I don't think the girlfriend is gonna like Mad Max. Take her to the Emoji Movie instead. Naw. She has a much more broad palete than a lot of people are age. She digs old movies so she should be good with the pacing and she also loves Fury Road so I think if nothing else she'll find the series roots interesting.  It's amusing to think 1941 could have ended Steven Spielberg's career before it had even started. It's that bad. The action scenes are great. The special effects are great. The music is great. But there's no comedy. It has the bare minimal of a story. The characters are indistinguishable. There's too much shouting, screaming and explosions. It has rapid editing, giving nothing any breathing room. It's a fucking disaster. If you told people this movie was from the guy who had just made Jaws and Close Encounters, they'd think you were lying. Only explanation for 1941 is that it was obviously made unders pounds of cocaine. Nail on the head. The film is fucking bombastic. I couldn't believe what I was watching. People lump it and New York, New York together, but at least Scorsese's cocaine-fuelled mess has a story with clearly defined characters. |

Yeah, "good, not great" is the perfect descriptor for The Sting.

This movie found a new lease on life when the U.S. government mishandled the coronavirus.

Spielberg cast the studio head’s wife so they wouldn’t shut down this troubled production.

Amity Mayor: We're a summer town. We need summer dollars.
Universal doesn’t have the balls to re-release this movie in theatres next month.

The personality/chemistry on these three guys is great. It’s what takes the movie to the next level.

I’ve pointed this out before. There’s very little John Williams music in this movie. This is the first scene in which the score kicks in — which just happens to coincide with the first scene in which they got the mechanical shark to work.

The USS Indianapolis scene. The basis for that great Nicolas Cage movie.
