Great cast. And good news about Thomas Newman returning to score.

Mr. Brown got a reaction from Sharkissimo in What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Newer Films)
THE TERMINAL (2004)
Most people regard this as a Spielberg fluff film. If you take out the Diego Luna/Zoe Saldana love story, which is totally ridiculous and underdeveloped, then this film is brilliant, in my opinion. There's plenty of great humor (Tom Hanks' mispronounciation of words in a thick European accent) and I think the drama between Viktor and Amelia is romantic and incredibly realistic. The best aspect of the film is the main character NOT getting the girl, especially with two A-list actors in these roles. It worked well, and isn't something you'd expect to find in a feel-good Spielberg film. I also think the film says a lot about US immigration policy and how we treat people from other countries, which makes it relevant today, more than when it was produced (2-3 years after 9/11). Furthermore, there is the great cinematography by Kaminski and a terrific score by John Williams.
This is one of my top Spielberg films, ranking right below CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, DUEL and JAWS.

Aw, shit...
I'm glad you've been discussing it, though. This is one of the finest quotes I've read in a long time.

Mr. Brown got a reaction from Sharkissimo in Would you see a 75-year-old movie on IMAX 3D?
After looking at a few of your past posts, I strongly disagree.

Mr. Brown got a reaction from Makeshift Python in Would you see a 75-year-old movie on IMAX 3D?
Nah. But I'd certainly see DEBBIE DOES DALLAS in IMAX 3D.

Mr. Brown got a reaction from Gnome in Plaid in Video games can never be art
I'm split. A lot of hard work goes into creating the visuals for modern games. The illustrators and animators are the artists in the video game world.
On the other hand, when neckbeards refer to them as art, I can't help but to think that they're just trying to justify the fact that they're wasting their fucking lives away playing the things.
Sensible Person: "Hey, neckbeard, why don't you go to a fucking museum or a concert hall, instead of wasting your time shooting people in a video game?"
Neckbeard: "VIDEO GAMES ARE ART!"

Mr. Brown reacted to Demondm810 in Williams conducting new arrangement of "Star Spangled Banner" in Washington on July 4
My brother in law was in the orchestra for this. He knows my obsession and sent me a couple pics. They're just cell phone, sorry about quality.
