I haven't seen this one Max (I'm not an expert and am not implying that I am), so I can't comment. It's probably designed to influence the 2024 election towards asswipe Biden, but I'll never learn for sure since I am not going to watch it.Quote:

Maybe if there were more casino probability content, it would be more enjoyable to post in the other threads.Quote:

The second civil war movie looks great and I am going to watch it now since the full movie is on youtube - thanks for the reco.
I went to see it. It really didn't have much of a plot. It was photo journalists travelling to the Capitol like Monet mentioned. There really wasn't any woke stuff, trannies, biracial gay couples or the stuff like that, which seems to be included in all shows lately. If you watch the trailer you pretty much see the movie. It's like 5 dozen trailers linked together to make the movie. I would not recommend it.Quote:

Thanks for the review Max.Quote:

I watched the movie and thought it was pretty solid. Basically it was prophetic in the way that Idiocracy was prophetic. The Mexican reporter who had an affair with the Senator (Beau Bridges) was told by the director to emulate Barbara Streisand's mannerisms I guess.Quote:

Thanks again for the solid reco Monet.

Movie Reco: Fast Charlie. This movie was James Caan's last movie I think (released posthumously). Pierce Brosnan was the main character and plays the role of a solver/assassin employed by a Mississippi (Biloxi) mob outfit run by James Caan's character. I enjoyed the dark humor. Please disregard this post if you have already seen this movie.

How unfortunate.
I used the word "probably". I would have expressed an opinion (good or bad as the case may be) as a certainty if I had seen it. I am not going to see this movie so I don't care about Knowles opinion. Similarly, if a sandwich smells like it is rotting, I am not going to taste it and I will state that the sandwich is probably bad. Ultimately, for the purposes of monetary expenditure, along with the decision of how to spend one's time, probabilities must be assigned and implemented as we navigate through our lives.Quote:

That's all well and good: your money, your choices.
But there is nothing in the movie that is pro-Biden, nor is there anything in it that is pro-Trump: that's part of its beauty: you EXPECT to see a woke political polemic but get a road trip/war movie where ambiguity is the order of the day.
Very violent scenes...compelling to see hordes of my fellow Americans blown away by other fellow Americans.
Thank you for the review Mr. V.Quote:

I may have but I forgot everything about it.
The movie made me laugh a little bit.
Supposedly, it's what gave Wes Anderson his film making style.
The car crashing into the mirror was fun.

A very lonely existence for the sake of pretending to be a big fish in a very small pond.
If you don't want to watch, or listen, to today's stuff, then just turn the television, internet, or whatever, off, and, set about doing your own stuff now that connects to the now. I did, except for a commercial free internet radio channel that plays only one genre of music that spans all types of music over the generations. Very simple, and relaxing, and, something in the background while I work away at other stuff.
Pulp was pretty damn funny I thought. British humor during its zenith (and not to conflate the sort of humor in Pulp with that of Monty Python or Benny Hill which were in full swing at the time as you may recall and which have significantly different humor to that of Pulp and to each other [Benny Hill being slapstick and Monty Python being absurdist]).Quote:

Not a Great Movie but it is a Fantastic Film.
Some of the driving sequences on the freeways is astonishing.
They were basically breaking traffic laws and filming it.
I was trying to figure out how they filmed some of the scenes/footage.
I found out that they were splicing together real-life accidents and fires.
The movie is a bit chaotic with a lot of jump cuts but it works.
It's not easy to distinguish the stunts from the real-life footage.
Researching Henry Blight "Toby" Halicki is worth the time.
The way he died makes sense.
At least it was instant.
