In the book Gillom kills Books in the finale, a more ''1970s'' style ending you might say? Wayne re-wrote the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Zombieland 2 Double Tap As much fun as the original one. Can't believe it was like ten years since I saw the first one. Love the story, love the cast. There were some scenes I laughed so hard out lough. Loved the blonde calling Tallahassee "Salty Taffy" OMG!

Amir Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Saw Uncut Gems on Netflix a week or so ago. Loved it so much that I bought a ticket to a 35mm screening at the Prince Charles Cinema on Saturday night. My favourite film since Phantom Thread.

Last Train from Gun Hill is a superior western with Anthony Quinn, which has a certain edginess (rape, mixed-race marriage). My personal favourite Kirk Douglas film. Used to love this as a youngun.

DieselDaisy Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Parasite (2019) It is certainly another masterwork from Bong Joon-ho but it is really no greater than Memories of a Murder (2003) and Mother (2009) - it is weird how Hollywood have suddenly adopted him (about ten years too late!) as if Parasite is his first masterpiece. They could have given either of those earlier films Oscars. El Dorado (1966) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I noticed there are some great one-liners (something about ''stringing a chicken''?). Mitchum, Waybe and Caan chucked in also. That is a lot of Brut.

Bravo is undoubtedly the better movie, El Dorado is pretty much made, for me, by Mitchum. He gives the film that extra push from just being an ordinary run of the mill Wayne movie to one of the special ones, that pairing of John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. And its not even one of his better performances, I mean its comic to a great degree, it doesn't require a lot of effort by him but he's just got that fuckin' star charisma that when he's on screen, he makes it happen, makes the air move around him as someone once said.

Mitchum goes even further than Deano in ''dirtying up the drunk'', that manky shirt he wears and (he clearly has been enjoying his Christmases as has Wayne) accentuating his gut.

Have you seen Out of the Past yet with Mitchum and Kirk Douglas? You REALLY need to see that. Film Noir at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him a long while to even become a leading man, even though his stature and standing justified it, perhaps that was why, or perhaps that was just his way. The guy was Oscar nominated for The Story of GI Joe and despite that, for a fair while afterwards, he was always kinda sharing billing in a way.

George Hamilton was relaying a story on GMB's Oscars special Monday, Piers and Susanne, in which he worked with Robert Mitchum as a young actor. They got as drunk as lords the night/morning before and turned up on set horizontal, people having to lift them up, etc. Then Mitchum delivered the lines note perfect - a scene that Tarantino could have been parodying with DiCaprio in that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that you like. You will know what that film was, Mitchum and George Hamilton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he would just scan/glance at the days lines and have em down. And also a prodigious constitution for alcohol. How true any of this shit is you never really know I suppose. His past life is fascinating too, spent time as a hobo as a teenager, as well as on a chain gang.

appetite4illusions Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Ford v Ferrari was my favorite film of last year. It got very dwarfed at the Oscars, but it may be indelibly the best film I've ever seen about professional racing - and I hate professional racing.
