Also, for the record, there are lots of older movies that are still pretty good. You should try them!

A couple of the CG scenes haven't held up (I'm looking at you gallimimus), but it's still classic Spielberg with revolutionary special effects. His mix of CG with practical effects means that at times the movie looks better than the recent Jurassic World. It's on Netflix why would I buy it. Are you a Big Jurassic shill trying to trick me I meant didn't hold up like, I know obviously it's one of the most famous and influencial movies of all time but nostalgia glasses can skew public opinion about how it is today. I used to love the movie Drop Dead Fred as a kid but if I watched it now it's loving terrible. That doesn't stop me from loving it though.

The T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park has still never been topped, and if it has been, the only contender would be the scene in The Lost World. So either way Spielberg has it.

You get a lot more Goldblum's Ian Malcolm in The Lost World. I like The Lost World. The snake scene, two T-Rexes, the cruel opening, there's a lot to enjoy.

I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore was... okay. It does that mashup thing where it tries to be two very different movies at once. When this is done well, the results are loving fantastic - Cop Car, or Keanu, for example. But here it fails hard. The protagonists and antagonists are in two very different movies, so when they come together in act 3 it's not a wet fart, it's a very loud smelly awkward fart that goes on way longer than is comfortable. But there is enough in the first hour to bother watching it. The police detective is fantastic in his small role. Elijah Wood is as always brilliant but he is actually not even in the movie all that much or is often not given anything to do or say in scenes. Netflix thought I'd give it 5 full stars, I went with 3. 'salright.

That dumb 3D file manager is literally a real Irix program that no joke actually existed in the real world before Jurassic Park was filmed. E: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn_(file_manager)

I have used that program myself. Sadly, the SGI machine was not hooked up to any door locks. In fact, I think all those boxes were off on their own private network because security in IRIX was a complete afterthought (fitting, really - Spared No Expense on the graphics, but boring stuff like security was neglected).

Jurassic Park is really good, no nostalgia necessary. Also, The Lost World is really good, no nostalgia necessary, Bringing Up Baby w/ a T-rex was a good idea.

It's crazy how good the special effects are compared to most movies, even modern ones are 90% of the time. And how entertaining the story is compared to poo poo like jurassic world.

Thanks, thread, for the Patriot recommendation. What locked it down for me was his first song he plays on the park bench, early in Ep 1. I was just floored by how darkly funny it was. And I felt guilty laughing at Steven. Other than the stream of improbable coincidences that plague everything these days, it was the best thing I've binged in years. Beautiful camera work on the composition side. Also there's a long shot in the concrete pipes, where everyone is coming to talk to John in turns. You can see one guy walking from the far background at least 60s before he gets there, and nothing misses a beat. Everyone watch this show.

The scene in Patriot on the elevator where 4 bulky brazillian brothers out for revenge and money after john killed their brother and took back the money bag, two of his bosses at his cover job, and his old folk music buddy from Amsterdam all walk in and then the buddy, completely oblivious to the mood in the elevator, starts introducing himself one by one to all of them and they all start introducing themselves back had me dying. It's a black comedy and it does eventually get really loving black. The lead actor does a great job with that constant sad tired expression on his face.

MeatwadIsGod posted:Hearing the T-Rex roar on good surround sound is required for anyone who likes movies even a little bit. Hell, the first good T-Rex footfall with a good subwoofer is one of the more chilling moments in cinema. The other thing I marvel at when I watch it was that it was made in 1993! Think of the vast wasteland of absolutely atrocious CGI that came after it in the 90's and 00's. It's really only started to look even a little bit dated in the last few years, and I'll bet you there's a movie that comes out in 2017 with worse effects.

The Great British Baking Show is very well done so long as you can handle a program in which adults talk very seriously about exactly how they like their cake.

There's a documentary about chess player Magnus Carlsen up on Netflix with a remarkable amount of home video footage. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Kind of like a real life version of Searching for Bobby Fischer except the main character is arguably better than Fischer, or anybody else ever.

Alton's live show was fun. way too expensive but I'm still glad I got to see it. Would rather see him again than almost any given magician's act. I never got to meet him but he seems p cool. I did meet Steve Miller and he was a pompous has-been.
