I am an animation nut from the old school. (Who cannot use the quote feature for the life of me)

I think one of the first movies or animated movies I ever saw was this one

Fantastic planet 1973 I was six when my mom brought me. You can imagine the way the rest of my life went.

Fantastically!

alien the original has fully stood the test of time for me.

I saw alien when it came out. I convinced my grandmother to take me and my brother. The poster helped. Vague but r rated. I was in 5th grade going into sixth. My friend had seen it but no spoilers from him. He just said beyond everything else. I needed to see it.

Then grandma took us me and my brother. He was in like 1st grade awesome.

The movie was like no other instantly, then that thing in the guy's face. The speed began.

When the chest burster scene occured it was cinema magic.

My grandma said Michael why did you take me to this?

My brother had his eyes covered.

I watched with my fingers gripping the chair. Until the end. And the lights came on.

That is movie magic. I don't think it will happen again. But who knows.

For me the creature was the epitome of universal monsters. As a young child the others did not even remotely interest me. The suit is still amazing. What a creature.

That creature, just look at his moves.

At a deadly pace it came from outer space.

Children of men. Fewer movies have been made that good recently. You are in for a great movie. I envy you.

I think I'll pop it in today later and watch it too. Children of men should not be missed.

House of wax is awesome, the original.

Gosh I hope this Logan's run doesn't suck.

I mean the original is so good, why bother even remaking it. That's my opinion.

i remember being so excited as a child that the movie kept going.

So epic.

This guy.

Really they should try to make the new one hokey. But good.

Like with Simon peg as the friend. Who comes after him. It could be good.

Sorry about the image? The high evolutionary. Why I'm not sure.

Sorry the reason I placed the high evolutionary was that box from Logan's run was like a poor mans high evolutionary. My mind is all over the place.

I think snl is pretty damn good right now. I have been watching since the 70s.

There is no apples to oranges here. But snl. Now is pretty good. For exactly what it is. I think they have a great thing right now. Looking forward to next season.

Plus these crazy ass times.

I have never been on snl, has anyone else?

I'm going to catch the mummy at a theatre near me this week, Why not.

I need amusement, and they have a kiss in the lobby.

I thought children of men was stunning when I saw it several years ago. It just struck me correctly.

Apparently not just me it was nominated for 75 awards and won more than 40. Including oscars.

Then the director made gravity which I like but not as much. Im not sure what's next but I will watch.

I felt like children of men was hard to watch. At times. Not a happy place to be that future...

Ten year old spoiler alert - I like that.

Valerian 3 d is on the radar.

Ok so last night. I had to watch the notebook instead of the new game of thrones. With my girlfriend.

I had never seen the notebook. I wanted to see the game of thrones.

(I'm going to watch that now, this morning.)

Note book was an epic love story eclipsed only by my own love stories.

right now, as we speak. My epic love story is unfolding.

As for the notebook, it was good. I kept thinking about how I will film what I write In my love story. Later.

I just thought I would share. I got to watch notebook instead of game of thrones. I made the best of it.

Gif made me think of gojira the band which is playing somewhere small nearby in early August. Gojira would be cool.

What great song. Ocean planet gojira

Movies. They no longer hold the appeal they once did. After my stroke and 3 brain surgeries. My entertainment tastes have changed.

I can't watch a bunch of movies like I once did. I don't even want to. Cycles.

Anyways the movie club. Maybe I can come back, someday. I hope.

I saw deadly spawn when it came out and loved it.

These too.

So many great superman comics but far fewer good movies.

You should read this if you haven't.

If you are a horror fan I give this 9 pop corns. It may be a ten to me. I can't say anything more about the plot period.

This is not campy horror.

My fiancée Veronika can’t really enjoy any of my favorite horror movies.

She would feel the same about dune I’m sure.

Like phantasm. Or re animator.

She didn’t like them I love them.

Side note, I had the fortune of seeing queen live on the hammer to fall tour.

It was very good, billy squire opened up on his biggest album.

Good times.

The first cube, just turn that on now. You will like it I’m sure.

I did not enjoy "us". I did enjoy "get out".

There was something about it. There was an early point where the whole thing went south for me.

It was pretty and ambitious. But I would have made it more of a real bloodbath, myself...

Me too. Us started great IMO but became lost to me very quickly.

I just did not like the direction they took. I would have made the doppelgängers more evil. In action on the screen…

Those others would have annihilated the family. IMO. You can have my blu ray.

I am excited about candy man.

I really enjoyed the film and I saw it at the theater, which was the way to go.

But it really seems like they ended the franchise as we know it. I don’t mind change but I this seems more like finality. Or inevitable finality. I guess reboot is next? Reframing the whole thing?

I would remake live and let die if I could.

Just for fun.

Digression over.

Agree. Right down to perhaps the most memorable theme. IMO.

Slightly off topic about going to the actual theater…

So I went with some friends to see Jurassic park dominion recently.
I have never experienced such a loud crowd. Kids not told to be quiet. Part of a 25-30 person family party.

I was friendly to the manager, but I told him, I’ll need a refund or something. 4 passes then given.

It was pretty bad to the point I am not going back to any theater for a very long time. I will use the passes, but I’m buying a new sound bar and then staying home for about a year.

Rant almost over.
It’s too bad, but I had never heard a more rude crowd. Never want to again.

I’m 54 and been going to theaters since I was five. I think my very first film was 2001 a space odyssey at five years old. I was somehow able to be quiet. Shake the magic eight ball and try again later…

Good stuff. I have learned that I personally have many things in common with Chris gore. And I like that.

One interesting thing is seeing 2001 a space oddity at five years old in the theater.
As well as Star Wars and some others.

I didn’t understand what I was watching at the time, but I have since realized this was a significant event in my life. Cinema itself had become significant. And then repeated itself.

So important film. I digress. Take care all.

Tomorrow night I’m seeing barberian.

I’ve started giving away certain dvd titles as gifts as I replace them with blu ray.

Recently, trick r treat and zombi.

I felt “special when lit” had this vibe too.

It is my favorite pinball movie.

I would enjoy my time added back into to my life that I used to watch this propaganda. for at least two reasons.
But I guess I’m glad I watched it so I can adequately discuss it.

I am planning on watching that entire series on my new apartment complex private theater.
Very nice.
