What old media are you watching? - Since new media isn't worth watching
Been picking out 40s-50s flicks that seemed interesting, and then went after random TV shows from later years. Right now watching/playing in the background M*A*S*H and goddamn was it a fanatstic piece of a show. Also watched mid 90s Home Front and that was a very solid depiction of post war era.
I started the 1997 iteration of La Femme Nikita. I love the original film, the American remake, and the Maggie Q series. Its interesting, definitely a product of its time and extremely Canadian despite Peta Wilson's accent going different places. @LegoTugboat isn't she kiwi?
I'm curious to know if anyone else has seen the series. Thoughts? Apparently it was the highest rated television series in its first two seasons.
There are few movies that I would call honest-to-God masterpieces but my God, Sunrise is one of them. The story is basic, but the emotions are big, the acting is spot-on, the music perfectly complements the mood. Legit a 10/10 movie
Did watch Men In Black, but I found a bumper for Philippine TV which advertised it. The first minute was a bumper for movie night block and the theme of the month was "Black Attack" which featured movies and concerts featuring Black American celebrities and the person is speaking in a Black accent including the lingo:
Ed Wood was S tier Tim Burton despite the creative liberties. Trannies trying to claim the late filmmaker's cross-dressing and Glen or Glenda as acceptance of their perversion is cringe.
Every once in a while the kids and I watch the 1977 The Hobbit.
My mother-in-law loves older movies so my husband actually really likes the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
For those who don’t know, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is about a man named Adam who lives in the mountains and has decided to bring home a wife. So he goes around town and starts singing about what kind of woman he wants “bless her beautiful hide, wherever she may be. Pretty and prim but not too trim, pretty enough eyes and just the right size, that’s the girl for me” and he ends up bringing home a girl who agrees on a whim to marry him.
Then she gets to his house in the mountains and discovers that Adam has six other brothers who need a housekeeper more than Adam needs a wife.
It’s a really charming movie that has a jaunty tune about ancient Romans stealing and raping women, and then when the men the Romans defeated come back to take their women back, the women all have babies from the Romans and don’t want to return to their old men.
So Adam and his brothers get the idea to steal six of the women the brothers have the hots for, and the women get stuck up in the mountain due to the winter season. Adams wife is justifiably horrified so she kicks the men out of the house for the winter season.
The movie ends with adam’s wife having a baby, and the 6 women’s fathers finally making it up the mountain with the spring thaw. When their fathers see the baby they ask which girl is the mother (which daughter got raped and disgraced) but the girls have all fallen in love with the brothers at this point so they all claim motherhood of the baby, and the movie end with six shotgun weddings
It’s a super fucked up movie when you lay it out but it’s really cute. I’m sure you can tell I’m blanking on the main female lead but she has great energy for role.
I watched SLC Punk for the first time last night. It's shocking to know I never watched this growing up because 1. I was a stoner burnout in high school and the humor of this is 100% in my wheelhouse 2. it came out in 1998, so I would have been too young to see it at release but i'm shocked I never heard of it as it became more of a cult film in the 2000s. It's pretty good, the highlights of the film are Matthew Lillard's character going on jags about "the man" and about being a "real punk" in fucking Salt Lake City. Poseurs and normies alike get felted constantly. So the humor from that is good, but I feel like it gets bogged down a bit too much with melodrama when his best friend dies and a love interest thrusted upon him that he meets near the end of the film. I do like the ironic message of him trying to be a true punk then at the end relenting and realizing he wants to become an attorney like his dad and be "apart of the system". It's pretty good, maybe I'll like the last 1/3rd more with another rewatch.
The entire scene is a masterpiece but what has always low key made it for me was Captain Leroy standing behind Simmerson and just giving off subtle "Shut the hell up/I'm not with him" looks the entire time.
yeah it's a very fun movie but you don't want to take a history test based on it
like how Tor was in the movie business almost ten years before Ed started making films or how it totally ignores Wood's porn novel career
contribution to old media
OZ (1976)
STRAYA makes a Wizard of Oz thing
it's no budget and STRAYA af but a fun little thing if you want something outside the usual Oz media
Saw Maniac Cop (1988 ) recently. It was retarded but I liked it lol. After seeing Scream 7, which is fucking awful, it was nice seeing a slasher that wasn't too up it's own ass.

I’ve been in a Clint Eastwood kick, specifically the Dollars Trilogy which I haven’t seen since I watched them with my dad like a decade ago. They’re all just as good as I remember, though For A Few Dollars More, despite clearly having a jump in budget from A Fistful of Dollars, is clearly trying to cram three hours of movie into little more than two.
