Maximus the Gladiator is supporting cast!?.
Having seen Crowe in The Nice Guys, I believe he can support quite a bit mass at this point.

watched the new the mummy last night. it was predictably awful. although russell crowe wasn't half bad as a dr. jekyl.
yes he's settled into middle aged gut quite nicelyHaving seen Crowe in The Nice Guys, I believe he can support quite a bit mass at this point.
you didn't miss anything. the special effects were pretty bad.The trailer was awful too. Glad I skipped that one.

Don't you think a lot of this is due to the rise of must-watch television? If you have a really good, character-driven story, you can tell it just as effectively on television/streaming than you can on a 30' screen, for a much smaller cost. The movie theater experience is really only advantageous for telling highly visual stories.
There's nothing about the Godfather that would be taken away if you watched it on a 60" screen at home instead of in a movie theater. You can't say the same for Fury Road or Guardians of the Galaxy. So more and more of the "good" movies - character-driven, great stories - are going to move to streaming services, while the movies will be starving for visual movies that may or not have great stories or character.
The filmic world, as with cameras has come to an end. The silky super saturated and wide screen quality is gone. Without it, going to the cinema can be repeated at home equally of not better, from a comfort position.
Funnily enough I watched the new Star Wars Rogue One last night at home. Whilst it was quite good, the grandiose cinematic widescreen experience was lacking. And it wasn't that I didn't watch in the cinema.
I saw Rogue One at the BFI IMAX in London. Biggest screen in Britain. Fantastic experience.
watched The Godfather II last night. i preferred part 1. it was a little hectic and all the shit with Hyman Roth just seemed to be fairly anti-climactic. the end scene with michael showing how he was all alone and had basically been that way his entire life, was poignant, but really made the rest of the movie seem kind of pointless in comparison.
Because they all trained and came of intellectual maturity in the country they wanted to be free from the yoke of.
Of course, it's entirely possible to like or admire something, and yet want not want to be controlled by it.
you keep being you. don't let those bums out there tell you otherwise.Is that why you lads got married?
It's just baffling to me. If I walk like a duck, quack like a duck and waddle like one I'd accept I was a duck. Anything else would be a futile struggle to be mediocre at best and ignore the innate strengths I was born with. At least that is my nature. I wouldn't proscribe to being a penguin because it's in vogue. At some point one has to deal with the gifts or curses that one was blessed or cursed with. However one wants to see it.

Against Rambo's advice, I watched The Mummy. What was the point of that movie - other than to show London blowing up to bits? The final battle scenes were so dark I barely saw anything. The secret society and Jekyll/Hyde stuff seemed to make it even more unfocused.
Very popular film in Britain.watched Shawshank Redemption tonight for the first time in a LONG time. man, what a great movie that is. they just don't make them like this any longer.
I did as well. Did you think it held up?Last week We watched the original BladeRUNNER DIRECTORS CUT. Getting ready to watch the new one on big screen.

The directors cut? - It was so long ago I watched the first one a few times - I didn't remember all the details to really compare. I think the lack of voice over wasn't a good thing.I did as well. Did you think it held up?

Formby - I didn't think Blade Runner was over rated at all.
you watching the new amazon series? if so, is it any good?Philip K. Dick is an interesting writer though, or was...

Why does a movie featuring cartoon characters who never age need a remake? Will they draw the characters better the next time around?
Also why are all lions considered black? Because they're from Africa? Aren't there other people who could voice lions? Why are the white people all put in sidekick / comic relief roles? Isn't this some form of discrimination?
I think they can develop an entire series out of blade runner, especially after I have watched the latest one. Now I want to rewatch the 1st part. I think Ryan is a neatpick for the role after seeing him in "Lars and the real girl". Simply love it!
I've also gone back from watching the Foreigner and Thor. Recommend both. The latter is super entertaining. Foreigner kinda touched my heart since it mentions about the boat refugee people after the Vietnam war.
We need to just follow this course to where it naturally leads and bring back segregation. That way there's cultural appropriation and no people whining about how their race is supposedly poorly represented in some movie they aren't going to see anyway.
I liked it -but then I'm a sucker for loooong movies that are slow paced and have good visuals. I saw it on a HUGE screen - even better. One of few movies I could watch again soon after. Naturally it didn't and couldn't have the impact the original did. I had fun comparing/contrasting to the other side of future dystopia - the Mad Max series.Anyone seen Blade Runner 2049 yet? I liked it, but there just seemed to be something missing.... Beautiful film though, and made me want to see Dave Bautista act more, which is odd.
