Oops: forgot something. I hate to double-post but, you asked...

Oh yeah, and, if you can track down Society (which can be a slippery bugger... and I'm not just talking about the mutant-orgy scenes), you might like to let that one blow your mind.

As for Body Snatchers, the only version I think I've caught to date was the 1978 film. Abel Ferrera's 1993 remake was on Netflix (Watch Instant) for awhile but I missed it.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

On the Waterfront was tonight.

Marlon Brando is great. All the casting in this movie is, really.

Well I finally saw a BP nominee for this year- Dallas Buyers Club

Maybe it's because he's owning it each week on True Detective, but I honestly don't see Matthew McConaughey's performance as award-worthy. Jared Leto's is another story, although I do agree that it would have been better if they got an actual trans person for the role.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?

I'm currently chewing on Are You Lonesome Tonight? A 1992 made-for-TV "erotic" thriller which I've been utterly fascinated by since I was a kid. And which I'll probably watch a full once more before attempting to review it (I can't think of anything I can say which will do it justice: it's golden cheese with a little something beautiful as a cherry on top in the last 15-20 minutes).

We haven't done many movies within the last week or so. But we got back to it yesterday with Apocalypse Now.

I think I'll need to give this movie a rewatch sometime. There's a lot to take in from it. But how good it is goes without saying.

I'm guessing your joke is as horrible as the movie is.

I watched Romancing the Stone and it's sequel.

Fun stuff.  :thumbup:

That stings. But yeah, Carrie was pretty bland. It got to the point where I completely forgot she even had supernatural powers because the film itself forgets about it at times.
To be honest, of Stephen King's early stuff it has always been my least favorite.

It's also the only one that has received three movies.

Go figure.

The book is a very fascinating by the facts story, while the original film succeeds at straight horror, but what I've heard about the new movie isn't good.

I can see why. Chloe Moretz is too strong-minded of an actress to pull off a character like Carrie, and it's too obvious to take the story into a modern anti-bullying tale.

The Treasure of Sierra Madre was tonight's movie.

The three guys, especially Humphrey Bogart, act their parts perfectly. And I think it really works that, in the end, the gold...

I think Sierra Madre's my favorite Bogie movie besides Casablanca and maybe In a Lonely Place.
