why are you all watching a remake of a movie you think sucked?
I can see giving new Dune a try, but this is Roadhouse.

Frankly to check to make sure I was right about the first issue. "Yeah, you were right, Dale, let's go back to "My Three Sons. Okay, let's get a snack first, okay? Sure, but don't forget to check those bas s on the Spurs site. Savvy? Savvy, we won't forget. How bout a bowl of Cocoa Crispy's in half-&-half? I'm game, we'll get our favorite bowl. C'mon! I'm comin', I comin'. Help me out of this recliner. One, two, 3, pull!!!"

Great moments in film...American Film.

"I'm askin' ya out for the last time."
They're almost beautiful as their moment of vengeance throbs to the fore.
He's obstinate at recognition.

Bacon & the children...
"...Jesus!"
Easily one of the most satisfying scenes I’ve ever seen.
“I’m busy here what do you boys want?”
“same thing I’ve always wanted. To watch you die.”
Great moments in Film. American Film.
A true hero is every sense of the word.
His finest hour.
Reynolds
And if "Bobby" hadn't been raped he and his friends would've turned "Lewis."
---The mother ers---
"Frank Palancio" is the guy.
Our Tim Matheson has the warrant.
You know what it is, don't ya's?
You damn right.
It's Film. American Film.
Once Upon a time...not in Hollywood...No.
In America.
Our James Russo is in the alley with the children.
Oh, 1 more thing..."Excuse the glove."
4/10 for the latest ghost busters. Was laughing at how much screen time Dan Akroyd was getting. I get that this whole thing was his baby from the start but cmon.
Great moments in Film.
You know from whence.
American Film.
And so beautifully pure your tears will crest.

Here ya go, Thread,,,,great moments in film,,,
And the transitional moment:::"I'll take that Chesterfield now." Hopper has made his peace with the Lord Jesus Christ, and is ready to come on home.
The way DeNiro says “the hoof” always cracks me up.
Walken is a very particular flavor, and there’s times where his acting style is a huge distraction (like in Dune pt 2). But when he’s dialed in with the perfect character in the right movie, he’s sublime.
Yes. It's naturally composed and delivered for the correct effect. And may well have been impromptu by DeNiro.
The 3 are either going to be sitting there tranced, or, as Scorese directs. DeNiro is concentrating on his food, so is Tommy till his mother turns Henry. And Tommy is instantly alarmed..."What's the matter, something wrong with you?" Tommy understand precisely what's happening.
Henry can't eat because of what's in his car's trunk parked 30 feet away in the driveway. Tommy is psychotic so he's naturally disposed to want to murder first and not even care about asking questions later. Henry is the persistent weak link in the trio and this is born out at the last as he turns...when the Court room seated Paulie gives his rat's ass a look just like Tommy gives sweeping back from Henry to DeNiro and finally to his mother. His psychosis moment then breaks and we're OK again. He knew deep in his innards with Henry he was exposed, but the trigger never got pulled.
...like in -At Close Range- '86 with the Penn brothers as his sons, though he isn't too sure about the paternity with Chris Penn in a viciously cruel sequence when he makes this doubt in front of the boy.
Walken is in top form in this film..."sublime" as you submitted...here he comes...
*On the porch and closest to the scene is the Penn boy's real life mother.
Dale, anyone?
1999 TV movie, "Judgment Day: The Ellie Nesler Story,"
I'm not familiar with this movie, Mult.
-First Born-
A small gem from '84, out of Paramount.
Corey Haim's motion picture debut and he does fine.
Robert Downey, Jr. glows & is damn near beautiful.
Teri Garr is cute & pliable till the bottom drops out.
Sarah Jessica Parker is present and accounted for.
But,
it's Peter Weller's film and he owns it, start to finish as the interloper into Garr's family & homestead after her estranged husband announces his impending marriage to another.
Weller is part con man, wannabe drug pusher who clashes summarily with Garr's 2 sons.
Is it flawless? No. Is it serviceable? in' 'eh... just to see Weller command the camera lens.
~~~~~~~~~
Also the production added (not connected to the main plot] a teacher in the local HS who the elder Garr son clashes with not once, but thrice, the last time (below) is someone in that production's axe to grind & it's ground,
BIG TIME...
Netflix
Didn’t watch, but with a 3-week run in theaters we can go ahead and give this a 0/10. Hollywood taking heavy L’s in the culture war
Found another small gem on the Netflix Stream this morning.
-Body Double-
DePalma bankrolled & directed it in '84.
Almost 2 hours but they go by in a flash.
Stars small fry newcomers exclusively but they're accomplished and acquit themselves admirably...
Deborah Shelton is drop dead gorgeous as the female under duress.
Melanie Griffith is bare-ass naked, but it's medicinal for some damn reason.
Craig Wasson is the male lead and I've always thought him a trouper.
Gregg Henry, had that small role in the circa (Scarface) is duplicitous & works superbly.
A lot of ball-busting about Hollywood therein but it doesn't intrude, so, nary problem with it.
I've seen this film a dozen times in 40 years and it never grows old.
