"The Indiana Jones movies are full of xenophobic shit. It's just a tiresome trope to make the American hero look better." And who would you like the globe trotting, action hero, archeologist to fight? Should we all watch the rough cut of new films and fill out surveys of how much they offended us, or offended others by proxy, so we can make sterile, soulless films where nothing of consequence happens and whatever does happen is focused grouped to make sure no one is even remotely offended, or God forbid, intrigued or excited? Maybe Indiana Jones and The Participation Trophy for Everyone. How is it you people are so easily offended? Rhetorical question. You're not. You're high on the feeling of being offended for others. Not as cerebral as Vertigo but more fun. Might be the first modern action movie. As always Cary Grant is a presence. 10/10 Agreed. Why was the sexuality of the other presenters not mentioned? Simple answer: It doesn't matter. Kurt Russel lived and acted through that period of history in Hollywood. He was a child actor and was featured in many films and TV shows of the time. That's enough for me to provide a link to justify his narration. I'm watching it now. Just started it. Red Letter Media. I like Jay a lot. He know his stuff and has a good personality. "I’m from the UK and have not heard of this kind of hooliganism before." C'mon man. You guys (not all) specifically go to games to get in fights with rival FCs. And as an Eagles fan, well, this year some fans did start a fight in the parking lot with a famous NBA player because he was wearing a Reskins jersey. So it happens but it's rare. ATG6 Agreed. This is a film. The Marvel movies are popcorn movies. I'm not trying to trash talk the Marvel movies. Obviously people like them and that's good but this felt like a graphic novel some to life and I will never, ever, understand the hate it gets. The concussion of the blast. It can scramble your insides. One of the best films ever made. I'm not going to waste too much time with you. Have you read a Superman comic? Agree. Platoon is morality tale. It felt very melodramatic at times. Allegorical. FMJ is war, no right side, no wrong side, no judgement. Almost documentary like. Whoa there. I was going to mention Deadwood in my post as a TV movie that did it right. I had no idea what was going to happen during the Deadwood movie. It seemed to exist as a device for telling a story rather than "remember these guys?" "Remember the guy who crushed up the mobile home? Well here he is" With Deadwood I didn't know who would live, who wouldn't, where the story would end up, etc. El Camino was like "Yeah, that's how I imagined it." It was very well done, well made...but felt unnecessary. At the end of BB I think we all agreed Jesse got away. How he did it, unless it had some spectacular story and character elements, is irrelevant. But, whatever, some feel any BB is good and it didn't shit on anything that came before it so no harm done. That would be my review "No harm done." I'm going to guess 4 - 6 months. I had no idea they were going to make a series. Yes, and I've read the book it's based off "Roadside Picnic" and seen the film based off the book "Stalker". Buffalo 66 6 was Jonathan's jersey number. I, for one, found this funny. Good job. In the one where Micah becomes a drunk again a makes Lucas the Marshall Lucas hires a black guy to take care of the homestead. Thad was the character's name.
