I cancelled Time Warner about 4 weeks ago and haven't missed it. My bill was up to 170 a month. I told them I was cancelling and they offered me the same package for 150. I just laughed at that. Switched over to WOW for Internet only and added HULU plus.

Downloaded KODI onto the laptop for live sports and I'm all set for football season.


as for this thread.

Straight Outta Compton...........really really good movie. Although I think there was some revisionist history in the end with E/Dre/Cube. I don't think the reconciliation was quite like they made it out to be. If I recall, E was still dropping insult raps on the other two shortly before he died. But still a great movie. Soundtrack was awesome


Southpaw.........Think I over hyped it in my own mind. Thought it was going to be awesome, but left me a little "meh" in the end.



San Andres...........it was what I thought it would be. Although the end rescue scene was just to much.




still think Mad Max was the best movie I saw of the "Summer Blockbusters."

Just watched 'Child 44'.

Been waiting to see this movie since someone posted the trailers in the 'Coming Soon' thread...

Awesome movie.

I was actually a little disappointed by it, given the cast was 3 of my favorites. It wasn't bad, but a bit disjointed for my taste, and kinneman looked like he didn't want to be there to me.

Pod.

It only had a few actors. One was a guy that was impossible to give a damn about. He had a bad mustache and reminded me of the cop from Scream. Another was a Zooey Deschanel sorta lady that was annoying, and then there was an over the top PTSD vet.

Anyway, crazy vet says he locked a monster in his lake house basement. The other two, his siblings, needlessly bicker and scream at each other for an hour until 20 minutes of action and a pointless ending.

Yeah, it was okay.

I am now watching The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.

It is a beautiful movie and one of my all-time favorites. A garish but successful mobster buys a high end restaurant, and his wife has an affair. Otherwise it is mostly about the cinematography and weird discussions of food and sex.

I had to order my copy from Australia a few years ago because it wasn't released here. . . I assume it is available somewhere now but given it isn't exactly on anyone's watch list and isn't from the USA, I really doubt torrenting it would be a problem. Not that I would ever condone such a thing ever.

And for you more banal people out there, a young Helen Miren is currently giving a guy a blowjob on my screen. If that doesn't sell it for you. . .

Okay, so I am watching The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover and am remembering why I liked it so much.

First, I forgot how much nudity there was in the movie. I believe it was originally rated X and then unrated coming to the USA, and for VHS it had a half hour chopped out of it.

I should not have said cinematography above but rather set design and direction. If you watch this movie, which I encourage whether you have seen it before or not, it is all about symbolism. The food, the colors, the passage of the digestive track, eating death. It can alternately be seen as Dante's inferno or at least religious symbolism (popular when I saw it in the 90s among my fellow creative writing friends at the time) or, and I never got this really, but a critique on Thatcher.

Helen Miren is absolutely brilliant, as is Michael Gambon (Dumbledore). She is patient, perfect, and passionate with silence. Gambon is obscene, and the movie definitely has some scenes that in another movie would seem shocking, but he is inherently pathetic at the same time.

Anyway. That is my recommendation for the week. It is slightly better than Zombeavers.

Edit: more random stuff as I watch this movie, without spoiling it: watch for the painting in the background of the restaurant, and the costume design. Notice the incredibly meta scene about main characters speaking in movies. Hmm. . . the French Revolution is key to the symbolism as well, obviously. This is made clear late in the movie and you can put together the pieces. Notice when the colors don't change. And how the music does.

Anyway, obviously I am having fun with this one. I just checked briefly, and it appears to be unavailable in the States. I have a server if anyone wants to DL it.

OK, I consider the Beach Boys the best American rock and roll group of all times so I wanted to see this one. If I wasn't a Beach Boys fan I wouldn't have liked it that much. However, it was just a decent movie and worth the $1.25 admission. Some people might rate it higher; however, I have a problem that I'm not good with flashbacks and character recognition. This movie had continuous flashbacks and had 4 or 5 different actors playing Brian Wilson (i.e. various times in his life) including actual footage of Brian Wilson. Anyway the move is supposed to be fairly accurate and I didn't realize Brian Wilson was that frickin crazy.

Watched it on STARZ. I'm guessing that it is probably one of the most accurate (i. e. depicting what the soldiers actually endured as well as the carnage) WWII movies ever made. You really want to see the unedited version, if they ever edit it for TV the movie will probably be "gutted" which will lose the story's impact.
