Ya know, it is possible for a movie to be about more than the tits on display in it, Tif.

You're asserting Under Siege is an example of this?

I'm download a ton of 80s and 90s movies for travel, and need some Steven Seagal flicks to balance out the JCVD ones I already have. Which 3-4 should I go with?
He wasn't in it long (which makes it kinda cool), but always loved Executive Decision

Looks similar to Voltron? I'm not familiar, but seeing how good Legendary's Voltron was, I'll check it out.

Quick Best Picture watch update:

Mank: shockingly boring and pointless. Beautiful, though.

Trial of the Chicago 7: enjoyable. Great performances.

Father: heartbreaking. Anthony Hopkins is incredible.

Pacific Theaters and their subsidiary ArcLight Cinemas will not be reopening their theaters post-pandemic.

:sad:

ArcLight is a great chain, with gift shops and a sit-down service restaurant at the Hollywood location (at the CineramaDome).

I just saw that and came here to @ you. What a loss. ArcLight is still my favorite theater chain and I haven’t been to one in 15 years. Hopefully another chain buys the CineramaDome.

For some reason, I watched Red Tails last night. The heroes of the Tuskegee Airmen deserved better.

It wasn't as bad as I had thought, though. Not great, and I hope the HBO Apple TV+ series at least mentions the Red Tails.

Evidently, Lucas wanted to make the film since the late 80s but couldn't get financing for a film with an all-black cast. :roll:

So he funded it himself.

My best friend and I came up with the idea of ArcLight about 5-6 years before we moved to CA. Imagine our surprise.

So it's a heist movie set during the zombie apocalypse? Sounds awesome. Would be much better if they were Romero zombies and not... whatever that is.

Remember Ice Box from Little Giants... she continued her movie career. It wasn’t weird.

According to the internet, she is a 'Nicola Tesla advocate'. So, there's that.

The wife suggested we watch the new Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer movie Thunder Force. It might just be the worst movie of all time. Horrendously bad.
