MOVIES: What are you watching?

indybobindybobMember
I hear you TBird, and while I believe you're talking about this particular movie (not movies in general), I'll walk out on maybe 5 or 10 percent of the performances I see (walked out at a local opera last week at intermission). Whether the ticket was 5 or 50+ bucks, I always ask myself if I'd be happier watching something I don't like, or out doing something I do, if even for an hour.

That reminds me of a 'Wagner Series' of tickets (at the National Opera House in Munich) that my g'friend at the time purchased (we lived close by at the time and loved attending the operas). The first one we went to was 4 hours in length with a 15 minute intermission (one of the upcoming operas in the series was 6 hours in length with one 30 minute intermission). I realized that evening that I can't stand Wagner, or his pretentious operas. Roll Eyes

I promptly sold the rest of the series, which was very easy in Munich.

Which opera?


Good call KSC02. It was a local production of Wagner's Das Rheingold. Very good orchestra, some good singing, terrible production values (one of the principals was wearing what appeared to be Nike Shox, presumably because of bad knees?) There was some sort of power point presentation on a giant screen above the orchestra that would lock up intermittently. Probably needed a faster graphics card on the lapper running it.

Well, looks like I must take KSC02's birthday gift back now!

The Prestige - one of my all-time favorites. Just can't get enough of this movie.

Plus Scarlett Johansson looks even more unbelievable on Blu-Ray.


Whoa, how did this movie not get on my radar? Confused

Thanks for the heads-up!


A completely unique movie. Enjoy Wink



I was thinking more about Scarlett, but will give it a shot nevertheless. Wink

would have NEVER walked out on it...

Agreed. I only watched it for Anne Hathaway but found myself enjoying it quite a bit. Not a 'good' movie, but I was entertained.

Watched most of The Da Vinci Code on TV last night for the first time. I had such low expectations after everything I have heard that I wasn’t disappointed, but wasn’t really impressed either. I like Tom Hanks, but I just cannot see him as Langdon. You need someone more professor like. Everyone says Harrison Ford but he is one of my least favorite actors and he is too old at this point. How about someone like Greg Kinnear???

How about Kirk Cameron?

Watched Star Trek today. I never got into Star Trek when I was younger; in fact I have never seen one Star Trek movie or TV show. Growing up, the only thing I really knew about Star Trek was that the more knowledge you had of the subject, the less likely you were to have sex with a women. Wink

With all that said, it was awesome! My wife and I agreed that the movie stood on its own, we liked the cast, liked the story, action etc. Looking forward to the next one.

PS – The actress playing Uhura is smoking! Have not seen or heard of her before this…

Why did you decide to give up sex after all these years?

Perhaps it is just me, but no movie is worth that! Razz

So what is next, a pocket protector?
