The Maltese Falcon, a good flick - never really seen much of Bogart's work, but I definitely see what the fuss is about.

Have you tried Casablanca yet?  Depending on the perspective, that's either a film about a tragic love triangle, the underdog in war, or a tale of heart-warming friendship...

Or all three.....

Not yet, but it's on the list - purple hair is studying Film and Media, so she has to see all the classic movies, which gives me a perfect opportunity to do so as well. And it's all in the name of supporting your girlfriends education, awesome :)

Before I saw Casablanca I had seen maybe 3 other black and white movies, all of which were terrible and it made me avoid them. Casablanca was so good it made me start actively seeking out some.

Also, I thoroughly advise you to dig up some of the Cary Grant films - both the screwball romance comedies, and the wander into thriller territories.

 

The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Charade, North by Northwest, Gunga Din,  Arsenic and Old Lace, and To Catch A Thief stand out.

 

Edit: Actually, on consideration, I could almost see Rosbjerg pulling off the Cary Grant attitude, style and charm himself...

Was Citizen Kane one of them?  :biggrin:

saw It Follows and was disappointed. it starts off nice, but loses its pace rather early into the movie. the last third is mind numbingly boring

 

I liked it a lot.  It has a real slow-burn to it, but I thought for a low budget horror it was quite effective.  I thought the idea of the walking menace wouldn't really play and yet...it did for me.  It added a sense of dread just seeing someone walking in the background.

 

It and Ex Machina were great, I thought, and I was glad to see both get recognition and wider releases.

 

For my part, I watched Evil Roy Slade:

that part I actually liked. I didn't like how uneven it was near the end of the movie, where it just starts going in circles and ends nowhere

Saw Touching the Void (2003) - or, "why I'll never personally be interested in extreme mt. climbing."

 

Then saw part of Jaws 2 - or, "why I'll never personally be interested in water skiing over open ocean."

Finally managed to watch The Imitation Game. Benedict Cumbercatch managed to make a surprisingly interesting portrayal of a brilliant character with (probably) Asperger's syndrome.

 

Also saw Mockingjay, which felt a little tedious despite all the action.

Yeah, I don't like swimming anywhere I cant see the bottom. There be tentacle monsters down there. :unsure:

No, I want to see it eventually though. Mark of Zorro was probably the one I enjoyed most besides Casablanca though

The Cthulhu variety or the Japanese one? 

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Jem was one of those cartoons I only watched if there were no other good options (yay for no cable) but besides the names and maybe the makeup this seems way different from what I remember

They don't have the Misfits or the sci-fi elements, which is 2/3rds of Jem. What's the point?

Reminds me of years ago vacationing in Crete. We had decided to swim towards an island visible from the tourist trap beach resort we were in because well, it was a challenge. The bottom was partially visible most of the way , seaweed and vegetation on the bottom and lots of.. shadows. At the mid point when the way back and the way forward was about the same distance someone decides to bring upo whether there were sharks in the miditerranean, being from the frozen north not something that was common knowledge. 

 

Entirely ruined the rest of that swim.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

That is all.

What's this that i've been hearing about Mad Max being a sidekick in his own movie? True/false?

I don't know about that, but if he is it seems to have worked out for the better judging by the 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Mad Max was always the most boring thing about Mad Max.

I haven't seen the movies since i was a kid, so i do not remember much except awesome explosions. I just felt that it sounded quite odd to put a main character in the background.

Yeah...a little dissapointed.  I've already seen the Josie and the Pussycats film.

I don't know, not seeing the movie, but there was originally a plan to do an animated movie called Furiosa that would have been about Charlize Theron's character, primarily.  Some people have assumed this is a live action version of that script, but I've been told it isn't, that that story would have been a prequel to this one.

 

But until I see it, can't say how the film actually shapes up.
