What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

With all that jungle traffic, I'm amazed they never "ran into one another" over there in "deepest darkest" Africa. I mean I know it's a BIG continent but surely Tarzan, Jungle Jim, Bomba the Jungle Boy, Sheena Queen of the Jungle, Alan Quatermain, The Phantom etc.. etc.. etc.. must of crossed paths some time. How many "elephant graveyards" and "evil tribes of cannibal headhunters" can there be? Did they take turns saving safari's or was it first come first serve? Just askin.

They took turns.

Argo. Good. I don't know if it was Best Picture good, but I enjoyed it.

East and Central Africa is a big area, brother...

'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is on TV right now.

Worf's mention of "elephant graveyards" reminds me that when I was a kid watching Tarzan and all those other jungle persons/movies I could never figure out why anyone was so interested in even one dead elephant, much less a whole graveyard full of them.
It was (many) years later that I finally caught the idea of *ivory*. Oh, that's it...

 

[Worf]

Yeah Ivory you didn't have to cut out just pick up off the ground.... "all those other jungle persons".... Hilarious, I couldn't have put it any better myself. I wish I'd hit the Lotto there's a parody of those I'd love to make!!!!

Joyeux Noel at the moment, a wonderful film about the Christmas Truce—an extraordinary event that took place in the heat of battle during World War I on Christmas Eve, 1914, when Scottish, French and German soldiers spontaneously agreed to a cease-fire and spent the holiday fraternizing and exchanging gifts. This is one of my favorite films and, even though Spring has officially commenced here, this cinematic offering with its message of goodwill, humanity and peace is never out of season.

"Tell It to the Marines" . Lon Chaney gives a fine performance as the most hard boiled of Marine drill sargents, Billy Haines is as charming as always as a green recruit, and Eleanor Boardman acquits herself well as the nurse who is their mutual love interest.

Un Chien Andalou, the 15 minute 1929 silent surrealist film by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali.
Uhmm,..all I can say is you MUST see it!

Any movie with Lon Chaney is good! I was just by his childhood home Sunday. I always think of him and his parents when I ride buy the Deaf And Blind School.

Dirty Harry

Dirty Harry

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Side by Side which is a fascinating documentary about the changes in cine technology, mainly chemical film v digital, and what it offers (or does not) to the future of cinema. Mostly a talking-heads piece, with some of todays leading directors, cinematographers and other artists in the field, interviewed (and produced by) Keanu Reeves.

Highly recommended if you have any interest in the process of film making, and the technology behind it.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

So, it's funny you bring that scene up.

I was watching the chase that leads up to it and I counted four shots. Anybody else notice this?

But he was empty when the guy said: "I gots to know."

 

[rjb1]

Yes, agree on the "only four shots" issue. I was wondering if anyone else had ever counted those. The punk would *not* have been lucky if it was in real life.

That's assuming the gun was fully loaded to begin with...

Well, it's better then those magic twenty shooter revolvers they had in the old west movies!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I reckon you're right lol

I had considered that, but he says "Did he fire six shots, or only five" So it's fairly safe to say she was fully loaded.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this lol

[hatophile]

I can't imagine Dirty Harry not having his gun fully loaded.
