OT: Over and Over

[aphilso1]

On top of the pandemic, I've now lived through a 5.7 magnitude earthquake (biggest in 30 years in Utah, apparently).  Who needs to watch movies?  Real life is weird enough.

 

On a related note, does anyone else live in Northern Utah?  I've only been here three weeks.

Wow. That's wild.

Morning movie report: Couldn't find any Brad Pitt to watch so went to another favorite, Jeff Bridges and watched "Bad Times at the El Royale" last night. It was pretty good and long enough to pass some time. It was not a Tarantino film but seemed like one since it was …..a little violent. It didn't make my top five Bridges movies though. If anyone is interested they are 1. The Big Lebowski, 2. Hell or High Water, 3. True Grit, 4. Seventh Son, 5. Blown Away.

I believe you speak of Snake Plissken, Sir.

Bridges is brilliant in “Crazy Heart” as Bad Blake...

I forgot the Big Lebowski, Miller’s Crossing, Fargo and Blood Simple on my list.  The Coen brothers had to write the “Dude” with Jeff Bridges in mind!

I always thought he was pretty good in "The Fisher King".

Oops wrong guy, this self isolation needs to be spent studying actors!

 

Okay What No Thunderbolt and Lightfoot?

[jimmykc]

Better choice, and one I have not yet seen myself. It was directed by Michael Cimino who was good, then bad. And it also has two more of my favorites, Clint Eastwood and Gary Busey.                  https://journalstar.com/entertainment/books/review-busey-book-goes-beyond-biography/article_c03a2b91-1783-5b03-9386-243331457066.html

Guilty pleasure movies!

     Under Siege-  Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey revel as bad guys

     The old Esther Williams swimming movies, to quote Brent Musberger, “Whoa,          what a beautiful woman!”

Morning movie report: With no sports to talk about, I'll pass on my recommendation to skip "The American", a 1:45 waste of time with George Clooney and a bunch of Italians. The plot was obtuse (or unintelligible) to say the least although Silverback and Standhardinger might like it for its dose of a tad of Euro soft-core porn. I have also reviewed the favorites of others listed above and would like to thank Navin (of course) for not forgetting "The Jerk". For others desiring a laugh tonight I might recommend "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" for another glimpse of Steve Martin and Michael Caine at their best. And that's my report for today.
