He was great, but since he was billed as one of the leads, I didnt see that coming and wish he had a bigger role.I know The Square was on instant watch, have been meaning to check that one out. I saw another Aussie film a few months ago with Edgerton called Acolytes. A few teenagers find a dead body and track down Edgerton. Not sure if I'd recommend it really, but it was different and interesting, had a real good ending, and Edgerton was once again very good.
I didnt think it was great, but it worked for me. Could easily see how people would be bored by it though.
Wife and I have tickets to see it at the theater next week. I absolutely love it and have seen it half a dozen times.
I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.
He really should have just tried on the glasses.
Now I'm definitely a visuals guy- and I only caught part of this... but it's a mess. still nice to look at, but definitely not enough to warrant more than checking out a few minutes to get a feel for the eye-candy.
Subtitles FTW.
I don't think my on demand provider offers the option of turning on subtitles.Subtitles FTW.
Very ambitious but I was bored with the dialogue 15 minutes in. Didn't help that they made JGL look like a goober.
See what I mean - it's revered as a classic here! No wonder I was disappointed with this mediocre film.
Just wondering - did you go in expecting a legit sci-fi movie or did you know it was going to have Carpenter's brand of humor? It's hardly a masterpiece of film making but it's brilliant in its own way. I remember more about They Live than 99% of the movies I've seen.
Dwight Henry got snubbed. Great story. Alan Arkin?
I liked Arkin in Argo a lot. But yeah, Henry should have been nominated.
It definitely has a strong following. Alamo is having three screenings and all sold out a week in advance, at $2/ticket more than new releases.
I haven't seen it in like 20 years, but I recall enjoying it.
Agreed.
Hmm... part of what I love about the movie is that it's not linear.
The greatness of the movie is that it follows the traditional narrative arc (setup, inciting incident, rising action, mid-story cool-down, apparent defeat, then the hero saves the day by overcoming his inherent weakness/fatal flaw, etc.) in order, yet the scenes are not.
almost got this a few times from my library but passed. I will have to check it out now.
It's actually pretty good. First scene is the watch hiding scene with Christopher Walken. Good way to kick off a movie.
are you kidding me? I never watched the film but I recall the Upton scene creating a brouhaha before the release, I cant believe they would actually cut that scene from the film altogetherPlus they cut out the Kate Upton scene'jdoggydogg said:
I liked it, too. Old fashioned, creepy, suspense in scary setting.
interesting
Agreed. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as great as people here were saying.
Nobody else saw this? It affected me- want to see how others felt about it.
And...
Dumb idea for sure. They should make a biopic about them, not attempt to do their slapstick with actors portraying Moe, Larry, Shemp, and Curly.'jdoggydogg said:
I agree that the baby pee scene didn't work, although Curly changing diapers which initiated it was pure Stooge all the way, but not every scene in the original Stooges worked either.I enjoyed it overall and thought it was a faithful and respectful representation of the Stooges and their humor. Not the funniest movie I have seen but I still laughed a lot during the first and third acts.
Carpenter's version was a remake of the 1951 film "The Thing From Another World".
Thought jdogg was talking about the 2011 remake/prequel.
It wasn't a remake, it was a prequel. Big difference.
Id like to watch Looper again, still unsure how much I really liked it, but I dont recall anything supporting the bolded.
