  1. That actually really works as a send off to T’Challa and Boseman, even if not originally intended as one. I felt an odd sense of closure watching that. 🥺
  2. Normally I’m not the one to break up a party, but I think we might’ve exhausted this topic for a while. @Lokis Legion @lorddemaxus And also if people are interested in watching more movies, I show them twice a week! Check my signature for our lineup for the next month. And click the link for more details. We’re good group and it’s a fun time!!
  3. This reminds me of that YouTube video I watch from some magazine where they put Star Wars of the greatest Western of all time, and it felt designed specifically to illicit pearl clutching and create more clickbait. Or that person had a terrible terrible taste
  4. Some at Marvel got The Memo TM cause @MarvelStudios is retweeting reactions. Which they rarely do.
  5. Grace might be a flake, but she knows exactly what she’s doing. You boys never shut up about her. 😘
  6. I won't front, the lack of a really compelling adult female character was huge miss for me. Omega is interesting, but still very much a child.
  7. CRIME FILMS Before we took a detour through the American West, we originally planned to schedule "Crime Films Cap Has Never Seen" with Heat being our 100th film. Everyone generously pushed things back for the Western List, so now we're back on schedule with our criminally good line up. Or so I've heard. 😘 WEDNESDAY AUGUST 18 Perhaps best known for the Crying Wesley Snipes.gif, New Jack City follows "a crime lord [as he] ascends to power and becomes a megalomaniacal while a maverick police detective vows to stop him" (IMDb). Starring Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Allen Payne, Chris Rock, and Judd Nelson. SATURDAY AUGUST 21 "During the era of Prohibition in the United States, Federal Agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Coster) sets out to stop ruthless Chicago gangster Al Capone (Robert DeNiro) and, because of rampant corruption, assembles a small, hand-picked team to help him" (IMDb). I know three things about this movie: (1) Brian De Palma ripped off the Battleship Potemkin Stairs Scene for a scene, (2) Sean Connery won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role, and (3) I just watched the Bodyguard, and god I hope Kevin Costner doesn't have a love interest in this. WEDNESDAY AUGUST 25 "An FBI Agent (Keanu Reeves) goes undercover to catch a gang of surfers who may be bank robbers (Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, James LeGros)" (IMDb). I am really ashamed I have never seen this Kathryn Bigelow film. I got my Slash Color Glasses READY!! SATURDAY AUGUST 28 "A group of professional bank robbers start to feel the heat from police when they unknowingly leave a clue at their latest heist" (IMDb). Okay. I am already preparing myself for this THREE HOUR tour de force that combined De Niro and Pacino together for "the first time" (Since they didn't really have any scenes together in Godfather Part II). Programming Note: Due to its length, we might start this at 12PM or 1PM EST, depending on what the group wants on that week. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1 "A tough-as-nailes cop (Chow Yun-fat) teams up with an undercover agent (Tony Leung) to shut down a sinister mobster and his crew" (IMDb). Let's get HYPED for DILF Leung in Shang Chi by watching one of John Woo's best action flicks. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4 OFF! Go to Chicago and hang out with everyone at the Music Box!!! WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8 "A fearless Secret Service agent (William Peterson, aka Gil from CSI) will stop at nothing to bring down the counterfeiter who killed his partner" (IMDb). I know nothing about movie expect that DAFOE is in it. (echos until fades: DAFOE Dafoe dafoe) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11 "A psychopathic criminal (James Cagney) with a mother complex makes a daring break from prison and leads his old gang in a chemical plant payroll heist" (IMDb). Look Ma! Top of the World -- and that's certainly what Cagney was at WB when he was making his classic gangster films. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15 "An unethical lawyer (John Garfield) with an old brother he wants to help (Thomas Gomez), becomes a partner with a client in the numbers racket" (IMDb). This is a cheat. I have seen this one. But it's one that Marty LOOOOOOOOOOOOVES and considers it huge influence of his work, which leads me to... SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 18 "The story of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his life in the mob, covering his relationship with his wife Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco) and his mob partners Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) in the Italian-American crime syndicate" (IMDb). So the rule of thumb around here is "No Spielberg, no Lucas, No Scorsese", but we broke that for the Spielberg Countdown by showing Duel, and tossed on THX 1138 for funsies, so it only makes sense we give Marty the same Hall Pass with his best? film.
