"You're gonna need a bigger screen"

View attachment 51510

My favorite movie ever. Saw it at way too young if an age. I was about 4 or 5. It did not make me afraid of the ocean. I can quote Quint's Indianapolis speech verbatim while doing a very bad impression of Robert Shaw.


I wanted to be a marine biologist at one point. Then discovered they have to rely on a lot of grants and most were rich before they studied it.

That's how Hooper did it!

I loved this book and am really looking forward to the movie.

Me too! Really enjoyable read that I hope translates well to the big screen.

Who's hyped for Superman? I have tickets for the Amazon Prime July 8th showing.

It's an absolute delight. It's got a lot of Gunn's trademark silliness, but never looses sight of who Superman is and what he represents--things which Zack Snyder never understood.

They're finally making the King (Bachman) movie I've always wanted to see!

Last night while working on sorting motorcycle parts I watched "Equalizer 3" again. It aired on cable - FX. They showed it a 2nd time and I enjoyed it so much earlier, I watched it a second time.

I had seen the movie before. Not long after it was aired on cable. But you know sometime after some time has gone by and you see a movie again - you get to focus on more of the little things going on - stuff you may have glossed over the first time.

I may even like it better than the first two Equalizers. Hard to say and a good debate to have with one's self!

I have no idea how they're going to get this book into a single movie, but I'll be there to find out!

I agree.
I highly recommend the audible version of this book. Without giving anything away in the plot, I can't imagine reading parts of this in my voice in my head instead of in the musical tones conveyed in audible.

I also can't really picture Gosling as the Dr. He seems too Ken-ish. Maybe he's Kenough for this role, but I'm skeptical.

I really liked the first two but the third equalizer is my favorite.

I really liked the first two but the third equalizer is my favorite.

I was a fan of the TV version in the 80's. Really enjoyed the concept. Just saw E3 awhile back and feel that it is in many ways the best of the 3 which is rare.

My fav. scene in this one.......Yul is fantastic!

 

[Bazza]

Airing tonight on TCM........

Anthony Bourdain told a story of when he was a cook early in his career, they’d have “The End” on the radio in the kitchen, and when Jim Morrison started singing “This is the end…” they’d hit the pan with oil making big flames like the jungle getting napalmed in this scene.

To show how much of an old Fogie I am -- I am watching Casablanca tonight. I watch it at least once a year...love this movie.

Mark Ruffalo Returning as the Hulk for ‘Spider-Man 4’

But wait, that's not all.

Before anyone says it, yeah MCU movies have been pretty "meh" lately, but Spiderman is still a hot property. I'm still pretty annoyed that Spidey and Venom haven't clashed yet, but I'll watch this anyway. (And NO, McGuire vs Grace does not count.)

IYKYK.......

I remember the "At the Movies" review of this movie when it first came out. This was the Siskel and Ebbert duo who did movie reviews. Their show was on Saturdays.

I really enjoyed their show with the introspection they offered involving things the average movie goer (me) wouldn't think of.

This is one of my all time favs....here's a nice video montage tribute with one of the songs from the fantastic soundtrack:

Soundtrack from the 1982 Peter Weir film, "The Year of Living Dangerously," with Mel Gibson, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hunt, Bill Kerr, Bembol Roco, Noel Ferrier, Mark Egerton & Michael Murphy.
