"What Movie Did You Watch?" - 2020 Edition

Very sad, but from what I've read the book is even more so. The author, John O'Brien, was pretty much Cage's character in the movie. He was such a talented guy but his addictions were too powerful. He commited suicide not long after learning they were making the book into a movie.

I read that! How tragic. :(

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

This movie rocks! I never get tired of watching it. It's like a clown version of The Blob. Another movie that rocks to this day! The original with Steve McQueen, of course.

I've only seen parts of Killer Klowns but The Blob was awesome. I have to say that the remake was good too, imo.

Yeah, liked both Blob versions.

Killer Klowns from outer space is just a guilty pleasure movie. But it's so much like the original blob only with crazy looking clowns. lol

I went to a Frightmare convention in Dallas years ago and there were three horror fans dressed just like the 3 main clowns. It was crazy. 

If you have a chance to catch the whole movie, you'll like it for sure.

Leaving Las Vegas. Thought I had seen it but I had not!  Sad movie.

Nicolas Cage wanted to do the entire film drunk and wear an earpiece with someone telling him his lines, but the director didn't allow it, although he really is drunk in the scene where he gets thrown out of the casino by security.

This film is probably the best anti-alcohol campaign out there, yet it makes me want to drink every time I watch it, but that probably says more about me...

Wow, how interesting! Yeah that seems like something Cage would want to do. Love learning little tidbits about movies, thanks for sharing.

Another interesting fact is that while preparing for this role he went to Dublin for two weeks to binge drink and he had a friend videotape him, so that later on he could study his speech while being intoxicated.

I’d say that’s pretty common with movies of this type. When I saw The Last Boyscout (Bruce W.), I felt like smoking all the time. :D And when you think about it, the movie, while being full of boozing, is not really about alcohol addiction as such – it’s about a guy’s way of burying the past and deciding to end it all. Could have chosen drugs instead. I haven’t read the book (didn’t know there was one either), but we know there was some family business before his journey to LV, and at one point he yells something like "he was my son" (don’t remember exactly). 
Anyway, his best film imo (haven’t seen them all, though).

Yeah, it's of course about suicide, just a very slow one. He's already an acoholic at the beginning but instead of killing himself immediately he wants to have some fun before he goes, if you can call it that.

Not to get all macabre, but I hope that if I ever reach that point, I have the guts to do this. Just go on an endless bender or travel the world with the money I have left and then end it when all the money is gone. (I know it doesn't work that way...)

A Simple Plan with good ol' Billy Bob.

This is one of my winter movies. 

The only thing I don't like is the ending. They end up being depressed because they lose the money, but they just got a new baby, that should be worth so much more than any money in the world.

Agree with you there. Already a very sad moment when he had to kill his brother and then to end up burning all the money in the very end.

Into The Night (1985)

I love the yuppie nightmare subgenre - After Hours and Blue Velvet are 2 of my all-time favorite films. This one felt a little dry though. David Bowie definitely should have had a bigger part. The scene where he shoves a gun into Goldblum's mouth is the best scene in the film.

I have been re-watching Scary Movie 3 and they mention Pootie Tang often in the movie.  It was so crazy, but funny too.

The Birds is one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. I can watch it over and over again. Same with Psycho. I also liked Frenzy.
