I have watched now: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). The last movie in the trilogy is on the DVR but it is doubtful that I shall watch it. I have long avoided the movies because I love the novels so very much and I knew that...

Predestination is nothing like Minority Report, believe me. Without completely spoiling it, I can't say any more.

No, I don't think very many people will find Chappie to be of interest. Better to watch one of the director's earlier films, District 9, which is excellent.

It's on my list of movies to get to. I will probably watch with my 16 year old son, who plays in a jazz ensemble.

Predestination - Ethan Hawke in a really offbeat time travel movie that is definitely not for everyone. I thought it was a little too weird. :lol: Wild - Reese Witherspoon stars as a woman who takes time off from her life to get away from it all and hike the pacific trail and discover herself along ...

I checked out the SSO Facebook group and I don't care for it at all. You wold have to sign in to each thread individually it seems to me, but I can understand how you could end up spending the better part of a day there. I still prefer this place. I'm not sure how you access Facebook but that's not...

Well the thing is, I always think of the silent era as being from 1919 or so until 1928 or so. That's just me being uninformed and not really looking into it all that much. So yes, that is a pretty unusual film, but it still made me look back and realize there were about two decades of films being m...

My knowledge of the silent era is so terrible. Thanks for posting this!

"I'm sorry son; they got us."

For what it's worth, I don't go to the TCM site (don't even have an account there) and would welcome any discussion here that happens to be mirrored over there. It seems like most of the activity here lately is the Candids thread, a little TV talk, and Erik's Rita thread. I wish I knew how to stir u...

I saw the headline just after it happened and panicked. Couldn't take losing Spock and Han Solo within a week of each other. I'm glad he's going to be ok.

A trio of tragedy there, with all dying far too young.

Very sad to hear about Nimoy. He is one of my childhood idols.

It never quite got to 40 and also never stopped snowing! Instead of melting it just got to be that heavy kind of snow, which I cleared a path to get my car out of the driveway through, but otherwise have left to its own devices.

Minus 15 yesterday morning. Today it's snowing again, for the third time this week. We have over a foot of snow on the ground. Later on it's going up to 41 degrees, and going to rain a bit, before dropping to the teens again, meaning we will have a sheen of ice over our entire world later. I'm ready...
