The IT Crowd is my comfort TV show. As far as movies, I like 70s horror, especially Italian horror, when I need something to distract me. I'll also second the OP on old Adam Sandler movies....I must have watched The Wedding Singer 100 times and it never fails to make me smile.
Unforgiven was a good and very popular movie that won. I remember being surprised that it won because it was so popular.
I wish they would make some more episodes of Black Books, if only to hear Bernard Black hating on Amazon for 22 minutes.
What do you mean by embargo?
I did it too, by adding a copypasta that no one recognized as such to a troll's thread. I won't do it again.
It's very good but it is dark and sad. It doesn't have the same tone as the show.
I do like 70s TV movies but haven't seen this one. Is it at least entertaining?
I had not heard of Speechless but based on the synopsis it looks like something I need to check out.
Did you know Pullman and Paxton made a weird horror movie together named Brain Dead? It is underrated but worth a look.
I know I have a bad attitude, but the last Best Picture winner I actually enjoyed and would watch more than once was A Beautiful Mind. There have been some good movies in the past that won, though. The 70s in particular had a bunch of good ones.
I'm spending the afternoon watching some Paxton films I've not seen. I just watched The Vagrant, and I'm now watching The Dark Backward. They're both weird and over the top in a good way, which is the way I liked him best.
This is so sad, and so hard to believe. He was too young.
Obviously it's not the exact same thing because they're monologues and not conversations but the whole time Andre was talking I was reminded of Spalding Grey in both Swimming to Cambodia and Monster in a Box.
I just watched this for the first time this morning, and I am from Generation X. I was six when the film came out, but I have seen it ripped off and parodied so much that I thought when I finally watched it it would have lost its meaning and so I had put off watching. I was happy to find that it is still meaningful, and made me think a lot about the two worldviews that seemed to be put forth. I agree mostly with Andre, although I didn't like him. I can see myself in him. I haven't had to struggle much in life, and I've therefore had plenty of time to be neurotic and pretentious. It's probably better to be more like the Wally character, but then how would you know that you were like that if not introduced to an Andre? Maybe we're all some of both.
I was sad to think about how hard it was at times to concentrate on the conversation, though I resisted all urges to pick up my phone or my laptop the way I usually do while watching a movie. Everyone's attention span has degraded since 1981, I imagine.
It is awesome! I binged all the episodes Hulu has in one day.
I thought it was ok when it came out, well done but kind of shallow. I watched it again a few months ago and now it made a bit more of an impact on me. I think it's because I'm Lester's age now and can identify with him more. Still not close to being one of my all-time favorites, but I can see why it speaks to people. Also, of the movies in the OP's list of examples A Beautiful Mind is the only one I even like.
Whenever I watched a movie I would check the board for that movie. I didn't post a lot though, because usually everything had already been said/my questions had been answered, so I didn't always remember what I'd posted. Once or twice I re-watched a movie and went back to the board, saw a post I totally agreed with, and then realized it was me who made the post years ago. That was fun. Also, I would sometimes get an email notification for someone answering a post I made years ago. Sometimes they would answer my question from the past, and then sometimes they would feel the need to tell past me what an idiot I was.
For some reason I have never watched Breaking Bad, even though I love Better Call Saul.
I second that request! Other movies: 555, The Incubus, Ghosthouse, and The Video Dead.
I go once a month or less, and it's usually because someone asks me to go and I want to be sociable. I live in a small town, and we have one nine-screen theater that gets either the most mediocre movies and the huge blockbusters (and doggone it, we never fail to get a Tyler Perry comedy or a faith-based propaganda film!!), and I have to travel at least 45 minutes away to see a foreign or indie movie, or any special event such as a re-release of an old movie. It's a pain in the ass. I will usually travel to see the Rifftrax live stuff if I have time, but other than that it would have to be something I just couldn't wait to watch. I don't have cable, I subscribe to about ten streaming channels, and between that and the free channels on the Roku I could never run out of things to watch.
