I was just kidding around watching both the idiot box more and wrestling, though I do watch a lot of sports, I do not watch "professional" wrestling. It is totally weird that AMC got this contract; the commercials they have been airing for the switch to AMC are just as ridiculous as it is over at Axis: absurd costumes, fake pre-game showdowns, long half-wit speeches before the match, and wrestlers smashing metal folding chairs over the head of other wrestlers.
And I like all the actors/actresses in this movie. It was basically in one room as mentioned above, like a play mentioned aboved. Just didn't work for me.
Inglorious Bastards and Django (D's silent) Unchaned, besides the obvious Pulp Fiction, honorable mention to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Brad Pitt nailed it in this movie as Leo's sidekick) are my opinion waaaay better QT movies.
Word dude. I totally respect your opinion. It's just different cirumstances, different times for me. I come across some jacket art I like I find at Half Price Books, I frame it and hang it up in the billiard room. Otherwise, I listen to CD's now.
I think I had the same problem with Jackie Brown, there was no chemistry, and it dragged on and on; but again, my opinion. I also think Kill Bill should have been one movie with an intermission. I was annoyed I had to go to the movie theater twice to see the movie continue on. Ironically, I liked Vol. 2 more than Vol 1.
I love Quentin Tarantino, but there was just too much talking in this movie (not to say Pulp Fiction didn't have a lot of talking, it did, but at least "Jules" was funny to listen to, and there was more action). I like the fact that he brought almost everyone back that made his movies great (sans John Travolta, but QT had this unusual talent to resurrect careers). IMO, I just didn't feel this movie was great nor neccessary.
Just watched "Sophie's Choice" on TMC the other night (1982) and I do not know what to make of it. Weird stuff. Can't believe that Nazi officer at Aushwitz came back and made Sophie make a choice; if she'd never argued her case to him, he may've never came back. Cost her dearly. Terrible. The ending of the movie even worse. One highlight (guess why she won the Oscar) and having taken 6 years of German in both undergrad and graduate research, the German Meyrl Streep spoke (although the accent was hard to detect, but she was acting as a Catholic Polish woman in the movie) was pretty good. And FWIW, you'd know I was an American speaking German...to this day, I still cannot roll my R's.
This is the record that started this thread, right? (I know catalogue numbers were given, but don't know if they match the OJC reissue numbers, and the pic in the parent post seems unavailable) but if so, this is a fantastic record, which I spin often.
