Watching The Four Feathers (1939). Better than the 2002 version.

:thumbsup:

The cinematography, especially in the Africa scenes is gorgeous. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

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.  :hmm: :lol:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

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.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Ging-noem? What's that about?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

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.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
