Last movie you watched......

You're thinking of 'Channel Z.'
It was a song by the B-52s.

 

Nope, it was the Z Channel. The other possibility was Theta Cable, but, no, it was definitely the Z Channel.

Z Channel - Wikipedia

 

Brad Garrett would have been great in The Client.

 

Darkest Hour was pretty damn entertaining. Churchill was a mensch. He was also a shitface drunk, but that’s forgivable when you’re grabbing your cock and telling the nazis to come and suck it.

 

Yeah, I'll vouch for that. My family had the Z Channel when we lived in Upland. I remember the three main pay-TV services in SoCal were Z Channel, SelecTV and ON TV.

 

Stuck in a hotel amid the bomb storm ... caught the last 45 minutes of Back to the Future. It really doesn't lose much after 33 years. It's kind of funny to hear Huey Lewis and the News sing Back in Time when the alarm clock goes off in the final scene after Marty wakes up and he's back in his bed. That song. The Sports poster in the background ... puts you in a time and place.

And while young Javier Bardem couldn't have played Doc, he just might have been able to pull off Biff.

 

The Disaster Artist is pretty damn funny and touching in its own obvious way. I’d never heard of The Room, the awful cult classic it’s based on, but will have to seek it out. Like a lot of people, I got sick of James Franco a few years ago bc he seemed to be everywhere doing everything half-assed. I enjoyed him in this. He knows how to play stupid well.

 

I believe The Room plays in a NYC theater at least once a week.

The unintentionally most funny part of The Room is when they toss the football around, and it happens a lot, but it's how they toss it around.

 

I don't base one's worth on awards, and I don't need people to tell me how to feel about a movie or actor. Otherwise, you're more than entitled to the opinions you express herein.

EDIT: I would add that I thought Waltz was terrific, and I can watch the opening scene from Basterds, all twenty minutes of it, again and again. Same with the strudel scene. But Bardem was tasked with playing a different kind of sinister. The way he played the role, he relied on other people—the gas-station attendant, Carson Wells—to be scared of him, which made him scary. In both the book and the film, that's how you know Chigurh is a nightmare: How other people act around him. Not how he acts.

 

If you didn't feel awards were important, you wouldn't have taken the time to type out 21 critics associations to justify your love for Bardem as Chigurh.

 

Not for nothing, but the Best Supporting Actor Oscar category HAS had a bunch of terrible decisions on winners.

Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) over Michael Fassbender (12 Years A Slave) a few years ago immediately comes to mind.

 

I was trying to make the case that a lot of people disagree with your assessment of his performance. That's a more qualitative way to demonstrate that than just saying "lots of people think otherwise." I mean, in this case, A LOT of people think otherwise.
