Re: Last movie you watched

Primer's in my top 5 favorite sci-fi films of all time for what it's worth. Never seen a film NAIL the way engineers talk, think, and approach problem-solving. I've lived the opening scenes about trying to get investors for their company, and it's apparent that Carruth has as well. Beyond that, I love the fact that the movie has the balls to have 75% of it happen off-screen, just showing you slices of slightly different timelines.

From most recent to less...

Reel Steel. Surprisingly fun and entertaining. Solid movie.

Django Unchained. Just excellent.

Full Mettal Jacket. Is it explainable or is it just mindless military porn? Idk

Lincoln. Very Good.

The Frighteners. MJF talks to ghost. Doesn't make much scenes, but good times.

Paranorman. Enjoyable but forgettable.

Cowboys and Aliens. Its fine I don't have a problem with it.

I saw The Heat, and actually had a pretty good time. It's loud and stupid sometimes, but the other times it's whip smart and very funny. Another one where you could miss it, but it's not a waste of an afternoon.

Re: Last movie you watched

Haven't seen the movie and am not likely to anytime soon - but I was surprised to find out it was directed by John Putch.  I remember him as a staple player in just about every sitcom in the '70's, including a season as Valerie Bertinelli's boyfriend on One Day At A Time.   He's also the son of the recently departed Jean Stapleton.

What I really want to know is if he made the movie because he believes in the ideology - or if it was just a gig.   And if it's the latter, how does someone direct a movie with a morality you don't personally subscribe to?    I mean, if I got offered a Christian-themed feature, I suppose I could turn in a serviceable job.  But I'd feel weird as hell about it.

Re: Last movie you watched

Ehhh, depends on how entertaining the bullshit ideology is.
I'd make the coolest scientology propoganda sci-fi war movie EVER

Re: Last movie you watched

^^ Seconded. Unknown is a hugely under-rated thriller from last year. It's one of those rare thrillers where I completely did not guess the twists but they also completely make sense in retrospect and when you re-watch it. Also is very well directed, there's an excellent mid-movie car-chase, and an awesome 1 on 1 dialogue scene between 2 veteran actors. I think I might actually prefer it to Taken personally.
