    So, looks like I'm still the only one who saw Inside Out, then?  (Normally, we'd get all the Pixars, or at least just Wall-E, Ratatouille and Toy Story 3, if it'd been a snooty grownup-poseur "Best of the 00's-10's/21st century" list, but this was the only one that ever truly deserved the Best Picture nomination...And "thank" you very MUCH, Golden Globes, for making sure it didn't get one.  😈 )

    I'll assume everybody's still just waiting to get around to renting Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, or "Eat It, Martin Scorsese" (yep, the snooty-poseurs were surprised by that one too, and wanted to push it into Every Award Ever Given), and given Sony's track record, I don't blame you; I only first saw it in the theater while waiting for another movie--But think of this one as "Sony's 'Wonder Woman'".  👍 

    (Not to mention, "The film we WISHED Incredibles 2 could have been, when we left grumbling out of that mess.")

    This list is all one page, although there are ads between a number of the movies discussed. I'm so accustomed to such things, I barely notice them anymore.

    What I'm saying is a simple list that one could copy paste and then remove the films that I've seen, something that would take less than a minute or two.

    I actually don't mind Estelle Parsons as Roseanne's mom in Roseanne.  I think her tendency to be shrill and screechy is funny within the context of the other characters.  I especially loved it when she had scenes with Nana Mary, Shelley Winters.

    speedracer5, Well since you got a big kick out of Bonnie and Clyde I hope you caught Warren Beatty and Julie Christie in McCabe & Mrs. Miller one of the seminal Westerns at the end of the Golden Age of Westerns.

    I put the question mark because it's not my list but one I read on AV Club. While I go to a lot of movies, I counted while I scrolled, and I've only seen 33 of these 100 movies, so who am I to say? But I thought some of you might enjoy seeing:

    https://film.avclub.com/the-100-best-movies-of-the-2010s-1839846306

    It would be nice if they just listed the films in a simple list copy and paste list, no way am I gonna wade through click bate pages and pages that load with ads and etc. 

  6. Rewatched McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) This Altman western is sort of a part of a triptic it  borrows from Day Of The Outlaw, and Corbucci's The Great Silence and in return Keoma and later HBO's Deadwood borrows from this film.

    This film was a good example of where the western genre could go exploring and be a fresh take.

    They had a couple of cool T shirts for souvenirs. One T has a list of all the designated crew bars and whorehouses of the various battleships and heavy cruisers with their addresses in Hell's Half Acre (Honolulu's Chinatown). The other was one that said Smith's Union Club oldest bar in Honolulu. Underneath that was a picture of an old  Chinese gentleman in traditional clothes and Manchurian Chinese hat with a long mustache. Under him it said "We Speak Good Engrish" the bartender who sold it to me was Chinese. lol.

    The two T's I was talking about.....

     "Sublime" and completely over-the-top in his ability to project a sense stupidity, docility, seemingly downright wormy and subhuman.

    With a couple of tweeks and maybe the substitution of "belligerency" for "docility," the above statement could be quite descriptive of Twump.

    While not of Asian decent, I cannot stomach the Mr Moto/Charlie Chan movies. I am really offended by the mocking "Ingrish" spoken by the leads. At least the truly Asian, "number one son" speaks normally, making Chan movies almost tolerable. 

    O Drat! I was able to visit Pearl Harbor and Hell's Half Acre and had a few beers in the Honolulu equivalent of New York City's McSorley’s Old Ale House called Smith's Union Club, on North Hotel Street in Hell's Half Acre, oldest bar in Honolulu and also the actual designated crew bar of the USS Arizona. A great, seedy, gritty little dive bar dump with colorful geezers, a bead chain door, ceiling fans, photos, etc.

    Nah, I just know where to find stuff.

    I asked because I actually cut out the ads (from NYC newspapers) for Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and others and stuffed them into their soundtrack albums back in the 60s and still have them. It's a hoot to take them out of those albums and not only look at them but to also see what else was playing on Times Square concurrently.

    If I put my Montana hat on  we'd say that, that's sounds like a woman who wants to be rode hard and put away wet.

    With my NYC fedora on we'd say that sounds like a "hot" date.

    The more details are depressing.  Just know that it is not fun to be out with such a woman and watch her rub her **** on literally every person on a dance floor, but you for hours.  Well briefly you, but only briefly.  The rest of the time she tried to get rid of you.  Until she needed you again for a ride.  And again later when she needed you to possibly bail her out of jail.  That is the briefest outline of what happened.  (This is a basic outline of Looney's entire life experience.)

    I recently noticed my cable guide had listed Return of the Magnificent Seven, but the on-screen title was Return of the Seven. There was some confusion, even when the film was first playing in theaters. As you can see below, the listing on the left gives first title, but in the ad, we see the second title:

    Did you cut out that newspaper ad and save it?

    THE SHINING is many things but boring IMO is NOT one of them. It's been a childhood classic for me since I was a child.
