TV/Movies Megathread

Fast Five. The least said the better. Weren't those supposed to be racing flicks?

It is, however, way better if you imagine all of Diesel's dialogue as "I AM GROOT".

For the most part I liked Fast 5 well enough.  It was the weighless bank vault that really bothered me.  Oddly, the endless runway in Furious 6 didn't.

Oh, yeah, along with like 500 other people in Columbia, I went to go see Gone With the Wind (1939) in the theater.  Turns out I'd never seen the whole thing before.  Kind of an immoral film, but very well-shot and photographed, with gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous production design by one of the greatest PDs of all time, if not the greatest, William Cameron Menzies.  So, this is an early character study of a functional sociopath, right?

I also learned that you can embarrass someone by comparing Confederates to Nazis.  The South is weird.

Edit:  I dunno what I'd grade it.  B+ or an A.  A-A+, up till the part where Scarlett and Rhett's marital difficulties erupt, where it sort of exhausts itself.

Shame about the South's self-loathing;  up here in the Norff, the local art theaters were showing both Fail-Safe and Dr. Strangelove revivals this weekend.

I recently rewatched Fail Safe on TCM.

And I TiVo'd that broadcast AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

Man, it's like there's a connection between us, only you got all the success.

Off hand, probably a B47.


Oh,maybe there was a B58 Hustler involved too, I think I've only seen both the original and remake one each.

My memory is of a single engine plane.

Wait, are you talking about the one that goes off the rez or the other one?

[Ed Anger]

I thought the bomber was a B-58 Hustler too.

They could have used Delta Dart footage too.

Can remember the plot much, the one that goes on to bomb  Moscow.

Probably m.imdb.com has a the answers.

They were actually Convair Hustlers.  The interceptors that burned out over the pole were Delta Darts.

Don't you have an earthquake to cause?
