* Did you watch a film last night (on Blu or DVD), and what was it? *

Last night I revisited this ::

102816_large.jpg


It's a science-fiction flick, not like 'Gravity' and not like 'Interstellar' and not like 'Jupiter Ascending'. ...But like itself...very unique...a cinema art form...a fatal attraction...a dreamscape type of intervention somewhere by someone interacting with humans.

Overall: 79.5 (my own rating).

does it have any action? the last time I watched a "cinema art" sci-fi flick, ranked highly was ...

... in essence, a one-room play filmed into a "movie" ... swore up and down, never again ... Bob, I need some action. :p

Oh yeah, @ the end it does. ...'Under the Skin'.

* Did you see The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water? ...John Wick?

I found that movie painful. Painful, I tells ye.

'The Conversation' has some good moments/scenes...explosives...car chase. ...98% average @ Rotten Tomatoes...not everyone felt your pain.
But movies are sometimes like that; 'Mad Max: Fury Road' ... everyone liked it, and one or two truly hated it...Tim. :b
...'Jurassic World' ... yep.

* Music, films, audio gear, audio reviewers, speakers, women, wines, cars, watches, cells, 3D, lifestyle ...we all have our own preferences, no matter if it is the best for everyone as long as it is the best for us.

I didn't see SpongeBob, yet. :b ...I'll wait for this one...till the 3D Blu-ray gets on sale...no rush. ...And John Wick is way over-the-top fun. ...Full of holes too.

Tonight, since I haven't watched them in awhile.
The Thomas Crown Affair(both)
 
I wonder how he escaped. I guess it wasn't for life. :)
 
Donnie Brasco

? Great flick.

Tonight, since I haven't watched them in awhile.
The Thomas Crown Affair(both)

? I love them both...the music is real cool on the remake, and that house on the island...I like to retire there.

Welcome back, NS. I heard that you were in Whatsbest prison.;)

? I worked in the forests of British Columbia for many years, and I've seen stuff that most humans will never see in their lifetime.
I'm an active guy, in whatever I put my heart into, very.

* I remember; starting a thread about the best prison in North America...it wen't nowhere.

I wonder how he escaped. I guess it wasn't for life. :)

? Two guys escaped from an upstate New York prison over two weeks ago...the prison staff is even worse than them.
The two convicted killers are still @ large, I think. ...And two prison staffs, @ least, are going to end up in jail.

must have been one-bad ass movie "review" too many. :p

sometimes even the very best get barred ...

? I know many audio members who have been banned or simply disappeared after losing total interest. ...And they are usually the most intelligent people; they have some' to say that we can all learn from. Life is like that...strange and unfair, but the people who built those pyramids in Egypt...they were not the slaves, but the artisans, the kings and queens, and very discreet about it...we just don't know them and never will...but they truly were.

You never count on others to do the things that you can do yourself.
And being banned simply mean that someone wasn't paying real attention.
People don't get banned, it's always someone else who made a wrong call.

? About 25 hours ago I watched (revisited this), on DVD (for a very very rare change) ::

18988_large.jpg


Directed by Costa-Gavras in 1969, and being projected right now @ Cannes, in 4K remastered print. ...And Costa-Gavras is there too.
The film is in French (mono) and the DVD from the Criterion Collection. ... 'Z' put Costa-Gavras on the map of serious cineastes (filmmakers from political and intrigue higher caliber).
- They are working, as I am posting this right now, on the 4K remastering on Blu-ray with brand new special features...of the hi-end European cinema Francais.

* My overall score rating, for this DVD version; knowing very well that DVD is an inferior/technical movie medium...:: 85 ...The film itself helps to bring the score up.
...And eventually I'll put my two hands on the 4K (UHD, maybe) remastered Blu-ray Criterion Collection.

<<<?>>> What's Best Forum has enough very wise visitors and members too, to transform/catapult this site into the higher dimension, a much higher level of closer music reproduction. ...And cinema too. ...It's all in our own hands...never look down but up. ...And to access the best is to be best ourselves first, who we are, so that what we have collected in life, and won and lost, is also becoming best in us and outside us.

I have learned a few things here over my sejour, banned and no banned. ...Because I have always kept reading, even in my eighteen months of exile.
It's who he thee she thinks pure who can really make a difference, for the very best.
The road is not fully paved and it don't need to, only the ones who paved her for who is coming behind her.

I love films, they have the power to deliver us and to expand our life's horizons. ...On all forms and aspects; artistically, musically, photographically. ...Movements of the heart, soul and spirit. ...Mind and senses. ...Pleasant and frightening equally both @ the same time, unconsciously and in total awareness both @ the same exact time in different spaces.

... 'Z' by Costa-Gavras (1969).

I can certainly relate & appreciate North, as a teen, I worked for a summer logging firm in nova scotia, and have since remained active with many outdoor activities, mostly fishing, yet another expensive/passionate hobby in which I've chosen to take to an extreme. Either befriending wild chipmunks (they slept on my chest as I slept while camping way up north on crown land), or being attacked by birds (and even once a beaver), or releasing giant Pike & Muskie's in lower Georgian bay, these experiences define who we are ... wouldn't trade 'em for any stereo system.

Never been banned from a forum ... well ... not entirely true ... one dedicated to everything Linn forum (long gone) banned me after I questioned tune-dem in a not so flattering way. I knew that would happen going in, so ...

North it's been a pleasure discussing movies here with you here, certainly far more interesting than "nit picking" stereo equipment.

But that said, do be careful out there, 1 bad movie review, and ...
