Re: Oppenheimer (next Nolan film)

It's a fascinating project. I've read several long books about the Manhattan Project and I can't imagine anybody other than Nolan making a movie out of it. It's a fascinating story of an event that...

Special Features On DVD And Blu Ray Discs

Re: Special Features On DVD And Blu Ray Discs

So-called "special features" got old for me a while ago. Out takes are generally taken out for a reason, cast interviews mainly amount to "why is this movie great" and "why are you great", alternate...

Re: Are Scream Queens Still Being Made Today?

Fay Wray is the archetype. Being in that amazing spectacle, King Kong, only a couple years after sound arrived, Fay set the benchmark that's only rarely been bettered. I wonder if she ever got her...

They were a cheap box set in Big Lots, about 10 movies for $8. It seemed hard to lose for that price. I did like Fury and it seemed like my DVD shelf was slim on war movies. That same shelf has a...

Re: Movies that people would be surprised you own

A box set of WW II "classics". It includes movies like Anzio, Fury and The Guns of Navarone. Generally nobody expects ME to be watching old war movies, but now and again, I do.

Re: Your 1st movie in cinema

It was old by the time I saw it, but I recall being a small kid and being taken to see the 1950 Treasure Island in a Saturday Matinee. I wanted to be a pirate after that if I could have a great...

Re: What character scared you as a child?

Another one that I was probably too young to see, The Forbidden Planet, the Id Monster. You see foot prints in the sand, hear strange sounds, then it starts roaring. You don't see anything until...

Re: Films that would be improved by removing the score

I really can't think of one. Being a musically oriented person, movie music is the emotional barometer of the plot line for me. If you want something like movies with no music, it's trying to be...

Oh no. With no music, it's just a grim reaper festival from the nazi era. With Tangerine Dream, it's like a grim nazi era movie sonically illustrated by Miami Vice. The music is half of what makes...

What is the most boring movie ever made?

Re: What is the most boring movie ever made?

Boring is such a subjective evaluation. I've seen hyperkinetic action movies that bored me to the point where I slept through the explosions and car crashes. Bruce Willis comes to mind here.

Do you still own your very first DVD?

Re: Do you still own your very first DVD?

Probably Dark City, which was released just about when DVD's became available for a rational price. I still have it. It's a delightfully strange movie.

I'd only disagree with that to the extent that, I''d elevate it a step. A filling is relatively minor but Otto goes all the way to a root canal.

Re: What Is The Most Disturbing Film?

The most disturbing film ever made, for me, was John Waters' Pink Flamingos, since it was shot in neighborhoods I grew up in and nobody told me what SOME people were eating there. Multiple Maniacs...

My Dinner With Andre - 1981

I saw it years later, festival stuff, two guys sit and talk for the duration about nothing especially interesting. Then the movie is over.
