Crazy story, but I thought the movie was really well done. The subject of the documentary died yesterday:

With my wife out of town for a couple of days on business, I am slowly working my way through a few films and tivo'd shows in which she has no interest. One of these was Downfall, about Hitler's final days (and which contains the often lampooned scene where der Fuhrer loses control) I know this is old news, and probably all of you that have any interest in such a thing have seen it already, but just in case I thought I would add my opinion that it is a fantastic film.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

Really a great film. I watched it for the second time last year after I finished the Shirer book on Nazi Germany.Originally posted by creekster View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Patriot's Day. I thought it was very good, but I am a sucker for this kind of movie. They took a few liberties with the story when they didn't really need to, but overall it was reasonably accurate."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Kong Skull Island: I was in a rollicking good mood, so this film was a rollicking good time.
I thought it was odd casting when Tom Hiddleston is the hero and Brie Larsen is the female love interest, but it works. If you watch this, stay until after the credits roll.Comment

Genius. Was really impressed by Jude Law in this one. Quite a bit different from any role I remember seeing him in before."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Got around to watching Martin Scorsese's Silence. I thought it was fantastic, but I recognize that as a former missionary to Japan, this is going to resonate with me in different ways. It is a long movie and there are many scenes that are not comfortable to watch, but it is a story that really sticks with you. Recommended."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Life. Fun film. Not life-changing and very predictable. But if you can go to a film and not think about it too much and just enjoy it then it is worth it.
Special note for Sobchak: It is not like a play. Not at all. You might want to avoid it.
Tip o the hat to Lebowski for the bolding title idea. Makes sense.Last edited by creekster; 03-27-2017, 11:39 AM.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

Was watching the new female version of Ghostbusters with my wife last night when I channeled my inner Moliere and fell asleep."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I swore I borrowed a copy of Passengers from Redbox, but when I got home, it was Arrival again. I channeled my inner Moliere too, except I awoke for the final 20 minutes. That's pretty much all there is to watch, really, the profound part.Comment

Watched the John Carney "trilogy" over the weekend: Once, Begin Again, and Sing Street. I think you would like them.

I saw Arrival last night, too. It was pretty slow but overall I liked it. I stayed awake for the whole thing!Originally posted by Katy Lied View Post
