    Full Metal Jacket question

    Ok, so it's not just me? It's not some Kubrickian wink at something? I wouldn't say it's infantile, just odd, especially compared with the rest (ok, the Papa-ooma-mow-mow surfin' bird scene bugged me, too... 'Who will play the indians?')..

    Full Metal Jacket question

    Every time I watch this, I find the trash-talk scene with Joker and Mother incredibly jarring.. Their back and forth is so unfunny and the reactions of their audience so overblown ("Well, they call me 'the joker'.. LOL!! Oh no he didn't!! LOLOLOL HAhahahaha!!), that I have to ask - is it some...

    The Duelists 1977 on Bluray

    Now all I need is a smart TV. :) Or could hook up a laptop.

    The Duelists 1977 on Bluray

    Man, wouldn't it be great if Criterion got a hold of this? THAT I would pay $60-70 for, not some used DVD or double for a Blu-ray..

    The Duelists 1977 on Bluray

    What the.. Why so expensive on Amazon, et al?? Along with Last of the Mohicans, Rob Roy, and Master and Commander, this is one of my favourite 18/19th century dramas.

    The Witch

    Loved the dialogue, and I could listen to Ralph Ineson read a phonebook.. Nice tension and sense of foreboding!

    Fear the Walking Dead Season 2

    I give up on this show..... :( Like 'Enterprise' they've taken what could have been an awesome premise and slapped us in the face...

    Blu-ray Review Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray Review

    D'oh.. No 3-D?? In principle I'm not a fan, but this movie is perfect for it.. The dunes, the star destroyer so close you can touch it.. :(

    The Knick

    Ha! Didn't think of the radiation with Barrow.. Thought it might be the mistress poisening him now that she has the purse strings! :) Seemed like they were saying goodbye, no thrird season.. :(

    Huh.. I thought it was Jude Law (ala the Grand Budapest Hotel)..

    Fargo - Season 2 (FX)

    Yeah I'm not into the UFO stuff, either.. It's not even a duex ex machina, as it's not solving any problems with the story. And I don't buy that it's a cherry-topper, as far as absurdity goes.. A reference to a reported incident, you say? I could get behind that..

    The Leftovers

    That was awesome.. Everything the Walking Dead 'cliffhanger' wasn't.

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Honestly I'd never even considered it.. Sounds legit enough, though, as time-travel mind-benders go.. :) Then there's the other can of worms where there would be no Cyberdyne defence grid and thus no nuclear appocolypse if they didn't send a terminator back and the company gets a hold of...

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Isn't there? Why go back if there is no John to begin with, which there wouldn't be (no resistance, no nothing) if he didn't go back in the first place? My head hurts.. :( Has anyone here reviewed the red box 2015 bluray, is it worth the upgrade? (mine is 2013 bluray, no Cameron...

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Just rewatched it, couldn't find that "tech stuff" line in the interview and then it dawned on me that that particular line is uttered when Reese and Sarah are in the car park hotwiring another car.. "Are you saying it's from the future?" "One possible future, from your point of view I...

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Wasn't that to do with the reason nothing metal can go through? To which the writer (Cameron) has this great comeback chambered: "I didn't build the f'ing thing!".. Fair enough!! :) Will have to rewatch that scene.. :)

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Cheers! I also don't understand why Arnie's hairstyle changes half-way through.. :) I'm guessing it got singed along with his eyebrows after he runs through the car Reese explodes, and he would have looked too hideous if they went and made it too uneven.. LOL

    So, Robert De Niro...is it just me or...

    My favourite film of his (and J Irons') is The Mission.. Try as he might to piss his legacy away, he will get tons of slack from me..

    Terminator 1984 paradox

    Just rewatched it to get the bad taste of Genesis out of my mouth.. Great, classic movie.. But I still don't get the paradox of Reese going back in time to save his unborn son who would not have been even concieved... if he hadn't gone back in time in the first place!?? Has this been...

    Homeland - Season 5

    That's one of my pet peeves, too.. Red Dawn, Red October, Red Heat (geez.. noticing a pattern, here.. LOL) oy... It's what made 'The Peacemaker' an unexpected treat, and 'The Americans'..

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Pretty sure everyone had the same thought... Maybe she didn't want to end up the same as the guy who's gun it was? How did that Doc know whatshername wasn't a nurse? What was her job, anyways? Trying really hard with this show, but so far I just don't care about a single one of them, or...
