Not a movie but an interesting story for those of us who love the classics. One theory as to the cause of the Davis-Crawford rivalry.

Really liked how they did Colossus in that movie. A really good straight man for the Merc.

I just got home from Deadpool the movie, and it was all sorts of fun if you're into some sophomoric humor, fourth-wall breaking moments, excessive violence in all the right ways, mocking other movie franchises, and a way hot Morena Baccarin. Deadpool the character is insane in all the right ways.

It's way better than Quantum of Solace to me. I guess I liked it more than most. Most don't like the "reboot" aspects of the plot/characters.

It's OK. Way better than Skyfall, which is the worst since the Dalton movies.
Craig had so much promise in the first 2/3rds of Casino Royale, which was a gritty "Bond you wouldn't want to know." Since then they have progressively turned him into an adolescent lover with Mommy issues and terrible judgment. Most of the Bonds declined over their incumbency, but Craig is the first one that bugged me because the character development is so lazy.

Her time on V was less impressive than in the other roles I've seen her play.

It's just my taste, then. I thought Skyfall was great fun, and I don't really remember Quantum but I'm sure it didn't turn me off like Spectre did, which seemed more like a spoof than an actual plot. As for Craig, I enjoy his acting, whereas I always found Pierce Brosnan so annoying that I kind of hoped his character would get shot in the face.
I agree that Casino Royale was probably the best of Craig's. I might have to look that one up again.

Really? I kinda liked the short hair. Maybe it's because with that haircut, it made her look like this girl who worked at one of my accounts.

Quantum was a Bourne movie that just happened to have Bond as the main character. Entirely forgettable.

I'm not anti-short hair, it's just the style she chose for that time. The short hair scenes in Deadpool she looked dead sexy.

Criterion Collection watched last week:
Made in U.S.A, Jean-Luc Godard (1966)
Difficult film to understand unless you’re in the know and clued in to Godard’s allusions to various things literary, political, geographic, and filmic. Follows the colorfully dressed and lovely Anna Karina as she investigates various crimes and criminal elements related to various gangsters. Nicely filmed, but tricky to comprehend.
Le samourï, Jean-Pierre Melville (1967)
Good French crime film!
Cul-de-sac, Roman Polanski (1966)
Very good English language dark-comedy film from Polanski. Character driven with the American, Lionel Strander, Brit, Donald Pleasence, and the French actress Françoise Dorléac. Interesting coastal/tidal setting on the English northeast coast.
Mouchette, Robert Bresson (1967) *
Dark drama of a young girl, within an impoverished and challenged family, trying to make sense of growing up in a small French community.
Branded to Kill or Koroshi no rakuin, Seijun Suzuki (1967) *
Hodgepodge Japanese organized crime/thriller that follows a contract killer (the popular Joe Shishido) as he tries to keep his sanity while figuring out who’s after him.
Playtime, Jacques Tati (1967) *
Tati’s look at contemporary life and work with Tati in the reoccurring role as Monsieur Hurlot. Comic satire on modern mores, business practices, social settings and conveniences. Built the entire set for the film, which apparently left him broke and took him three years to film.
The Fireman’s Ball or Horí, má panenko, Milos Forman (1967) *
Veiled satire on the communist system as a group of fireman try to honor their ageing former chairman. Disaster strikes in a number of different ways as the fireman attempt to keep things from totally falling and “burning” apart.
Belle de jour, Luis Buñuel (1967) *
The lovely Catherine Deneuve stars a woman confused about her sexuality and how she should deal with the uncertainty. Because of her past history frigidity develops, and her fantasy life is absorbed by sadomasochism. Is becoming a high class call girl the answer?

Saw Skullpoopl.
Yeah, that one earned its R rating.
May be worth a second viewing - a lot of the sight gags and jokes go by really fast.

Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show
I might have to check this one out. The trailers make it seem a bit cheesy on the jokes, but then again, those are trailers. I've heard it earned its "hard R" rating, so that's a plus.
