Re: Recently viewed movies
For the record - Kevin Spacey - not a fan. He's one of those people that annoy me, for unclear reasons.Jocephus wrote:was it a slight?...considering this is only his voice...JL21 wrote:My friend is fond of saying that "Moon" is the best role Kevin Spacey has had since "American Beauty".Jocephus wrote:i watched "moon" last night...very good..."thriller" with some funny moments...i was surprised about GERTY

Maybe its because of American Beauty or Pay it Forward. Or that he's too good at his famous roles of douche antagonist. Or maybe I sense he's well-cast that way because he is a douche.
Anyhow, I wish I didn't know he had a bit in Moon.

Yeah, definitely a dig at Spacey.
Usually he'll follow it up with "Unless you thought he was good in The Shipping News or K-Pax".

Don't let it bother you at all. He's just a voice.Freed Roger wrote:Anyhow, I wish I didn't know he had a bit in Moon.

Re: Recently viewed movies
Has anyone seen "La Bamba" and care to share their opinion? I haven't seen it but it's at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and I remember a lot of "critical acclaim" or whatever about it when I was a kid.

I enjoyed Moon in spite of watching it over a course of 4 evenings. So it came across disjointed at times -like when Rod Serling would like this one.
The short film Whistle on the DVD was pretty good too.

You must not have taken Spanish in high school. I think we watched that movie at least once a month for all four years. I'm surprised that it's that high on RT. It's a solid movie but not one I would go out of my way to see or consider a classic. Must be a lot of 2.5/4s or something. Lou Diamond Phillips' imdb page post La Bamba and Young Guns is pretty funny.JL21 wrote:Has anyone seen "La Bamba" and care to share their opinion?

It's a by the numbers bio-pic. This happened, then that happened, etc.... It's pretty much just like watching the Buddy Holly bio, only it's Richie Valens.
