I thought the pacing was way off, especially at the end, I agree.

The recent cut is sub-subtitled "The Death Of Michael Corleone" and cuts out Michael's death scene. Anyone else notice that just before the helicopter attack, a guy locks the doors of the room... from the inside? Secretly suicidal conspirator, or sloppy filmmaking? I lean toward the latter.

It's a terrible rush job of a movie made by someone who didn't want to make it in the first place.

I feel the 1998 remake of Psycho was an experimental film at heart. Sure, the experiment failed, but (as I see it) it doesn't mean it wasn't worth a try.

I would love to see a faithful remake of Day Of The Dead, similar to Tom Savini's version of Night Of The Living Dead. It wouldn't have to be shot for shot, but it would be great to have one that told the same story in a more streamlined way. But I know it will never happen.

I'd go for the crowd showing.

Good for her!

Oh yeah. There was a relatively recent short story of his with a kid in it that was just a bit over the top with the adult thinking. It's definitely one of King's tendencies.

I see what's going on now. The screenshot provided in the OP is revealing.

I understand they are enthusiastic. I'm just describing the reality. I see five links in a row of one obscure young artist, and I think a bot is spamming. Therefore, I'm not clicking. At worst it looks like possible malware, at best it definitely looks like paid promotion. Either way, I'm ignoring it. And it seems I'm not the only one annoyed.

If this particular artist is great, post their best song or two, not everything they've recorded. It makes each song less special.

It's much like printing out many copies of a list of every song on your playlist and passing them out in public. It's nice that there's so much enthusiasm for music, but no one is really blown away by the fact someone says they like "The Final Countdown" and "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Some people, like myself, are not clicking on them because it looks like you're a bot that's spamming the subreddit. Do you understand that? Others are methodically downvoting your posts, and soon some of them will be reporting your posts.

You've posted dozens already. If you're posting dozens and dozens of songs, then it's impossible to tell which ones you think are truly special. It looks like you're linking every song you've ever heard and halfway liked. I'm glad you like music. That's wonderful. But you don't need to post a link to every song you and your friends like. Just my opinion.

I've noticed it too, and haven't clicked on any of them. Honestly, it looks like you're a bot spamming malware links.

I am surprised too. But whether or not you were attracted to the material itself, you knew you were getting a AAA Hollywood Blockbuster with the original, and I guess the same thing was at play here. (I haven't seen the sequel.)

I think it looked surprisingly good in HD. Part of what it got right was the cliffhanger aspect. Every ten minutes or so someone is in terrible danger with no way out, but of course they do and the story races to the next point of danger. And Von Sydow is just 100% perfect casting as Ming.

5 - A personal favorite, regardless of objective quality

4.5 - An excellent film, solid on all levels and outstanding on one or more levels, has potential to become a favorite with a rewatch

4 - A very good film overall

3.5 - Enjoyable, possibly flawed on some levels or forgettable, but not a waste of time

3 - Mediocre. Good for the type of film it aspires to be but nothing truly special

2.5 - I can understand why some people would like it, or it has a few redeeming quality aspects, but overall has more bad than good

2 - Not a good movie but had one or two mildly redeeming aspects

1.5 - A bad movie with perhaps one or two aspects that weren't completely awful

1 - Terrible

0.5 - The worst of the worst, or ones that I stopped watching before the end. Something that went the extra mile when it comes to being bad

Paging Ms. Ono, Ms. Yoko Ono to the white courtesy phone.

Another polka shoegaze techno record? Kids these days...

Star Trek 1 & 2 both have excellent scores imho.

I'm sorry this happened. I know it feels bad. I've had my own music and participation in playing it rejected by a few friends now. It sucks. Sometimes people just aren't into music in the same way even if they relate well otherwise.

There's a live action movie called "City Of God" that sounds very similar to what you're describing.

Oh my goodness, I've gone to the movies alone a thousand times. There have been a number of times when I was the only one in the theater! People go to the movies alone all the time.

Well, I'll have you know I was just escorted out of Crocs.

For me, the first one that comes to mind is Aerosmith, first of two nights in Atlanta during the Pump tour. It was a tight show, and Dream On was a highlight.

It's past 1930, but Benny Goodman is the shit. "Sing Sing Sing" is a straight up awesome piece of music. Duke Ellington's "Caravan" and "Take The A Train" are also excellent. Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Count Basie... there are some really good big bands out there. If you like rock music, check out Louis Jordan too.

I can sing Goin Down pretty comfortably. Even though a few lines are definitely a challenge I can still manage to get through the song all right. I've never been able to get through singing I've Been Everywhere, though. Some line always gets me tongue twisted and I have no idea how Johnny Cash manages to sing the chorus immediately afterwards like he does. I'm usually panting for breath at that point.
