TV/Movies Megathread

I was browsing Amazon Prime Movies for something to watch.

In the 'Best Rated' section: 'W.E.'

In the 'Hidden Gems' section: 'The Seventh Seal'.

So, any of you movie snobs watched Furious 7 yet?

Is it one step closer to that holy grail of movies - a movie that is nothing but stuff blowing up? 

Nah, it also has flying cars, barely dressed girls, some good fights, some jokes, and a decent farewell to Paul Walker.

They hid it by covering the packaging with Swedish.

So, any of you movie snobs watched Furious 7 yet?

I'm going at some point in the near future, I'm sure.  I like both the previous ones, which I'd recommend to anyone who likes 1960s-style caper films and can forget everything they know about physics for a couple of hours, much as one might for a particularly silly cartoon.  Never seen 1-4.

Beetlejuice. 27 years on it holds up.

Absolutely. Great movie.

Better Call Saul finale...

[spoiler]I'll watch it again, and maybe it just took a very roundabout way of getting there, but I'm not sure I bought his "fall to the darkside" at the end.  It seemed to kinda slouch its way there instead of a properly dramatic collapse.[/spoiler]

Saw the guy with the eyebrows from American Beauty in an Infiniti or somesuch commercial last night.  Hadn't seen him since The Four Feathers.  There's a career that didn't quite pan out.

#5 was quite impressive, with that oil tanker and the safe drag race through the streets of Rio
But there wasn't much explosions, just destruction.  ID4 was closer to your Holy grail, I think, especially if you scale the stuff blowing up by damage done instead of pure number of explosions.

Wasn't sure who you were talking about, so I hit up the google machine.

Wes Bentley.  Apparently a huge addict for the entire oughts.  Sober since 2010 or so, and has lots of imdb entries in the last 5 years (before that, not so much).

There was only one guy in American Beauty with eyebrows.

Chris Cooper may not have eyebrows, but Kevin Spacey does. And of course, Peter Gallagher's eyebrows are massive.

American Beauty came out in 1999.  I saw it in a second run movie theatre around that time, and haven't seen it since.

Fair enough.

Some men remember women's tits; others, men's eyebrows.

The world deserved more films with Mena Suvari showing skin in them.
