Son of Saul (2015)
Hungarian film. Really powerful. Camera work is entirely First Person POV (with variations). Won Best Foreign Language Film at the 2016 Oscars.

Saw Spectre yesterday. What a piece of crap. However, I really enjoyed Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace -- two of my most favorite James Bond movies of all time. Daniel Craig is also my favorite James Bond. Sean Connery was awesome but I never liked his James Bond movies. In fact, I'm not really a James Bond fan. agree casino royale and quantum were good. spectre was just eh...

Even better is to reveal the real original stories. The Little Mermaid? The prince marries another woman; the little mermaid turns into sea foam and can receive a soul but only if she serves mankind for another 300 years. Sleeping Beauty? The prince (or king) rapes her while she is sleeping, and the pain of childbirth is what wakes her up. Cinderella? The birds peck out the eyes of the stepsisters after they mutilated their own feet in order to fit them into the glass slipper. The original fairy tales (Grimm and others) were great. Chock full o' cannibalism, murder, incest, rape, thievery, torture, and more cannibalism. wolfgang ... liking ur own post? really?

In the classic movie category, just watched The Professionals (1966). Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Jack Palance, Woody Strode, and Claudia Cardinale (who I briefly met in - I think - 2009 at a Sergio Leone retrospective in L.A. Around 70 at the time, she was still stunning). Great adventure flick with a fun twist.

Saw Straw Dogs (2011) yesterday. This was a remake from the classic 1971 Sam Peckinpah original (starring Dustin Hoffman). I was looking for the 1971 original everywhere and couldn't find it. Finally, I tried youtube and there it was!

If a movie was made about a VTer, who would have the best story line?

It should be about some bitter redneck who is:
pro school prayer (but who has no problems with killing) pro gun (but not for minorities) anti-abortion (but he himself had his girlfriend get an abortion) anti-government (but receives welfare checks and steals social security checks from the elderly) closet supporter of Aryan Brotherhood (or KKK, whichever HQ is closest) homophobe (but he himself has certain "urges," if you know what I mean) pro Rebel flag anti Affirmative Action (even though he himself is 1/16 African-American but doesn't know it) anti Immigration (even though his grandma and grandpa immigrated to this country after WWI)

Why was Popstar's run so short? Did it really do that poorly? Is this some marketing strategy? I heard it was good, but it was gone before I went to see it.

I don't know what Popstar is. It sounds awful.
