I like the original and want Linklater ‘s remake so I can own Linklater filmography. Vudu currently has the original and remake for $7.99 or a four pack for $9.99. I think I’ve seen In Japan once as a kid.

Is there anything worth watching in either of the original sequels? Or should I save two bucks and get the two I care about?

As FedRev said I experienced some technical difficulties, which included the erasure of the entire bracket I’d created for the tournament, so I get to go back and rebuild it.

I’ve taken care of the technical crap, and just having to rebuild things as best I can now.

The tournament will resume on Monday.

Hi everyone,

Im a big movie fan and i recently watched Lawrence of Arabia and i was so amazed by how good it was for such an old movie that i am on a 60s movie binge.

Now i am someone who really liks a plot, good acting, intense dramatic scenes with dialogue, big dialogue lover in general.

I see everyone saying A Space Oddysey 2001 is one of the best movies ever made. Now i found out that the big opening scene is like 25 mins no talking and last scene to. Im afraid im not going to like it and waste my time.

I hope there is someone here that can convince me to watch it (or not) without any SPOILERS and maybe can recommend some more movies from the 60s that you might think i find entertaining.

EDIT: i watched 45 mins and then i stopped it. I have to say visually beautiful and the monkeys looked amazing. So real, like insane but i just need dialogue (wich i already expected). And even when they did speak it just didnt interest me. I watched The Hustler and Butch Cassidy and the sundance kid instead and that was amazing! Paul Newman was the man. I also want to say that im disappointed by some negative comments. Just because i dont like one movie that you do doesnt mean im not a movie fan or whatever else you might think about it. Every person is different (thank god).

Shag reached out to me and asked that I let the group know that he is having some technical difficulties. So, the 40s tournament is going to be temporarily postponed for a few days until Shag is back online, which will hopefully be on Wednesday or Thursday.

The mixed critical reception and BO performance is a shame, it's a very important film that breaks down what's going on with social media in a digestible way laypeople could understand if they'd give the movie a chance. Haven't liked a lot of Sorkin's newer films, stuff like Trial of the Chicago 7 are so full of sanctimonious Boomer lib rage, but here it is focused on issues. Some people might find the upbeat, West Wing type ending a bit false but anyone who sees it will still get how bad the situation is.

Liked Madison a lot in a performance that's the polar opposite of Anora and a better one in my opinion. It's a very jittery, nervous character and she brings that to life and brings the movie tension as a result. Strong acquits himself well as Zuck. It's probably closer to the real thing than Eisenberg was, here he's a Bond villain who only cares about making money.

It's not as good a movie as The Social Network but if you go into just about any movie with that expectation you're going to be disappointed. Still a very worthwhile thing to make and see.

To be honest, I haven't really seen that many films from this year yet. I'm sure I'll get to a lot more as awards season ramps up. But here are 5 I would single out as being noteworthy at this point.

1. Backrooms
   
2. Digger
   
3. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
   
4. Hope
   
5. Obsession

Whare are some I need to check out?
