What's TU and TD ?
Thanks for mentioning the movie, got me to watch it when I scrolled by it before in Amazon Video. It's kind of a slow burn in parts, but that works well in the film. The acting, in particular on Vaughn's part, is great, as well as Don Johnson's in his interesting part.Brawl in Cell Block 99
I'd been wanting to watch this one since reading the critical acclamation after it made the festival circuit - currently on Amazon Prime.
It's fantastic, and I can't say enough things about Vince Vaughn. I knew he was a pretty fantastic actor, even though much of his career has been in comedy (I _love_ Old School
He has another film in the works, Dragged Across Concrete, reuniting his Cell Block actors: Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Don Johnson, Udo Kier and adding Mel Gibson to the mix. HIGHLY anticipated.
Thumbs up, down, my personal rating.
Ah, ok
Here's mine:

Just watched October Sky (1999).
It was ok. Could have had less lovey-dovey family / romance **** and included more science (more details on how he actually learned to build rockets).

Hahaha ... yes ! Don't get me wrong, I love MDB (I love almost anything Clint Eastwood), but The Road is .... (no words).

Thumbs Down on these?
Sir, I shall meet you on the battlefield at sunrise tomorrow!
I'll supply the weapons. I've got some pole spears somewhere too.
Escape from New York.
Not seen it in years. Looks so dated now! But it's the best that's on.

Funny, we saw it yesterday too..but on BR
I don't think it looks dated (except for the gigantic iWatch he wore and some other equipment) actually on the contrary - lightning, colours and the settings looked amazing. Imho it's a timeless masterpiece.
And for the record: Saw The Thing a couple of days ago (another timeless one) to celebrate, the still not quite dead, Carpenter. Cheers!
Oh yes it was so compact! Should I go 38mm, 42mm or 160mm Apple Watch?
Depends on your biceps
Btw we were quite entertained by the fact that he was named Plissken..Who comes up with something like that??!
Love it though.

Fuchs: Damn it, MacReady! Listen! There is still cellular activity in these burned remains. They're not dead yet!
A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018) on Netflix.
About the troubled life of Douglas Kenny, half the team behind Harvard National Lampoon, a humor magazine many of us read in the 1970-80s. He was directly involved with Animal House and Caddy Shack before jumping off a cliff in Kauai, Hawaii (1980). The movie reinforces the notion that many involved in comedy entertainment are not that happy. It’s interesting to watch, experiencing a bit of entertainment history but not an enjoyable movie. My wife read he was manic depressive, called bi-polar today.
A well known cover.

Actually, Carpenter said he knew someone named Plissken who was nicknamed Snake. Whether or not this is actually true or if the fellah actually had a Cobra tattoo is debatable...but... I absolutely love Escape From New York, still my all time favorite movie.
Kind of getting whiplash between the multiple rereleases of Argento movies (completely forgot the digital copy of Arrow's restored version of Cat O' Nine Tails was available today*) because of more important real life things I neglected due to new Shaw Brothers movies showing up on iTunes.
*I now have both the U.S. digital and U.K. digital releases of Cat and I suspect this will also be the case with Deep Red come April (as Arrow is releasing their restoration of that here too at long last.) Not sure how I feel about Arrow's restoration of CoNT as it's rather dark (although that's supposively more accurate than Blue Underground's years old release which is much brighter.) Why the heck I am nitpicking when I love that movie is anyone's guess. I think it's sleep deprivation.
Revisited The Magic Blade (1976) and The Proud Youth (1978) today. Love The Magic Blade and dig Chan Wai-Man and Stanley Fung in The Proud Youth, but adapting existing wuxia novels were not Sun Chung's forte (thankfully he went back to making his own after TPY.) I am utterly stunned that Celestial suddenly seem to get how important Sun Chung's filmography is to Shaw Brothers, but they keep releasing his lesser movies, while I impatiently wait for Judgement of An Assassin. And I almost fell into watching The Deadly Breaking Sword again, which is still my favorite Shaw Brothers movie (and Sun Chung flick despite Judgement... being a better story all the way around.)
I need some zzzz's, no way will I even attempt to pull MacReady's hours.
I've always been curious about that and the odd but vague connections to Metal Gear Solid's Solid Snake.
It's not too bad, there are a few creative choices that may or may not click with folks.
