Atlas Shrugged Part II: 6/10. Obviously we find out to our horror that the complete cast from the movie just released one year ago has been replaced, and not even by similar-looking or similar-talking actors. So you have a new motley crew and they're all inferior. Obviously the plot and political message is good but the acting is mostly not good apart from Hank Rearden's wife in the second installment. The movie seemed completely detached from the first despite it being a continuation of the plot; hence, this was a trilogy that didn't need to be a trilogy. There didn't need to be a second sex scene between Hank and Dagney, for example. Even the ledger narration was in different font and style from the first movie from the previous year which was stupid. Little things like that. Did like a few things shown like the protestors having signs ranging from "will comply with 10-289 for food" and "who is John Galt" graffiti, but overall this movie, as the longest in the three installments, was a disappointment especially as a continuation to the first.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Atlas Shrugged Part II: 5/10. Umm... Now suddenly you get a THIRD complete and entire cast (!!!) in three movies, which is stupid. Dagney all of a sudden looks 22 years old and Francisco goes from being one of her exes from her youth and still-friends to having a Mexican accent and looking old enough to be her grandpa. I like the casting of John Galt, but he looks nothing like he did in either of the first two episodes and they completely butchered the opening scene of Galt pulling Dagney from the plane crash. They completely butchered the romance element of the story and essentially left Rearden out of the final installment. The moment of Galt shutting down president Thompson's speech with technology and talking to the public was pretty epic, but a little far fetched that a government that strong couldn't or wouldn't stop that in its tracks, and the whole scene at the end was unlikely. Ultimately this was the worst and worst-acted installment in the trilogy that didn't need to be a trilogy, and it's a shame.

[Millennial_Messiah]

The original Atlas Shrugged book by Ayn Rand is a solid 10/10.... and I'm as tough of a grader as it gets. Must-read.

The movie(s) deserves a re-make.... and preferably into one, longer, epic movie, with an A-list cast and solid supporting characters.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Probably the marathoning of the movies last night until 6:40AM, and not waking up until after noon today wasn't worth it, but it's been on my bucket list for years and my mom's too and we wanted to get that done and out of the way.

Oppenheimer 6/10

It was brutal to sit through 3 hours of what should have easily been max 100 minutes. Great acting all around but the film itself was boring. The constant ominous music tricks you into thinking something important is happening but really nothing. No real intrigue like I was expecting and not as much bomb testing either. Seemed like it just a bunch of meetings with a naked Florence Pugh mixed in to help keep you awake.

Not a bad movie, not a great movie, will forget about it in a week and never watch again.

[ChumpDumper]

re: Barbie... Eh. Who cares.:lol don't look at box office mojo.

[leemajors]

You'd be better off reading Demian by Hesse than that libertarian Rand garbage. As John Rogers said:


“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[J.T.]

Not a bad movie, not a great movie, will forget about it in a week and never watch again.

This is my main problem with Chistopher Nolan movies. They're always a decent enough story, usually with a great cast and filmmaking but I can't think of a single movie of his I've watched more than once besides his Batman movies. Pretty much what you said, forget about them in a week and never watch them again.

[Millennial_Messiah]

You'd be better off reading Demian by Hesse than that libertarian Rand garbage. As John Rogers said:

Read both of those multiple times well before I was 14

And whoever John Rogers is.... that seems like a hot left-wing take

the left wants to cancel LOTR too because Tolkien was a conservative, even though he was also a naturist/environmentalist to an extent.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Anyone who calls Ayn Rand and Libertarianism garbage is a dirty Communist. A termite.

Though, I wish the Libertarian Party specifically, would refrain from being on the ballot in major elections in acknowledgement that their presence on the ticket helps the worse of the two evils in a two-party nation get elected.

Good to be back, MM. Like Bruno Sammartino used to do; I too have been touring orient.

I don't hold out much hope '24, MM. And I fear the aftermath of that election. He won't stay. He'll resign within 90 days of being sworn for the last time/health and be feted like a national hero. Harris will go in there, get his second 4 years, 8 of her own, I and wouldn't be a bit surprised if (they) didn't finagle/jam Hillary in as the VP. They'll maintain both Houses, go after Judge Thomas like the last pork chop on the plate, Judge Roberts will immediately make an extremely hard Left with nary pretense this time, and the jig will be up. Too many RINOs for us, MM. They burrowed underground like the vermin they are when Trump was in there, but once he is dispatched it is Katie bar the door.

Bad times is comin', my friend, been comin' since Trump saw his chance, took it and made President...like Sutherland' "Ace" attests at the last...-Stand by Me-..."If you think we're gonna forget this, you're wrong. This is big time, baby."

Did an Adam McKay rewatch recently

The Big Short - 7/10

Was a 10/10 the first time I saw it, but now that we know Adam McKay is a one-trick pony, the fun little segues to Margot Robbie in a bathtub, or the 4th wall “this isn’t actually how it happened, tee hee” scenes are just kind of obnoxious. Gosling is fantastic and should have won an Oscar for this.

Vice - 5.5/10

I remember McKay getting criticized for being too nice to Cheney in this movie, which is insane because this is as hardcore a skewering as it gets. Would be a 3/10 if anybody but Bale was playing the lead role.

Don’t Look Up - 7.5/10

Feels like McKay’s insufferable style is a little less apparent here, and the Chalamet character gives it some gravity. Jonah Hill is funny enough to save the film, and Mark Rylance/Meryl Streep/Cate Blanchett are doing maybe the worst work of their entire careers.

Winning Time - 0/10

Don’t know how anybody liked this garbage. It’s McKay completely unhinged, and I turned it off about 15 minutes into episode 1.

Final thought is that I’m really glad that Adam McKay was mostly a hands-off EP on Succession.

Oppenheimer - 9/10

Really great performances and despite being 3 hours, it didn’t feel like it. Definitely not a Nolan film I would go rewatch though. At least not right away. Felt like I got the entire experience in one sitting. Then again, I’m not on Nolan’s nuts like most moviegoers are.

I still get a kick outta Truman..."What!?!...fine, again." But it was against yellow folk, notice he didn't touch the White Nazi's/Germany. It took Russia to do the wet work there and they was more than up to it. How did we repay Russia? Plotted against them to break off from defeated Germany & Japan and go after them..."as long as we're here let's clean 'em out so we don't have to fuss and fight with them for the next 80 years, right?"

Barbie

Definitely a girl-power flick. I've read a few articles already by people flying off the handle claiming it disrespects men, etc. Overreaction, imo., as expected. Lots of laugh out loud moments, some tear jerker moments, Margot Robbie is a knock out, and Ryan Gosling was hysterical. I wouldn't expect guys to rush out to see it.

McKay had a significant role in some parts of Succession including directing the pilot so that's a positive on his record and you seem annoyed by the fact.

Michael Constantine is nails as the Old Gyp. Gets better every time I see him.

Indeed, it seemed to get rushed as it wound down, like the production was pressed on money issues. Obviously it was filmed in exact order which is sometimes wrought with peril in the end.

No, that was just Elsie, basically the lead female character (aunt)'s version of Alexa/OK Google. Basically the smart-home operator machine that Megan had figured out how to turn off near the climax.

Immediately we're clued as to the mindset of the elder brother over there in the mid-East as he in a fire fight in boundless corridors, as he goes thru he double taps every Hajji he's put down.

And the (owed scene) there before the door is busted in and they're taken on the [acid trip]...elder brother calls it plain and loud, so the wife hears..."Who gave you the money (for their daughter's open heart surgery)?"...it hadn't been [crowd funded] after all (like who's gonna wait for that funding on pure speculation?, obviously not the blooded older brother.) And the last bill owed, as he comes in close and lowers his voice so that wife could not hear and to save them both the humiliation..."Who took your beatings from the old man? Me." It didn't move Jaime in that moment, but it did at the last as his wife pulls him away and to their salvation.

Fine presentation. This one sticks and that is always so damn sweet.

I love all them [Jessie Stones.] We watched them in order a few years back. Love the one with the rich couple who are basically serial killers, don't recall the title on that one. The girl is hotter than a pistol though. And any of 'em that have "Hasty Hathaway" in it are doubly good.

Sellleck went to "Blue Bloods" and that was the end of it. Miss fresh ones terribly. Sometimes I dream he comes back and makes some more.

They always got the good looking women and young girls. That one secretary/assistant that Gino Fish had in a latter {Stone} was just absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I was in love.

Christ-a-mighty, it was so wonderful.

Nice jog of my memory, M-M, makes me Sunday.

I've never ventured a "Blue Blood," Andrew. I may try it though.

& there ain't one bad {Stone} nary a one. And they're easily re-watchable. Once you accept the premise and (his) manifestations it's easy to get into it and stay there. Just wish time could stand still for something like {Stone}.

Queen of the Morning Calm 2019 6/10

Cliffs. A an abused Korean girl becomes a Toronto sex worker and tries to provide for her daughter.

A chick whose step father was a molesting pig, is then further traumatized when her bio mother walks in on her being raped and blames her own daughter!
Out on her own, she is somewhat predicably drawn to a user husband, who lives off her earnings working at the strip club.
Dickwad husband is also a degenerate gambler who loses all the money she makes.

Sadly a very often true scenario in todays society.

Ending is realistic but encouraging.

Paid reviewers succinct summary is accurate:
Angela Morrison praised the film, writing that "The film is technically accomplished and meticulously shot, perfectly capturing the chilly streets, cozy shops and small apartment spaces of Toronto. Scenes of Mona and Debra dragging their belongings through the city streets evoke the alienation and sense of precarity that comes with being a single mother and a sex worker in a big city, experiences that are often excluded within the canon of Toronto-set indie rom-coms (i.e. The F Word, Take This Waltz), a fact that Kim recognizes and begins to rectify in telling this deeply personal, resonant story."

Absolutely, there ain't a bad one in the entire bunch, Ange.

It lives in me heart for so many reasons; one being the manner in which some of the episodes end with a review of the cast in freeze frame moments, under a most endearingly subdued musical passage. It brings tears to my eyes each time this litany is presented.

& he's not perfect, far from it. He's a bully, an insufferable skirt chaser, a scofflaw, his sins are boundless. He is terribly human, trying desperately to locate his way and end well. I pray & like to imagine he finds that way, and perhaps some day he'll return to [Jesse Stone] and then we'll know.

Are they rentable? If they are, do it, don't live in regret for missing those, Ange. It ain't worth it NOT to rent them NOW while you're involved in it to this direct degree.

Rebecca Pidgeon is in this one and I simply love her since she did -The Winslow Boy- back in that circa which is a masterpiece of understated emotions. I love this film with every ounce of my being. There she plays the daughter of a British family that is challenged by the accusation that the youngest son in the family has cheated in Military School, stolen a "money order." The father wants to fight it without pause. The mother does not. The family is portending wealth but is lacking of that wealth. Enter a barrister who represents the Winslow Boy in the courts and falls instantly in love with the Pidgeon girl///her with him.

It is a flawless motion picture event.

The -Hi-Lo Country- with Woody Harrelson, Billy Crudup, Patricia Arquette & Sam Elliott, in a blistering assignment. Harrelson lights this absolutely ablaze in a key sequence over a card table when local scores are outed & settled, on-the-spot, though embers remain firmly banked.

Fantastic musical score throughout. This was a major production.

Scorsese produced it with the De Fina girl in '98. Have viewed this numerous times and it will not disappoint. Takes place in the Southwest immediately after WWII.

The Cruz girl is also present and accounted for, as is legendary actor Katy Jurado as a Witch who delivers a 1 word (No) during a fortune telling sequence she performs as we fix to see it thru to the end.

At prime Cole Hauser (Little Boy) is there as well and comes to the fore at the last but with a force that everyone sees coming cept Harrelson (Big Boy).

Watched -Transsiberian- 2008 with W. Harrelson, and Emily Mortimer as train travelers, with Ben Kingsley as a Russian detective searching for drugs and the money, always the money.

I've seen this movie multiple times and it wears well. This is the movie where I discovered the old Russian proverb..."Once the lies start you may go forward in the world, but you may never go back."

Lots of twists, turns and it does break ranks a might as it cruises along the tracks toward the last, but anytime you can get Harrelson in front of a camera, is a good time. He's got something and he's never lost it.

Had to resort to FreeVee to view it, and they had 13 minutes of commercials over the 1:45 minute running time, so, it wasn't too bad though the vast lion's share of the commercialS were severely WOKE.

- meh was disappointed in the extended ending.
From the point in time where their hooking up turned into a rape.

Then at the very absolute end, are we to take that as she was going back to him? She gives a little coy smile as she's dropping the knife.

FFS i know that kind of toxicity and co dependence really does happen in the real world but phuuuuck that was sick.

I loved her the 1st 2/3rds and thought he was 100 blowing it with such a righteous chick.

The set up was awesome lesson on what one can do but should not do when their insecurities get the best of themselves.

Agreed the ending kinda left you wondering if she really let him go, went back with him? or what? But I can see this entire movie happening in real life with a couple working at the same company and a promotion is given to one and the other believes they did the nasty to get to the top. Insecure for sure. But!! She did kinda put off the vibes like she did the nasty to piss him off.

I had my radar on to see if she would vibe him to feel superior / make him feel inferior and i got zero.
From what i saw she was a 100 cool chick. As she stated, she even gave him a congratulatory F when it appeared thru rumor that HE was going to get promotion.
I saw it as him being a total insecure mega dick and was baffled when she went back to him after all that. I mean even before the final bathroom blowup scene.

Only watched it once. Perhaps i missed her going into a bit of an uppity bitch mode.
I'll give it a 2nd.

We both agree the set up, the first oh lets say 2/3rds of the movie was great.

He's never cheated us, nor withheld what we desired. Ever. It's his religion. Perhaps, yes, what we want/ed is a mirror image of his want, but he's never called us on it. "You want it? No problem. I'm gonna give it to with a quality that'll last forever. You'll see."

"Jergens" in -Rocky- standing there with 3 scorecards...in the aftermath..."Ladies and gentlemen, we have a split decision."

SS, preserving what he'd made in the charter issue brings it to a full summit in IV...by presenting Creed's wife/original actor, untouched! At zenith, time had, God bless it, been mercifully kind to her, and us, so that when she is risen, tears have welled, but not fallen it's not just something, but it-is-everything. For Creed, as he leans back into the turnbuckle awaiting his final round after warning Rocky not to stop it, "no matter what."...Creed shows us who it's been the entire time, not the manager/pseudo father. No! And not Rocky. No!. SS forgets NOTHING! Husband & wife find one another for the final time, the nod is given and we move forward leaving in our wake so much.

It's all SS. He's a genuine American hero, who is selfless and loves the people who love him.

-Invasion of the Body Snatchers- '78. An American masterpiece. There is a point in this about midway thru where Sutherland comes to the bitter realization that it will not work out; lives & love will end. His tears sheen his eyes ever so delicately.

Pretty brutal depiction of the aftermath of nuclear war with none of the feel good scenes you typically see in these kind of movies. War comes from the US invading Iran, which draws Russia in, so maybe we'll get to see it real life soon enough. Movie makes it clear the next war after WW3 will be fought with sticks and stones.

Movie definitely makes me just want to run to Randolph AFB (live in the area) to die in the initial blast if I ever see our ICBMs in the air and/or hear the nuclear strike warning sirens. Pretty horrible seeing mid 30s Ruth maybe 13 years after the blast with gray hair and giant cataracts dying with a daughter who doesn't even really give a shit since she's so desensitized to death. Kind of weird her daughter talks in pidgin, probably the one part of the movie that seems pretty unrealistic.

Personally I love ambiguous endings. Thank goodness Sam Esmail didn’t take the Knock At The Cabin route and put a really terrible, corny, hamfisted bow on things.

The whole point of the movie was in that ending.

[Darth_Pelican]

I guess. The final act just seemed rushed. One minute, they’re screaming at deer and the son is taking pills so more teeth don’t fall out. Then a 30 second big “reveal” about the grand plan of the fall of civilization…. Then the daughter is at the bunker watching Friends and the credits roll. I don’t need a cliche ending to be satisfied, but that ending wasn’t it either.

-Bad Call-

A short film.
23 minutes.
(2009)

A boyish Iraq war veteran has returned home to his beautiful wife who seems, on the surface to have grown weary of him. But, not all is as it appears in this quick study of PTSD. There is nary a waking moment when this young soldier isn't processing his combat experiences. She is drifting away from him yet prompts him to take his medications which he has been avoiding. She is going out for the evening with a girlfriend to a costume party-on a yacht-dressed as an angel---with wings, both girls in fact have donned these wings. This is important. He has been invited, but, has declined and this declination seems to be a crux for the young woman. Watch for it.

One must view this several times to glean what is being said, by whom, and what it means. It's there, in rapid snippets of film & sound. The kid only gets one chance to view it, hear it and then act upon what he has heard and what he is to see. By then, he has glued his eyes shut, pried open one with pliers and ordered a taxi for the drive on out to the party. He is a soldier one last time. The transition is stunning.

I'll keep it on the shelf for quick viewings. It's worth it.

I located one of my all time favorite movies last night on [Prime] and purchased it.

-A Ring by Spring-

From Hallmark in 2014.

Stars Rachel Boston/"Caryn" as a 30-year-old-woman struggling mightily to figure out her intentions at marriage.
She's a business consultant and finds a mutual attraction (she fights it hammer & tong) with the owner of the business she's consulting, ably played by the late Kirby Morrow/"Tom." The crux is provided by Powers, Stefanie. Any time you can get Powers in front a camera is a great time. Here she has scant screen time, but it's vitally important to the girl and the plot. At the first Powers, as a Gypsy fortune teller predicts:
"You will receive a ring by spring, or, you will never marry."

90 minutes later, and the arrival of Spring Day she pantomimes "Tommy" as the soundtrack completes to freeze frame.
I love it so.

-Hemingway's Garden of Eden-
2008

About a WWI., returning veteran/writer who tours Europe with his rich wife and her Italian girlfriend. Now the wife/blonde is precocious, though not beautiful---it's a might disconcerting, but you'll get used to it. Her girlfriend/raven haired is scorching hot and somehow gets hotter as this film progresses. The production is highfalutin, the movie is complete. The sex scenes are tastefully brazen. Gonna watch it again this evening.

I saw Wonka yesterday. I read reviews prior but still had hope because I love Chalamet. But with not much to work with he just couldn’t carry it on his own. I expected big dazzling musical numbers but all the songs sounded alike, no catchy hooks or lyrics, just weak. The supporting cast was zero support, who knows who most of the actors were but it was nice to see Mr Carson from Downton Abbey now works at a laundry. Olivia Colman was a total waste, why did they even bother? Keegan-Michael Keys character was rolleyes stupid. I love Sally Hawkins and every second she was on screen was sweet and warm but sadly it really was only seconds. The big standout was Hugh Grant as the OompaLoompa. He really was funny because there was no acting, just being Hugh Grant painted orange. Chalamet was everything I wanted but not enough to save this film. 4/10
