Fish Folk Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Does anyone else remember the aquarium laboratory scene from the original Godzilla?? Every time someone comes over... before opening my room... I’m like Dr. Serizawa, “Do you want to see what I’ve been working on?” 🏴☠️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen all of the at one time or another, starting with Episodes IV of course...then 20 something years later there was Episode I...I was always confused. 🤷🏼♂️ So this time, we started with two seasons of The Mandlorian and the on to Episode I The Phantom Menace and straight through every night to the last one, Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. I consider it on of the great pop culture achievements of my life. 😉 Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adore Christopher Nolan, but I found the movie hard to follow. Maybe I had fish on the brain. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Jennifer V, I had to watch TENET more than half a dozen times, and read about it, to really understand the whole thing. I'm still finding new details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameCzar Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I'm a movie nut, from classics to below B quality from any country in the world. My favorite movie of all time is TRON. I actually have a nice collection of TRON memorabilia including an Identity Disc signed by Tron and Yori. One day I'll get it all properly displayed and share some pics. My favorite "fish" themed flick I'd have to say is the Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Tanked Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I don't have a best movie list, too many contenders. I have some kind of a link to 3 of my favorites. Sci-Fi: Close Encounters will probably remain my favorite Sci-Fi film. I have climbed the Devil's Tower. Sport: Breaking Away. Bloomington, Ind. is semi close and I used to be into cycling. Milan is closer so Hoosiers gets a runner up. Christmas: A Mammoth Christmas. It's funny, and I was invited to see the premier showing @GameCzar I did not think anyone remembered the incredible Mr. Limpet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I have never seen The Princess Bride! (((Hangs head in shame))) I have not seen as many movies as it appears you all have; I love going to the movies but it's pretty impossible for me to sit still long enough to watch a movie at home. I do have some favorites: Comedy: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Tearjerker: April Snow (Korean), A Japanese Story (Australian) Romance: A Room with a View, My Beautiful Laundrette Obsessive Sports Participation/Personal Growth: River Runner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotTunaCartel Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 8 mile is one of our favorite movies. Just realized it was on HBO max. Might be watching it for a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 @HotTunaCartel, I finally watched 8 Mile recently. I had an expectation that it would build up to the iconic song, but I was glad that it had an independent story. I really enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyGenusCaps Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 The greatest movie of all time is "Joe versus the Volcano". Also, comedies are really the only movies worth watching in my opinion. It's why I have never cared for any of the award shows*, they have no respect for comedy. None. Just a shame really, especially now that comedy is a dying art form in general. R.I.P. comedy, we had some good times, didn't we? * I make an exception to watch Ricky Gervais as the host of any award show!

Students would go in and ask for a "blackberry Coke" and they'd spike the coke with some sort of berry schnapps. Probably whatever they had on hand at the time. The food certainly lived up to the name. Legendary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
