Yea, I think there were lots of Easter eggs and things you wouldn't notice on a first watch. We actually caught a couple (like the hibachi chefs little secret before it was exposed) and some googly eyes. I'm kicking myself though because it's playing right down the street but I never checked, assuming it was pretty limited.

We were planning to see in in the theatre this week in large part due to your review and those from others here, but I ended up not getting away from work in time. Still hoping to see it on the "big screen" (local artsy theatre so not that big), but if not I'll watch it at home.

Robert Mitchum as Max Cady delivers one of my favorite short lines in a movie when the cops come to pick him up at a bar.
He basically warns them not to touch him as he finishes his drink and then with the two-cops escorting him he walks up to the girl he made eye contact with who is with a guy and begins talking to her as everyone is stunned at his boldness.
The girls is unfazed, bemusedly and coyly asks if he is trying to pick her up.
Max Cady says: "Yes, yes I am."
He delivers it perfectly. Crushes the scene with a mic-drop line as he exits.
Don't know why but 'that' is my all-time delivers of a quick line in any movie.
Mitchum is fantastic and very-underrated IMHO.
Great Memorial Day recommendation of one of the best WWII movies that stars Mitchum.

If you haven't seen this and love war movies, esp WWII flicks then this is a must see.
Check it out.

Finally watched this last night. I don't know what the hell took me so long. Terrific movie. I didn't read too much about it so the humor in it caught me by surprise. Really good movie.

somebody's gotta splain me the appeal of the multiverse. is it just cuz we're doing so bad with the microverse than y'all need extra-dimensional layers to hold your hopes & excuses, or is it that world domination is no longer enough in action porn? reminds me of a middle-aged sexual adventurer so ####ed out that he can only get off anymore if a Micronesian in a police uniform wacks him off with her feet

I assume it’s just an element of science that’s become fascinating to many and it works great for the marvel movie makers because then any story can happen and consequences can matter or not matter. Gives total creative freedom. I’m not into those movies so just guessing. The makers of the one truly great multiverse movie, Everything Everywhere…. actually mentioned in an interview that the idea of the multiverse is in general terrible story telling because it means nothing matters and they believe stories should obviously matter and have real consequences. That’s why their movie excels because for all multiverse, jokes and craziness the story really is about a family falling apart and their need to fight to make their relationships work.

Could put this in the documentary thread but...I liked it.
Starts off with the question of "is it authentic or isn't it?" and then moves to an examination of global financial power plays involving Russian oligarchs and Saudi sheiks.
I don't remember hearing anything about this when it happened.

There's another documentary in the same subject that came out about the same time. I haven't seen either docs but both look interesting.

I will have to get the DI 4K. Ford v Ferrari and 1917 obviously look/sound great on those discs.

I'm not big on horror so I'd never seen Coppola's Dracula but I thought it was excellent. The over-the-top style really worked with the subject matter. The 1958 Hammer version of the story with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing was also entertaining. I threw in the Nicolas Cage overacting workshop Vampire's Kiss for a vampire threesome.
The darkness of The Power of the Dog stuck with me for a while.
The Batman started off promisingly enought but wore out its welcome with me by the end.
I'm glad I keep a list because I hardly remember Hard Target other than it starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and it was really stupid.

Those 80's and 90's action movies we grew up on have a lot of schlockiness.
We tolerated that because we were younger and not so discriminate with the stuff we spent our money on.
Case in point -Top Gun. It your a twenty something and are going to watch it so you have reference points before
seeing Maverick, good luck with that. I liked Top Gun and Loved Maverick.

no joke- one of my favorites... I find myself quoting or pantomiming this one quite a bit. and I fully understand it's not a great movie, per se- and it's Nick Cage knee deep in his weird american/UK stylized accent phase... but there are soooo many scenes I ####### love in it and Cage goes all out whack-a-doodle here

Interesting like Coppola’s Dracula so much. I found Keanu absolutely awful and Oldman to be pretty ridiculous.

I agree re: Reeves--he and Winona Ryder act like they were bused in from another movie. They were box office at the time and undoubtedly helped the film get made.
Oldman was nuts but it worked for me with the movie's other stylistic excesses.

I hadn't watched it since I was a teenager many many moons ago. It has an air of 70s made-for-TV movie cheapness to it and bits of it haven't aged well at all but the film still held my interest.

Top Gun: Maverick
I posted in it's thread, but see this in the theater - well worth the ride for the all the flight stuff. Looks amazing.
That said, WTF do modern sequels have to cram so many ####in' nods to the originals. I know I have a low threshold for it, but it seemed a bit too much again in here. A couple nods and move on, I don't need a checklist of 30-40 shots, quotes, songs, etc.. in the movie. I can just watch the other movie.

The callbacks didn't bother me much. There were so many obvious ones that they resisted. Some of the other callbacks I thought were used to smart storytelling effect and more than just "remember this from the first movie". Obviously the 2 biggest reasons for callbacks are that the audience expects it and the movie aims to please.

It started me thinking about it and when it became more and more popular. OR I am just getting old and grumpy and thinking about old movies through rose colored glasses and they were just as bad.
It's just stood out to me more and more in the last decade with stuff like Stranger Things, Ready Player One, Solo, stuff like that where IMO it's just too much and in place of actual story. I mean, I get catch phrases, but this stuff goes too far for my tastes. Actually, I am just going to PM you so I can be specific.

Fan boys (and girls) eat that #### up.
Modern movies are much more about branding than they were even a decade ago.

I too inexplicably liked that version of Dracula but can’t for the life of me remember why.
Spontaneously went to see Everything Everywhere All At Once today (as an aside, searched the thread for the title and as amused by the various manglings of it). Only one other person in the theater with us!
This is undoubtedly an excellent movie. I cried during it, though not quite as much as Mr krista did. The acting, the movie-making…all phenomenal. And yet, and yet…something’s missing for me. I know it’s not my “type” of movie, but that’s not the issue. I can’t quite figure it out and need to sit with it a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2022 Indian blockbuster RRR on Netflix. The Tollywood melodramatics and bizarre musical interludes take some getting used to and the excessive CGI and brutality are a lot but the movie is wildly entertaining with a number of insane action set pieces. It's a period piece about Indian revolutionaries set in the 1920s--a perfect bit of anti-colonialism to watch on the Queen's jubilee.

It's what you would expect. I was captivated the whole time, but a lot of that is just the look, practical effects, and long takes. Like his movies or not, it's hard to deny the talent behind the camera with Eggers.

I was flipping stations the other night and landed on Adventureland. I had forgotten how much I loved this movie - maybe it's from working too many summer breaks in a resort town. Despite my usual cynicism, I quickly found myself shipping the Jesse Eisenberg/Kristen Stewart pairing and there's been a Ryan Reynolds-esque character at pretty much any service industry job I ever worked. Plus [hot take alert], the movie may have one of the best soundtracks ever - from Shannon and the Mary Jane Girls to the JaMC and Velvet Underground. Wub...
