Movies and TV

[Matty]

in any rate, the movie looks "blah" to me.

Like I said 2 pages ago, it's not really a movie. It's more of a space simulator that you get to ride for 90 minutes.

I'm thinking I might just head out on my own and watch it tomorrow. Jen can't do 3D movies due to seizure concerns.

I have some concern myself about motion sickness but we shall see.

 

[Matty]

If it's any help I'm very prone to motion sickness and I was perfectly fine watching Gravity.

Motion is mostly slow.

There are only a couple times I recall getting queasy at the movies. Once was an IMAX thing at the Cinesphere a long time ago called Catch The Sun. It might as well have been a film purposely designed to induce motion sickness. It was non-stop POV shots from moving planes and rollercoasters and every other damn thing.

The other thing was the Blair Witch Project with the constant hand-held camera work. I only watched about half of that. The other half, I looked at the back of the chair in front of me.

Matty would I enjoy it?

 

[Matty]

Blair Witch Project I had to watch in 5-minute increments, and in a tiny window on the computer screen. Insta-nausea.

At the movie theater, I just make sure to sit far enough that the screen doesn't cover my whole field of view.

Matty would I enjoy it?

Yes you would. It has universal appeal as a non-movie.

My gf said she thought Bullock would win an award. I said that could have basically been any actress.

So no.

 

[Mudcat]

Bullock got her award. The Blind Side. She didn't deserve it. She's a competent actress but not award worthy. But sometimes they just have to give these popular people an award so they gave her one. Fine.

But that's it - just one.

 

[Matty]

that could have basically been any actress.

yap

I could have written this post.

i'm enjoying the new James Spader drama, The Blacklist.

I have a major crush on Mr. Spader circa 1995-2005 or so. When was the movie Secretary filmed? The movie is basically soft core BDSM shown in a kind of lame way (similar I'm sure to what the 50 Shades movies will be like). Any way, that's when I developed my crush for him.

 

[CaliGirlNY]

btw Chris kinda looks like James Spared, but taller and a bit more handsome. He says he doesn't see the resemblance, but I do.

Cami - You've seen pics of Chris, don't you think he kinds looks like James Spader in a way?

 

[MrMonkey]

We've been watching BlackList last couple weeks ourselves!

James now, earlier or retro?

 

[CaliGirlNY]

Edit: somewhere btwn younger and middle. It's all in the eyes and nose I think.
