Patrycja Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi, Patrycja! Not that this is earth-shattering news, but just to self-correct something. I mentioned that I saw Al Pacino in Mamet's American Buffalo live in NYC at the Roundabout in the early 80s. It was actually in 1982, @ the Circle In The Square Theatre not the Roundabout. Sorry. Hi Fan S! it's quite all right. After all this time I can see how you can get the names mixed up - 'round' / 'circle' . Well, Roundabout is staging "Waiting for Godot" right now. Except for some of its absurdist language which dates it a bit, it's still a very current play. Not bad for a first published play . "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!" cheer up Estragon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Paul Blart - Mall Cop. What a waste of 90 minutes. Kevin James' simply is not funny on the big screen and should stick to television sitcoms. 0 stars. could not have been worse than The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Mathew McConaghey. I was basically forced to go by friends (not the type of movie i would normally go to see). it was so horrific. I kept thinking, poor jennifer garner, poor thing was associated with this crappy film. i swear, at one point, they had a scene where it was raining condoms. it was atrocious. is there a negative star rating?

Ha ha ha! Good one, Misty! Yeah, this summer, the husband wants to stay in Montauk for a few. Loves the open ocean. My daughter & I prefer the bay. heh heh chickens. We also like good ol' Seaside Heights in Jerz. We stayed "Down in Seaside" last summer. Very beautiful. Hey, you should come to Brooklyn some time! Whoops, don't wanna derail the thread (no pun intended). To go to Montauk we might opt for the Long Island Railroad. But, then again, I might opt out of taking subways too far. Might be too scared: I plan to see The Taking of Pelham 1 2 & 3, speaking of movies. Saw the original--FANTASTIC! It had Robert Shaw in it. Sooo menacing. New one looks great too, with Travolta as the villain this time. Edited May 25, 2009 by Fan_S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangani Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah, this summer, the husband wants to stay in Montauk for a few. Loves the open ocean. ""One time I caught a 16 footer off Montauk. Had to stick 2 barrels in him, 2 to wear him down and bring him up!" Quint in Jaws. Whoops, don't wanna derail the thread (no pun intended).

New one looks great too, with Travolta as the villain this time. The Taking of Pelham 123 is a great underrated movie. I don't think it needs a remake though. Why does Hollywood keep 'remaking' past films which were good enough anyway???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boardwalk takes you through the dunes, great for observing the deer and other wildlife. The beach far in front of the lighthouse i think is nude (yikes), never saw it myself, but rumor has it. back to topic, i must see "Pelham" as I was orginally from Pelham Bay!

K, will do...thanks, Misty! Love dunes, boardwalks & lighthouses! Hey, if ya ever come to my neck of the woods, come see Coney Island before it's gone! It's an old-fashioned amusement park with fun, fun rides! The Cyclone rollercoaster is still operative. But, I'm sure you know all about good ol' Coney Island. Anyways, I've lived here in Brooklyn all my life, so I'm not the most objective person when it comes to Coney (where "we'll eat baloney") sorry, Gene Kelly fans. Edited May 25, 2009 by Fan_S.

redrum Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I agree..... That movie was totally satisfying to me. I have not wanted to see another "car shase" movie since. The Fast & Furious movies have not gotten me out to see them yet. You've gotta watch the car chase in 'The Seven Ups' and the original 'Gone In 60 Seconds' 'The French Connection' chase is another one.

spats Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I saw Adventureland. It was okay. It stars Kristen Stewart. She was good in it. Better than she was in that Twighlight crap. The lead guy in the movie is annoying though. He seemed to be imitating Michael Cera. Playing the awkward nerdy teen who girls are interested in anyways. Which is not realistic. It's set in the 80's at a amusement park. It was harmless. Not great but not awful either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I watched 'The Reader' last night. For the first half hour I was thinking they should have called it 'Horndog Robs Cradle' But it was a good movie. I couldn't figure out why they didn't show how or when they arrested her? I think the women camp guards were as bad as the men when it came to cruelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last movie I saw (at the movies) was Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey. It was okay. I wouldn't see it again. But the last movie I saw (at home) was Lonesome Dove. You have to put in 3 dics just to watch the whole dang movie! But its a good movie. Edited June 7, 2009 by Heartbreaker_Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Saw the Hangover. It was pretty funny. Good guy movie. Imagine that - Spats likes a film done by, starring, and intended for just men... You do surprise us. I'm probably gonna see Drag Me To Hell and The Hangover soonish. I want to see The Hangover and my boyfriend wants to see DMTH, so we've compromised - I'll go with him to see DMTH and he takes me out to see the Hangover. Two cinema trips a man will be forking out for - it's enough to bring Spats out in a sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) That's some cool lyrics. I remember when the Vegas vultures auctioned off all of McQueen's bikes and memorabilia. Assholes. In the old days, the Drive-By Truckers would perform with a tapestry of Steve McQueen onstage behind them. If so inclined, you can watch a clip of them performing the song at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA earlier this year .

Jahfin Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sound of the City: London 1964-73 (aka Rock City) I had never seen this until it aired on VH1 Classic last night. It's not something I'd go out of my way to track down but it did have it's moments. Not to mention, it appears it's never been released on DVD (or maybe even VHS, I'm not sure). This review (circa 1981) from the New York Times pretty much sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
