  1. Good god is Black Narcissus beautiful. Those Powell And Pressburger dudes knew what they were doing.
  2. Watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and whattaya know, it rules pretty hard. My only qualm is that there were not more Newman bicycle shenanigans.
  3. Serpico is good. Doesn't quite soar like Lumet's best but Al Pacino wears a lot of different hats.
  4. Someone tell me if we had a thread for this already, but I can't find one anywhere. Natalie Portman as Celeste Raffey Cassidy as Young Celeste & Albertine Jude Law as The Manager Stacy Martin as Eleanor, Celeste’s older sister Jennifer Ehle as Josie, the Publicist Willem Dafoe as The Narrator[2] Maria Dizzia as Ms. Dwyer Christopher Abbott Meg Gibson as Celeste's Mother Daniel London as Father Cliff Micheal Richardson as The Musician Matt Servitto as Celeste's Father Leslie Silva as The Stylist
  5. Watched the Lumet Murder on the Orient Express. Weird Finney performance but fun. Good stuff overall, especially the scene where Poirot puts it all together.
  6. You're being very smug about this but you really should go have a look at what the drops usually are for the post-Labor Day weekend. A 35% drop would be a terrific hold for that frame.
  7. This really explains a lot of what is wrong with America.
  8. Looking through those years, this is the first time three movies from the same studio have made the top ten in the same year. Little bit scary, but what can you do. Real impressive numbers regardless.
  9. Just had a look and 2015 had three. There's been several years with two as well (2017 with BATB and TLJ, 2016 with RO and FD, 2012 with TA and TDKR etc etc). Kinda uncanny how similar it is to 2015 actually, with two new entries into the top five and another slotting in at #9
  10. The MPDA of NZ has not uploaded any reports since the first week of August, and the BOM page for NZ has also not updated since then. Maybe Numero has an exclusivity thing with them or maybe they just got annoyed at me peeping on their data. Still, I miss my numbers.
  11. I just don't think anything he said can be equated to him saying that Armstrong wasn't a hero. He's just saying that Armstrong didn't consider himself as a hero, which seems pretty consistent with what I've heard of the guy. As for the question, from what I can tell it wasn't directly about the flag itself. The original Telegraph article says he was asked "if the film was a deliberately un-American take on the moon landing," which explains why he didn't just talk about the flag. I dunno, his answer seemed perfectly fine and coherent to me.
  12. Buzz Aldrin isn't Neil Armstrong. I read this as more of an observation on how humble Armstrong was, but whatever. YMMV I suppose. I don't put much stock in the Yeager comment since the tweet it's replying to is phrased in such a misconstrued way. I guarantee that this guy hasn't even seen the movie yet there he is spouting stuff like that which, by all accounts of the actual movie, isn't even true.
  13. I cannot understand how one could see this dumbass controversy unfold and then think that Gosling is the one to be annoyed at.
