The "I'm watching/just watched *movie title* thread....

[UnscreenedCaller]

Here's my obligatory old geezer comment. It's a predictable statement, but I just don't see any way around it:

I feel sorry for all the kids, teens, and younger adults growing up today who will never get to experience the joy of purchasing the latest, hefty issue of OMNI to take home and devour with an intensity matched only perhaps by John D. Allegro's focus as he studied tantalizing bits of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

(Though I doubt Mr. Allegro had Dr. Pepper and Cheetos at the ready. But you never know.)

I used to haunt the newsstand every month for the latest issue. (What's a newstand? lol) I have to give Bob and Kathy Guccione a lot of credit - they put out a magazine that had people waiting on tenterhooks every month, and it rarely disappointed. I can still tick off stories that stayed with me for a long, long time and speculation that seemed outrageous at the time and commonplace now.

The Spanish Prisoner (1997)

Thanks for the tip, Zeebo.

Do series count? I've been watching The White Queen it's about the War of the Roses between the 2 royal bloodlines. I thought it was well done.

Went on to The Tudors beautiful people and wardrobes but they played hard and loose with history. I enjoyed them both and will move on to The Borgias next.

Any others in this time period that any of you would recommend?

If you like The Spanish Prisoner, you will really like House of Games, part of which was shot near  where I used to live in Seattle.

"the November Man" very solid action flick

The Pacific

A 2010 HBO miniseries focusing on our Pacific campaign during the second World War. Brilliantly done. However, it is, at times, very difficult to watch. in fact, I was overcome with emotion and could not finish this mini series.

Added.

With any luck, I will espy Tom Robbins as an unintentional extra in the Seattle frames while he was patiently working on Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas. Heh.

I am not an internet sleuth. I did three reverse image searches. The main reference is to a site called The Daily Sheeple. There were earlier references going back to 2010. But I found no info about any movie.

[rzr1911]

yeah. thanks for trying. I didn't find anything either. maybe it's not even a movie

It's from a music video by Viva Voce called "From the Devil Himself."

not a bad song.
you're Sherlock Holmes.
I've seen the Viva voce on the contract too, but didn't think it was worth to google.
I watched Bedazzled in the meantime. Satan looks damn hot in that movie.

Initially, I dismissed investigating the contract, too, thinking it was a non specific prop, but like onan, had already dead ended at Sheeple and had to take a different approach.

Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled was really at her very be(a)st. Stunning.

Atari: Game Over-2014

They go digging for the burried ET cartridges in the New Mexico desert.  Very interesting to video game nerds such as myself.

Not admitting I'm a video game nerd, but hope it's as entertaining as King of Kong.  (Ok I'm a nerd.)

I watched The World's Fastest Indian staring Anthony Hopkins. It's based on a true event about 67 year-old Burt Munro who travelled from New Zealand to the Salt Flats of Utah to try for a record on his custom motorcycle.

Also watching the Doc Martin series- way better than House, MD.

That one was pure dialogue.  I must be a little ADD because as I recall it was too much for me to follow.

Doc Martin displays some amazing Eddie Coyle personality attributes when having to deal with those annoying patients.

For the next few days, I'm watching the final season of Boardwalk Empire, season 5, and taking a break during that binge by watching Jimmy Stuart in Harvey (1950).

I have a friend who loves Lep 5, and I keep meaning to watch it but I only ever see Lep 1-4 on tv.       There is a scene in one of those, I forget which one, where the li'l dude goes on a joy ride in a toy car he steals and is pulled over - it's pretty hilarious.

I just watched it last night.  You might be interested in this eight minute video.  It is Hubbard's (elaraych's ) great grandson.
