Movies and TV

Rudderless was pretty good, imo. An 8 on that. William H Macy - that guy knows how to do a thing or two.

No Country For Old Men (2007) - Was playing on the Aboriginal channel (APTV) last night. Chigurh is still the most terrifying villain I've ever seen.

Not sure I get the point of the movie. Law enforcement gets old and they retire, full of sorrow and melancholy?

Hold still.

8.7 Matty Rains

I like No Country a lot but it seems like a major slap that that's the film the Coen's win all the big awards for.

It's like, you guys are really good - as long as you aren't doing your own crap.

Still Alice (2014) is an unrelentingly harrowing movies. It has educational value - regarding Alzheimer's disease - early onset Alzheimers in this case. But not a lot of fun and whimsy should be expected.

Seems to be a foregone conclusion that Julianne Moore will win the Oscar. She has done so much good work in the past but it will not be one of these charity lifetime achievement things they sometimes hand out (Paul Newman for Road to Perdition, Sean Connery for The Untouchables). It is a strong and deserving leading role.

That's about it. Don't know how to rate it. It's well done but I don't think I would ever want to see it again.

Let's say 6.5 life-sucks out of 10.

started watching seinfeld s 1 e 1 first time ever

 

[Mudcat]

Huh. Well I'll be curious to know how you like it.

 

[Blitty]

I don't think RJ will like it

 

[Matty]

I don't think the first few seasons have aged well. Jerry and his mom jeans.

 

[Mudcat]

I watched the whole series when it was airing - I have probably seen every episode - I consider it a high point in network comedy. But it's never been a show I have wanted to watch in reruns.

 

[Blitty]

It's the best rerun show out there IMO.

 

[Blitty]

It's an NYC thing you guise wouldn't understand.

 

[MrMonkey]

Been watching old British detective shows like these ....

Foyle's War

Inspector Morse

and Inspector Lewis after the Morse actor died in real life

Better than American detective shows IMO in doing a better job of concealing who the killer is until late in the show. Keeps you guessing!

Alec Baldwin does have an amazingly gigantic head tho.

Random Fact:

I was in line behind Stephen Baldwin the other day, while at the Indian Consulate. I was there to get my visa.

Later that day I saw on TV that his daughter is possibly dating Justin Beiber.

Interesting turn of events.

Kate Bosworth is in Still Alice. She is turning into a disturbing looking woman. She's always hovered on the edges of anorexia and now she is adding severe and stretchy-faced to the look.

Kinda like yikes.

that's awesome.

Biebs gave her a back massage, in the pool.

Shameless good again.

Finally watched Inherent Vice. Have to watch it again to understand exactly what it is. No one in the world gives a what the fuck look like Pheonix, we laughed so hard.
