Last of the Mohicans, 1992. Absolutely one of my favourite movies of all time. It's on Encore tonight.

There are some editing issues that made it seem like it was a 3 hour movie that they told Michael Mann to cut to make it shorter, but despite that it's still awesome.

Great story, awesome battles, great soundtrack, a little romance...

Totally should've thrown some nudity in, though.

 

fancy boy

speaking of post-apocalyptic guitar players...

one of my all time favorite idie movies is Six String Samurai.

the soundtrack kicks ass too. done by a great band The Red Elvises (they are fun live too, playing here in SF all the time).

 

basically in the 50s russia nuked the US, and all that is left is the dessert town of "Lost Vegas" run by King Elvis.

eventually elvis dies so this dude on the radio calls for all musicians to come to try and take his place as the new king.

so this buddy holly looking cat comes out with a guitar and a samurai sword, and travels the dessert with this little kid he saved.

anyways, it's awesome.

I agree. Would've been so much better it we could have seen Daniel Day-Lewis' massive wang.

Hmm.  60% on Rotten Tomatoes.  It just sounds like a movie to get drunk/high and watch with a bunch of junk food.

huh.

well its not godfather, sister act 2, or citizen kane.

and i havent seen it in 17 years.

and i likely wasnt sober when i did see it.

but i do remember that its got a cool name and the soundtrack rocks.

so its basically a masterpiece.

Peaky Blinders a Netflix only series. Pretty ****ing good.

I re-watched it recently. The story is solid. The acting and dialogue is excellent. And I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I think the musical choices, and how they work them into the general feel of the story, are just superb. Directorially, it's one of the more interesting shows out there.

I couldn't make it through Trevor Noah's monologue on the Daily Show.

i think it's better than PFG

[HaloCory22]

The Martian- A

 

What a movie. Best space flick I've seen in a while. Matt Damon put on one hell of a performance. A really loaded cast and they all shine. The visuals were amazing, the story was heart pounding. Kept you guessing and wondering.

[OCAngelsNotLAA]

Did You read the book Cory?  I did and was curious if they altered the events at all for the movie.

[HaloCory22]

I didn't. I want to pick it up and read it though.

[mrwicked]

i bought the martian book at the airport book store.

gonna read it.

i usually dont do fiction, but i hear its amazing.

[OCAngelsNotLAA]

It reads like a non-fiction book.

Season finale of Ray Donovan

 

Really good.  They took it to another level this season.

Agreed

[Homebrewer]

I've watched random episodes of that one...is it worth starting from S1E1 and going all the way through?

[Brandon]

I feel like Ray Donovan I'd a good slow burn. Like most of the best it gets off, but we'll worth it if you like crime dramas.

[Lou]

What's wrong with fiction?

 

Are you trying to say my literary studies degree is worthless?!?!?!?!?!

 

And yeah, I like The Martian. Several of my students are reading it during silent reading every day now, too.

Do their lips move?

And lol @ silent reading. Just call it what it is - teacher wants to scour the interwebs so stfu

[Jay]

I would say yes it's worth watching all the way through. You will be rewarded in Season 3.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Agreed

Agree part deluxe.

Cell phone literacy, bottom line is it's great. It does seem to start off slow with that grab at the end of every episode, and as mentioned it it beyond solid right now. Even slow I think it's good. It's great.
