Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

Super Snooper (1980) aka Super Fuzz. I've now seen this 3 times in the span of 30 years. Each time I forgot everything about it, I don't know why. I don't watch many comedies as I'm sort of allergic to the post "There's Something about Mary" endless gross out humor and "but it has a heart" warmth combo, so this provided some badly needed variety. It's a little long though (one hour and 45 minutes) and the plot is rather thin. Whatever, it still rules.

Charismatic lead actor Terence Hill is a new cop working with grizzled veteran Ernest Borgnine, who seems to have a great time here. He gets zapped by nuclear rays and turns into Super Snooper. There's really no limit to his powers when he uses them and it defies all rational logic. I saw another Italian movie "Super Argo Man" that did that; Where the powers make him basically God and why doesn't he just snap his fingers and solve all known problems on Earth? Americans raised on super hero comics don't go for that, really.

"Supaah Snupaaaaah" 4.75 /5 can't wait to watch it again in 10.2 years.

La Bamba(1987) & The Creep Behind the Camera(2014) tend to trigger certain people..... I'm not sure why...

I personally think it's one of their best, but I'm aware most people don't. which is fine...  can't see why anyone would get upset or offended by any opinions on it really? it's not exactly a controversial movie.

I think the Bob Hoskin Super Mario Bros movie and the Raul Julia Street Fighter were legitimately good and entertaining movies.

And I think the Nolan Batman movies were bad and Heath Ledger made a horrible Joker.   


and I don't care who know it!

Quote from: claws on Today at 01:07:15 AMPersonally, I think District 9 isn't a lecture. It's a metaphor, and deliberately uncomfortable. It's not about guilt, it's about the absurdity and cruelty of segregation systems. But that's only my opinion.


Whew. After that description I think I basically sold myself that Babe is a bad movie. But really it isn't. It has charm and panache and perhaps some people disagree with me on what I am saying. I don't see what is so great about it. I mean enlighten me.
And since so many people talk about it. But suspiciously those same people (or clicks if you will) never talk about Animal Farm or Babe Ruth (who is the real Babe.) I think that the mentality of a lot of people, especially people from Australia — should be court martialed. Then who knows. We might have the freedom to actually have some real discussions. About good movies. Bad Movies. Yeah sure.

Then I follow up with

47. Khartoum (1966)

during the siege of Khartoum 1884-85

The nice thing about movies about battles is that they happen on one precise moment in time.

If you want to upset LOTR fans, ask what the problem with Sauron getting the ring back is. It isn't like he could have put it on.  :bouncegiggle:

Almost every comment I've ever made about the LOTR films has upset LOTR fans - even the positive ones! (I think TWO TOWERS is head-and-shoulders the best film of the three, even notwithstanding the prolonged final scene... whoops, there he goes again!)

Do people get upset about BURN AFTER READING hot takes? It's pretty Mid for the Coens, no...?

it was just a joke, referring to contraband / drugs etc...

although I guess you could display it in public and charge passers by to have their photo taken, sitting on it.

Triumph of the Will(1935) - Always seems to touch a few nerves before rational discussion can be had.....
Nosferatu the Vampyre(1979) - I always found it way too contemporary to the 1970s, but art film lovers tend to disagree with me.....
