Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Justin,

There a great passage in Chaplin's autobiography where as a child he notes the antics that ensue when a rabbit escapes from the local slaughterhouse, and various adults try and catch him. But then, when he is recaught, Charlie realized that he will now be sent to meet his fate. An origin story for both the comedy and pathos one finds in his films.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Just saw the new Blade Runner 2049, and give it an A-. I especially enjoyed how it followed the style of visuals and music of the original. I told some of the young movie staff when I went in that I was so old I'd seen the original in the movies!

(Edit) I got a free small movie poster that is very orange, showing Harrison Ford with his pistol pausing before a wrecked building!

I liked it a lot too Chas.

I also saw the original in the theaters when it came out, though I'm a little younger than you

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
This Friday is the opening of Professor Marsden and the Wonder Women, a film about the original psychologist creator of Wonder Woman and his two real life women. I'll probably see it next week. Its gotten some good early reviews.

I haven't seen a link to Jill Lapore's great book The Secret History of Wonder Woman (2014) as an inspiration, which I have and like very much, and mentioned when it came out in our Comic Book section. The book is more about the surprising direct links between early feminism and the character's creation, but does chronicle the rise and fall of the original concept of WW. Her Golden Age stories were filled with all kinds of unusual things before their creator died after WWII, and they neutered the main ideas, by not letting his wife take the character over and continue his (their) work.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Just watched The Siege of Jadotville. Great movie about an Irish company (150 troops) sent to the Congo in 1961 as peace keepers for the UN and were besieged by 3,000 French and Belgian legionnaires and Congolese troops working for mining companies. Some big picture issues with regards to cold war and the mining materials in the Congo being useful for both the allies and Soviets nuclear weapons systems.

I watched that on Netflix a year or so ago. Not a bad film at all and interesting since it was a true story.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Last night I watched Ex Machina (movie, not anime) and today watched matinee of Blade Runner 2049. Ex machina was pretty good and new Blade Runner was excellent. Both were slower paced, especially BR49 (Abbr). Both made you think could you really love an artificial life form, and/or could they love you, or just infatuation. Actually makes you question what love/purpose is for a human as what separates our ability to do it from an advanced AI. Both def have some R rated themes and images, especially naked AIs that are really naked actresses. But if you can get over see.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Tonight I watched Pretty In Pink with my wife and one of my daughters. My wife had recorded it when we had a free HBO weekend awhile ago and she decided to watch it tonight. One of my daughters wanted to see it and the other wanted to work on her artwork. I hadn't seen it since it came out 30 years ago, and since it was right in my wheelhouse of age ( I was 19 when it came out), I figured I'd watch it too. Good ol' movie.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
KidScaper and I went out tonight & saw The Foreigner. I thought it was a very interesting movie. I deliberately went in without reading any reviews or looking at any publicity, and I'm glad I did.

Excellent movie, in my opinion. A bit of a throwback, for people who like the movies written in the '70s and early '80s, like Unforgiven (made years later) and Rambo. Not a classic hero's & villain's tale, but lots of action and a tightly told story.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
I thought the ads for that movie made it look like a Taken knock off. Was that the case?

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
No, not at all. The movie has a couple plot and structural features that defy expectations. It’s not a classic Jackie Chan film, nor is it a classic revenge or action movie. (Edit: Some reviewers have treated it as a revenge story, which makes me think of films like Charles Bronson's Death Wish. I don't think that's quite right. It's not just his story from his perspective, as I saw it.)

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
At the movies with one of my daughters, seeing Happy Death Day at her request.

Edit: It was actually pretty good, better than I had expected. Funny mystery horror flick.
