I too love THE BLACK STALLION, but I didn't know it was on Blu-ray and am usually on top of that.

NEWHART season 1 8-10

The theme is one of my favorites ever. I really liked the episode THE BOY WHO CRIED GOAT. When they hooked Kirk up too a lie detector machine and he didn't get any reading was hilarious. I will be getting all the seasons.

Criterion released it as a dual format iirc

@ Solium

I have seen it many times, but I just got the Criterion of Black Stallion but I have not watched it yet
Is this the version you watched?

I love this film, one of the most gorgeous movies every made, and I love that a large portion of it is wordless. I agree I prefer the island stuff better, but I always fall into the mood with the boy and Mickey Rooney working with the horse. What a beautiful slice of America, and a time and a place. Fantastic cinema.


Both parts are magnificent!
The scene where Black is taken out for a midnight tryout in the rain is one of many great scenes. the match race is the best of its kind ever filmed!
Rooney is incredible!
brm

Heartburn 7.8/10

Mrs TG is on an Ephron kick (Nora, happily, not Zac) and recently read the book, so was keen to see how it translated into film. Jack Nicholson is the philandering husband and Meryl Streep the surprisingly naive wife who to me didn’t have the worldliness that one earlier failed marriage would tend to give. Great scenes between Streep and her screen toddler, who is also, it turns out, her real daughter. Some amusing lines.

Speaking of which...

Hardcore Henry - 7/10

A novelty really, but an interesting concept with all scenes from the pov of the first person. Good twist backing up some good special effects although much of the final third was TOO much like a video game. I gather some people had motion sickness from watching. Happily I wasn’t affected at all because it wasn’t worth sitting through to the end feeling ill.

We need some punishment for these dolts.
How about thirty day suspension?
Or, required to catalog all Thor posts since the beginning including cross references.

Nooooo! I didn’t feel ill but it wasn’t so good that it would have been worth sitting through if I had!

Look we’ve just got back in from an evening with friends and I’m not quite entirely sober. I know what I meant...

"didn’t"
"wasn’t"
"So good"
"would have been"
"If I had!"

That has to be the most fkn convoluted, confusing, triple negative, reverse-positive gobbledegook sentence you have ever writ on fsm, TG! wink and thats judged against some pretty stiff opposition!

Can anyone who has seen Solo tell me what the point of his crazy crashing move to shake off a tie fighter was and why he thought to do that move? It made no sense. He was chased by one tie fighter, does this move and then the tie fighter just flies itself into a rock for no reason. And he celebrates as though he did something. I thought that was bizarre. It's a ahane the film did so badly it was serviceable fun.

I think I’ve figured out the problem, Bill. You were too sober when you read it.

Wanderer, I'm glad you have such a high rating to The Imitation Game. It is such a well-made and wonderfully acted movie. It is still a shock in this day and age that countries in the 40's and 50's still jailed men and women because of their sexual orientation.

As the cliché goes, Cumberbatch could read a telephone book and make it sound like a
Shakespearean play.


Hey Joan, you're right about Cumberbatch and the ending was sad. A great deal was made up, condensed and dramatized but I thought it did a good job still. The documentaries I've seen Zbout him are very interesting.

A couple of things I meant to mention about Heartburn - the pleasantly poppie score by Carly Simon (although to my ears it kept threatening to segue (smile) into Roxy Music’s Avalon) and a young Kevin Spacey playing an opportunist thief with a ginger barnet.
