Movies! The movie thread

flybigjet · 12-09-2024, 10:40 PM

The Minister and I watched "Conclave" tonight.

Very, very good and very, very complex.

This is an "adult" movie-- you need to *really* pay attention to get all of the levels of subtext.

And there some heavy hitters in the cast-- Fiennes, Rossellini, Tucci & Lithgow.

Well worth the evening.

Oh-- and have captions set so you can understand what's being said in Italian and Latin-- that's kind of a "thing" when the Curia gets together.

Perfect Christmas movie.

Think I’ll rent this Christmas night. Make Christmas night scary fun.

If it's available to rent. Might not be.

The original scarred the crap out of me, mind you I was in Grade 4 and our teacher showed it in class just before the Christmas break.

Indeed! I paused and zoomed in. That's him even though that's no Official claim. The likeness is too similar.

That’s kind of a bummer then. He survived the first movie!

Yes, the original one is pretty creepy. I could see that giving a 9 year old nightmares.

Alfisti · 12-11-2024, 07:41 AM

Loved the first one, it was really well done. The second wasn't bad either but not feeling this one. Feels a re-hash with a weaker cast.

If you have any semblance of faith this Christmas season, watch Mary on Netflix

Poignant!

tcphoto · 12-17-2024, 08:29 AM

I enjoyed Mary up until the point when I saw that Joel, the Ferrari driving Houston Pastor was a producer.

Carry On was entertaining.

James Gunn presents:

SUPERMAN

Now we shall see if DC made a mistake in removing Zack Snyder...

The trailer looks better than I expected.
