Title: What are you about to watch?
Post by: Charlie on December 15, 2012, 06:45:54 PM
I love used movie stores...  Picked up some premium blu-ray and a 6 DVD Jimmy Stewart set...  I saw the Rare Breed a few nights ago on cable and am crushing on Maureen O'Hara; even at 46 she was still stunning...  And who knew there was a girl in Forbidden Planet?  Can't wait to see that one!  I've also held out long enough on Marilyn films; ever since I tried Some Like it Hot I have just been passing them by...

The Hobbit is the only movie I have yet to see.  We've seen about 3 movies a week for the past 2 months, and The Hobbit is the last one.  For some reasons, though, I am not dying to see it.  It doesn't appeal to me the way the LotR trilogy did.  So I might end up missing it.

Hoping to see THE TERMINATOR tonight at the DRIVE IN....
One problem.
I don't drive.
And seems so far nobody is too excited like I am to take me.
I never miss driving, until today.
Anyway still early, pray to Arnie someone will realise how fun drive ins are, otherwise I might ride my skateboard and take a transistor radio.

Ari, why don't you drive?   :-\




I've never wanted to drive, when my wife was oregant I gave in, and did for a few years, when I moved to Sydney I didn't need and couldn't afford a car, public transport I'd great, and parking is either impossible or expensive. So I didn't renew my licence for 15 or so years. Now I have to do the whole exam stuff again and I usually don't miss driving. I hate it, don't like cars in general. Plus I'm still in a Sydney mindset, where you might walk if it's 30 minutes etc, in the country people drive if it's around the corner, and a ten minute walk that's jot in the beach or in the bush is unheard of.

I might have to though to get a job, one guy a few weeks ago wouldn't hire me because I don't drive. But it's stupid because the work is less than ten minutes walk from my house. He couldn't understand I would just walk and thinks I would be relying on lifts from people. Strange mindset that I am having my own private rebellion against.

Never went to a drive in. It sounds like fun though. ;)

They are great, we went often as a kid, my parents would put us kids under blankets and pretend we were under four years old to get in free. Always a double feature, with the kids playing on slides and swings in the break or during a boring movie. We had three here when I was a kid,plus a cinema and the population was about 13,000 so that's how popular they were.

For the year when I was 9,  we went almost every saturday night to a movie. The majority was at the drive inn.

Great times they were!

I always wondered if you can actually hear anything in a drive in, though i suppose it is all about the outdoor experience, it must be fun.

When I was a child we used to go to the church's square in the summer. All outdoors and the most uncomfortable stools i can recall. Our priest had and old projector and an old white blanket and really weird films,  i swear i watched there 'The blood splattered bride'' and 'Rintintin'. And all sort of weird religious films. All good fun till the day the blanket caught fire. Now that was fun.

Usually there are speakers you attach to your window, or you tune your car radio into the drive ins frequency, sound isn't a problem at all.

Like many of us old-timers on this board, I just about grew up in a drive-in.
There are still some around here in central NY, but I imagine they are a far cry from the experience of yesteryear.

I am looking forward to this. 
I have just emailed the releasing company to find out when and where it will be seen.

Very effective trailer!  I just watched it in October and I want to see it again now :)

Kino did a blu-ray restoration and it apparently looks like mush... the boosted everything so much that the grain is gone and it looks like badly compressed satellite HD.  Luckily they included an un-doctored scan of the neg as well... warts, grain and all.  That's the version I want to see!

My father and I watched an Aussie mockumentary about a ghost that haunted a family home. It was very well made, sadly I had read about it and knew it was fake, but it fooled my father all the way throug, until the end credits, when the actors names came up, and he shouted out WHAT THE FUCK!

Really? I think The Sixth Sense was really the only successful one (as long as you didn't know the twist) and Unbreakable was an interesting take on the superhero. Signs was mediocre but has a great soundtrack.

I think I liked The Sixth Sense better the second time when I did know it, because I was watching to see how much he "cheated" to trick you, and I didn't think he cheated at all!

Actually, that's a good point, Bruce. I did the same. :)
From what I recall I agree. He didn't cheat that much, but he did make good use of cuts / transitions (eg, Bruce and Toni in the living room).

She left me for one of my friends a few days later, so I guess my obvious "joy" of the movie didn't impress her. Then I met a woman years later and married her.. And guess what her favourite movie was. Gee I have all the luck.

Unfortunately not Matt, which is crazy as surely they would make more money doing so.

It's a disc that would make me buy another player for it. When I say disc, it's a 3 disc set, and if your an anorak about it like me, there's plenty of extras, two versions of the film, and the last 4 Japanese reels where they took the extra footage from for the recent restoration. They only found the last few reels from the Jap version, just incase your wondering...  but anything extra is a bonus this many years on.

Sometimes, maybe once a year if I can't sleep but my eyes are tired I listen to audio commentary for a film I know very well, but really I just think is all shit.

Especially the wanky making of featurettes for newer films, blarrgghhh

Lotsa extras, y'know...

Oooo... it's on blu ray?  Is it region free?

For anyone who is interested, Oppo blu-ray players are some of the best on the market with customer service that is second to none.   Mine started having some issues a few months back where it would not eject correctly.  I sent it in for service, and they had it back to me fixed and cleaned with upgraded firmware free of charge to include return shipping w/in 3 days of me sending it!  

Anyway, to get to the actual point, there is a component you can get and easily install (even for the technically inept) that will make them zone free or zone specific for blu-ray or DVD with a couple of buttons on the remote.  There are other zone free blu players out there, but their reliability can be suspect.

Interesting. I am just the opo! I bought the Blu Ray Criterion Edition, the John Ford's Stagecoach  just to be able to enjoy the extras. Ah, that wonderful BBC interview with John Ford in his ever so weird mood. John Ford interview? You kidding? Boy did i enjoy watching that...I bought the DVD version too just  to make sure I was able to watch it on my player.



Long live John Ford....

Gravity was excellent.  The script was soso, and to be honest, I kept imagining a better actress in the Bullock role (who does nothing for me), maybe a Cate Blanchett, but the movie was so well done and intense that that didn't really matter.  Big thumbs up, see it in 3D on the biggest screen you can find!

3- It is a ONE letter title (I thought it started with L?)

4- It is not Dallas, or The Detective or Lady Killer

5- I think it is about a killing/ detective story but not sure.. eyeroll

My turn to ask for a movie I watched when I was a kid... Tried to find it desperately using Google but failed

My bro used to watch it and only have few images in my mind making it difficult to find.

The story is about a band of guys who hijacked a plane in order to broadcast an illegal shortwave rock station.  From the 70s/early 80s I guess ??

Any idea

Yeah, I know what you mean.  The film in this case is a classic, and I agree that the premiere is pretty darn good.  The shots in Detroit at the beginning are neat, and overall it's a cool, slight alteration from the film.  It looks like the story is going to be cool to see, as it progresses.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.  8)

Good luck, mate!

just booked ticket to this (on the 31st in Melbourne). I don't have high hopes, but screw it, I will give it a go, and while I am there will be delivering poster orders to melbourne customers (saves them postage- I get to meet face to face and its just more fun).



Best post here for ages, this is proper selling, good on you Ari.

She is 5, will be 6 in January.  I knew the movie was pretty mild as for the scary stuff, but when she is a teenager I will do my best to terrify her!!! Haha but for now It is all the stuff that won't keep her up at night. Last week I showed her Star Wars episode IV, we started there because IMHO it is just good parenting to let her see the films in theatrical order.

You are wise beyond your years.
She is in for thrills and chills galore.
I did much the same with my three kids and it never fails when I decide to sell posters, they all rush in to stake their claims to films that we shared together.

Ted
Such a great experience raising children is, thank you for sharing your stories. I agree, there are so many great films for her eyes to see.
I have yet to sell any posters, however my oldest thought it was her duty to liberate my Neverending Story. It now hangs in her dorm room above the head of her bed. Guess I need another copy.....  Doh.gif

Jeff
Speaking of Kodak moments, I have taken time to document my youngest daughters life. A few years ago I setup an email account for her. Now as time goes by I send her messages, and pictures documenting her life. Tibits of knowledge, moments like starting school and so on. When she turns 18 I will give her the login information. I have not told anybody else on this planet about this, so ssshhhhh!!!!!

Rosa
Is your birthday in January? Capricorn perhaps?

My sister and brother in law did the same thing with their daughter, who turned 10 last May. It has been set up for a number of years, now, too. Anyone in the family can send her emails to that address--grandparents, etc and at some time in the future (i dont know if they will wait until she is 18 or maybe younger), they will give her the access to the account.

It's a GREAT idea, for sure, Chris. Your daughter will love to read those time capsule moments.  clap clap

Just decided to put on the 89th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC with Matt Lauer and Al Roker. (it's also being broadcast on CBS).

It been a traditional watch for me, since I was a kid.  ;D

The Rockettes are about to perform. It was just said they have appeared in the parade since 1957.

Planet Earth 2 is excellent.  CJ138, your friend was in Antarctica, eh? That's awesome. Is he working on anything now?  A college professor here, who is a high level organic chemist, and in the Scuba Club has been there several times, searching for unknown compounds for use in pharmaceuticals, etc.  Sounds like a heckuva place to visit.
