TV/Movies Megathread

[Tonitrus]

Maybe the harsh changes to "Empire" is that Lucas wasn't the director the second time around.  Assuming the director slot for Empire and RotJ had sufficient influence on the final cut.

[The Brain]

Saw the first 30 minutes of Jarhead. The movie was garbage so I switched channels.

[CountDeMoney]

Well, well, well...an intriguing reboot.

It is the anti-Stallone.

I'd watch that.  Shit, I still watch the original from time to time.  Armand Assante chews that scenery up.

Yeah, it was on Friday morning, Assante is awesome in it.

Thing I like about this reboot is its grittiness, hell the only thing recognizable is the Judge helmet and logo.  Definitely not the cartoonishness of the Stallone model.

But Armand Assante.  Max von Sydow.  Diane Lane!  WTF BBQ OMG!

[Ed Anger]

Diane Lane.

Looks interesting but seems to lack the satirical edge of the comics.

[CountDeMoney]

It also lacks Rob Schneider.  Mercifully.

Rob Schneider is movie poison. I can't think of a single movie he has been in that I've even remotely enjoyed. The worst of the bunch has to be 'The Hot Chick'. I think it was his way of spending time with younger, attractive women.

[Eddie Teach]

Guess you don't like Adam Sandler then, seems Schneider's been in at least half of them.

The sole exception is the movie where Rockie beats up Wesley Snipes in the future.  That's one better than David Spade's record.

So Yi must love Jack and Jill and Grown ups.

An ensemble role in a decent sitcom that lasted several years > a supporting role in a decent sci/fi action flick

[Eddie Teach]

The Artist. Beautiful, beautiful film. The Academy got one right.

[CountDeMoney]

Aliens is on.  Still an awesome action flick after all these years.

I remember seeing it in the theater the very night it first came out, it was packed;  the audience collectively applauded when Burke bought it.

I can't remember the last time I heard an audience applaud in a movie, I think that might've been it. 
For you young people and your disassociated, texting, overdiagnosed Assburger's culture, that's what people used to do in movie theaters instead of talking on the phone.

Apollo 13 is in heavy rotation right now.  First time I saw it I thought it was too small a story for a feature movie, but in reviewing it has grown on me.
