Anne Bancroft is incredible as Mrs. Robinson, and Dustin Hoffman as the young Braddock is maybe a bit too "extra"—but hey, I guess the role called for it... all in all, a beautiful movie, visually stunning for me personally, even if the plot feels a little stretched... but whatever... and that soundtrack... man... that soundtrack is legendary...😁

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else has seen it and what you guys think?

Anne Bancroft was only 37 when she played Mrs. Robinson, yet they made her look at least 15 years older. 😁
Thank God for progress...

Think you'll actually get around to watching it before I do?... 🤣

Kenneth Hayes12 said:I don't think Kusturica is an advocate for big-state nationalist politics—if he were, his movies wouldn't be winning awards at major international festivals, and he certainly wouldn't be heading up a jury at one of them.

I actually think you've got it wrong...
I can't quite pin down which specific fallacy you're aiming at here. 😁
Is it Ad hoc, or maybe an Irrelevant conclusion? Honestly, I'm leaning towards a non sequitur. (That's one of those logic slips people make all the time over here in the States, so don't feel targeted by this...)

But let me ask you something—do you think Wagner was any less of an artistic genius just because he held antisemitic views and was a favorite of the Nazi regime? Or what about Knut Hamsun?

You've gotta learn to separate the two. A great artist can be a total piece of work as a human being, but the craft is judged on its own merits—artistic ones. Thank God for that.

Most people who dive into Robert Ludlum novels don't end up disappointed... 🙂I thought both Identity and Supremacy were top-tier—and I'm pretty sure you guys will dig Ultimatum too. 🎉

The movie is solid for what it aims to be—just a straight-up spy thriller. Honestly, the book handles everything way better, but we're talking about two totally different mediums here, so why get into it now... 😁

So... 😲

:2up:

A list without Apocalypse Now? 😲
😲 😲 😲

Total amateurs! 🙂
What even is VIP? Some kind of joke group? :2up:

☕

😁

I thought it was super interesting too 👍 I’d definitely watch it again—it’s such a different take on WWII, for sure...

Here's another one...

The Empire Strikes Back

Jose Chase2 said:The guy is a total joke...👎

😲

As far as I know, he’s one of those rare ones—basically the only one—who actually got into Juilliard at sixteen. So much for "talent"...

Val Kilmer is a legit actor—a true thespian in every sense of the word... I just don't get why he ends up in these total flops, honestly...

Jessica Nguyen85 said:You can't be the first one to start a thread anymore, thank God... 😁

Eh, it's fine... I was really hoping to catch Kilmer in something like Salton Sea. Not quite my vibe though—anyway, moving on... actually, I'm waiting for Bang, Bang, Kiss, Kiss... word is it's pretty good.

So that means I wasn't the only one who watched it 😲?

🎉 🎉 🎉

If you're into those psycho-thrillers that almost hit the mark—and love pointing out logic gaps and random non sequiturs—you gotta check this one out...

The movie could've been way better if the director, producers, and writer actually tried to flesh out the characters and plot beyond just the basic premise. Which isn't bad, though—the whole idea of the FBI training a squad of specialists to hunt down serial killers is solid.
There are a few decent crime scenes, and having LL Cool J & Val Kilmer is a plus, but even they can't save this total disaster of a film.

"Bonus": the most annoying character dies last... 🙂 🙄

It’s all about how you label things... ☕Just semantics, really...

That shot of Mars is pretty cool. Reminds me of one I snapped way back at an observatory during an Astronomy class...
👍

I'm not expecting much from War of the Worlds, but I'll probably check it out just in case. Better to keep my expectations low—saves me from getting disappointed later...
Saw the trailer, though. Really hoping there's actually some substance behind all those gorgeous, terrifying special effects.

Jessica Nguyen85 said:This could actually turn into a pretty fun little game... maybe try finding a thread on Reddit and linking it to some movie.

Like be cool

First attempt: 😁

Psycho

Jeremy Bishop5 said:But honestly, that’ll be old news by tomorrow—since they switch up the lineup every single Thursday, obviously. Whatever though, as long as the theaters stay open and don't shut down on us...!!!

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

Congrats, Marina! 😍

We're talking about... Wag the Dog... With De Niro and Willie Nelson?...
Solid movie... 👍 Solid satire...

Jose Miller17 said:...so, sure, say China was privatized...but if one guy owns everything anyway...why bother trying to outdo himself...it’s not even a split personality issue...😁😁

I'm honestly dying to see his business plan 🤣
Such a reckless, predatory way to handle an investment—just wild... 🙂

And what about the competition?

Jose Miller17 said:...😁😁...they're saying something new is getting built... supposedly next year.

two years ago 😁😁

😂

Honestly, without private ownership and some decent old-school entrepreneurship, there’s just no progress—no real prosperity. It's like, if everyone owns it, then nobody actually cares about it.

....employees at the Indianapolis AMC Theatres haven't seen a paycheck in three and a half months

Unbelievable. Just inhuman. Total business suicide.
