TV/Movies Megathread

Local arthouse cinema (Gartenbau, one of the biggest screens/theaters in Vienna) shows Bertolucci's 1900 next Sunday ... the 317 minute cut, starting at noon.

I'm tempted, but I'm also not sure if it's worth the time investment. 

Is there a shorter version? Anyway, I'd say no. It's the kind of film better watched at home, during several sittings.

EDIT: I see, some yank-only butchery.

Watch it!

[Eddie Teach]

Ging-noem? What's that about?

What's that about?

17th century Korea.

The crown prince is the son of a concubine.

His young step mother the queen is 8 months pregnant. Her father is a powerful minister in the King's court.

The King is "dying".

The minister gets a sketchy doctor to give the dead king a ground up ressurection flower.

The result, a chained up zombie king. They need to make it seem like he's alive until the queen hopefully gives birth to a son.

Things don't go to plan.

Show is half Game of Thrones, half World War Z.

One dead/zombie king = half World War Z? 

More like half Weekend at Bernie's.

Is the Yank-only butchery as bad as the US producer cut of Once upon a time in America?

Is Cloverfield Paradox anygood? IMDB shows little love, but what about Languish?

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

This had its moments, and some great gags; but overall it was probably a little too self referential and "Meta" for its own good.  It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the first (and, of course, nowhere near as good as Lego Batman.)

Caught half of a documentary about Walt Disney, I hadn't realised what a creative genius he was.

Maybe I should watch some of his early films I've missed seeing?

From Prada to Nada (2011).  Two rich, de-racinated Mexican American girls end up penniless when they're father dies.  They go to live with their aunt in el barrio of East LA, where they discover the joys of their rich heritage  while hooking up with hott guys.  Huge chunks of this movie don't make any sense but I imagine it didn't matter to the target audience of upwardly mobile 2nd generation Mexican Americans.

The kid from That 70s Show is one of the hott guys.

This is a pretty bad movie and only one of the sisters is cute.
