I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I think the fact like they smell like a used McDonald's milkshake beaker that's been repurposed as an ashtray might be a dead giveaway in an enclosed space.

I was in Weymouth when they filmed the harbour scenes for Dunkirk. I can't remember for the life of me were he got it, but my friend ended carrying around a fluffy pink teddy bear and we spent a good 20 minutes drunkenly walking around the set pieces lining the harbour trying to find somewhere to hide it where it might go unnoticed on the off chance that it made it into the background in the film.
Alas, we ended up just hurling it into someone's open second floor window and running away.

Doom. FPS sequence at the end. The rest of the movie is total garbage.

Dude, I don't know what your problem is. Maybe you have a lot going on in your life right now, maybe you're on medication which affects your perception. Whatever. Have a nice evening.

In the 3 days we were there. Not in total.

I'm remembering a scene from Kung Fu where Caine has to walk across a stretch of rice paper on gravel without tearing it.

Probably one of the best movies ever made. When I was 19 I'd broken up with my GF and was seriously depressed. My mom took me on a seaside break to one of my favourite childhood holiday spots to cheer me up. Shawshank was one of the 3 VHS tapes that the caravan we stayed in had to offer. I think I watched it 5 times.

Yeah, when we first started dating I convinced my GF to watch it. She'd always been reluctant as she knew it's a Stephen King story and assumed it was a horror. She cried at that scene.

Sorry, I don't get your meaning at all. What about my thread is "stirring the pot?" This is a discussion forum. I am inviting discussion. If you don't want to be a part of that discussion, no one is forcing you to be.

I wasn't saying it was, I was asking for opinions on it.

Beastmaster? Yes. S&S? Close, but not for me.

Yes, I've read the books, but I'm talking about the movie.

Dunno, credits are rolling on SatS as I type this and I think I might actually like it more. There were a lot of badass moments in it that I know will stick in my memory. The effects are definitely not great, but I wouldn't say any worse than Conan's. Both are limited by their budgets and era. The sets and costumes also seem more elaborate to me.
It's definitely one that I can see myself rewatching from time to time.

The Warrior and the Sorceress is far better in terms of story than Conan is, if not in terms of acting and effects.

Why? Other than Schwarzenegger, what makes it stand out from the rest?

Yeah, lost my dad to emphysema when I was 13 as a result of him smoking like a trooper for 43 years, so I'm familiar with the smell and you're right; way worse.
Still not gonna get away with vaping in a cinema though.
