JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Dave and I made it through Roma. What a dull slow film that is essentially a two hour soap belonging on telemundo. Yes its exquisitely well shot in b&w. This is a girls gets knocked up out of wedlock guy doesn't care soap material drama. The characters are not especially compelling. There is a reason no one makes movies about this kind of character. No one really wants to know her. SS is correct this is not Oscar material. I am not sure its emmy material. Its a tv movie. Hardly cinematic. It might work better as a two hour limited tv show. Another case of lemmings admiring the Emperor's new clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone else think one of the most badass scenes in Star Trek history is the ending of the TNG game episode where Data walks in with a strobe light and flashes everyone?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 For My dear pal Alex I watched the final episode of season 5 and beginning episode of season 6 from Criminal Minds. The two episodes featured Tim Curry in his 2nd most monstrous role. He plays serial killer/spree killer/rapist Billy Flynn who travels to us killing victims and leaving one alive but scarred. Tim Curry is simply pure evil, totally beyond redemption (but so was Darth Vader). SADLY it was among his final filmed role. Alex can chastise me over the show which he deems terrible though I wonder how he could possibly know. I suspect I have seen more Breaking Bad (tv's greatest show ever except maybe the Wire) than he has CM. 😉😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 But there's so much else that's great in that episode, like Homer having to wear a pink shirt to work, Burns' memorable line "judging from his outlandish attire, he must be some kind of free thinking anarchist!", Bart and Marge's "poor house/crazy house" exchange, the cuckoo nest references, the tempting pink donut, etc. But only now they're scrambling to cover their arses after the ep's been out for almost 30 years?

A24 4,326 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think you're the only who complained about the sand. The poster's photo is processed, so it looks more like a stylized poster or a cover and less like a snapshot, and that's why you have a problem with it. Many JWFaners have a problem with anything that doesn't look natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @bollemanneke, if you just start calling it NILES, and concentrate on him, and Marty Crane, you'll enjoy it a lot more. I've taken to watching CHEERS, and EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. The latter should be called EVERYBODY LOVES PETER BOYLE, because he steals every single scene that he's in! I'm also reacquainting myself with MIRANDA. Is it me, or is Miranda Hart sexy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first rewatch marathon to include the new seasons. Mum just said she could imagine Bette Davis as Scully and Ronald Reagan as Mulder. That just blew my mind...
