Stephen444 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Rollerball 1975....I can watch football all day long but I can't rewatch this movie. Same issues of head injury but the coach of the team asks.."Who said this is just a game" Disturbing. A world controlled by corporations through sports and entertainment. Hey, that is what's happening today. Depressing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Depressing. Funny, but I was thinking this afternoon while mowing my yard about something similar. How many NFL stadiums have no corporate branding attached to them? The only 3 I could come up with were Soldier Field in Chicago, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, and Lambeau Field in Green Bay. I know Paul Brown Stadium opened a few years ago in Cincinnati, but it may have finally succumbed to the frenzy of corporate naming rights by now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Add Old Yeller to the list. I watched it once when I was a kid and cried at the end when Tommy Kirk had to shoot the dog. I haven't watched it again since. There was a Friends episode called The One Where Old Yeller Dies. Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe never knew the ending of Old Yeller because her mother would turn it off before it actually ended. Phoebe was in for a rude awakening when she watched it with her friends. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is the only film that I ever saw, when first released, that I remember hearing people sniffling in the audience. I can still remember the gun shot and the cloud of smoke that dissipates to reveal the boy’s tearful face. Don’t remember anything else though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Come to think of it.... Me either. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer5 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I actually haven't seen Old Yeller because I know the dog dies at the end, and I just can't handle it. Animal movies are hard, because the animal always seems to die at the end. Animal deaths in movies always seem much more tragic than human deaths--even cartoon animal deaths are sad!

NickAndNora34 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I wasn't upset over "Old Yeller" at all for some reason... Although, I did cry when I read the end of "Where the Red Fern Grows" in second grade. Link to post Share on other sites

Glad they don't have Dog Noir. My sister-in-law won't watch Eight Below. Here is a clear winner: Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just don't read up on the making of the movie. Link to post Share on other sites
