TV/Movies Megathread

So apparently Shia Lebeouf binge watched all his movies at a cinema and live streamed himself doing it. I can't think of another stunt more suitable for him. Well played.

Cool.    Must have taken a very long time as he has a lot of movies.  I don't know what's been up with him lately with his antics but I usually like his movies and roles he plays.

He watched Transformers 2 & 3?  I pity him

I liked all the Transformers movies. Not that they were so great, but entertaining fun flics.

[Admiral Yi]

He had to watch Wall Street II: Money Never Sleeps.

#1 was ok, #2 I did not like, and #3 was about average, lower than #1 imho, and a repeat of a theme already explored in the anime

Once Upon A Time In The West on the telly. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

Damn, now I'm gonna have to watch that sometime soon. 


edit:
watch 'Stanley and Iris' an OK romance with de Niro and Jane Fonda, who looked mighty fine for a woman of my age.

[Ed Anger]

She only likes VC Mongers.

Quietly sits on a SU-23-4.

Watched the first couple eps of Show Me a Hero. Oscar Isaac must have a hell of an agent, he's in so many great/cool things lately.

Also cool to see Winona Ryder in something good again.

The Ring (1927)

This is the only screenplay by Hitchcock (though he would work with writers on other ones.)  It's a melodrama about a woman who is married to a boxer on the rise, but loves the champ.  The boxing scene at the end is quite well done; the rest of the film is just okay.  A lot of critics (or internet critics, at least) say they can see the Hitchcock that is to be in his silent films.  Of the ones that I've seen I really can't (except for "The Lodger" and the transition film "Blackmail.")  The only thing that I found distinctly Hitchcockian in this film was that I didn't believe any part of the love triangle.

Easy Virtue has a lot of proto-Hitchcock in it, too, I thought.

I haven't seen it.  It looks like it's available on Youtube; I might try to catch it in the next few days.

It's pretty much a wrongfully accused kind of plot, and he uses a lot of devices that he'll refine when furthering the theme later on.
