The movie thread
1Can't believe we don't have a thread for this...movies are America's real favorite religion.
With Turk's Discount Church a close second. And he'll even sit in the back row in a trench coat, if you ask him nicely.CaptSMRT wrote:...movies are America's real favorite religion.
No trench coat pervs in Turk's Discount Church... we're picking up a lot of business from pissed off Catholics, though... I always told those fuckers that I'd own them some day.JMC-STL wrote:With Turk's Discount Church a close second.

Jim Carrey single handedly murdered cinematic comedy. If only The Duck Factory had been renewed for Season 2, Ace Ventura (both incredibly annoying versions) & The Mask & Dumb and Dumber (One & To) would've all remained in the concept stage.CaptSMRT wrote:... I miss the 80's when comedies ruled the screen. I don't think there have been many true comedies released since Old School.
He was really good in The Amazing Burt Wonderstone, which is a funny movie.JMC-STL wrote:Jim Carrey single handedly murdered cinematic comedy.

Turk's Discount Church should have a "#MeToo Sunday" promotion. Instead of a sermon, you could show a Roman Polanski triple-billing. Maybe he'd agree to reprise his uncredited role at "Detective Revi" in Rush Hour 3. Nothing funnier these days than a Chris Tucker-Jackie Chan reunion.Turk Sanderson wrote:Speaking of pervs... I always liked Woody Allen comedies back in the day.

So what sort of bottle did you have in your hand while you were enjoying them so much?T.C. wrote:those tucker/chan films were magic in a bottle. you couldn't recapture the pairing or tone today. best to let them live in timeless infamy. i love them.
I agree. Too much reliance on special effects that exceed any semblance of believability, rather than focusing on good writing, directing, and acting.Turk Sanderson wrote: Mon Sep 03, 2018 6:44 pm Movies suck these days... too much bad acting and overdone special effects.
Got it - that's One Thumb Up for Hollywood deaths.CaptSMRT wrote: Sat Sep 08, 2018 12:06 am The Last Movie Star, starring Burt Reynolds.
I thought it was an interesting take on an aging actor...it ends up being kind of a watered down version of Lost in Translation. Considering the guy died, I would recommend watching.
