During the height of his fame and wealth he would be (in person) selling autographs to little kids for $2 or some other amount: ''come on kid, give us the cash''. Yeah, Eva Marie Saint mentions that she was shocked when some fans visited the Mount Rushmore filming and he'd charge 25 cents for an autograph. What a cheap fuck. I guess when you're Cary Grant you can do whatever you want. I know there's a book of anecdotes about him from people who knew him, and of course the "Evening with Cary Grant" text. That'd make a great read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Room was quite compelling. Will watch Spotlight tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room was awesome, imho, Have a whole "new" standpoint and finally a director wanted to focus the "what happened after" viewpoint Spotlight is somewhat "boring" and i have a feeling that the subject of the film is what made them an Oscar, not the actual movie quality.... I've enjoyed it, though, but definitely not the BEST film this year Edited March 2, 2016 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Phantom Menance and Attack of the Clones. Haven't seen them before. Not as bad as I expected. Interesting Vader origins movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Spotlight was great, but not sure I agree with the Oscar win. I actually would have preferred The Revenant to win over it. Still have a few noms to watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I was slightly bored with Brooklyn. I guess I can see why it was nominated but unfortunately it wasn't really for me. Will try to watch The Big Short this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a quintessential Grandma matinee movie, we should probably be relieved it didn't win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 6 hours ago, Wagszilla said: It's a documentary or episode of Nightline dressed up as a movie. One that I found to be bland and undercooked but your typical Academy voter would like. I think it's generally competently made and well acted on the whole, Keaton and Schreiber are pretty good, but I don't think it's even close to the Best Picture. It's an important movie to be sure, especially if you're unfamiliar with the subject matter, but I would re-watch Alex Gibney's Maxima Mea Culpa again before I ever rewatched Spotlight. I understand why the Academy gave it Best Picture, though. I disagree wholeheartedly. In it's own way I found it as gripping as Fury Road and Sicario (which were my favourites of the year) albeit in an obviously different manner.

If Inside Out weren't so good, I would say that this is the best CG movie released in the last 5 years. It's simultaneously a "movie" and a "film" and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. Going to see it tonight. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Brooklyn depicts a typical romantic American mentality which deals with the diaspora c. late 19th - mid 20th century, and faux 'Oirishness. It even has an Ellis island scene!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Creed Finally watched it last night. Excellent film! I'd probably rank it third in the Rocky series - behind the original and Balboa. The great thing about it is that Adonis Creed is truly the main character. It's his story and not just a continuation of the Rocky saga. It's both. That's where the film's biggest strength is - it's both a satisfying continuation of the Rocky films while also being a satisfying new beginning. It had the Rodkg feel without being a total rehash. That seems to be a rare thing with spinoff films these days. For now, I rank it with the other Rocky films. After the sequel I'll probably see it more as its own separate thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Watched about an hour of The Big Short. Not sure if I'll even finish it. I've laughed at a few funny quips so far but most of it goes so fast the jargon and whatnot is going right over my head, even when they "explain" it. So far it's more of a Big Mess.

I would say that compared to the Marvel-Disney films it was about as good as Ant-Man and Winter Solider. I prefer X2 and DoFP from the Fox films (8/10s for me).

I was pretty surprised that Ant man was actually good and entertaining. For Dead Pool they really went out of the way to promote it, but while watching it, it was funny, but not out of the world.
