Overall I liked it.
Wasn't laughing the whole time non-stop but quite a bit tbh, there are some parts of it that aren't funny but still good scenes. Maybe 2-3 bits I didn't like but everything else made up for those.

I wasn't expecting much so that might've made it more enjoyable.

We have been watching a episode or 2 every night since.
The Series really does hold up well today

I watched Stanley Kubrick's The killing last night. I went to a cinema which showed it on 16m film. The only place in the uk that shows film on 16mm. It was quite an experience. There was no projection booth. The projector was sitting right there at the back and you could hear it whirring away throughout the whole film. Half way through one of the film splices gave way and the film broke. The protectionist took less than 4 minutes to repair it and continue the film. It was quite a magical evening. I only found out about this film club recently. Next month they're showing jaws in scope!

Not sure The Killing will be my favourite film ever. It certainly was entertaining in parts. The shotgun in the flower box reminded me of T2 and in the end the whole film felt a bit like reservoir dogs. A heist gone wrong!

Unfortunately tickets for jaws are sold out. :cry:

seen "FIRE BIRDS" (1990) again for the first time in like 20 years or so now.

sort of like TOP GUN and the F-14 "TOMCAT" it's a rather silly movie, yet full of fun-to-watch AH-64 "APACHE" p0rn...

I saw that about 15 years ago for the first time on LD when I picked up a lot of discs.
It was fun but not memorable by my taste.

From what I remember if this was his first film it was very static and that was due to coming from his photography background.
Nice but not great for me as I come from no background other than what I like and don't, this was not liked much but was able to watch.

Nice to hear about the 16mm, glad they are doing this type of thing and that its enjoyable.

I’m up to EP3 of Picard. It still doesn’t suck, pretty good actually, but I sure hate the sound design a whole lot.

I almost never watch network tv anymore but this has been enjoyable. Surprising, tbh.

The plot of the show is that you’d never get a guy like that out of retirement except for good reason. I think the same is true of the actor who plays him. We’ll see though, it could still go bad, or it could stay maximum bleak/stressful which would eventually wear on me to the point where I quit watching. My fingers are crossed.

Just viewed Hamburger Hill on LaserDisc.

And G.A.T.T.I.C.A. (again ! ) (EPIC FILM)

Hamburger hill is over the top one of the top 5 most realistic Vietnam era warfilms.
The fratricide scene choked me up big time.
An estimated 12,000 people or more died from blue on blue FRIENDLY fire.
Things have improved however fog of war is still a dreaded fact of modern warfare.

Hamburger hill was the last BIG engagement of Vietnam before the withdrawal.
Check out that film if you like war movies.

Cheers to the membership l.......

Hamburger Hill, the best movie ever made if you asked my 12 year old self. Bad a** combat scenes, and all f***ing true. yeah the blue on blue scene is heartbreaking.

It was the dialogue too tho, such great dialogue..

"Great meal, Ma. Would you please pass the f***ing potatoes. The ham is f***ing A, Ma. You don't know how -- how f***ing great it is to be home. "

"You listen to me. We're gonna take this f***ing hill, Newsman. And if I catch you on top taking pictures of any of my people, I will blow your f***ing head off. You haven't earned a right to be here. You got that?"

SO f***ing cool
It don't mean nothin man...

Few years late, but I started watching the Fargo tv show.

Season one was great, dunno why it look me so long to get around to, I loved the movie.

Starting season 2 tomorrow probably.

Just watched Special Bulletin (1983). Was pretty intense, surprised how well it sucked me in.

ended up sitting through "THE BOONDOCK SAINTS" (1999) last night.

not my kind of film, but Willem Dafoe was superb in it, and the movie really is quite honest about a lot in life.
also, Norman Reedus was fairly fun to watch, in his distinctively awkward sort of way.

all in all, though i honestly despise the genre, (especially since my dad made me sit through so damned many of them back in the 1990's)
it truly was one of the very best "Cop Films" i've ever had to suffer through...

Yeah not in my wheelhouse either but my favorite clothing brand based an entire season on the movie and that's the only reason I watched it at some point.

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah: Deluxe Edition (1995) [TLL 2476]

A nice ending to the Heisei series. Really Heisei is the ultimate to me. The peak of the practical effects and after you get too much CGI, previous you get too much crudeness.

My biggest hope for the movie came true, a Super X III, bad a** and effective. Human power! Nice special forces scenes reminscent of Biolante. The spider crab versions of Destroyah were pretty dodgy in parts though, could have been done better. I shed a tear at the end. You really do start to love the big lizard after 6 movies...

Kyoko Fukada VHS. Idol videos for me have always given a warm comfortable feeling. Although I wouldn't kick Kyoko out of bed, the videos are not sexual, just nice. Like a real girlfriend there in the room with you, the softness of VHS adds to the calm and comfortable effect.

Tonight Rie Tomosaka VHS. Tomoko no Ba Ai, a surprisingly above average TV movie with Tomosaka. Then again I'm not surprised Tomosaka could make anything great 8-) Also rewatched her A Rebours concert video, only ever released on VHS and possibly on VCD in the day). I was always a fan, having her album on MD and a VCD of hers too in the '90s..she's so f***en cool

Boondock saints is ridiculous. Willem dafoes acting is so wacky. I swear theres a scene where willem Defoe is drunk or high and hes dancing his way through a crime scene shooting his gun off in the air. He plays a copper!

Maybe my memory of the film is shot but that one scene stands out in my head. Also the Irish accents were terrible.

not sure, but i tend to think it just might have been deliberately meant to be goofy,
perhaps a fairly on-the-nose wry-humored parody of 1990's cop films, even.

then again, perhaps i merely had a weird way of interpreting it all...
