Last movie you watched......

I own the book "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" by Mark Levine and Daniel Greenberg. Basically, it's the transcript of the Chicago 7 trial. It's an amazing document. I have yet to catch the movie, but I will. It has been re-released with the movie, so you can easily pick it up or get it through the library.

Abbie Hoffman's testimony begins with:

"State your name."

"My name is Abbie. I am an orphan of America."

 

That sounds like you never saw "Stop Making Sense", the Talking Heads concert film by Jonathan Demme. You should, it's wonderful.

 

I'm OK with conversations being changed or dressed up, but major events should be kept the same.

 

I’m unclear by how you’ve worded this. Are you saying this is a Talking Heads concert film? It’s not. No Tina, no Chris, no Talking Heads.

 

I know that.

 

You saw the show live?

 

HBO

 

Watched both new highly hyped steaming movies last night.

On the Rocks on Apple+ was really good. Bill Murray was outstanding as Rashida Jones father in a father/daughter buddy movie as they sought to see if her husband was cheating on her.

Borat on Amazon Prime was as expected. A couple belly laughs, some chuckles, some gross comedy and some expected outcomes. I enjoyed it. I’ll save debate on the Rudy Giuliani scene for other threads.

 

Agreed. My wife and I watched it tonight. I liked it a lot more than she did, but it's more my kind of story and I'm a huge fan of Sorkin's work. Of course, being Sorkin, he had to recycle something, but did it have to be the stupid egg joke?

 

We did the same daily double this weekend; really enjoyed "On the Rocks" with Murray as the hilarious father and Ms. Jones doing well as the daughter; Borat was not as enjoyable to me; probably because I'm tired of the bad English speaking foreigner schtick.

 

Keaton was great in a Documentary Now! episode also playing an FBI agent. Owen Wilson was also on the episode.

 

Watched the Tom Holland/West Virginia movie on Netflix.

Meh

Not great. Not horrible.
