What are we watching now?

[Frankencat]

A Christmas Story
Trading Places

At the same time, surfing back and forth.

Time for my annual Anthony Bourdain Binge. Damn, I miss that dude.

 

[Frodebro]

Started watching the Harry Potter series in order yesterday, continuing the binge today…

Went and watched Nosferatu last night. Great visuals (what you could see because Eggers only uses torches for film lighting ) and creepy vibes. Bill Skarsgaaaaararard's THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC accent and Spongebob Squarepants Movie Mustache Competition Winner look was not a good choice however. Looks to be a film where you get grey poupon'd for not liking it even the slightest bit. Reminds me a bit of Tool fans

Have (had?) high hopes for that one

It looks great. Dafoe is excellent and it has a great creepy vibe. But there are certainly caveats? I wish he'd do something in the modern age instead of always doing period piece stuff.

I’m wondering about the new Bob Dylan picture ?
Friends went to see it yesterday in the USA and enjoyed it but are still on the fence about it ??

 

[JiveTurkey]

Timothy Chalamet playing Bob Dylan for me is about The Hardest Pass: Film Edition I can think of

 

[Dave Lewis]

I’m listening to music on my main audio system now but we all watched the last Gavin & Stacey on Christmas night .

God, growing up this was the best shit!

Big up me Julie and the Stains Massive

Last night we watched Blackenstein from 1972. It was awful in every single way.

Rewatched The Hitcher over holiday break. Re-re-reiterating for me for the bazillionth time how much of a badass Rutger Hauer was. Such a great screen presence.

That's one I always meant to try. This past year I tried watching some of his low budget action movies where he's the lead, like Blind Justice, and I just couldn't make it. I swear, I tried.

You're probably not a good candidate for Hobo With A Shotgun then

I'll be the judge of that:

I can love a film that's so bad it's good, but that is a rare thing for me, like Miami Connection, the crème de la crème of awesome B movies, about a Tae Kwon Do rock band that fights cocaine dealing biker ninjas in 1985, with some of the awesomest songs you'll ever hear:

If you don't get the reference "Sho nuff!" then you aren't a true B movie connoisseur, my friend.

Haha We just watched The Last Dragon for the first time this past year! I freaking loved it. I was surprised that Taimak didn't do anything else that looked like it would be as good.

Even so, I'm definitely not very well versed in B movies. I can't make it through a lot of them; Miami Connection is a huge exception. As far as The Last Dragon is concerned though, to me a lot of things about it were way higher quality than a lot of B movies. What I really need to do is just watch old episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The thing is though, whenever we watch movies like that, my wife and I pretty are the MST3000 cast, and we take like 3 hours to watch an hour and a half movie due to all the pausing and smartass commentary.

Why? Do you think you're going to miss important exposition and key plot points? LOL!
