Don't worry, I'm just using my artistic licence there

, I know you're a nice guy, just that I imagined that when reading your post, that TX was getting talked to by an elder LMAO. Don't mind me.

No problem...

I try to be a gentleman here. Never trying to be offensive. Maybe it doesn't always come out that way when giving an opposing opinion.

Ya, that's the prb w the internet and reading posts, can't really pinpoint one's tone sometimes. Like I said, don't worry, I just read it that way lol even though you were being straightforward/non-offensive.

Definitely would be, I wonder who I'd rather be, the guy who loves virtually everything, or the other guy who hates...oops, vociferously dislikes, virtually everything.

If it had to be, of course I’d rather like the movies I watch rather than to dislike movies, but it’s not realistic to think you’d like everything. That’s where the ‘in between’ comes in.

It got me to thinking... There are certain films that I truly enjoy and will watch repeatedly when randomly channel surfing. Here's a few:
Anything from John Carpenter: The Thing, Escape from NEW York, Big Trouble in Little China
To Live and Die in LA
anything from John Hughes - 16 Candles, Uncle Buck, Breakfast Club, Weird Science
Aliens
It Follows
Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America
Predator, Terminator Judgment Day

There's more but these come to mind.

The Mummy/Mummy Returns.

They can be on repeat and I will watch them all day long. In fact, I swear my brain used to remember that like TBS or TNT one of them used to do that before the third one came out. They played the first Mummy on repeat like every other day it felt like.

Esteban · 09-07-2023, 02:38 PM

I'm probably in the minority here but I liked the 2017 "The Mummy" with Tom Cruise. The actor who played the mummy is Sophia Boutella, also in Atomic Blonde.

Of course I like the Brendan Fraser series of mummy movies as well.

UncleWede · 09-07-2023, 04:38 PM

Hey, TXSTYLE , isn't it about time for Dune???? <jumping up and down, wagging my tail>

Agreed! Those particular films and films that combine: Action, Comedy and or SciFi and fantasy with humor are always solid for me.

Unfortunately, we have to wait beyond this Christmas.
The strikes and Sag-Aftra have caused it's delay into next Spring.

But here's some good news Unc. If you haven't seen the trailer for REBEL MOON, watch it now, preferably on a TV or larger screen, and tell me what you think?

tranquility · 09-07-2023, 07:27 PM

How about Road House? That has gotta be up there

Only TWO screenings to show that much that was in the trailer??? I’m gunna need some Depends!!!

But I’m in

flybigjet · 09-11-2023, 10:14 PM

"Painkiller" on NetFlix. It's a dramatic series of six or so episodes.

If you don't want to reach for the torches and pitchforks after watching it, you aren't paying attention.

Although Matthew Broderick being cast as Richard Sackler sort of weirded me out. My wife and I had just watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and all I could think of while watching him in "Painkiller" was..... "THIS is where Ferris Bueller ended up? What happened to Cameron and Sloane?"

Although not a film but an incredible sci-fi, fantasy series: FOUNDATION is amazing. You will enjoy it my friend.
