Last movie you watched......

I saw that a few months ago and didn't feeel like it was worth mentioning. I like all the actors in it, but I didn't care for the actual movie.

 

Spotlight may be the best journalism film I've ever seen, and that includes All the President's Men.

 

The Martian for the third time. I'm sure it has its criticisms, but I find it incredibly entertaining.

 

Star Wars




A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

 

Last night, my little one asked if we could watch the original trilogy before we see the new one Sunday morning. Such a proud, happy moment. She saw them all when she was very little, but doesn't really remember much.

 

Do you own them? Or did you watch them streaming from the net?

I am surprised Disney did not take the opportunity to cash in on the original trilogy before the new one by making copies available or allowing them on Netflix or On Demand or something.

 

They're cashing in on them by selling them. Even on Amazon Prime, you can't rent any of the six. You have to buy them.

 

"Spectre" last night. Fairly typical Bond movie, but certainly nothing memorable, especially the music. One thing I noticed: Usually, when things are going bad then Bond starts whooping ass and turns the tide in his favor, here comes the 007 theme music. Didn't happen in this movie.
When he blew up the secret facility in the middle of nowhere, it was too easy. He did it with his wristwatch.
My wife and I sat there by ourselves (the other 5 people on the screening room had gone) as the credit rolled past, waiting for anything fun at the end. At the very end, only "James Bond will return" came up on the screen.

 

I have Empire ... and Return .. on DVD from Netflix. No Star Wars though.

 

I hated the theme song.

 

I own them. Mrs. OOP bought me a set a few years ago. Sadly, it is the versions that Lucas fucked with. I'd forgotten just how painfully bad the scene with Han Solo and Greedo looks.

 

It's really bad. I still have the VHS tapes, the only remnant of the trilogy's original brilliance, but I have no way to play them.

My wife, saint that she is, wants to watch them all and enjoy them with me so she can see what all the hubbub is about. We watched EP IV: ANH the other day and the only parts I had to explain were the the ones Lucas added for the special editions ("Wow, that was weird" HAN SHOOTS FIRST; "Wait, didn't Greedo just just say Han dumped his cargo at the first sign of Imperial interference? Why are we watching Jabba bitch about the same shit? Oh, Jabba is a gangster? He needs some better duds. Fucking slug.")
