Sgt Hartman - Lemme see your war face!

Pvt Joker - Sir?

Hartman - You got a war face? Aaaaaaaarg! That’s a war face. Now lemme see your war face.

Joker - Aaaaaarg!

Hartman - Bullsh*t you didn’t convince me. Lemme see your real war face!

Joker - Aaaaaaaaaaarg!

Hartman - You didn’t scare me. Work on it.

You may be on to something, Ecurb. Every time I watch that movie I find something I didn’t notice before.

As for the Stegner books, I struggled with “Angle of Repose.” Probably I should give it another go sometime.

Tokyo Sonata (2008) - directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa who has done some horror films as well, this is an outstanding drama about a Japanese man who loses his job, goes through a crisis, as does his wife, and their talented son who plays the piano very well. I liked this one very much. 8/10

For another outstanding Japanese drama I recommend Departures (2008)... 9/10

The Paperboy (2012) - Watched it after I read the novel. Strong performance by McConaughey and Kidman. The movie has a good rhythm to it and, even after having read the novel, it is a rivetting watch. Still, I prefer the ending of the novel to the ending of the movie. It has more of life's unavoidable bland cruelty to it in my opinion.

its interesting to consider how it is that threads seemingly die, or at least go dormant for months into years at a time. this seems like one that wouldn't have.

I watch a lot of movies, and rather than post the last one I saw, id like to post one that I was surprised by thoroughly enjoying and would recommend to everyone: Rio.

its cute, comical, touching, inspiring, deliciously elemental, visually wonderfully colorful, and has a happy ending!

I recently changed my desk top background to a screen shot from the movie.

Haven't seen Rio yet... will have to find it on your recommendation :) Wanted so badly to watch Top Gun, Maverick at the theater, but never made it... did watch it streaming on Prime and wasn't disappointed. A notch above the earlier Top Gun in some ways which I did see on the big screen way back when, where I will only stream the reruns for about 15-20 minutes total of selected scenes: opening, ending, and the appearance of Maverick's civilian instructor (after bar scene) :) - makes for a very enjoyable fast movie.

a heads-up tailor, its not a musical in the strictest sense, but there are some musical numbers and dancing in it. no zombies though. it probably helps if you like animals in general and birds in particular.

I loved top gun maverick and I can see how itd be better on the big screen. heck id put it a couple notches above the original but at the same time, I loved how the sequel was so dependent on the original and how knowledge of the former made the latter so much better.

I don´t remember my last film at the theater, it was way before pandemics.

The last film I remember watching on line is La Strada (The Road) one of the first films if not the first by Frederico Fellini, when he wasn´t famous yet and had difficulties getting actors to work for him. The film casts his wife Giulietta Masina, one of the best actresses I ever new in the main roll. Another curiosity is Antony Quinn as male protagonist.

between covid and the advent of streaming services and dvd's for free at the library, its a wonder we still have movie theaters.

I don´t subscribe to a streaming service, but during covid we had some free streaming even from the yearly movie contest. And I have a good internet.

I've got four movies on my docket danik, although some more will probably be coming in this week. sometimes its six of one half dozen of the other which one I watch.

do you have any interest in elvis, black adam, death wish (the remake with bruce willis) or red sparrow?

Thank's,Bounty. At present I'm not watching so many films.I had to give away a whole collection of old classics. Sometimes I watch one or another film on PC, when there is a good offer. My DVD is long gone.
