Dune 2:Electric Boogaloo was very good. We were trying to get up to Wilmington to see it on faux IMAX, but between my son's job and various familial illnesses, we settled on the standard screen in town. Now I wonder if there will be more...
On another very different note, I pulled out my DVD copy of Schindler's List (finally got my PS3 controller to charge so I could use the disc player in it). Not much to add other than it's still very striking and holds up extremely well. I read a few contemporary reviews that mentioned "English stage actor" Ralph Fiennes played the camp commandant - then remembered it was his first major role. Interestingly enough, the film was split over two DVDs...which was kind of strange.

There actually is a bit of an element of that. I like to sit with the wife, with a bottle, and just trash movies that aren't good...and I sort of use this thread to keep notes for myself. Once a movie crosses into the un-serious zone, then I'm comfortable talking over inane parts of it...mikey, I'm worried about your film selections. You seem to purposefully choose trash movies and then get mad when they are trash.
I'm not actually mad at them, it's more 'complain-ment entertainment' haha

Sounds like fun. One of my favorite bad movies is The Core. I don't know why but that movie is a blast to watch.There actually is a bit of an element of that.

Watched the new 4k remaster of Rawhead Rex and it's amazing to me that this can look better than what James Cameron can do with his true lies and aliens 4k remasters (he loves scrubbing grain and making everyone look plastic). I had the vhs and burned DVDs of this movie all my life and I have no idea how I got them as it was a difficult movie to find, but it's always remained one of my favorites.
@mikey you may want to add this to your movie nights, rightfully so, it won the Oscar for best pic in 1986

Wilder and Pryor were my favorite movie duo growing up. I loved literally everything they were in together.

is that your first time watching it?Watching the 70’s Wonka with the kids. Gene Wilder is just unbelievably good.
The original Wonka is one of my favorites of all time and Wilder’s Wonka is one of my favorite characters of all time. Every time he sidesteps a question with some random aside I lose it
“What is this Wonka; some kind of fun house?”
“Why? Are you having fun?”

I totally agree with what you said above, “All questions must be submitted in writing” along with his deadpan “oh no, don’t” every time one of the kids is doing something terrible. I also appreciate the manic shouting on the boat ride and at the end with the “you get nothing!”

Pure Imagination is one of the.......... three? best original songs ever written for a movie imo.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson offered the role of James Bond. https://www.nme.com/news/film/new-james ... on-3603268
I was just wondering about that. I was thinking Callum Turner or maybe even Theo James would make good Bonds.

haha, my brain read "Callum Turner" as "Channing Tatum" and thought you were drunk.

Yeah, 'I'm a trifle deaf in this ear' is a go to in our household. But as quotable as the movie is, it's Wilder's deliveries that make them iconic. His performance is flawless, IMO.is that your first time watching it?Watching the 70’s Wonka with the kids. Gene Wilder is just unbelievably good.

“Help. Police. Murder.”
“Stop. Don't. Come back.”
“A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men.”
“So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.”
“Oh, you have questions? Let me drop everything.”
“So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
