The soundtrack is quite mesmerizing, isn't it? Some of the people she talked to on the streets from the truck - not actors, had no idea they were shooting a movie.

Just reading a review that pointed out that the music playing during all of her "harvests" is the same that plays at the end with the logger.

The Imitation Game - the birdie putt lips out and a tap in for par.

Incredible story.  Good acting.  Close to being really good.

I watched Under The Skin as well. I'd give it a par. I liked it, and the unanswered stuff ( motorcycle guy, elephant boy surviving) didn't bother me too much. Very dark, very vague. The bit with the two guys in the water? creeped me out a little.

TCM showed Guess Who's Coming To Dinner last night so we watched it again. Eagle.

One of the best movies of all time, and could have been made in ANY era and still been entirely relevant (with a slight tweak to the dinner guests, obviously ;))

Regarding the above scene, from IMDB:

In the scene near the end where Spencer Tracy gives his memorable soliloquy, Katharine Hepburn can be seen crying in the background. This was not acting: she knew how gravely ill her longtime lover was and was moved by his remarks about how true love endures through the years.

Spencer Tracy died 17 days after filming was completed.

Katharine Hepburn never saw the completed movie. She said the memories of Tracy were too painful .

Another great scene:

Thanks for the recommendation.  I like Cumberbatch. I think he is a terrific actor.

Indecorous. Decorous. :-)

I liked the scenes w/him and the Commander smashing heads. Plus I geeked out seeing the machine at work and the code breaking scenes.

Mark Strong always good playing a spook.

Of course, California is prevalent in this list. Doesn't your skin get raisiny in the Hot Tube Theatre?

I saw that.  Kinda wonder what goes on in the theater with the beds. :bugout:

I'm perfectly happy with my local cinepolis (which didn't make the list) ...

Lucy - Started off as a birdie putt heading right for the cup.  Looked like it would certainly go in.  Then at the last second, it veered left and lipped out.  Scarlett and Morgan were great, but the ending was weird.

ahh yes.. that ending was very strange wasn't it?  I mean who the hell thought that ending up, and then people reviewed it and said.. yeah, that looks like a good ending?

don't want to give anything away, but I think they could have also spent some time exploring her powers more, even though she was on a time limit (which was a stupid constraint in my mind)

Frank.

Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhal, the kid from About Time. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, very eclectic, but I enjoyed the goofiness, humor, music and seeing the creative (or not) process at work.

Birdie. It's on Netflix Instant (US).

So @nevets88 , I watched both Coherence and The One I Love, both were birdies. Loved Coherence, the weirdness of the situation was way nerve wracking, and then the wife loved The One I Love, I did too, the ending was great.

    • Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.
    • Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least. 
    • +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in. 
    • 9 years and counting. Lil chipped paint here and there but still going strong. Also have an 18 deg driving iron that I got a couple of years ago which is doing well too. @iacastried it and I think he liked it.
    • For PING to assemble and ship it? It's a 3H. Yea, the new club has more loft. How do you like that, 2H?
