Great movie. It was Patricia Highsmith's debut novel. She is an awesome writer. Wrote the Tom Ripley series, which is also brilliant.
I like the Morby, Callahan, and Friko albums too. Saw them open for Modest Mouse and Flaming Lips and didn't know who they were. Great new band.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is one of my all time favorites. Never thought it got the credit it deserved. Funnyfarm with Chevy Chase is great. Matewan by John Sayles. Matchstick Men with Cage is one of his best movies but rarely never gets mentioned in his best of.

$8.99 with ads. WTF are the ads for? I get Spectrum through my condo HOA dues and that comes w/ a ton of +ads streaming like DIsney+, Peacock, Paramount+, HBO, etc. Netflix and Prime are not remotely worth it.
Didn't they fire Tom Hardy? What's the point of watching when you know S. 3 will go to shite w/ that character gone?

It was a brilliant movie. Legit creepy. Amy Madigan deserved her Oscar. Thought the other actors were great too. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years. The cop and the meth head were hilarious too.

Came here to post that.



I'll go with Tommy Bolin and Mick Ronson (don't understand why Bowie ever let him walk).

They? Only 72 year old Neil Schon is with "Journey" now. They are basically a mediocre cover band. I don't get the desire to see the current pathetic versions of once great bands.

There goes any hope that Zendaya would play Chani instead of Zendaya.


She did that in the first two and they still managed to be good. How this woman gets cast in Dune and The Odyssey is beyond me. This movie looks awesome.

That's good to know. When I first heard this announced I figured it was an original script and be some trash like Gladiator 2. Actually excited for this now. I like the cast so far.


I was very skeptical when I first heard about the movie on this board but posters noted the story is by Michael Mann and Edgar Award winner Meg Gardiner so I'm in unitl I find out Neil McCauley is played by Elliot Page.

Not a fan of that town or campus. And how do you not have any good restaurants downtown (well, maybe a steakhouse)? Guy Fiere's? LOL
I didn’t like or care for the characters or what would happen to them and quit watching about 1/2 hour in.


Truman Sinclair's latest. He is pretty good. Like his album and EPs.
I am sick of the superhero genre in general and the multiverse in particular but that script could be interesting. I enjoyed the fight scene in Civil War at the airport and the FF universe in general.
RIP. What a great character. It was so funny when that dude was trying to get the other side to just trust him...just walk away.

I mentioned Courtney Barnett's Creature of Habit but I'm changing it to Wes Parker's Super Rare. Great album start to finish despite the strange interludes between songs.

1950s: Elvis Presley (1956)
1960s: Revolver (1966)
1970s: Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
1980s: Purple Rain (1984)
1990s: Nevermind (1991)
2000s: Is This It (2001)
2010s: Modern Vampires of the City (2013)
2020s: Creature of Habit (2026)...its my favorite album of 2026 so why not.

I refuse to pick albums i don't like.
Interesting. Just read a very good GQarticle about his favorite books and he lists GI Joe as one. Looks like that may be a pay article but you can view it in apple news if you have an iphone. The books were The Lords of Discipline (awesome), Hollywood Godfather, The Dark Tower (awesome) Pop. 1280 (awesome), The Dying Earth, Blood Meridian (awesome), and the GI Joe Comics. Since I love several of his favorites, I am going to give Hollywood Godfather a read and maybe even the fantasy series Dying Earth. Also, they should make every Jim Thompson book into a movie.
