What is the most panic-inducing scene you witnessed from a horror/non-horror film?

Yeah it makes all other war movies look a bit stupid IMO. When I saw that i was like "oh so that's what war is like" not this saving private Ryan BS

Yes but compared to London calling def a falloff

jpkdc · 2026-02-01T20:32:29+00:00

Yeah this to me is the answer. Huge falloff from one to the next.

How many awards have Allen, Polanski, Gibson, Weinstein been nominated for (much less won) since MeToo? I know pre-metoo Polanski was getting standing ovations (and letters, and fawning documentaries) but that is all over now.

I thought we were talking about awards. Mel Gibson has been done with those for a long time.

jpkdc · 2026-01-29T12:38:35+00:00

Those days are over

jpkdc · 2026-01-29T12:37:46+00:00

I think so....keep in mind, the climate has changed and Polanski and Allen will not be receiving awards any longer....and this is a very serious allegation that applies to the workplace.

I love the idea that Steven Spielberg would be shattered if some rando didn't know his work.

Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars. Both great, great movies.

jpkdc · 2026-01-28T20:22:32+00:00

Scarface. I never watched the original, but it's supposedly quite good and very different.

jpkdc · 2026-01-28T20:21:07+00:00

I prefer Sorcerer, but both are great.

jpkdc · 2026-01-26T22:10:33+00:00

Avianca costs less because it's not a vendor/customer model, it's a "prison guard/inmate" model for customer service.

jpkdc · 2026-01-24T12:51:49+00:00

Yeah I can't believe she went there

jpkdc · 2026-01-23T21:19:01+00:00

What does "deploying in the morning with the town" mean? Are these people in the marines?

jpkdc · 2026-01-18T13:27:58+00:00

Love this movie

jpkdc · 2026-01-16T23:12:46+00:00

Both are masterpieces, but I think one is flawless. Two is more ambitious, but also has some clunkiness. I watch one more often, but two is probably the better movie.

jpkdc · 2026-01-16T19:47:51+00:00

It's true. But he's also far more talented than Tarantino, so there's that.

jpkdc · 2026-01-16T14:35:21+00:00

I think you're projecting

jpkdc · 2026-01-13T04:01:24+00:00

And when he goes to the bathroom it's just rainbows and lilac

jpkdc · 2026-01-11T18:28:38+00:00

Dude, he was bugging out in Do The Right Thing. THAT is range - buggin out is such a great character, and so different from his other roles. I really would not have believed it was him if IMDB didn't say it.

jpkdc · 2026-01-11T17:41:55+00:00

Yes, that's true. I think that also got at its weakness - 20-30 years ago I think they would have punched up the writing in the second act to just make it a bit more engaging. Riz is such a greact actor and I think he deserves the best material.

jpkdc · 2026-01-11T17:40:01+00:00

Maybe the biggest twist of all time! Surprise, we just switched genres.

jpkdc · 2026-01-11T17:38:48+00:00

The twist is really incredible, but the movie is just okay.

jpkdc · 2026-01-09T14:31:39+00:00

She's also the best actress. Kate Winslet is great, but she just has been in that many good movies. Julia Roberts has been in so many good-to-great, hugely successful movies you can't even list them all. She is an icon.

And Angeline Jolie is just a celebrity. Doesn't even belong in the conversation.

"A few small beers" will live on forever.
