I gotta say - and I know MrX is not on board with this - but there is something not quite right about Emma Stone. Her acting is great in many things - that's not what I'm talking about. I'm speaking more from a cliche male chauvinist pig perspective. She is never quite sexy. Seems like she should be but somehow no (for me).

:dunno:
 
Started The Grand Budapest Hotel then promptly shut it off around the 5-minute mark. I knew it was based on an S. Zweig story, but not that it was made by fokkin' Wes Anderson.

For some reason W. Anderson's aesthetics turn me off completely. I have zero interest in sitting through some weird not-quite-of-this-world art house bullshit.

Put on The Imitation Game instead, about Alan Turing. I'm not sure why the Brits spent so much time trying to reverse-engineer the Enigma machine when other methods (i.e. planting a spy to intercept the daily settings) seemed so much simpler. In the end, they didn't so much crack the machine as they leveraged human tendency to write the same way over and over again.

Anyhoo, that's not really the point of the movie. I'm not sure the movie had a point other than educate the masses about Alan Turing. It's very similar to The Theory of Everything in its semi-documentary approach.

It was fine.

I saw this in the theater tonight because theft ain't my thang.



If you like these kinds of movies (which Tron does) you will really like this movie.

I had no less than 2 dozen laugh out loud moments during this film.

Phoenix is outstanding.

It has a little bit of a Big Lebowski feel but more abstract.


If you don't like these types of films you will feel very meh about the whole thing.

7.5 Trons.
 
Furthermore, the Golden Globes are tonight - with the delightful hosting tandem of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - whom I've never seen host because I don't watch the Golden Globes - but everyone seems to agree they are very good - and I hear they are declaring this their last time at the GG's - so who knows? - maybe that means they will do the Oscars in the future - which I do watch - so I will see what the fuss is about - I would be interested in that - because I hear those two are a delight.
 
Two islands are located exactly 18 miles apart. One island's lone occupant is Amy Ryan. The other, much sexier island is inhabited by only Emma Stone.

Posters Mudcat and MrX are thrown from a boat into open ocean exactly halfway between these two islands.

Which poster arrives at which island first?

X was right. Broadway shit - I don't and won't understand.

Fuck Birdman.

Simple, I know. But also I don't care what you think about my simplicity. So take the Broadway shit and shove it straight up your asshole, k?

thanks.

But this was a pretty good start, no?

I believe there's a bigger question here MrX looking at it from a women's point of view! Say you both get there at the same time on the same island ...... after a long, enduring, energy zapping journey to reach the island ...... who will be able to adequately perform for the lady ASAP! Teela probably agrees with the monkey! :winkwink:
