will be a new PREDATOR movie! It's coming out next week and it's written & directed by Shane Black. The guy that wrote Lethal Weapon is now making the new Predator!
I might even go to an actual cinema to go watch it!

Urgh, the full plot got leaked for that new Predator film. Now, I love Shane Blacks films but God knows what he's thinking with this one.

you just won the award for party pooper of the month


thanks!

Sorry! Personally I've been stung too many times by the new terminator films, same with predators, and the Prometheus films. Refuse to get sucked into it.

Then again, I'm holding a smidge of hope that Shane Black knows what he's doing and he'll pull it off. It's a smidge of hope, mind...

So what's everyone's favourite Burt Reynolds film? Also what was his most underrated film?

[!@#$%!]

i haven't seen a lot of his movies except maybe for deliverance, and unfortunately don't rememer a lot of boogie nights, but speaking of small parts, he was funny/memorable playing god (?) in the x-files

Man I used to LOVE the Burt Reynolds silly films when I was a young kid in the 80's. I loved Cannonball Run, Smokey & The Bandit (watched that one WAY too many times on VHS)

[demonrail666]

Yeah, watched the crap out of Burt Reynolds films as a kid.

Part of me will always want a trans am

Deliverance is a good movie, I haven't seen it in years. I love Boogie Nights. It's a grower.

From what I recall, Dirk was a shower </sad_trombone>

for the umpteenth time,

stanley kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)

 

fucking masterpiece, i’ve seen it i don’t know how many times, but it’s always a great experience. back when i was in college i’d find whatever cine club or repertoire movie house was showing it and go see it. it is always disturbing and fascinating and hilarious and beautiful and horrifying at the same time.

last night i sat with my eyeballs almost glued to the screen, noticed so many things i had not seen before, like john fahey’s album in the glass case of the record store...listened to it before going to sleep last night.

amazing, all that color, really. and malcolm mcdowell’s best role ever probably. damn damn damn. and what compositions... this thing is always too much for the senses.

The Nun.



Enjoyable in a not-very-scary way.

Still one of the best goddamn movies ever made.
Not even my favorite Kubrick... I don’t think... don’t quote me on that, it might be my favorite.

for me it is *probably* barry lyndon which im set to watch soon this season

barry lyndon is superb in that the story is great, the photography is great, the cast is weirdly great for its purpose, the music is magnificent, it is all great.

[evollove]

This is great. A huge collection of some excellent short films covering a variety of genres. Most are really well made by promising unknowns. My short attention span loves this.

Yep, Barry Lyndon is an excellent film.

Mine has to be Full Metal Jacket, though. I’m pretty sure that’s the answer. As of this second.
