We've said that before about Terminator and Die Hard (re-)iterations.Another pointless sequel for a great 80s movie?
We kinda said something of the sort as well.tjs282 also said:OTOH, if it stars Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton and Jenna Ortega, it might still be worth checking out...
Yep. They are excellent shorts and I think Sugar won an oscar. I read all these stories when I was young, over and over.The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More.
Stunningly stylish, original, beautiful set design and an absolute masterclass in story telling. Ralph Fiennes is terrific. 9/10.
Speaking of Mr Ripley... I thought the movie with Matt Damon and Jude Law was quite good.Aka "The Untalented Mr. Ripley".
I have watched the first 10 minutes of the Malkovich one. Imo it was considerably worse than Damon'sSpeaking of Mr Ripley... I thought the movie with Matt Damon and Jude Law was quite good.
I'd like to see the one starring John Malkovitch, but I can't find it anywhere.
Has anybody here seen it?
Ted Neeley was Jesus. I saw him in a stage version of the show in DC, granted he was much much older but still in good shape. The guy playing Judas was awesome, and my favorite parts were the bits with the Jewish guys.Jesus Christ Superstar. It had its moments. Didn't care for the guy playing Jesus. He looked like he wanted to sell me weed at the beach.

I liked it, too. Good performances, and I like Sam Esmail's style. I recommend the first season of Mr. Robot (2015), if you haven't seen that. Esmail and Roberts also worked together on Homecoming, although I haven't seen that one, but I think I heard him say on a podcast that the two of them are looking at doing more projects together, so I guess they've hit it off.Leave the World Behind. Really well done. Best watch since Don't Look Up. End made me lol
Spoiler :I realized pretty early on that it was going to be more of a social commentary movie than a disaster one but unlike so many others it pulled it off pretty well.
I started Mr Robot but kinda fell out of it halfway thru 1st season I think.I liked it, too. Good performances, and I like Sam Esmail's style.

On Leave the World Behind:Spoiler :It looks like this could almost be an accidental prelude to Alex Garland's Civil War. I also recently watched Bushwick (2017), with Brittany Snow and Dave Bautista. It's just okay, I can't give it a strong recommendation, but the story in that movie could be taking place across the water when Amanda and Ruth are staring at New York at the end of Leave. Examples of a kind of 'concurrent evolution' that happens in Hollywood from time to time, where different projects separately develop similar ideas.
Robert De Niro: You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?
Me: Wait, is he quoting that line, or is THIS the line?
Friend: (sigh) You're watching one of the most quoted scenes in movie history.
