Trying to figure out what to watch today


I'm pretty old. Just hit 42 today.

Looking for a movie recommendation.
Preferably no Marvel, DC, or Star Wars.

Bad movies welcome.

reply

I'M 42...WELCOME ABOARD...HAPPY BIRTHDAY,MY FRIEND.


DID YOU NOT GROW UP READING COMICS?...I FUCKING LOVE ME SOME MARVEL.

reply

I did. I had to offload a ton of comics about 4 years ago.

That's part of my issue with the movies. They started acting like a comic series over being individual films. That's a lot of effort.

reply

ALI AND I HAVE HAD TO PUT SOME WORK IN TO KEEP UP...THAT'S FOR SURE...BUT WHEN THEY GO RIGHT THEY GO REAL RIGHT FOR ME...THIS IS MY HONEST OPINION...THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY IS THE STRONGEST TRILOGY EVER...I HONESTLY FEEL THAT WAY.



P.S. WOLVERINE AND GAMBIT WERE ALWAYS MY GUYS...SO THE ARRIVAL OF THE MUTANTS IN THE MCU HAS ME AS HARD AS THE samoanjoke's HEAD.

Hobo with a Shotgun (2011)

reply

It's gaudy, gross, violent, and has a killer monologue. Thank you.

reply

You're welcome! Can't go wrong with Rutger Hauer.

reply

You are only months older than myself, so hopefully my recommendation is a great one

I got it on the list.

reply

Cool.

and Happy Birthday!

reply

Thank you. Plus, I adore the work of Bill Hicks.

reply

Cool! The only natural progression now is Mort Sahl :)
(who is now my favorite)

Professor Irwin Corey is another original comic genius ignored, maybe because people don't want to work at it, since it does take a second (or maybe a handful) of viewings to gather it all

Happy Birthday Homey!

I say watch I Come In Peace/Dark Angel (1990)

reply

Amazing gun work in that. Thank you.

reply

Cockfighter with Warren Oates and Harry Dean Stanton, directed by Monte Hellman is currently free on Prime Video.

reply

I LOVE BOTH OF THOSE GUYS AND HAVE WANTED TO SEE THAT FILM FOR SOME TME...THE SUBJECT MATTER PUTS IT OUT OF BOUNDS FOR ME THOUGH.

reply

One of the taglines for the film was "He came with his cock in his hand and what he did with it is illegal in 49 states!". If you like Oates and Stanton you might want to check out "2 Lane Blacktop", another Hellman film also with Dennis Wilson and James Taylor if you haven't already seen it.

reply

It's on the list.

reply

Happy birthday!

reply

Thank you.

The Nightingale, 7.3/35k votes (aussie flick)
Lady Macbeth, 6.8/26k votes (Florence Pugh)

Rather similar in theme, coincidentally. Both very violent.

reply

I'm cool with that. Thank you.

reply

NZ has a very good domestic violent movie, "Once Were Warriors"

reply

I'll add it.

reply

There are a bunch of movies. Too many to see today. I'm just going to make a list of every one of these and go through them. I'll put a review up for each one on my lame podcast.

reply

THAT IS SO COOL...I APPRECIATE YOU,MAN...YOU ADD SO MUCH AROUND HERE...I WOULDN'T MIND HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON MANNEQUIN... IF YOU FIND THE TIME ON ONE OF YOUR REVIEWS.😃

reply

I'll add mannequin. I loved Hollywood in that!

reply

I MAKE ALI WATCH IT THREE OR FOUR TIMES A YEAR...LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS.
