Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

[twietee]

That was the Tesseract, a very Scifi plot device, a means to reach across time, you either buy into it or not.

I know.

Spoilers
Thing is, why would 'they' (5th dimension folks) set up such a frail, luck dependent, 'bound to fail' method of fixing things in the past when they were smart enough to develop a Tesseract in the first place? Not to mention the basic question of how it is even possible for mankind to 'evolve' in such a way to rescue themselves from extinction in the past? edit: And I don't mean 'how did they create the Tesseract specifically' but how could mankind survive in the first place to evolve up to a point where it could rescue itself in the past? Basic question which always comes up when having to do with timetravel (or related ) topics - Nolan spells out a lot of things, details etc but avoids this basic question (unless I just missed it, certainly possible since I watched it in English).

I want answers, Huntn! ;D

As for the Kubrick ending, I absolutely love it!

But to anyone who liked Interstellar (and 2001 of course) and haven't watched those already: I highly recommend Moon and Tarkovsky's Solaris.

I agree. It was really good, but I wish they hadn't milked the series and split the final movie into 2 parts. The more I think about it, Part 1 doesn't seem to stand as a movie on it's own, it's basically a long build-up to Part 2. Enjoyable, but somewhat incomplete nonetheless.

Agreed, it should have been just one movie.

Cabinet of Caligari (1962) - this was fun. I wish it would have ended on the Twilight Zone zinger note since the climax felt like a classic TZ episode.

Annual Rewatch of The Wizard of Oz. Kind of like the 10 Commandments in our house.

I may dust off something tonight while waiting to fix my iMac.

Last night, I tried to sit down and watch Oliver Stone's Alexander. I couldnt finish it, the acting was just so bad.

 

[Apple fanboy]

Watching Harry Brown. Not a feel good film, but a sad reflection on some parts of our inner city's. Glad I live elsewhere for sure!

Watching "A Dog's Life" on Turner Classic Movies. It is one of my favorite Chaplin shorts, along with "Idle Class." Chaplin was a master in so many ways. It is a shame that movies like his early ones aren't made today.

Yes, I saw the silent version eons ago. I was quite surprised when I checked the date of this because I thought the same thing you did (Huh 1962?!)

2001 and Moon are two of my faves!

Well, personally, I love the original (silent) version of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari; it is superb.

And the Wizard of Oz is one of those movies that repays endless viewings, and one never tires of watching it - it is brilliant from start to finish, a genuine masterpiece.

he he he... i love this film.

wait... 1962?

I was about to ask the exact same question; the silent version is stunning - I couldn't believe that it had been made in 1919 when I saw it years ago in a university art house cinema - it was gripping and spellbinding cinema.

We packed the series in our travel box for our working trip overseas. Excellent series.

Yes, it is indeed. One can never go wrong with Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones!

Amen to that!

Amen to that!

Can you ever go wrong with Harrison Ford Period?

Most recently, Godzilla.

In a Lonely Place (1950)

A potentially violent screenwriter is a murder suspect until his lovely neighbor clears him. But she begins to have doubts...

Any fans of Sin City see the sequel ? I'm thinking about watching it but I don't wanna be let down. The original movie was so good.

Lacks the brutal impact of the first one, but it is worth watching.

Can you ever go wrong with Harrison Ford Period?

Yes. You call it the Crystal Skulls, and you make it awful. And you cast Shea Lefuff. And you make it awful.

And, now I'm sad.

Indeed. If there is an Indy 5, I hope Harrison uses his clout to retcon Indy 4 out of existence. Or maybe just Shia...

You beat me to it, lol.

 

[Apple fanboy]

I thought it was alright. I think its in keeping with the style of the older movies. Newer versions are never going to stand up to their older reveared predecessors.
Look at the Star Wars or Alien franchises.

Can't see the new Jurrasic park movie going down well either.
