Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

the police still have the case open even though he sent an email to his friends to say he's checked into rehab
 
Was the ringer on the telephone super loud in the 80's and prior or do they just make any phone ringining in movies 1980's and prior super loud?

It's something I've noticed in a number of movies. I'm watching Ghostbusters now and was jolted into the realization with a super loud ring of the phone.

A few days ago I finally started watching the sixth season of Weeds. About 5 episodes into the season now.


Not only have I come to the conclusion that Nancy is a terrible mother and incredibly selfish person, but every episode seems to end with them in a worse position.

i flipped through the 16 and pregnant on ondemand and decided to watch the one where the girls baby daddy dies right before she finds out she's pregnant, the tragedy!
 
Only want to chime in my support for a Russian Revolution biopic; that whole time period through the Russian Civil War is endlessly fascinating.
 
If there were no scratches on the back what would make a DVD not work?

I was excited to get Aziz Ansari's: Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening in the mail from Netflix, but it won't load on my laptop and my PS2 tells me that it can't read disc. I have turned from excited to sad.

I really think if done right like I said it could be an incredible film, who do you think could pull off Stalin and who would you want for Lenin?

Also, I know it would prolly be American actors trying to add some Russian accent I guess? But what would be really awesome is if it was done kinda how Inglorious Basterds was, that's my favorite thing about that movie is Tarantino actually got actors who could speak those languages fluently, it made it that much better imo.

So if by some chance some director, maybe Tarantino even, could possibly make that work and have Russian actors speaking Russian through out the entire film, which way do you think would be better?
 
Somewhere around posts 840-860 area (page 34/35 for 25 posts per page) I was posting about how I had started keeping track of how many new movies I saw every year with the initial goal being 50 in a year. Last year I watched 54, which I was pleased with at the time, but I have been smoking that this year! I hope I'm able to keep up this pace because I'll finally feel more caught up on the movies people are always saying you should watch or that I'm frequently seeing referenced. I'm up to 51 already this year, and should match 54 before June ends (hopefully).

Not sure what movie I'm going to watch next, but it'll most likely be either The Shining or 25th Hour.

^ I would think you've already seen some of those movies, so I guess you just count every time you see a movie, previously viewed or not?

But if you've already seen The Shining and haven't seen The 25th Hour I'd recommend that first, Edward Norton is pretty fucking good. If it's the other way around and you've never seen The Shining, shame on you and watch that shit now lol

Edit: Derp, must have missed where you said, how many new movies each year, I guess you haven't seen some of those, which is kind of weird. Raging Bull, Ghost Busters, Back To The Future, O Brother, you've only seen those just this year for the first time?

i noticed in the "tell us about..." thread that he's been seeing some really good ones for the first time.

happy to hear you like Lost in Translation! one of those that not everyone appreciates.
 
i don't know what's worse, not having just seen so many classics for the first time or not having long ago seen them and been through repeated viewings of many and conversations about them.

i'm talking solely about the justin bieber movie of course.

Well, Katy Perry's got a movie coming out, so you should probably see it before the regret begins to eat you up inside.
 
i'm too efficient, unfortunately, and began cutting myself well in advance.

I'm only in my mid 20's and a number of films I almost purposely didn't watch when I was younger because I didn't think I'd appreciate them, Raging Bull for example.

Never seeing the Back to the Future trilogy was something that was just not right for being born in the mid 80's, so I had to remedy that. I had admittedly seen most of the first one, but I saw most of the ending when I was little (10yo maybe) and I saw the first half when I was a senior in high school, so I didn't really count it as being already viewed. I also think I had seen Ghostbusters before, but I must have been really young as I only remembered the gargoyle statues and the ending. I didn't realize Sigourney Weaver was the female lead until I started watching it.


FWIW the Bieber movie was somewhat inspiring and interesting to see how much people loved this kid. Loved isn't even the right term. There was some scenes of absolute fan mania. I found the movie interesting from an economic standpoint as it is unbelievable how much one person can effect an industry and basically become a product. He could sell out entire venues in minutes. I think that's interesting how artists can be so valuable without selling a tangible product. Ya there are CD's, t-shirts, posters, etc. but those are a result of the person.

I really don't see what could possibly be inspiring about Justin Bieber's story. You're right - he's a product; products are meant to sell. There's been a proven recipe for success for turning cutesy teenagers singing unoffensive bubblegum pop into multi-million dollar industries for the past sixty years now. He's like Furbies, or Beanie Babies, or Pokemon cards...everybody wants one but nobody knows why. If anything that movie should have depressed the hell out of you...Justin Bieber is the ultimate personification of our society's rampant, blind consumerism. Calling Justin Bieber an artist is like like calling a Big Mac a gourmet meal.
