Just watched Apocalypse Now for the first time. What's all the hype? That movie sucked. I just saw that last year, I agree. Sucked.

Its the chaos of the Vietnam War vs the CIA/Harrision Ford meeting vs Kurtz pissing off the CIA when he orders the assignation of some viet-con officers. John Milius, writer/director of Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn, wrote the screenplay for Apocalypse. He wrote a bunch of dialogue for the original Jaws. Production of Apocalypse took like 280 days. Martin Sheen had a heart attack so they had to stop fliming. Harvey Keitel was fired before Sheen. Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen and James Caan turned the movie down. $31M budget, $150M at the box office. Movie wasn't for everyone. "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" is the documentary done by Coppola's wife. Almost s crazy as the movie. Artsy fartsy stuff isn't for me. Just entertain me for a couple of hours!

Agree with Fletch that the voiceovers are a cheat and there was a lot of "atmosphere." Not surprised that any of those three would turn down a movie that was implying US involvement in Vietnam was motivated by greed and moral failures - not the ivory trade in the Congo, but other trades with a different shade of brown people as antagonists.

It was a 70s movie, character driven. It kinda played out as a fantasy movie. I don't need an incredible plot to carry me through a movie. I thought the acting was great and it confirmed my feelings about the Vietnam war, just a load of shiite with no real end. Not Sheen nor Duvall's best work but I like them both.

I didn't read every post here so if I'm repeating anything I'm sorry. A few teammates have been telling me to start watching shameless! I started it last nite & OMG Frank (played by William H. Macy) is such a douchebag, but I Fawking love him!! Anyone out there who's feeling guilty about something, should just watch Frank's character. Your guilt leaves you pretty quick. Also, there's some smoking hot woman in this thing with nice boobies & they show them a lot! The one who plays Veronica is Wowza! But, all the characters except the 3rd or 2nd youngest of Frank's kids are pretty good. Even Joan Cusak's character is pretty fawked up! But, Macy makes this show! Lol

In an effort to find something new, I came across "The Leftovers" on HBO. It's very weird, but I'm enjoying it. I hadn't heard of it before. Three seasons tell the story of the Earth after 2% of the population suddenly disappeared. There are some really strange things that have happened so far (I'm on the second season) but it's pretty compelling.
nite I tried watching Shameless as many of my friends like it also. It didn't hold me as it felt like there were just too many things they were trying to force into each character, but yeah, the tits are really nice.

Lol Lost interest in Shameless, it was good at first but then got really out of control. Emmy Rossum is a trashy little star in it.

I was wrong. I thought I would be disappointed in Dunkirk but it was very good. It's a clever film that follows different characters and weaves their stories together. So you really have to pay attention because the timeline slings back and forth. It's a nice, tight movie with zero scenes that do not contribute to the film. It's true, as others have said, that there is little dialogue and character development. But there is enough dialogue and all of it matters. As for the lack of much character development (there is some), I think that's fine in this case. You often see their character on display throughout the film. Don't go in expecting a historical retelling of Dunkirk and you'll like it.

I watched half an episode on and off when someone else had it on once. I hate that crap - make you laugh because you're uncomfortable. I think of it in connection to British comedies like the Office, and sure enough, Shameless was a British show - though I can't remember what it was called in Britain. Not my thing.

All I want for tonight is for Mark to win the POV and take himself off. At least once Mark leaves, the others should start turning on themselves. The last four weeks have sucked. Jessica, Cody, Elena and Mark being evicted was so predictable.

Jessica, Cody, Elena and Mark being evicted was so predictable. I've been waiting for someone to take the big swing, but they're all pussies, just hanging around doing whatever the gang wants. Yeah, that idea screwed Cody, but come on. Sending Mark out is dumb. Christmas should have put Paul or Alex up there. And mother of fucking God do I hate Josh. He's the biggest wussbopper I've seen on this show since I don't know when. Can't think of a man that cried so much.

No wonder he likes his mom so much.

Jesus fucking Hamsterwatch, you should all give your balls a tug. It's a fun show. It's not a century masterpiece, just fun. The best part is that it's on three times a week during the hockey off season. I've been watching it for about a decade now. I love it.

The Hamsterwatch shout out was my way admitting i've done my time with it. I just got tired of it - too much of the same as people fall into the different roles defined in the early seasons like the guy who wants to be Boogie or Dr. Will or Chicken George. Meh. Like "The Force Awakens", I saw that show a long time ago. If I want to watch stupid people be nasty to each other, I just come here!

My latest is Defiance. It's no Game of Thrones or even Falling Skies, but it's a fun Scifi show.
