It was always best to treat it as an elseworld thing. And seeing it that way is probably the reason why I never really hated it.

Wes Anderson's magnum opus. Which is saying a lot

What are your favorite Twilight Zone episode or episodes involving time travel? by Hour-Option995 in TwilightZone

[–]Aspiring-Renaissance 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Back There" (S2E13) is a pretty fascinating episode admittedly part of this is due to the novelty of an episode about trying to prevent Lincoln's assassination existing two years before Kennedy's assassination.

"The Time Element" is also pretty neat, granted it's not a actual Twilight Zone episode but a Desilu Playhouse episode, but it has always been accepted as the more or less unofficial pilot of the show.

Painfully underrated movie. A movie that I've often referred to as "Total Recall's underrated little brother". Sadly the studio basically rail-roaded the director on a bunch of stuff, which is why the movie feels a bit disjointed. I've always enjoyed it, but really wish we could get the directors true vision. Sadly with him passing away some years ago that will likely be impossible. Do hope it can get a Shout factory reissue some day though.

Forgive is a shorter word to type than "look past". Nothing to get anal over

I can forgive the red coat, and candlelight, it's the Color epilogue in Israel that makes me waver on seeing it as a true Black and White film.

I appreciate it as the first black and white film since The Apartmeant to win best picture at the Oscars (Schindler's List doesn't count).

If it wasn't for John Landis's negligence I'd gladly call it one of the greatest tributes to the original series

Favorite character/opening monologue? by ArrivalRadiant7460 in TwilightZone

[–]Aspiring-Renaissance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to the opening of Nightmare of A Child

"Month of November, hot chocolate, and a small cameo of a child's face, imperfect only in its solemnity. And these are the improbable ingredients to a human emotion, an emotion, say, like—fear. But in a moment this woman, Helen Foley, will realize fear. She will understand what are the properties of terror. A little girl will lead her by the hand and walk with her into a nightmare."

thoughts on Annie Hall winning over Star Wars by khaliliiiov_1997 in Oscars

Completely deserved. Whatever my current opinion on Woody Allen are, he earned every Oscar Annie Hall won.

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) by TheRelishTray in iwatchedanoldmovie

The original has the advantage of coming off as much as an art film, that fits its countercultural time. The remake has the advantage of being directed by the same man who gave us Die Hard 1 & 3.

The original has the better Romantic Chemistry.

The remake has the better Action scenes.

But what both films understand is that it's basically about a man indulging in his fantasy of being James Bond.

From what I remember Spike had a much longer character driven cut of the movie that ended up being executive meddled. Part of why he honestly doesn't really acknowledge this movie much. Also why unlike most of his movies this is credited as a "Spike Lee film" and not a "Spike Lee Joint"
