[Tigers of Old]

I liked EEAAO. Wasn't sure at first like others here but I think the film gets better so am glad I stuck with it. Relatively simple story but was a great visual trip.

All the Oscar Awards though were over the top.

I haven’t watched it. I don’t watch any movie that:

1) Has CGI
2) Is some silly, make believe below earth dragons and beasts thing or some alien zombie crap or childish sci fi futuristic fantasy rubbish
3) Is animated or
4) Has Cher in it.

Can somebody please advise me if this film has any of the above so that I don’t waste my time.

Thank you.

You forgot to add 5) Newer than 1973.

I caught an oldie recently - Running On Empty. 1988 film starring River Phoenix (what a talent, what a loss), Judd Hirsch, Martha Plimpton and Christine Lahti. Hirsch and Lahti play ex-hippy activists on the run for 20 years after bombing a napalm lab, Phoenix is their talented musician son who has to keep changing schools and names, and Plimpton is his love interest and the daughter of the music teacher who wants him to go to Juliard. Very good.

Yep. Good film. Sad about River. Just watched Boys from Brazil the other day. Bit silly but great cast.

Well, does it have any of the aforementioned crap ?

Watched Primal Fear again over the weekend. Edward Norton with one of the greatest debuts ever IMO.

Plenty.

Unreal. Been an underwhelming career after a start like that.

Thank you. You have saved me 5 minutes of my life that I would otherwise have never got back.

Was that Richard Gere? Haven't seen it for a long time.

 

[The Big Richo]

Watched a couple of Netflix numbers lately, Hillbilly Elergy was a typically solid Ron Howard offering and Paradise Highway a hard watch due to the confronting subject matter (child trafficking).

Both worth a look.

Ed Norton was brilliant in American History X too

 

[Tigers of Old]

Ed Norton was brilliant in American History X too

He was great in Fight Club too but it hasn't been a long & successful career. Basically stalled since the 1990s.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Ed Norton was brilliant in American History X too

Yep.

Pretty good in Rounders too.

 

[Ricemagic]

Was that Richard Gere? Haven't seen it for a long time.

Yep Richard Gere man, probably the same type of careers as well, 3-4 hits each and lots of misses

 

[Scoop]

Yep.

Pretty good in Rounders too.

Rounders is massively underrated. That science with Damon and the judges is magic.

 

[Redford]

When is Sicario 3 coming out ? Thought one was in the pipeline ?

Enjoyed 1 and 2.

Are you saying you've never watched one of The Simpsons movies? Totally agree with the other 3, but I'd add a forth. A movie with Steve Carell doing comedy. I think he's awesome as a straight actor, but sucks as a comic. He's very polarizing

 

[Scoop]

And the no animated rule means no Toy Story. Criminal. And no Up. Another classic.

Nope.

Nope. Toy Story. Heh heh heh…

I did watch Up though. My old girl made me. What was that…12 years ago ?
