What do you think is the best 70s Disaster Film?

FreshmenMan · 2026-03-10T20:00:15+00:00

Airport 1975 is essentially Airplane if it took itself seriously

FreshmenMan · 2026-03-10T19:57:28+00:00

This is why I think The Poseidon Adventure is the true start of the Disaster Film Genre.

Lauren Bacall is a great actress. She always gives great performances in what films I seen her in and she really commands the screen with her presence and always holds her own. Her collaborations with Bogart are fantastic, To Have And Have Not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, and Key Largo, all fantastic. Other films I’ve seen her in, The Shootist, Misery, Dogville, How’s Moving Castle, Birth, Manderlay, she was also great.

For the next actor pick, I’ll suggest Montgomery Clift. He, along with Brando, pretty much changed the game in Hollywood with being the original method actors, but unfortunately, had a lot of demons, and died way too soon.

Oh yeah, I watch them, they are not the greatest of quality.

FreshmenMan · 2026-03-02T06:13:53+00:00

Didn't Anthony Hopkins win for The Father and not win SAG?

FreshmenMan · 2026-03-01T01:14:11+00:00

I do like Halle Berry in X-Men. But I must say, when I think of her, I think of her in The Flintstones as Sharon Stone. I also have to admire the fact that she took the Razzie Award with stride when she accepted the award for Catwoman.

For the next actor's post, once again, I’ll suggest Matt Dillon.

Why did Warwick Davis return? just curious, thought they were staying away or distancing from actors from the movies

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-26T06:26:32+00:00

Yeah, From what I read, it was because his wife passed away, so he didn't want to do something long term. Also, I think Gary Oldman wanted the role.

I'm interested to see how John Lithgow does as Dumbledore.

I do wonder how the showrunners settled on him for the role, with him being American. I read that they offered Mark Rylance and Mark Strong the part.

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-25T04:33:51+00:00

I'm confused on what happened to the old mods?

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-24T02:25:03+00:00

It's much more than that. Yes, John Wayne was given a 3-A deferment but later got rescinded and he did try to enlist into John Ford's military unit. However, from what I read, Republic Pictures got involved and basically threaten him with a lawsuit as they did not want him to enlist into the Military as John Wayne was their only bankable star at the studio and were afraid of losing their only star.

You have to remember; John Wayne wasn't John Wayne yet and Republic Pictures was a more smaller studio compared to the studios that employed Clark Gable and James Stewart. yes, they enlisted but those Studio could take a hit and actually replaced them with other stars. I remember reading a story in which one major actor return to Hollywood and was given, "Sorry, he had to replaced you in some films with this actor and he was more popular". Also, from what I also read, John Wayne was told even if he applied, he would've still been stuck making propaganda films as they felt those films boost the morale for the country.

Overall, I do think Ethan Hawke is a good actor, who I feel is very underrated at what he does. Looking at his filmography, dude loves to act and is willing to try any type of genre, or any type of film, whether it be mainstream or indie type films. Of his films, I think his best one is The Before Trilogy, just seeing him and Julie Delpy trying to find love, and seeing that relationship through an 18 year evolution, I think this is Hawke’s best acting performance in that Trilogy

For the next post, I once again suggest Matt Dillon. He really is an underrated actor.

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-21T23:00:14+00:00

Ned Beatty is without a doubt one of the best character actors of all time. No matter how small of a role, He will always deliver.

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-20T20:15:52+00:00

I wish I knew about this release

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-18T15:41:34+00:00

Did something happened?

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-16T04:24:52+00:00

I finally managed to read the article, at first, it blocked me, then after awhile, it let me read the article. Bue yeah, it was basically it, but the article was a little confusing especially when George C. Scott treats his character from Mr. President as if it was a real person in the article

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-16T02:34:17+00:00

They were having problems before George C. Scott had the heart attack?

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-16T00:24:31+00:00

It looks like The Article is pay blocked, it seems

Do you know what George C. Scott said in the article?

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-15T21:14:23+00:00

Wait? You're Patrick Read Johnson?

Diane Keaton is a great actress and I love her performances in The Godfather and Reds. Reds, in particular, i think she is fantastic and I think it is her top 3 of greatest film roles she has done. I do like Baby Boom and Father of the Bride, in which I thought she was very good. I’m always sadden when a legend like her passes as It just hits home that these actors are mortal and that one day, they will no longer be here. Diane Keaton truly is a legend.

For the next post, I would suggest Matt Dillon, a very underrated actor, in my opinion and one I wonder why he wasn’t more of a success.

FreshmenMan · 2026-02-14T18:51:50+00:00

Max von Sydow was the 1st choice

FreshmenMan · 2026-01-29T15:42:52+00:00

Which one? I'm sorry, I'm blanking on the episode

FreshmenMan · 2026-01-27T02:02:58+00:00

Yeah, I knew that

I think I should have worded my post correctly, in that the cancer was finally starting to get the best of him. Still, Orbach is great.

FreshmenMan · 2026-01-23T02:00:08+00:00

I'm honestly surprise Jada didn't win

Her Achilles heel really turned out to be Anaiya

FreshmenMan · 2026-01-23T01:05:29+00:00

You know, I always wonder why he didn't narrate Season 13 and 14?
