One of all time faves. Great taste Daniel. The knife throwing scene always makes me laugh.

 

Hey Daniel, I’m curious, which Spike Lee joint is your favorite? Toss up between Do the Right Thing or Inside Man for me.

 

"I'll be back"

Terminator - I'll be back 1080p (HD)

 

Hi brother,

I thought "Do the Right Thing" was a fantastic film, honestly I will have to watch "Inside Man again". "Do The Right Thing", could hold its own as a play which I find very impressive. Danny Aiello and all the characters were authentic, relatable and empathetic.

Spike is an intellectual and in some ways I always felt he missed the mark, being to pedantic or forced. "She's Got To Have It ", I was also fond of.

I think Tarantino did more for African American history or Black cinema with Jacky Brown, Django Unchained, and having Samuel Jackson kill it in so many films. Not that it is a competition or anything, just some thoughts.

Eddie Murphy made a real gem a couple years back, "Dolomite Is My Name", have you seen it?

Man, I used to love taking my son, and family, to films before tinnitus and hyperacusis. Waaahh, whine, I miss the big screen. Still enjoy my films so it's cool. I have yet to see the last James Bond film and bought the DVD a few days ago but my cheap piece of shite player won't play authentic discs etc.

I will watch new "Love, Death and Robots" tonight which is on Netflix and has lots of cool short films, have you seen it?

I look forward to your feedback, recommendations or discussions about any Genre or country's films. Slowly slowly.

Take care @ZFire.

 

Dolomite Is My Name is seriously one of the greatest biopics I’ve ever seen if not the best and that’s largely due to Eddie Murphy’s performance (Wesley Snipes was also great). The magnetism, intensity, and heart that Murphy brings to the role is mesmerizing. I can’t see anyone else playing Rudy Ray Moore and he still has incredible acting chops. But seriously, there’s no biopic I’ve seen that’s even half as fun and entertaining as Dolomite and I really mean that.

Yeah, I miss going to the theaters as well. I remember I had a period where I would go to the movies at least once a week, many times by myself. One of my last memorable cinema experience was seeing Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight in 70mm with my siblings at the Ziegfeld theater (NYC). The roadshow style presentation was an incredible site to behold. We were giving a playbill for the film prior to seating. Then the overture comes on with a haunting melody and that immediately set the mood. As a suspenseful moment in the film, we then get interrupted with a 15 minute intermission that really helped for the pacing. The break is placed so perfectly between two very different halves of the film and everyone in attendance were all enjoying themselves. It was the closest thing to capturing the late 50/60s/early 70s moviegoer experience IMO. Some damn good cinema.

I haven’t heard about Love, Death and Robots, but I’m learning that David Fincher was involved in the creative process and I do like many of his works. I’ll check it out.

 

@ZFire, you are so lucky to have seen the Hateful Eight in the theater. What an awesome film. I watched it alone on an average TV and was blown away, on the big screen it must have been amazing. A masterpiece for sure.

The last film I saw in the theater was Rogue One, the Star Wars spin off. I loved it and it was definitely one of my favorites from the franchise, perhaps my favorite because all of the heroes died. Forest Whitaker was also in it, which reminds me of an awesome movie - "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai", have you seen it? It is awesome. By Jim Jarmusch.

When I was a kid in the 70s, my gran used to take me to a classic theater that was in a grand building in Boston. It was gorgeous, made of stone, velvet curtains and ornate plaster work, The Tremont Theater. They had cartoons before the features. I ended up seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show there when I was a young teen at midnight. It was a heady seen and over my head but a cool experience. Eventually the theater closed and it was turned into condos and a restaurant on the ground floor ;[ I ended up bussing tables there a few years later, weird.

Near my mom's house is still a cool theater that the community saved. It was built in the art deco style and I've seen a bunch of classics there. It is still going, The Coolidge Corner Theater. They have art or Indy films and have directors, actors, and writers come to give lectures or take questions.

I'll leave you with a clip from a beautiful film. This film blew me away. When I saw it I knew nothing about it and saw it alone. Here's a wee clip:

Pretty much the entirety of Dazed and Confused is quotable for me. Here are two:

"You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else."

"Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man."
