The pizza party scene is epicTook 3 nights, but made it through The Godfather. Need to order up part 2 now.
Do they drink wine out of pitchers again?The pizza party scene is epic
no movie reminds me of home like Friends of Eddie Coyle. another flick of the same time, The Brinks Job was close cuz Tony Pino, played by Peter Falk, was the hero of Egleston Sq (my hood), but the way Peter Yates mixed blocks & burbs and that flat, grey way guys were guys in Coyle just nails it. enjoying Friday neo-noirs on TCM - the lineup the other day was Get Carter, Eddie Coyle & Chinatown - hope they keep it going.Some grimy paranoid 70s crime films this weekend: The Friends of Eddie Coyle and The Parallax View. Might have to throw on Night Moves or Klute to finish off the weekend.
Yep that’s where I DVR’d from Eddie Coyle from. Real good stuff. I think it continues for all of July.no movie reminds me of home like Friends of Eddie Coyle. another flick of the same time, The Brinks Job was close cuz Tony Pino, played by Peter Falk, was the hero of Egleston Sq (my hood), but the way Peter Yates mixed blocks & burbs and that flat, grey way guys were guys in Coyle just nails it. enjoying Friday neo-noirs on TCM - the lineup the other day was Get Carter, Eddie Coyle & Chinatown - hope they keep it going.
Less wine more daiquiris in Part 2Godfather 2 getting loaded into the thingy that plays movies. We will see how many nights it takes to get through the sequel.

his last one, i believe. i loved this when it came out - Cliff Robertson sold the obsession a lot better than Jimmy Stewart & Bujold is cute as lace pants. it has not aged wellDecided to keep my 70s crime binge rolling with Brian DePalma’s ode to Vertigo, Obsession. It’s complete with a Bernard Hermann score.
Great movie, and the Ebert commentary is outstanding.Surprised after doing a search that their wasn't any mention of Dark City
Hadn't seen it in years and I like it soo much better. The director's cut came out about a decade ago and Alex Proyas along with others provide great commentary.
Was pleased to see Roger Ebert loved this movie and went out of his way to give very insightful details that go far beyond cinematic critique. THIS is the only commentary I could find from him on-line. He gave so much more detail on the director's cut, really impressed with his mind.
Oh and he had Dark City as his favorite film of 1998 the year it came out.
Didn't realize how influential the film was but the Matrix basically stole many things as one of the producers of Dark City worked on the Matrix.
If you haven't seen it check out Dark City. Very under rated classic sci fi.
Trejo is one delightful dude.Listening to Trejo on Maron podcast too, so a Machete rewatch might be in the cards soon too.
Cause Tattaglia was a pimp. he never could’ve outfought SantinoProbably a dumb question, but how did Vito know it was Barzini at the end of Part 1? just the way he directed the meeting of the 5 families?
he had once seen him teach fish to sleepProbably a dumb question, but how did Vito know it was Barzini at the end of Part 1? just the way he directed the meeting of the 5 families?
Yes. That combined with him not believing Solazzo really had the brains or balls to make a move like this. The meeting seemed framed with Barzini as the clear next in command, everyone followed his lead.Probably a dumb question, but how did Vito know it was Barzini at the end of Part 1? just the way he directed the meeting of the 5 families?
The book explains it. Vito noticed that Barzini used the same phrase at the reconciliation meeting between the Corleones and Tattaglias that Tattaglia had used previously himself. That phrase was that Don Corleone had all the politicians and judges in his pocket like dimes and nickels.Probably a dumb question, but how did Vito know it was Barzini at the end of Part 1? just the way he directed the meeting of the 5 families?
First Brian Cranston - Brian Cranston Recalls Chilling Encounter With Charles Manson "I was within his grasp."Trejo is one delightful dude.
Yeah, the Trejo character on BB was awesome. I wish he'd lasted longer.Bracie Smathers said:First Brian Cranston - Brian Cranston Recalls Chilling Encounter With Charles Manson "I was within his grasp."
I was not aware of Danny Trejo's bizzare encounter with Charlie until only a few days ago apart from this thread.
Danny Trejo Has A Pretty Great Story About The Time He Was Hypnotized By Charles Manson In Jail
They didn't appear on-screen together but of all of the 68 deaths on-screen that Danny Trejo has suffered, THIS one from Breaking Bad is 'probably' the most memorable.
I guess I should probably watch these somedayAnyway, finished up part 2 last night. I am still parsing through my thoughts and why it might be, but I found myself liking 1 more than I remembered and 2 less than I remembered. Again, both great movies worthy of the acclaim, but I had a recollection of me liking them in that order the first time but it was close, and now the gap between them felt slightly wider.
Not my cup of tea, but I can certainly see the appeal. Especially when contemplating the practicality of having a can of shark repellent on hand when you really need it.Love LOVE this movie.

... aaaaand this is why you're not Capo di tutti i CapiProbably a dumb question, but how did Vito know it was Barzini at the end of Part 1? just the way he directed the meeting of the 5 families?
What was great is that they knew it was campy as hell and just ran with it. The bomb-removal scene on the pier was classic.Not my cup of tea, but I can certainly see the appeal. Especially when contemplating the practicality of having a can of shark repellent on hand when you really need it.
I like how they kept the cool (Penguin) /hot (Lee Merriweather Catwoman Eartha Kit ) criminals and left out the lame-ohs (Shame, KingTut, Egg Head).

I guessed The Long Riders immediately once you mentioned 3 sets of brothers.It had been awhile but caught THIS ONE the other night.
May be the only 'known' movie using three pairs of real-life brothers portraying real-life brothers.
The look of this movie is unique. The 'green' pallet was before computer generated schemes so this one really stands out.
Add the score by Ry Cooder and the work of David Carradine as Cole Younger. One of the singular best acting performances in any Western eva!
You have to read this comment from YouTube under the clip.I guessed The Long Riders immediately once you mentioned 3 sets of brothers.
Walter Hill was in fine form on that one and the brothers part worked well! And throw in James Remar as a tough Indian, too.
I’ve only seen LoA once and I’ve vowed I won’t see it again until I can see it on the big screen. I had my chance a couple years ago and was unfortunately unavailable. Hopefully it comes back soon. This pandemic didn’t help increase my chances and the new TV has me tempted to try at home.Next in the pile is Godfather 3, Dark City, and Lawrence of Arabia (one of these days I am actually going to put this damn movie in).
What is?Fantastic looking movie.
I didn't get far- a little past the well scene. My impulse today was similar to yours, and I looked online for the 4k bluray, but I guess that's not a thing? Will continue tonight and try not to pass out after 30mins like usual.I’ve only seen LoA once and I’ve vowed I won’t see it again until I can see it on the big screen.

They released a 4K but it’s only part of a collection of Columbia classics. I would guess they eventually release it individually. It may be streaming in 4K on Amazon to rent though.I didn't get far- a little past the well scene.

My tv isn't working, so if I want 4k currently I need a physical copy.Ilov80s said:They released a 4K but it’s only part of a collection of Columbia classics. I would guess they eventually release it individually. It may be streaming in 4K on Amazon to rent though.
Not on purpose- the reefer makes me super sleepy.Ilov80s said:If you watch 30 mins at a time, it’s going to feel like watching a whole season of a show, could take weeks lol.
w.t.f.?Streets of Fire is now on Netflix. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend. Its awesome.
