General Movie Discussion

Both of those lists made me irrationally angry.

that is paywalled to hell and bc it's interactive it's not working with archive

 

This Is 40 fucking sucks. Invalidates the whole list (which was already bro comedy trash)

 

bourne identity over fury road is bullshit

 

Bridesmaids being #1 invalidates that whole list . It’s funny and girl pooping is hilarious but #1? More like a #2…

 

I mean, four female ghostbusters? The feminists are taking over.

 

I have never understood why the Bourne movies are popular. There are shittier franchises but I understand why they are popular. The Bourne movies are bland as fuck

 

Uhhhhhhh John Wick?

 

And WOKE was invented in 2013. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Nw: north by northwest

 

There’s no world in which No Time To Die is better than Fallout

 

Might be because you’re dumb

 

Also Mel Gibson ties up the family dog in the garage during an alien invasion

Real piece of work that guy is

 

I watched the first one and wasn’t really a fan. I’m sure I’ll watch the rest sometime. But don’t feel compelled to.

 

I am probably the smartest person who ever lived so nice try

 

This doesn’t make any sense. JW has nothing to do with espionage and the action in John Wick is something Bourne movies would never attempt.

 

lol that’s not true at all. JW owes its existence to hong Kong movies and gun fu. You are talking completely out of your ass. Take a lap

 

What's your favorite old movie?

Mine would have to be Sergeant York [1941]

 

How old is old ?

 

Before you were born I guess?

 

Gary Cooper was pumping out some good shit back in the day.

Might as well grab High Noon while I'm at it.

 

Double Indemnity
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Notorious
Sunset Boulevard

basic but they're all so good

 

Rosebud

 

Seeing sunset in theaters next month. Excited.


Need double indemnity to hit streaming.

 

No country for old men

 

The Third Man
Ac in the Hole
The Apartment
High and Low

 

The Birth of a Nation

 

Hitchcock is pretty undefeated at casting an absolute babe as the female lead in his movies. And then something terrible will happen to them.

 

Billy Wilder is probably my fav director aside from Wes Anderson. Guy just did not miss much:
Double Indemnity
Sunset Blvd
Stalag 17
Sabrina
Witness for the Prosecution
Some like it Hot
The Apartment (top 5 movie for me all time)

 

Caught M on 35mm recently. Incredible it's almost 100 years old and still the goods.

 

I’ve seen it several times and referenced a ton but man the plane scene in North by Northwest remains absolutely sick as hell.

 

Lawrence of Arabia

 

even did it in rope

and that was about a couple of gay fellas

 

Watching High Noon [1952]

 

Look at this jokester

 

john wick action is not shot anything like Bourne

if anything john wick exists as a counter to Bourne

 

Bourne gave us Moby

 

Wouldn’t have Megan 2.0 without Bourne!
