JohnnyBlaze Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Body Double. And it was awful. This? Or is there another one? http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/movie/movie_poster/body-double-1984/large_d7P3VAAWqPYrdShefFUORmIvhkF.jpg If it's this one, it provided plenty of lusting for 12-13 year old me when it came on HBO or Cinemax back in the mid-80s. I don't remember the story really. I just remember keeping the tv volume down in the middle of the night and hoping my parents didn't walk in on me watching it in the living room!

JohnnyBlaze Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 http://www.dvdsreleasedates.com/posters/800/S/Spider-Man-Homecoming-2017-movie-poster.jpg Did you catch all the supervillain name-dropping in that? And I mean besides the Vulture and Shocker. They did a good job tying in Vulture and Shocker to the events of Avengers part 1. My only gripe (and it's a minor one) was Flash Thompson. That's no bully. He was just a rich twerp who even fat Ned could've pummeled if he tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Legend: Director's Cut One of my favourite Ridley Scott movies, and one of my most beloved movies in general. Stunning imagery, and I love the restored Jerry Goldsmith score (even though the studio choice of redoing the eventual theatrical release with Tangerine Dreams score is inspired).

Babycat Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 http://www.impawards.com/2016/posters/tarzan_ver5_xlg.jpg Grade: C"Posted Image" would be a great title for a horror/suspense flick. Cripes! Where did it go?! :oThat could be the film's tag phrase! Glad I’m not the only one. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 OK Steevo, I have you to blame for this I taped ( yes, VHS ) Body Double from HBO or Cinemax back in the 80s, and that is the only version I have seen I don't think it was ever officially released here in the USA on DVD until somewhat recently .. and never officially on blu ray here in the States So I just shelled out 39.95 for the 4K UK blu ray It'll be worth it alone foe nostalgic reasons !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, that never happened with the rectangular box channel changer that I'm talking about since it was connected by a long cable to the tv. That is, there was no remote with that one. Thank god. Here I am back in '84 or '85 watching Body Double in the darkness of the living room: http://d2v9y0dukr6mq2.cloudfront.net/video/thumbnail/E3B4x7iFxik72selm/tired-child-eyes-wink-toddler-watching-tv-harmfull-educations-abbandoned_edkrv73jg__S0000.jpg I haven't reached that level of focus or concentration since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's been reviewed here yet. Not a fan of Brad Pitt. And that's putting it mildly. It's just like the Tom Cruise syndrome. Not putting me off. I've seen a few decent movies with Pitt anyway. I understand. Anytime I like a movie with Pitt in it, he wasn't the main star. I'm thinking The Big Short, Thelma & Louise, 12 Years a Slave, and Burn After Reading. I can't think of one movie I liked of his in which he was the star. I'm thinking stuff like 12 Monkeys and Interview with a Vampire. And then there are the movies that I think I would've liked much more if he weren't in it messing it up for me. I'm thinking Se7en, Fight Club, and Snatch. I'll say this: Cruise has more movies I enjoy and his best in better than Pitt's best. And Pitt's worst is worse than Cruise's worst.

Steevo Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Wowzers, really, Fight Club was messed up for you JB? :o Ok. Both stars are way overrated I know, but at the same time I try to give each new movie a fair go. Did you see him in that IRA movie with Harrison Ford? It wasn't a total disaster... was it for you??
