How about this one: I prefer M's reciting Tennyson in SF to Tracy reciting the 'Thy dawn' poem in OHMSS.

I got to see PHANTOM THREAD at a matinee yesterday. In terms of PTA's work, I'd put it behind PUNCH DRUNK LOVE and THERE WILL BE BLOOD, roughly on par with INHERENT VICE, but ahead of everything else. I can see the potentiality of moving it ahead of…

I will go OP over TMWTGG and YOLT over SF.

One of my favorite Pfeiffer films is STARDUST. I'm also the rarest breed of person -- i.e. those who, if pushed to choose, would go GREASE 2 over GREASE. bondjames wrote: » I quite liked Bridge of Spies as well. I didn't realize the Coens ha…

That was a choice I didn't see coming, and I was looking forward to him. Oh well. Odd they would have announced it before having everything locked. EDIT: I see now it was initially a 'in talks' sort of deal. Got it.

@bondjames How much of SUBURBICON is down to the script? Based on the reactions it seems the Coens are 0-2 as far as films on which they have sole writing credit but don't direct (the other film being GAMBIT from 2012, which was also received poorly…

@Jeffrey I generally don't pay attention to what's going on in the news, but I did catch that earlier in the week when I went to YouTube for something or other and it was listed as a suggestion (I've watched some of Peterson's lectures on mythology …

I most of all like everything up to Silva's capture. My interest dips when we move back to MI6. Briefly picks up again during the inquiry. The finale is all right. It grabs me on some watches more than others.

Thought the opener was a bit off, but each episode since that has improved. Haven't yet caught the Darrin Morgan ep from this past week, but I don't expect to be disappointed. That man is probably the closet television has come to a writer batting 1…

@JamesBondKenya Bit late, just catching up on the thread, but great review of PHANTOM THREAD! You've certainly hyped me up. I'm going to see it early next week. It's felt like too long since the underrated INHERENT VICE came out. Glad PTA is back.

1960s - Of course. Each one is sublime stuff. We'll be blessed if it can ever be equalled. 1970s - Questionable choices begin to plague moments of the films here, but in total the films still come off exceedingly well. Each is more enjoyable than…

In the days following the finale I recall reading an interview with Kyle MacLachlan where he was asked about the ending, and he said something to the effect that he knew it was near the end of the script he was given but he did not know it would be …

I'm up for a beginning of the new year ranking. The "Any of these could be my favorite on a given day" tier: 01. GOLDFINGER 02. THUNDERBALL 03. DR. NO 04. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE 05. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE The "Wouldn't cite them a…

I finished the fourth season of Black Mirror the other night. It was fine. Neither of the more recent Netflix seasons have matched the first two in quality. I recognize that BM is an anthology show, but the show seems to be becoming more of a standa…

I think I rate FRWL lower than most of the crowd here, and DAF somewhat higher, but both these matches still go to FRWL for me. @Andi1996Ruegg I envy your having only seen them once. It instantly makes your judgement valuable in such a different …

JACKIE BROWN is magnificent. I like RESERVOIR and PULP. Everything else I'll pass on (yet to see HATEFUL EIGHT). As for AVATAR I've never act had any interest in seeing it -- in the theater, at home, 2D or otherwise. (I hate the 3D experience.)

Glad it was better second time around, @bondjames. I've suspected since walking out of the theater the same would be true for me. I'll hand over the dough at some point soon and try again. I'm thinking of marathoning the rest of the films prior to. …

I was going to hold off on KILLING OF A SACRED DEER but the reviews above have me sufficiently intrigued. I'll look into it sooner rather than later. I do like A24. Mendes4Lyfe wrote: » I must admit, the first half of TDK is kinda boring too me…
