Yes This was disturbing.....Especially the little factoid at the end....this happened 30 or was it 70 times across the US..

What a world.

i'm as mad as hell & i'm not gonna take it anymore!

ha! yeah i watched "Network" tonite. Hadn't seen it in many years. Prophetic flick about a fictional network with a mad prophet newscaster. Predicted the worthlessness of "reality" tv years ahead of its time as well as the phoneyness of Faux News long before it came into existence. Great movie, probably lost on too many viewers tho.

"The Cave Dwellers" aka "The Blade Master"

This was on a dvd of Mystery Science Theater 3000 eps. Pretty funny stuff. Needed a laugh & this was good.

At the risk of getting kicked out of tis thread, the scrolls and possibly the planet, I am admitting that I have never seen any of the Iron Man movies.

I had forgotten all about that scene..

He actually makes it sound more peaceful & nicy-nice than it has turned out to be.

Thanx for the link.

Gatsby ...Ewwww.... *shudders lke a skoolgirl*

I used to play chess & read superhero comic books

when I was a young teen....

The Marvel Comicbook movies have gotten better since Marvel took over making their own movies...

Starting with Iron Man 1 in 2008 I think.

I wanted more Scarlett Johansson in Iron Man 2 Than we got...but thats been my only conplaint...

Thor had *swoon* Natalie Portman...


Gatsby I didnt even watch the Redford one....

"The Thief of Bagdad"

yep it's an old movie. Picked up the dvd last year but only watched it tonite. Looks great, excellent SFX for it's time. Movie should have been widescreen, i always thought they could fix it to be so. i hate full screen.

"Side Effects"

Psych thriller starring Rooney Mara (hottie alert), Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jude Law & Channing Tatum. Twist & turns in the plot though one thing at the end didn't jive accordingly. i liked it, def worth a rental.

I just watched Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Exrended I know its ben a bit butI couldnt place anything in the extra 10 minutes that I hadnt seen before...

Tho I guess they might have lingered on the 'Bathing Beauty' longer than in the theatrical release..

Weird thing is I hadda do a Captcha right after & the password was 'Ginger Bread'

"The Left Hand of God"

Old Humphrey Bogart movie. He's a priest though not really, he assumed the ID to escape a warlord. Not bad. Good acting, no CGI no SFX just good acting & a plot.

Yes Oblivion is a Very good Movie..

Well paced & builds nicely Not Everything is explained but at least theres no WTF stuff like happened contiuously in Prometheus..

Leaves you pondering but in a good way..

"Bite the Bullet" (1975)

Western about a 700 mi horse race. Stars Gene Hackman, James Coburn, Candace Bergen. Pretty long film & dragged part of the way but overall it was worth watching.

Deciding between Cheech & Chong movie & "Wild At Heart" tonite.

Haven't seen C&C for awhile & have never seen "Wild At Heart".

Instead, i watched "Tucker and Dale vs Evil"

Hillbillies vs college kids vs big misunderstanding. Plenty of blood!

"Shaft's Big Score"

Finally saw this on Turner Classics. Better than the original but not as good as "Shaft in Africa".
