    I knew this was a Ghostz thread just from the title alone. He's still in that phase where he thinks if he tells you how much he's spending in steaks, shoes and iphones you will be impressed. Most people grew out of that phase in their teens but this guy gets excited about seeing an animated childrens mario movie so there's no hope. :trump2:

    I don't read these things thoroughly. I legitimately thought it was Jerry. :D I was like 'why tf is Jerry bragging about this and how does he have $300 lying around?'

    Those two Romero zombie classics are not high cinema... quite the contrary but definitely the top tier of B-movies. I can't believe you can just watch the full movies on youtube. I watch them all the time. Haha. 

     

    Those movies could count.  

     

    I just saw the movie Martin yesterday by Romero. A really weird yet somewhat enjoyable movie. It's about a modern day teenage vampire visiting a relative in Pittsburgh. But the way the whole thing and dialogue plays out was...really weird. As if the movie is mocking itself yet being serious at the same time. Campy doesn't even begin to describe it lol.

    A really good (and long) classic cinema film I watched is Russian director Tarkovsky's "Andrei Rublev". Also a gorgeous black and white movie. Well worth the watch.

    One of the best movies I've seen. Unforgettable cinematography and deep story to go along with it. I think they haven't made a movie that beautiful even to this very day. Crazy that it was 1966.

    I've never actually sat down and watched Barry Lyndon, so I am hoping there's some upcoming 4K blu-ray remaster, because that would be incredible.


    There's a website in which you click a button, and it shows you a random still frame from the movie, to demonstrate just how drop-dead gorgeous it looks.  Every single frame looks like a classical painting.

    LOL you call this gorgeous?

    I barely watch anything these days. I did rewatch Spartacus from Stanley Kubrick/Kirk Douglas not long ago.

     

    And I want to rewatch the first two Planet of the Apes. It's been a while. 

    I go on and off. Sometimes I watch a lot, other times I watch nothing. Kubrick has to be the most impressive director. Guy was a Mozart like genius. Spartacus is one of his few movies I never saw the whole way, and I plan to do it soon. A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut...all unspeakable masterpieces. 

     

    Regarding planet of the apes, I hope you're talking about the 1960s version. One of my favorite movies ever. 

  6. I just saw Citizen Kane again last night. I now rank it MUCH higher than I did before. Still not the best movie ever like some ridiculously claim, but it's superb.

    Shout-out to The Conversation, one of the best gateway films to real fucking cinema imo.

     

     

    I literally can't get into that movie and have to turn it off 30 minutes in each time.

     

    It's literally just characters wordlessly staring off into space. 

  8. Continued from sugarhigh's thread. Been watching A LOT of old movies lately. 

     

    Double Indemnity is one of the best classic film noirs I've ever seen. Very gripping and non-pretentious, unlike steaming forgettable trash like The Big Heat and The Big Sleep. Made me instantly want to watch more Billy Wilder as it was my first time watching a movie by him.

    Luis Buñuel also 🎨

     

    Should I watch L'Age d'or? 

    I switched to another movie close to the intro, right after the movie opened with scorpions fighting in heated combat. 

     

    I guess I liked Charme discret de la bourgeoisie and Cet obscur objet du desir but found them mostly...  forgettable years later. Now that I think of it, same even for Un chien andalou. 

     

    If a director's movies don't stay with me, linger in my mind, I can't like them no matter how "well made" they are.

    Who cares if it takes a year, two or ten? I'm selling games now. I'm making money now. If you have a constant flow of stocks it becomes irrelevant.

    Hope you're not serious. 

     

    Length of time of inventory sold has a direct impact with if it makes sense to do. 

     

    If you could've earned all or most those profits by just clicking a button (buying S&P500 stock) and waiting 10 years later, you effectively wasted your time, energy, and resources and also endured extra risk.
