We're watching this now. Not easy to do as the dialogue - everything - are from a different and increasingly alien time. But, this is the prototype for movies like Airport and Towering Inferno and Posidon Adventure. The story structure's the same.

Robert Stack's the pilot. I read when he did Airplane! he was parodying himself :)

I watched a little of Bride of Frankenstein last night and was really enjoying it, but had to hit the hay. Early day. Good movie by itself - you watch that and you instantly see Gene Hackman's scene in Young Frankenstein. He nailed it. But this is about Svengoolie, who adds flavor to any movie like that. I thought he was only regional and while not a dedicated fan he's been a fixture on TV for years.

Anybody ever heard of this guy?

I don't know why but I've never seen any of the Mission Impossible movies - until now. We put the latest one on the other night in 85" of UHD with the sound system rattling the pictures on the walls. The plots can be Byzantine but we enjoyed the hell out of this one, they're quite the ride. 9/10 just because it's a tad hard to follow in spots.

.... so we had to watch the previous one and yup.... the theme music, the presentation are all fantastic. Again, a bit hard to follow and there are some recognizable plot devices on repeat but we love it/ 9/10. I think we'll have to go back and start at the beginning though, it's a bit confusing.

Yeah, that's Superman in both of them and Henry Cavill does a good job. A geek note, SiG must've had the contract to supply props or something on Fallout. Dead Reckoning opens and shows us that Ethan Hunt is carry his trusty 1911A! .45. I get a kick out of that - still solving problems after all these years. My wife and I both get a kick out of watching a man our age do all that stuff - and he does. Might be a kook in real life but he makes a nice product

I recently enjoyed this little Pearl of a movie — not usually my genre, but having seen it, I don't hesitate to recommend it !



Pearl is the prequel movie to X (2022), my wife and I agree both movies are fantastic for their genre, and these two movies are actually part of a Trilogy...I heard the third movie is coming out later this year and its called MaXXXine...I recommend you watch X...q37

Here's a trailer for X:

.... I heard someone review one of the films and he said 'even the trees talk in this .....'

They seem interesting by my attention span is far too limited for all that

Watched MI3 last night, not a bad movie. It set the formula for the next several which are just variations on a theme, but entertaining ones.
I didn't care for MI1 because I was a fan of the original series and didn't like the treatment they gave the original iconic leader of the IMF. I never suspected I'd ever be using this phrase but MI2 was 'toxic masculinity' and too over the top Cruise-ish, with some Emilio Estevez on the side. It brings you right back to the 90s and there are some things in there that wouldn't fly today.

But we liked this one

Avatar — The Way Of Water

75


Notwithstanding almost anything with Adam Sandler ( Happy Gilmore excluded ), Avatar The Way Of Water is possibly the worst movie of all time — until you start thinking about it as something other than weakly veiled social commentary on the state of the real world. For example, those who are familiar with UNDRIP will need a barf bag to get through this one.
