At the movies - From the couch

I’ve tried Reservoir Dogs several times and never managed to make it to the end. Possibly the most overrated film of all time, IMHO. I just can’t understand what anyone can possibly find interesting, let alone entertaining, in an entire film set in one place and consisting of a bunch of men shouting “■■■■” at each other and repeating everything five or six times at increasing volume. It’s only 99 minutes long, but even that is about 90 minutes too many.

I had a similar awakening at the time of the last Mission Impossible film…perhaps read this full post:

I’m no movie critic. But I’d say it’s because it was done on such a low budget. The dialogue, which we know now is a QT staple. It’s a high calibre cast, with some great acting. His rip off, or nod, (as always) of other genres.

It probably could have been a 15 minute short film and been just as engaging.

The two things I don’t like are that he overused the ‘N’ word, and I have heard he was mates with Epstein.

He’s 29.
Look out.

All I asked.
So he didn’t go through 10-1, Red Sails, Species Deceases, 99 Luft Balloons, Two Tribes, War Games, The Day After, the actual NDP, despite S10’s assertion that the Cold War had no impact on eighties teens or pop culture.

ffsFFS.
We had high school lessons that included ‘Do you think you’ll live long enough to have kids?’

Saucy’s too young and S10’s too old.

And that’s fine.
Just don’t…deny an entire Farking generation.

If you want to see what can be done on a low budget, take a look at Ridley Scott’s directorial debut, “The Duelists.” That movie features Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine, for under $100,000.

Your reliance on punctuation to supply the deficiencies in your logic is pathetic, really.

Cool story, bro.
That punctuation suit you?

“new guy in town gives them a chop out” covers most movies made since seven samurai

Such a let down from the original. One of the worst sequels ever.

Ouch.

My ears are burning. A lot of snarky old men in here tonight.

Pretend you’re not peeking as much as you like.
Kind of defeats the purpose of ignoring, yeah?

Not the first thread you’ve done it in, either.

Please believe, if I thought you were genuine in anything, including that…

Ain’t got no time for gaslighting jerks who won’t answer a question put to them five times and pretend it was never asked.

But, it’s fine.
You weren’t alive.
All you had to say.

Nobody upsets the elderly quite like The Sauce.

Seriously, dude.
Don’t announce you’re ignoring me and then stalk me.

That’s pretty ■■■■.
