Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - August 31, 2026, 03:36:33 PMThe Devil's Backbone (2001) - I had seen this before, but I didn't like it as much this time. Maybe, I just wasn't in the mood for it. I think I also got it confused with a different orphanage movie. Maybe "Orphanage"?
A Mexican communist revolutionary's son is sent to live in an orphanage as per some sort of arrangement they have. When he gets there, the place is a little weird. Namely, there's a massive unexploded missile in the courtyard and also a ghost. Well, things could always be worse. The kid has to deal with the typical bullying and peer pressure, the generally horrible mood at the place, and figuring out whether the ghost is a Casper or an evil Ringu girl.
It was different and solid, but not exactly my thing. Similar to El Fantasma Del Convento (1934) with the love triangle /ghost /place out in the middle of nowhere elements.
4.25 /5

Weird News Stories / Pabst Blue Ribbon Wants its Be...
Last post by sprite75 - August 31, 2026, 01:12:37 PMA lot of Pabst Blue Ribbon was stolen recently.
You gotta be really desperate to steal that much Pabst beer.
QuoteThe Pabst Brewing Company is asking the public for help after more than 40,000 pounds of beer was stolen in what may be one of the largest beer heists in history.
Montclair Police said Friday they are investigating two cargo thefts from the Anheuser-Busch distribution center in Montclair, California, at least one of which involved a truckload of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Pabst said it would give the thieves 18 days and 44 minutes to return the beer in its Aug. 21 post – so the clock is ticking. The company is also offering a reward for help solving the theft.
You gotta be really desperate to steal that much Pabst beer.

Quote from: M.10rda on August 31, 2026, 08:42:50 AMIf I love something, I don't want it to end - so I tend to prefer longer Great films than short ones. That said, my favorite film of all time is only 93 (dense) minutes.
here's an interesting thing... it wasn't until DVDs arrived that I randomly found out the running time of one of my favourite movies ever, DAZED AND CONFUSED. I had seen that movie countless times by that stage (on a taped off blank VHS). I was stunned to see its running time is 1hr 42mins... I would've put money on it being at least 2 hours, and if someone had told me 2½ hrs then I'd have believed them!
(likewise USUAL SUSPECTS. was amazed when I found out it's only 1hr 46mins.)
they just feel like long movies to me, in a good way.
Quote from: Alex on August 31, 2026, 07:56:37 AMI've found that with books people tend to praise longer ones just because of the effort it takes to get through them. Maybe you get the same thing with movies.
interesting theory... 2 of my favourite books are pretty short (FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, and STEPFORD WIVES)... can't think of many 'long' books I've read though tbh
