Horrors of Communism

Maybe she prefers comedy 🤔

Scarface also came out 40 years ago which may have been 20 years before this girl was even born

You remind me of my film study teacher. He was sad none of us watched any of the Charlie Chaplin movies. We were like WTF that shit is old

Good movie, though it's no Godfather. On that note, I tend to ask my Cuban amigas why they came to the US. They all emphatically state how hard it is there, due to the actual horrors of communism.

“Lolita” was on TCM a few days ago. I doubt she’s seen that either but it’s more appropriate for the board

A lot of those slow-burn 60s and 70s films have aged pretty poorly- The Godfather, Scarface, Rosemary's Baby. They take too long to get going and there is very little payoff when they do. The Outlaw Jesse Wales is one of my all-time favorites, but it's only gets really good after the kid dies. Jaws- the same, but it's not until they get on Quint's boat that it really takes off. I don't really blame later Gen X or early Millennials for tuning out in the first hour. Late Millennials and Gen Z- well, they simply suck ass and don't get a pass.

But the door swings both ways. I have no idea who these new music artists are.

I know I’m in the minority but I like Casino way, way more than Goodfellas. Basically, there’s no plot line to Goodfellas but Casino is a good story.

For me, the 70’s were a big of a lost decade for film making. A lot of so-called “classics” I find pretty boring. Except for Jaws. Not a huge fan of The Godfather, Star Wars, Dog Day Afternoon, Chinatown, Network, Taxi Driver, The Deerhunter. And some I probably missed. All kind of overrated for my tastes. The 50’s and 60’s were better in my book

“Bit” not “big”. Need that temp edit feature

Going back and watching Scarface decades later is painful. When I was in college I thought it was one of the best movies ever.

What the hell is wrong with hores from communist countries? They can be just as good in the VIP as other dancers and sometimes at more reasonable rates...... oh, HORRORS..... I'm sorry, never mind.

And there's a "W" in there somewhere too.

Some of these movies are just not watchable for entertainment purposes. It’s like the kitty hawk: of course I appreciate its importance, but I’m not fucking flying on it

Good for her, that movie was so overrated. The original 1932 version was so much better anyways.
