[iluv2viddyfilms]

anyone watching this tyson fight thing?

I tried to get on, but I think it blew up Netflix because so many gazillions of people were streaming. It kept saying 25-percent buffering. I really REALLY wanted to care more than I did, but I had a suspicion that it was "scripted" and didn't really care for the format with modified glove weights and the two minute rounds.

Paul won by decision, but watching some of the highlights on youtube, it looks like they were actually going at it hard, as opposed to the Roy Jones vs Tyson fight a couple years ago where they were clearing holding back and pulling punches.

[SpelingError]

Let's see if I can knock this out this morning:

102543

[matt72582]

It was getting late, and somewhere I saw someone post a link of a boxing match.. I remembered Tyson, so I thought I'd see it, but gosh, it was an hour of bullshit, and then 16 minutes of a lame fight.

[Allaby]

Now I'm watching Fear (1946).

Now I'm watching Fear (1946).

Let me know if good.

Busy day today but hope to watch a film or two tonight.

[Allaby]

Let me know if good.

Busy day today but hope to watch a film or two tonight.

For most of Fear, I thought it was a decent noir. The ending is awful though and really lessens the film. It has some good moments and is worth watching, until that horrendous ending. 5/10 is my rating, but with a better ending, it would have been at least a 6/10.

[FilmBuff]

Guess what I'm watching at the theater today!

[Allaby]

I hope to go and see A Real Pain this week. What did you think of A Real Pain?

[MovieGal]

Allaby have you Elevator to the Gallows?

[Allaby]

Allaby have you Elevator to the Gallows?

Yes, very good film. 8/10 from me.

[Allaby]

Today is my Monday and my Friday.

[MovieGal]

Yes, very good film. 8/10 from me.

I'm not a big Noir watcher but I do enjoy Neo Noir.

I liked Elevator to the Gallows as well. It didn't rank high. Just moderate like most films. I am rather harsh on ratings.

[FilmBuff]

I hope to go and see A Real Pain this week. What did you think of A Real Pain?

It's a good movie, the trailer (like I suspected) sort of misrepresents the kind of movie it is

[Allaby]

A Clockwork Orange and The Wicker Man?

[MovieGal]

A Clockwork Orange and The Wicker Man?

One is right.

A Clockwork Orange. The Wicker Man was 4 1/2 stars.

I have about 25 films I rated 4 1/2 stars.

[FilmBuff]

What is your rating of it and do you think it is one of the best films of the year?

3 1/2 out of 5 - I don't consider it one of the year's best but I DO wish more movie like this were being made (mid-budget adult drama or dramedy)

[FilmBuff]

One is right.

A Clockwork Orange. The Wicker Man was 4 1/2 stars.

Abel Gance's Napoleon?

[Allaby]

3 1/2 out of 5 - I don't consider it one of the year's best but I DO wish more movie like this were being made (mid-budget adult drama or dramedy)

What Oscar nominations do you think A Real Pain will get? I predict support actor and original screenplay. In my mind, it is currently just outside best picture, but I am considering adding it to my best picture predictions in place of either Blitz or Gladiator 2.

[MovieGal]

Abel Gance's Napoleon?

No.

I will give you two clues.

It has a favorite actor

And

Everyone has seen it has enjoyed it.

I have nevervheard anyone disliking it.

[FilmBuff]

No.

Amelie?

[matt72582]

For those who saw/liked "Amelie", I recommend checking out "He Loves Me.. He Loves Me Not".. Audrey Tati stars in it. I saw it soon after it came out on Sundance or IFC, but I remember it being good for reasons that would make it a spoiler.

[MovieGal]

Lol the other film I rated 5 stars was The Hunt. I have not heard of anyone disliking the film.

It's a known fact around here I'm a fan of Mads Mikkelsen.

Unrelated to movies, but I plan to finally try egg nog this season.

[Citizen Rules]

Do you binge actors/actresses/directors? I typically like to diversify everything I watch as much as possible.I sorta semi binge watch actors/actress. But doing countdowns and just wanting to watch other stuff ends up meaning I'll only watch 2-3 movies from an actor per week. I've been working on watching Gregory Peck's filmography since before the Musical countdown was announced but then switched to musicals. Oh and I don't do one theme at a time, I'm still working on musicals and noirs now, and have been meaning to get back to the last few 60s beach movies I need to watch.

Unusual decision to have a ghost writer finish her work. I suppose Conan Doyle’s heirs did that, didn’t they, but I always found that baffling. Interesting to read about her life either way.

Yeah, her ghost writer, I think, got changed a few times. You can tell the writing style changed too.

The Dollanganger Series ( first 4 or 5 books) are good, the set with Heaven and the set with Ruby are good and My Sweet Audrina is a stand alone.

I saw Wicked today. Also, I'm eating macaroni and cheese and drinking milk.

Yeah, it was pretty good. The final act elevated it from a 6/10 to a 7/10.

Wicked was my 1,000th film of the year.

[SpelingError]

Nope.

I'd recommend it. It's excellent.

[Allaby]

I'd recommend it. It's excellent.

Where would you rank Anora amongst films you've seen this year? I would rank it as my 6th favourite of the year.

[MovieGal]

I'd recommend it. It's excellent.

I posted about it in the Anora thread.

I'm not big on films that, as I see it, degrade the female species.


It's different when it comes to extreme cinema.

[SpelingError]

Where would you rank Anora amongst films you've seen this year? I would rank it as my 6th favourite of the year.

You've probably seen much more 2024 films than I have, but it might actually be my #1 so far. Either that one or The Substance.

[MovieGal]

Hey SpelingError, what about a Sandal and Sword HOF?

[SpelingError]

I posted about it in the Anora thread.

I'm not big on films that, as I see it, degrade the female species.

I'd say it's far more degrading for Vanya, personally. As it goes on, the clearer it becomes that Anora is the victim in their relationship.

[SpelingError]

Hey SpelingError, what about a Sandal and Sword HOF?

That one could potentially work, but with my current schedule, I'd likely only join one HoF at a time. A few of us posted some ideas earlier today, so I'll have to see what we decide to move ahead with.

Gotcha. I'll have to look up sword and sandal films to see if there's anything I have a strong opinion of.

[MovieGal]

I did one HOF with Citizen Rules help.

It was 80s teen film.

Hosted by Bill and Ted.

I thought I had seen Beyond Thunderdome, but I checked imdb and I never rated it, so now I'm not sure if I have seen it.

The wind started blowing fiercely, as I looked to the horizon. The clouds in the distance were a strange color of red. Not like the clouds at dusk, but a deep dark red, as if the clouds were the color of wet clay. My daughter came running, tears streaming down her cheeks. I could not hear what she was saying due to the howling of the wind. Such a fierce howl, not like the sound of a tornado approaching but a harsh whistling sound. The clouds seemed to have moved closer to where we were. I began to feel drops falling like rain. It was not clear like water should be. It was red like blood. Blood falling from the sky? This was odd, now I understand why the clouds looked the way they did. I held out my hand for the rain to collect in my palm. As I put it up toward my nose, I smelled a strong sulfuric stench. A wretched smell, like the stench of Gehenna, as described in the Bible. Burning flesh and decay. Suddenly I heard my daughter scream "Daddy!?" And as I looked down into her big, blue eyes, which just flowed those tears I saw as she was running toward me, I watched this red rain began to burn and peel away the soft tender flesh of my child's face. As the rain fell, the spots burned more and more. Her screams became excruciating. The burn started exposing tissue. Such a horrible sight for a father to endure. Her screams were louder and louder. Her hair, drenched from this rain, began to fall away from her scalp. It begin to expose the same tissue and bone. She began pulling hard at her hair, her face, as if to remove this thing that was destroying her beauty.

@SpelingError (http://www.movieforums.com/community/member.php?u=91134) @Citizen Rules (http://www.movieforums.com/community/member.php?u=84637)That read really well. I liked the short stiletto roll of the sentences. I think that's effective way to write. Sorta like Hemingway. I love this description, "...as if the clouds were the color of wet clay" Clouds like wet clay, that summons an ominous vision in the reader. Nicely done. Very dark too but you know why I admire that? You were not afraid to hold back and you touched on what must be strong feelings from within yourself. You're good.

I sat in the chair by the fire and looked at the Christmas tree before me. The lights were blinking and all a'glow. The children and my wife were asleep comfortable in their beds. For some reason, I felt very disturbed and could not sleep. The best thing to do was relax and have a drink. Christmas always seemed to be the hardest season for the family. My mind was thinking over the things from this past year and what the upcoming year would hold. My wife was clueless about our financial situation as I was the one who controlled the finances. My gambling debt was becoming to much to hand. I had to think of a way for us to survive for the upcoming year. Next thing I knew, I heard a terrible noise from the fireplace. When I looked up, I seen a man in a red suit over 6 feet tall with white hair and a beard. His cheeks were red but there was a burning evil in his eyes. Quickly my eyes moved from that face to the ax he was holding in his hand. My eyes were wide and filled with horror as I heard him say "Merry F**king Christmas" as the ax blade swung down and entered my skull.

Btw, here's a horror joke I wrote some time ago if anyone's interested:

For a few years, Ted suspected there was a monster living under his bed. One night, he decided to test if it was real once and for all. Before going to bed, he took a chicken leg from his freezer and began tying a string around it. His plan was to toss the chicken leg under his bed, wait a minute, and pull the chicken leg back out. If the chicken leg would come out intact, it would mean there wasn't a monster under his bed, but if the chicken leg would emerge eaten, it would mean there was a monster under his bed.

After Ted finished tying the string around the chicken leg, he tossed it under his bed while clenching the other end of the string in his fist. As the seconds ticked by, Ted couldn't hear any noises coming from under his bed. After the minute ended, Ted slowly pulled the chicken leg back out and saw it was fully intact. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief though, a note was pushed out from under his bed which read "I'm actually a vegetarian".
