What are we watching now?

Actual lines from the movie.

"Can I trust you?"

"Yes."

"Can I?"

"Yes."

"OK."

And what was with the pumpkins? An American vegetable in Africa pre-1492?

I felt Ridley was deliberately trying to annoy historians.

No way?

My wife and I laughed really hard about your post. Not going to watch it. Why would you ever try to make a Gladiator 2

From what I'm reading I should've went to see Wicked this week instead.

I'm serious. There's loads of buzz about it today.

I'm going to have to see it anyway as punishment for bringing her to see Gladiator 2. Might as well try hype myself.

This was a good watch. If you dig Star Trek and onion sandwiches

There is a phenomenon at showings of Wicked where the audience starts singing along so loudly you can't hear the movie. I haven't seen it, but they were talking about it on the news.

It reminds me of the first time I saw The Room. It was a midnight showing at a theater, and the audience was screaming lines, which was terrible if you were seeing it for the first time. We left after twenty minutes and watched it at home! I think that kind of thing is great if you already know a film by heart. I so want to see a midnight showing of Rocky Horror one day.

The Wire. Am on season 2. Great show.

I recently and slowly started up the wire for a re watch. Oz as well. HBO was seriously killing it during that era

A class in college required me to go to a showing the school was putting on. It was pretty great.

One of my best movie theater experiences was Commando, with one guy in the audience yelling "oh Bennett!" when he comes on screen.

I've also seen Room and throwing spoons around was fun.

That said, I can totally understand that if you are seeing it the first time you'd like to avoid distractions.

Started watching the Bear and watched the first two episodes. I'm interested, but at the same time loathe the way it's filmed. It has so many closeup shots that I feel like over half the time it's just talking heads. Or noses or something.

There'd better be none of that when I'm dragged in to see it.

Commando is

Coincidentally I watched Commando for the first time in years last week.

When he got undressed to swim to the bad guy island at the end he was clearly wearing underwear so... bit of false advertisement.

Saw wicked yesterday. Had no choice in the matter. It started out even weaker than expected; later redeemed itself with one or two effective scenes, interspersed with still more mediocre schlock. (Perhaps an ad-libbing Jeff Goldbum is actually slightly overrated, and he ought to be given actual, well-written lines, if cast at all?)

Overall, meh out of 10.

(P.S. Since this is a musical, and many of you are musicians, I should say that much of the singing is technically astonishing. But then, most of the songs seem kind of half-baked to me, without as much interesting structure, hooks, counterpoint, etc. as you’ll typically find in a big budget musical. Or maybe I was just in a bad mood, or annoyed by all the “vocabulation”.)

I'm glad I can consider myself marked safe from watching that movie. Oof
