I don't know why but I wondered if The Host was directed by him. Maybe because he's the only South Korean director I know. Or maybe it's because I had seen that movie listed in his filmography and...
Top Gun: Maverick. Not sure why I watched this because I never cared for the first one. This was considerably better and I liked it, in spite of myself.
Aliens: The Director's Cut. I almost never...
:up
Out of curiosity, I checked his acting credits. According to IMDb, he has 322.
His first role (uncredited) was in 1940 in The Sea Hawk. His last was on Falcon Crest in 1984.
The man certainly...
Now you know how some of us felt about Hamilton and Schumacher.
Jesus. Was Whit Bissel in everything? :lol

I haven't had a chance to listen to this, yet, but wanted to share the podcast of an episode of the NPR show 1A (left click to listen, right click to download): How F1 Is Shifting Gears In The US
:lol
Reminds me of the scene from That 70s Show when Eric went to see Annie Hall with his mom; this should start at the relevant scene (5:25):

:lol
Wow.
Double wow.
:O
I say we revoke his Classics Cinephile membership card.
All those in favor?
:p
I had no idea what it was about. Now I'm really interested in seeing it. Thanks for the rec.
Young Sheldon. I come and go with this show, mainly because I've grown weary of Sheldon. The rest of the characters are fine (other than Craig T Nelson's). But I'm mentioning this show because you...
That's Headley!
I'd rather oil up Emilia Clarke.
I liked it. I was disappointed to find out it was a limited series, though, because I felt like there was more of a story to be told.
Searching...
How was Past Lives? I've seen the trailer and thought it looked interesting.
This Friday, March 1:

Funny thing about Susan Dey: I always thought she talked kinda funny on the Partridge Family. It was only after I started "getting hopped up on the reefer" (as Dave Letterman put it) that I thought,...
Ahhh. Now it all makes sense. (I had a crush on Tatum O'Neal)
Matt Dillon's character was such a little shithead in that movie. It's interesting how he often played shitheads.
In addition to the "arty" and esoteric stuff, I also enjoy animated family movies. Well, last night I watched the Spielberg directed The Adventures of Tintin.
It was a bit frenetic in parts but,...
2.5 out of 5 or out of 10?
I didn't bother to watch the trailer but it looks like it's about a grumpy cat.
IKR? I can't remember who but there was one actress who commented that he could always get her to say things she wouldn't normally say, with lots of innuendo.
I used to watch the show all the...
I was going to comment on the supposed correlation between deaths and ovals and forgot.
I personally don't think the problem was with short ovals... in general. Shortly after the CART/IRL split,...
A lot of the lower attendance can also be attributed to the CART/IRL split. Initially, most fans sided with CART even though nothing in CART could compete with the Indy 500. Eventually, most of the...
CBS fucked up letting him go.
Did you ever see his interview with Sarah Shahi? OMG, she is so sexy in this interview. Plus, she might be a little tipsy and things get a little out of hand. But the...
Not to be pedantic but Michigan is what they called a "D" oval, because the back straight was actually straight. Until '96, fastest laps at Michigan were always faster than anywhere else, where cars...
As great as I think it is, I also recognize that it's a load of "fun" when X) out of your mind.
In fact, reports of the time made note of the number of young people going to see it tripping....
I've never seen a perfect film. But 2001 comes very close and definitely is my #1.
Well, actually, I have two #1s:
Objectively speaking, I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is the greatest movie ever...
Okay, I'll bite. What are the other four?
If you do, pay close attention to the editing during the scene when Montag gets the call from the woman telling him to get out of the apartment. I've never seen anything like it, before or since.
...
Justified was very good, of course.
The most memorable have to be MASH and Newhart. Indeed, Newhart's is regularly cited as the best ever.
I know a lot of people didn't care for Seinfeld's. I...
:lol
Yeah, I mentioned Deadloch some time ago. Great show. But follow Jerol's advice.
A Murder At The End Of The World I have not seen but did put on my watchlist, I think.
I know a guy who's a professional guitarist, who's recorded numerous albums with his first band, in addition to solo albums – and who's reasonably well known on this site, in fact – who told me...
That's my favorite DF album.
There are only three songs on that album I like. I thought the album title was their most apropos. In other words, they recorded a bunch of songs they'd never...
I got ya all set, Jed, if you don't mind used copies, which it looks like you don't.
Go to Half Price Books: https://www.hpb.com/
At the top, in between the logo and the search window is "your...
At the very least he was a gentleman scholar. I saw a documentary where he was discussed in depth (I think it was The Sunshine Makers, which is available on Amazon). The dude was self-taught in sound...
What don't you have, yet?
Oh I'm sure. DF lives in NYC and concerts there are a given. You just might have to wait a year or two. Besides, they're currently touring with the Eagles and who would...
Wow, check out all the former F1 and current IRL drivers entered into Le Mans this year, all in hypercars and in alphabetical order:
Sébastien Bourdais
Sébastien Buemi
Jenson Button
Mike Conway...
In the words of Scooby, "ruh-roh".
Neither the energy drink company nor the British-based team have given details of the allegations, although media reports have spoken of inappropriate and...
Who Is Erin Carter? is a limited series on Netflix about a teacher living in Barcelona who exhibits some "abilities" after she takes out some guy robbing a grocery store.
I've only seen two...
IKR?
I only finished it because I wanted to see how it ended but I wasn't too invested in it at that point.
That's a really good question. :lol Max, I think.
Her casting piqued my interest. I guess now I'm gonna have to add to the watchlist. Love Tina.
Watched The Lobster, yesterday. Wondering if anyone else saw it, I searched this thread and came across Progeezer's review:
Anyone else see The Lobster, the dystopian film w/Colin Farrell, Rachel...
That's not an unfair comparison. lol Angela was cute; Ingrid was gorgeous.
Speaking of documentaries, I watched Navalny, yesterday, the multi-award winning (including an Oscar) film on Alexei Navalny, the Russian lawyer, activist, opposition leader, and eventual political...
Has anyone checked to see if any of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have appeared, yet? ;)
I'm a sucker for music history but I think I'd rather watch a retrospective on 50s R&R than see a...
Now there's a switch. A Klonk kind of movie that I liked more than you.
Yeah but Madeline Kahn cute?

^ Where'd you see it?
Speaking of Peacock, I've been hearing numerous reports about Caitlin Clark's march toward the NCAA women's basketball career scoring record over the last several weeks. Clark is a point guard for...
Damn. Foiled again.
Didn't we talk about it before and I recommended it to you?
On a side note, several years ago I read an excellent book called Hunting Eichmann, about the Mossad's hunt and capture of the German Lt. Colonel who was essentially the "architect" of the Holocaust....
I agree. Some of us, however, actually like the facts, even if they make us uncomfortable.
IDK, I kinda blame the Soviets for that. Germany did the same thing to Poland in 1939 so the USSR...
Agreed. I mentioned it in this thread a few years ago. Ron Livingston plays Loudermilk and is perfectly cast.
That's in the footage I mentioned.
I'm not trying to defend German civilians in any way, but concentration and extermination camps were always a few klicks from the nearest town, usually out in a...
They turned a blind eye toward the concentration and extermination camps.
There's old footage of when a US general ordered the townspeople outside Buchenwald to tour the camp. It's kind of...
