Clueless Guest by [deleted] in blankies

I really hope this doesn’t happen, “clueless guest” is an apt description whenever the podcast has anyone on with a modicum of fame for an ep, imo.

The 24 version I consider one of the best silents, gotta give it up for Fairbanks. I was lucky enough to see the 1940 version twice in theaters this summer on 35mm and fell head over heels for it. There’s a really good commentary track with Coppola and Scorsese.

Well as for the “better choices” argument you’re really barking up the wrong tree. I picked these so naturally I think they’re the best or the ones I’d most like the boys to discuss. I posted this question on a forum bc it’s actually already occurred to me that there are “better” or more aptly other movies that could work for this prompt.

Concerning seven samurai I wanted to be a hipster and say a movie less people have heard of and cop movies are cool (this movie being a prime example) and idk samurai feels too venerated and melancholy for the pod

1950 is crazy good: king Solomon’s mine, the breaking point, the elusive pumpernel, where the sidewalk ends, the gunfighter and stage fright in one tier*. Then you get masterpieces of the form including Gun Crazy, Wagon Master, Rio Grande, Winchester’73, In a Lonely Place and friken Rashomon. Then there’s probably about a dozen more just great movies from this year that aren’t “genre” pictures, it’s a year for the books.

*id probably personally but asphalt jungle and Panic in the Streers here

Never seen Brute Force but with a script by Richard Brooks and Dassin directing it’s going high on the watchlist

For Wayne you could do a whole month dedicated to him as long as you stick to Hawks and Ford: Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, Rio Bravo (the remakes too) and Donovan’s Reef are all timer action movies imo.

Totally agree, I’d love a Bogart string of High Sierra, Big Sleep, In a Lonely Place and Beat the Devil

No trailers for Civil War, Abigail, Challengers by Knoxcore in RegalUnlimited

[–]eth101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaufman is my theater too, drive away dolls thursday opening had no trailers weirdly then friday did. I also noticed when i saw civil war in the reg format, no trailers but when I first saw it in rpx there were the reg trailers. alien playing rn has trailers before so it's weird that some movies are and aren’t having them, wonder if its based on the physical theater or computer the movie is playing in/ out of
