The "last movie I saw" thread

[Sleeping in EQ]

There are probably enough lawyers on the board to be interested in an issue I think the Supreme Court will have to settle:

Namely, that we no longer know what counts as obscenity.

The first two criteria of Miller vs. California are about "community standards" and "State law." These seem impossible in a world with smart phones, texting, the Interweb etc.

The third criterion of Miller makes sense to me in terms of my own decision making. I avoid any work that, when taken as a whole, lacks "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

Instead of feeling shame over watching some underwater undulations in Splash!, maybe you all should be avoiding Jaws: The Revenge and Batman and Robin.

You can't pay complete homage to gratuitous 80s boobage without Bob Loblaw's Scott Baio's, "Zapped!"

The Bounty was especially egregious, or at least I remember it that way. The portrayal was of Tahitian natives in the nude, but in practice it was a bunch of Hawaiian bikini models walking around topless.

Two more on the list!

Titanic was PG-13, released in 1997. I enjoyed the "Snide Remarks" movie review that ran in the Daily Universe: https://www.ericdsnider.com/snide/clash-of-the-titanic/

True story. I had overlapped only the first part of Eric Snider's Daily Universe run while I was still in Provo. We moved to Montreal in 1997. About a year later I was in the computer lab checking my email. Someone had forwarded me his Titanic review, and I loved it. But in the version I had there was no reference to Provo, and he wasn't listed as an author. I think it took another year before I finally figured out it was from Snider. I then dutifully bought his two volumes of Snide Remarks (which I still have somewhere).

I absolutely loved Hamilton. Made me grateful both for the brilliant founding fathers and also for brilliant, creative people that can write, organize, and perform a story like that and entertain us for a couple hours. Thank you.

It 2-- took me long enough to get around to watching this, since I saw the first one in the theatre on day 1. Scary, smart, and hilarious- Bill Hader is a national treasure.

I thought 1 and 2 were both well done. Very enjoyable.

For those who liked Hamilton. You can listen to someone doing the Muppets doing the first act.

I like Fonzy as Lafayette. Guns and Ships is funny when he gets to that really fast rapping. That is at 53:12.

While our oldest and her family were visiting us the past few days, we watched a few movies, including Jaws which, surprisingly, neither she nor her teenaged children had seen. They enjoyed it, and there were a few shrieks at surprise moments that made it entertaining for me. It was also interesting to see parallels between the shark and COVID, with the mayor and townspeople demanding that the beaches be opened lest the economy be wrecked. I suspect I'm going to view a lot of things through a COVID lens in the months/years ahead.

And Greyhound, streaming on Apple TV, is a solid movie. Tom Hanks plays the captain of a destroyer (surprisingly, not a bus driver) trying to shepherd a large convoy of cargo ships to England at the start of WWII. Some tense moments with Hanks again playing a likeable Everyman.

Bummer about Greyhound. I was hoping it was about a bus that had to maintain a certain speed or it would blow up. That would be a great flick.

Or the bus could be hijacked by terrorists and the driver saves the day.

Greyhound is great! Watched it last night.
