    Probably too busy playing outside.
    Anyways, it is worth a viewing because it predates Silence of the Lambs (1991).
    The music is good enough and it is Michael Mann in a similar style as his movie Thief (1981).
    Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins did it better but its interesting to watch earlier content.
    Other purists disagree as they believe the Brian Cox version of Hannibal to be more realistic.
    On the plus side we have (William Petersen) in Manhunter from To Live and Die in LA (1985) which is by far a superior movie IMO.
    I guess he came back from the dead to play an FBI Agent.

    Manhunter (1986)

    I enjoyed Manhunter as well Monet - been over a decade since I saw it IIRC. If you haven't seen it already, you might want to check out Red Dragon with Ralph Fiennes - it was pretty good.

    Forgive me I'm slow.
    I just realized that is a line in the movie TENET lol.
    I just put on Happy Gilmore but had to post this while it plays in the background.
    Cheers!

    Christopher McDonald is a primetime villain and was well cast for Happy Gilmore (I plan to give it another watch at some point when I am in good spirits so that the zaniness is more effective on me). I'm glad you decided to give Tenet a go - in a lot of movies, military officers are typecast as one dimensional idiots, but in this movie, reality sets in and you have military personnel who have a graduate level understanding of physics coupled with the elite physical abilities you would expect of military personnel (like many a graduate of West Point for example).

    I'm pretty sure your thinking is more advanced on the subject matter of the movie TENET compared to mine.
    I didn't even realize that Christopher Nolan put the movie together till the end credits.
    Of course while watching it I couldn't help to constantly compare it to INCEPTION.
    Made sense once I seen his name at the end.

    When I seen Dunkirk in the movie theater I loved it.
    My uncle, not so much.
    Claimed like many others that the movie wasn't much of a movie.
    I tried to explain that it wasn't in a traditional story format.
    That movie was a visual experience.
    The scenes in the cockpits were enough for me to go back by myself and watch it again.

    Anyways, Happy Gilmore is goofy but has so many great one liners I can't help but love it.
    This is all subjective but that movie never stops.
    Its jab after jab of great wit.
    Jaws is in that movie.
    Apollo Creed is in it.
    Lee Trevino.
    Happy Gilmore beating up Kevin Nealon telling him to play it where it lies Mother Fucker lol lol lol.
    The clown spitting back his ball in the miniature golf scene.

    Ben Stiller running a sweat shop at the old folks home.
    Well the price is now 200 dollars per quilt.
    Well this is high quality shit we are talking about here.
    Ok... pleasure doing business with you.
    Good News Girls... I've increased arts and crafts time by 3 hours today!
    "My fingers hurt"... whats that?
    "My fingers hurt"
    Oh now your backs gonna hurt because you just pulled landscaping duty... lol lol lol.
    Anyone else's back hurt??
    I didn't think so.

    The homeless guy becomes a caddy.
    Opponent puts a quarter down to mark his ball.
    Homeless caddy comes over and picks it up and puts it in his pocket lol lol lol.

    Gilmore using a batting cage to toughen up his body for hockey tryouts lol.
    First caddy takes his clubs and Gilmore knocks him down to the ground because he thinks he is stealing them.
    Gilmore pulling the old school hockey move to a Fan by pulling over his shirt and hitting him with a left hook lol lol lol.

    The Fucking Movie is endless.
    To each his own.
    I guess you either love it or hate it.
    Let's not forget that I don't enjoy John Wick very much.
    And I for sure only liked the first installment.

    After Gilmore I popped in Tin Cup because of this thread.
    Not sure how you guys don't love that movie.
    It has nothing but prop bet gambling all through it.
    Great Movie with a clever storyline.
    People think it is unrealistic but those types of guys exist.
    I've known a few and have tried to become one of them in the last decade or so.
    I'm not there yet... still have fear holding me back but I have crashed and burned enough to relate to the subject material.

    The opening scene is a pretty good bang.
    "I thought I had a Dr. Griswold?"
    lol lol lol

    Let's not forget that Bull Durham (1988) is way more popular but both movies are the same writer/director.
    That being said he also did Hollywood Homicide (2003) which I didn't like but White Men Can't Jump (1992) was pretty good.
    The Great White Hype (1996) isn't talked about much but its funny enough.

    Ron Shelton also wrote The Best of Times (1986) which I love and watch all the Fucking Time.
    Great Movie IMO... love that movie.
    The guy wrote quite a bit more but I can end this wall of text here.
    Kid Lester!

    I recently also rented two other new movies.

    News of the World with Tom Hanks...
    not so good.
    ok I suppose.
    Not a movie I will watch multiple times.
    Like say Tom Hanks in Cast Away...
    Wilson... Wilson!
    Never again Wilson... never again.

    Let Him Go with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane.
    Good enough story and acting.
    I would watch again but not a movie like A Perfect World (1993)
    I own that movie and watch it once in awhile.
    Love the music at the end and at times it will make me cry like a little girl.

    Well in my case it was neither, I remember thinking it was OK/Average. But after your description, I have decided that it was likely I didn't see it while in a good mood, and I will watch it again when I am in a light-hearted mood (it's frequently on TV IIRC).

    Now here is something interesting about Tenet IMHO. It actually isn't a time travel movie technically. You will see what I mean with the following example:
    Suppose we could arrange all the elementary particles in our universe in exactly the same state and position they were in at some time point on June 10, 1974 (we'll call this T0) along with the universe itself in its exact level of expansion at that point (our universe keeps expanding ever more rapidly into the void as time moves forward). Well if you could observe our universe in state T0 it would be no different than if you had time traveled back to that point in time in 1974. But you didn't - the elementary particles of the universe were re-arranged to be exactly the same as they were for that time point so you could not tell the difference. So it might as well be time travel in terms of what one experiences, but that is not what actually happens in this example.

    Well the same thing is happening in Tenet. What got invented was a method that can put an object in reverse entropy in that movie. So the object returns to the state it was in at an earlier time, but no traveling back in time is done (the object's molecules just move back into the position they were in at an earlier time when exposed to the reverse entropy method that was invented in the future).

    Thanks for the breakdown!
    I'm pretty sure watching Happy Gilmore on TV would be edited too much.
    You certainly want to watch that movie unedited.
    No worries though.
    We can't agree on everything.
    Case in point...
    Some people love the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and similar movies.
    I don't watch them and have no interest.

    Ok good point Monet - I did not see Happy Gilmore in the theater, I saw it on TV (I guess I'll have to putlocker it to get the full dose of zaniness).

    A Dream of Kings (1969) with Anthony Quinn

    I popped this movie in after Tin Cup this morning.
    Very difficult movie to find.
    Let me know if you can find it free on the internet... I was unable.
    Its free on youtube if you speak raghead.
    I paid 30 dollars for the DvD and was happy to because I wanted it.
    The opening 35 minutes has this great scene where he talks about going broke the night before to a great Poker Player.
    He lost with Aces Full to Four Deuces.
    Anyways... he gets 20 bucks from a customer after giving his daughters his last 50 cents.
    So as soon as he can after getting the 20 dollars he bets 10 dollars on a horse race.
    He wins 77 dollars on that horse.
    Proceeds to the backroom to play poker.
    Finds a Sucker.
    Runs up the money to about 750 or a grand.
    whatever... pays off his debts and buys groceries for his family.
    Fucking Great scene where he runs his money up from nothing.
    Love that shit because I used to do it all the time.
    Sort of still do with crazy swings on occassions.
    Nothing better than running up 5 or 10 dollars to something like a grand or 5 grand.
    That shit is amazing.
    I'm sure you can relate.

    Yes, just made a post about a pretty good vultured Golden Egypt (what you refer to as a vision style game) run up today (+$460 on the day). Flopped the ducks on a 10x5x5cent ($2.50) DW bet vultured UX play (so some hands were multiplied) for something like $800 a few months back - lighting strikes for people like us who are in the casino just about every day. Couldn't find the movie (for free) but looks intriguing.

    If you notice the blonde is the same girl from 5 Card Stud and Hang 'Em High that we were talking about in the other thread.
    Inger Stevens.
    This is one movie where I feel bad for the wife because of the roaming/cheating husband.
    Usually that sort of thing doesn't bother me because it is very realistic but for some reason, in this instance, it does.
    I really can't explain it.
    Good Character development I suppose.
    I get it though, it goes along with his/my lifestyle.
    Been there and done that.
    That's why I say you don't Fuck around with the neighbor or some girl near your home.
    If you have to, get a hooker or a massage girl.
    Keep that shit separate and far away from your family.
    This girl is going to the same church as he and his family... that's just asking for trouble.
    I like the movie though.
    Obviously as I paid 30 dollars so I could have it on DvD.
    I root for and against him which is sort of rare for me to take both sides.

    I'll keep my eye out for it. Putlocker or 123movies type sites pop up all the time and one of them could likely have it.

    Caught this again yesterday on one of my movie channels...

    I feel it is essential for movie and history buffs.
    Probably one of the best actors of our time.
    What makes him even greater is refusing 2 Oscars.
    Calling the Oscars "a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons!"
    Legend has it that Scott was watching an NHL Game while the Award Show was being aired.
    I still have a difficult time watching a movie he did in 1979... Hardcore.

    I didn't look too hard to see if it is free online.
    It should be provided free of charge IMO.

    Patton (1970)

    Yes Patton deserves its high ratings IMHO. Here is the link for Hardcore (thanks for the reco, I'm ripping it as I type this):
    https://w.123-movies.club/hardcore-1979/watching/ (once there click the "123server" button and then click the circularly-inscribed centrally-located right arrow button in the movie rectangle).

    I've caught Hardcore a few times.
    Kind of difficult subject matter for me to rewatch.
    I was more interested in finding the movie Patton for free on the net.
    Did you provide that link or do you have it?

    Thank You... “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.”

    I don't want to post the whole speech but gosh is it a good read.

  18. #318
    I feel like I already talked about this movie but I'm too lazy to check back 16 pages.
    The point is the movie should be mentioned more than once.
    He should of got the Oscar for this scene/speech alone.
    The ending of this movie is Fucking Great!

    Runaway Train (1985)
