banshees of inisherrin(but only according to Booze)

I liked Banshees but I would have never gone to the theater to see that.

If I had I would have asked for my money back halfway through.

Same here. I streamed it and I was still mad I wasted that much time thinking something interesting would eventually happen.

I liked the first one a lot. I don’t think it works in the form of a sequel.

Loved his movies back in the day, but now I hope all the movies of Mr. "Screw Your Freedom" fail miserably.

Alyssa Milano better get capped in the first five minutes.

I know I'm the last one to see this, but for a while I've kind of wanted to watch Patton but couldn't find it for free anywhere. Then it popped up as a suggestion on Youtube, probably because it was the Fourth of July.

My God, what a great movie. I didn't actually realize it was as old as it was. That old school movie feel from that era can be boring, or it can be amazing if done right. This was totally right. I knew about the iconic intro, but had no idea what to expect after that. Probably one of my favorite movies ever.

Anyone else not seen it yet? Probably not.

You haven't? Dude, you have to see it. It's so good.

I watched it years ago on TCM. Fantastic flick. George C. Scott gives a master class in acting between this and Dr. Strangelove.

It’s one of those movies I’ve always meant to see, but never seem to get around to it. Probably because like you said, it’s just not floating around for easy access.

Check it out on Youtube, free with ads. There's another version uploaded on there with no ads, but it doesn't have captions so when the Germans are talking, you have no idea what they're saying.

Anyway, you of all people should see it. I think it's right in your wheelhouse.

Patton won 7 Academy Awards.

For me, if a movie was released at or after Bonnie and Clyde (1967), won multiple major awards, and was focused on an earlier time (the plot of the movie is set at least 10 years earlier than its release date), there a very decent chance the movie will stand up well. If the director successfully produced a historically accurate picture of a prior time (say, the 1950's), it doesn't matter as much when the director's movie was released (in the 1970's or 2000's, etc.). The movie usually won't seem dated or corny.

Edit: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is another example of this. The movie was made in the mid-70's, won multiple major awards, and was set in the early 60's.

Are you saying that John Wayne westerns are corny and not realistic?

Howdy, partner!

 

[bbgun]

You haven't?

Patton would slap him for that.

Makes you wonder why Hollywood and the Left are trying so hard to discredit the movie and/or ignore it.

I mean it sort of feeds the theories when they try to destroy an anti sex trafficking film...
