The Great Movie Thread

Watched Bullitt from 1968 with Steve McQueen. Case scene...

I would give my left nut to be able to drive either one of those cars through those streets in that fashion

Learn a little something about that scene:

Good episode. I really enjoy the Mike Rowe podcast; it seems like something from a past time that I think we all could use

Replicated here b/c Stone Cold says so.

I am about 2/3 through the Ready Player One audiobook. This novel is a masterpiece.

DB, you need to get this.

I'll pick it up.
I have a couple Audible credits kicking around, and it looks like a load of free time coming in August.

Fans of the book are reasonably concerned about the the Spielberg production. It's a hefty trust.

The advance trailer came out at the SD Comic-Con.

What do you say, fanbois?

Just saw the trailer for Ready Player One. It looks pretty terrible. I wasn't expecting it to look good, but it surpassed even my worst expectations. Congress needs to put a 20 year moratorium on CGI remakes, and sequels, and animation. It would be brutal. You would see which directors and writers actually have talent, and which just hide behind CGI and brand recognition. There might not be more than half a dozen people in hollywood left standing.

I don't feel any certain way about it.

I'm not familiar with the story, but it looks like "Emo Teen Saves The World Part MVII", with a heavy dose of Gen X pandering.

I did kinda dig the rock version of "Pure Imagination" tho.

Wouldn't you be drunk if you've been an actor for 40 years and there's really only one role for you? Talk about being type cast.

He's had a good long run as the voice of the Joker in the Batman cartoons and games.
