I meant it was alright, I just couldnt have fun with it like I did with Predator and First Blood. And it felt like 2 different movies. I was also indifferent on Rae Dawn Chong (what a name). C's arent bad to me, just mediocre.

Glad you loved Superman Jandrew. it's by far the best Superman movie, and makes me really angry with Wb's new take. 

[Jandrew]

Watched Sunset Blvd. I liked it. I liked the narration, and the screenplay plot. Thanks for the recommendation, Red. Also watched YOLT. Getting back on our Bond binge so we can get to Moonraker before summer. I wanna see Bond in space, I need to see this.

 

Not sure what to watch tomorrow. Got exam stuff to do, but I can still have something on in the background. Send me suggestions people!

Oh I love it, I use it everyday. Thanks for getting me hooked on it. I love seeing my log of films and seeing the older collection grow. I look at your profile and everyone elses every now and then.

 

I really do find it amazing though that I'm not too far behind you and Jack Nevada lol. I'm at 1,081. Jack is at 1,354. I thought you guys were the kings of movie watching around here, especially Jack...dudes watching 1920 black and white polish films, I'm surprised I'm only 100 behind you. 

 

Have you really not seen any of the Universal monster films and many 40's-60s films and what not, or have you just not filled everything in?

 

 

Ps who the fuck had the audacity to give this thread 1 star? I will find you. And I will kill you.

Oh I cant do that, would drive my OCD crazy. I had to make sure I logged every single film my eyes have seen. Even the Disney Channel ones. Thats one thing about Letterboxd, I cant remember everything so I feel I forget some titles, and it drives me nuts. I feel im forgetti a Bruce Lee or too, and I dont remember which Air Bud I suffered through as a kid. Messes with me haha.

@Talisman, Ive seen Pyscho, Rear Window, and Vertigo, but Ill give the others a look. Thanks!

[Jandrew]

Abyss was good. Ahead of its time too. I like maritime settings for some reason, maybe because of where I'm from. Isn't Abyss in your top 100, Tele?

 

 

Anyway someone giving me others to watch today. I'd like to build up my 70's log. I was gonna do French Connection but don't feel like it. Preferably something a little shorter, and something I don't have to pay close attention too since I'm doing final projects. It doesn't have to be 70's, but what's something I can have in the background?

Good deal. Have you had a chance to see Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

[Dementeleus]

... It doesn't have to be 70's, but what's something I can have in the background?

 

Well, shit, that rules out most good movies. What about SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT or CANNONBALL RUN?

[Jandrew]

Cannonball Run doesn't sound like a bad idea, and its short. My tempo. I'll find something better tonight that I can pay closer attention too.

Not yet. I'll put it in the title when I do. I'll give it go pretty soon, just gotta get in the right mood.

You are, jandrew93.

This is an extremely good project you're doing, btw. I sort of did the same last year (watching classic movies) and I like to think my taste and ability to enjoy all kinds of movies have gotten way better as a result. This year I've focused more on alternative/avantgarde/controversial stuff and it's been really great.
