"Last one of the day"? Do you have Cinematica Obsessitiva Morbida?

Heaven's Gate.
Its a bit overly long, and short on meaningful dialogue; but the scenery, the settings, the story are all superb. The roller-skating scene and the waltz that follows it are quite simply, amazing. It bombed at the box-office, but its worth looking at again.

The Shooting Party
One of James Mason's last, and possibly his best.
Now I've got Left Luggage on pause about half-way through. How I adore Marianne Sagebrecht's dry delivery of every line. Miriam Margoyles is sublime.

Last night seen a few Abbott and Costello movies
in black/white.
So reminds of when Men got up when a
Lady came over to a table.
Sadly those old days are long gone.
Not at all.
Come over to Australia.
Chivalry is dead, and rightly so. However, common courtesy is alive and well in Sydney.

i watched "wurthering heights" the one with feines in the role of heathcliff. he is a great actor. i do have a question for the european ppl. in some scenes it had heathcliff and cathy sitting on these rock? looking things, there was lots of them.they were all the same height and width or very close to it. it was like a field of boulders. i never seen anything like that before, the characters talked about the moores is that what the rock things were?
Moorland and heathland are pretty much the same terrain, although heath tends to be lower altitude, and nearer the ocean.
The fields of boulders are created by the unrelenting winds blowing away the tilth, so that any rocks embedded in the soil are partially exposed. We have lots of examples of these in Australia. Uluru is an extreme example, but Dog Rocks, near Anakie in Victoria is closer to what you describe. Google.

'Moors' are not fields of boulders, no. Moors are basically open expanses of untouched land, usually very hilly.
I don't know what the fields of boulders you speak of are though. :shrug:

The Vikings (1958) A bit lacking in historical authenticity (Vikings didn't have wristwatches, for one thing), but a ripping yarn. Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine perfectly cast, and the consumate Frank Thring as the sneering, smarmy baddie. Oh and a couple of women, who get completely smothered by the male leads' overacting. (And there's one bit-player who inconguously has a scandinavin accent.) !?
Guess I should check out that movie, huh? LOL I kinda like Kirk Douglas, you see.

Thats because you my friend have talent AND class, which obviously the screenwriters do not.
Thanks, it's just that it's hard for me to watch movies and not see the screenplay faults. It irritates me because I'm a nobody sitting in my living room trying to find the flaws in my own writing before I show it to anyone and yet somehow screenplay writers plus money can equal real crap sometimes!!
Then again.... heh heh heh... throw me a few million so I can go get that hammock in Kauai (permanently) and maybe I'll sell my stuff to the first crap sceenplay writer too, ha ha!!!!:aflattery:

The author must cringe as he signs his rights away and watches them take sound bytes from his book to do a paste up film with. Guess if they pay him a few million he doesn't cringe that hard but I cringe when I watch it!

I know people probaby aren't much into this genre but anyway, I watched Red Dragon, because I am reading the book. I really dig Thomas Harris as a writer, I can see his craft, even if you don't like mystery thrillers, he's a good writer. Good book from that stand point, but the film????? Explain to me how Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Edward Norton, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, not to mention the great Anthony Hopkins, could all be in the same film together and the film STILL is crap???
Answer is: can't throw money and excellent actors at a bad screen play and expect it to fly.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. In 3D
Tonight it's Alice in Wonderland (the Johnny Depp one) also in 3D
It's funny because I am a huge Johnny fan and a huge Alice in W-land fan and yet I really disliked that movie. I thought the effects were cool and all that but the story didn't do much for me. Some classics do not need " a new twist" IMO. Johnny is of course brilliant in it, as he is in everything. (except Willie Wonka, could have done without that one too, ha ha!)
