  • Inherent Vice doesn’t look like my cup of tea. @Birdleson That’s funny you feel that way, because for me Magnolia could be somewhat dull, while There Will Be Blood was riveting and holds my attention 110%. I guess that just comes down to what one…
  • That may be true, but it doesn’t have much bearing on the people. It’s just a kind of subconscious tradition it seems like.
  • I have seen: Magnolia: Eh. It was alright, but definitely overhyped; it's just too busy. Punch-Drunk Love: Very good. Sandler's best movie by far; a great drama/dark comedy. There Will Be Blood: Masterpiece. One of the best films ever. Phantom…
  • Is anyone else here a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson?

  • I’m hopeful we’ll get a big shakeup after Bond 25. We need it. New everything pretty much I’d say. EDIT: Doesn’t matter if Bond 25 is good or bad. We need something new.
  • Of the ones I saw: 1. The Shape of Water 2. Dunkirk 3. Phantom Thread 4. Get Out 5. Lady Bird 6. The Post 7. Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri Didn’t see Darkest Hour or Call Me By Your Name yet.

  • I’ll say this much: If I knew for sure a Boyle-helmed Bond 25 would result in a much better product than P&W’s Bond script directed by anyone, I would be more than willing to wait a little while longer for it. I’m just really rooting for Craig t…
  • I’ve just sort of tuned out lately since my team has gone so far down the tubes. I’ll try to follow again come playoff time.
  • Too bad. I liked The Prestige an awful lot.

  • Darn. Sorry to hear it.

  • Magnolia (1999). First PTA film I've seen that I wasn't a big fan of. I didn't hate it or anything, but I did expect to enjoy it a little more.
  • I was so against a sequel to BR when I first heard about it, but love what they managed to pull off with BR 2049. Exceeded my expectations so much. Not better than the original, but a brilliant companion piece.
  • Interesting. Mine now goes: 1. The Dark Knight 2. Batman Begins 3. The Prestige 4. Dunkirk 5. The Dark Knight Rises 6. Memento (enjoyed a rise lately) 7. Interstellar 8. Inception 9. Insomnia 10. Following

  • I predicted this would be the month we see new concrete Bond news, but of course like anything else, that's total guesswork. The longer we wait without any confirmations, the more likely a delay becomes sadly. It's hard to stay optimistic when almos…
  • @001 “Soon” as in Revelation 22:12 soon? Sorry couldn’t resist.

  • I have nothing wrong with a positive take either like @bondjames has. We are all allowed to express ourselves how we want. Let’s not go at each other over stupid things.
