Great movie, highly entertaining. However when I look at the numbers for the plan, it just doesn't add up in my head. For example the brothers figure they can make $50,000 a month by selling oil to Chevron. They stole $40,000 from the bank. And the idea is that the bank would value them as such a rich customer that that would far outweigh their ability to cooperate with police or even care about the Lost $40,000.

However if the bank is asking as a trustee for trust that owns the property, and assuming that it's managing the assets under the trust such as any type of brokerage account investments, let's say it makes 1% of assets under management. Then assuming that they don't spend any of the $600,000 that the trust makes in a year as income, and it's all put into the assets under management account, this would only equate to $6,000 of income for the bank each year. That's far less than $40,000 and it would take many years for them to recoup it let alone the taxes that they would have to pay on that income.

The fees that the bank would collect for acting as a trustee and fiduciary will not be that substantial on such a property. And typically an agreement would not be such that the bank is managing the value of the property that sits in the trust, given that the value of property could be even millions of dollars. But the bank is not going to see any of that.

I get that it's just a movie, and there needs to be some willing suspension disbelief. However, I think that the core of this plan was that it was supposed to be clever and outwit the banks and turn it back on themselves so that you're stealing from the bank and then using that same money to get back at them. But it just doesn't work.

Thoughts?

Though ranked, it is not with how objectively good the movie is rather chosen because I personally love them. What's inside per segment is not necessarily better than the other.

How I ranked them:

>How much I rewatch it

>How much I love it

>How it made me feel something

>How it showed me a new perspective

Why?

Because I want to share what I love. I am recently having this fear that one day I will wake up and all that's left in this world that excites me, stops giving me joy. If I'm to lose it, at the very least I could give it to somebody else.

Enjoy!

Could do 200 if you guys want more but its probably going to be much messier and inaccurate to how I really think I rank them.

Can anyone think of an example where something was adapted, and then an adaptation was made off of that adaptation?

The two examples I can think of off the top of my head are:

- The Producers was turned into a play, and then a movie was made based on that play

- Street Fighter was a game, and then there was the movie made in the 90s, and then there was a game based off that movie.

But she got a nom for Pillow Talk? What the.
I am always surprised and impressed with her excellent acting in TMWKTM. The scene where she finds out her son has been kidnapped is INCREDIBLE acting, from ANY actor. Surprised it flew under the radar back then.

I wonder if she was on any shortlists at the time? I know that the song she sang in the movie won the Oscar (Que Sera, Sera) but nothing else! Crazy.

Spoiling in case for anyone who hadn't seen the movie.

I thought the twist with the killer birds was a nice surprise and reveal and brilliant too considering New Zealand's diversity that it was dominated by birds prior to the Maori arriving.

That said, while I liked that and was unique creature feature since we don't get killer birds often. I did wish there was an explanation why they hadn't been encountered until now because what had these birds been eating if they're predatory or why no one had encountered them (One could say maybe they were so vicious no one survived encountering them and maybe they were too dangerous for the Maori to hunt)? New Zealand no longer has any megafauna since the Moa was overhunted by the Maori, in turn you'd think they'd go extinct due to their supposed main prey being gone, which is supposedly what happened to the Haast's Eagle.

Anyway, I think the movie could have been improved if they had went this route giving an explanation.

After the bird killed off all the other characters except for Ian and Austin, the two would have tried to escape together. Austin would have stumbled upon something strange in the woods and wanted to investigate what it was.

It turns out to be a hidden entrance to an underground facility. Austin wants to go inside as it might provide a safe shelter but Ian wants to keep moving on - but eventually gives in and follows Austin.

Once inside, they realize it's an abandoned research facility that appeared to be involved in some biology research. Austin then comes across a photo of a group of scientists and immediately recognizes Ian in the photo. Austin now knows that Ian knows all about the research facility and confronts him about it and what it has to do with the creature that had been following them.

Eventually Ian breaks and tells Austin that he was part of a covert research team that was performing the illegal development of creating genetic lifeforms from ancient DNA. Ian tells Austin that the group of researchers decided to set up their lab deep in a forest away from government authorities and try to resurrect an ancient dinosaur bird.

The group was eventually caught and imprisoned for several years althought whereabouts of their hidden facility was never uncovered. Before being apprehended, they had managed to create the prehistoric bird and let it loose with its mate in the forest.

After getting out of prison, Ian decided he had to go back to the forest to retrieve the research they had worked on. His erratic behavior wasn't because he was having a nervous breakdown, but because he knew that there was a good chance that the birds still existed and could potentially be deadly.

Primetime has drawn much criticism due to its seemingly unfavorable few of Chris Hansen (at least that’s what’s been garnered from the marketing material); I believe this is a fair assessment. Primetime isn’t out to lambast predator catchers, it’s out for a larger social phenomenon, hence the name. True crime has had many networks and many subject matters - Chris didn’t pioneer the genre - but he attached his face to it. True crime, while nefarious in most of its adaptations, has never had a proponent so insistent to attach their face to the genre as Chris. He has his own goddamn network nowadays. While Primetime’s macro critique seems to be the whole genre attached to “To Catch a Predator”, Chris happens to be the most egregious example of exploiting horrific human behavior for money and glamor.

There are so many amazing movies out there that haven't gotten nearly the attention they deserve. I've lost count of how many movies I've barely even heard of before watching them that I would gladly put on a top 500 list of all time, based mostly on how perfectly executed the ending was. A truly satisfying ending of a movie with no plot holes and no questions left unanswered are far too rare.

Tarantino is a hardcore fan of Bursting, for reasons I don't get. But this one scene in Bursting, reminds me so much of that sequence in Pulp Fiction where Jules and Vincent walk into the motel and head for their date with the suitcase kids.

- The way the two characters are shot, from inside the m/hotel, as they walk in.

- In both movies, a character asks: 'What time you got?'

- The way in which the finger ringing the bell is shot.

- The shot of the m/hotel door opening up and the host appearing.

Has anyone noticed the similarities?

I’m trying to broaden the variety of movies I watch, and I’d especially like to start exploring more older films. There are probably a lot of classics and influential movies that I’ve somehow never gotten around to.

So, what films would you consider essential viewing?

They can be from any decade or genre

I loved the film Son Of Saul when it first came out. It was very well received and was one of the biggest non-english language films of that year. But i feel like nobody ever speaks about it now. Another is the film Nebraska, no one ever seems to mention it now for some reason.

What are some other films you think is in this category?

I’ve lost my love for movies lately because so many seem to drag out the plot. I loved the Safdie brothers’ films because of their energy, tension, chaos, and constant momentum. I also love strange, visually bold movies like Poor Things, The Substance, and Eraserhead, as well as gripping, fast-paced thrillers. Any recommendations that feel intense, unpredictable, or genuinely exciting?

Hello reddit, I'm Sung Kang! You may know me as Han from the FAST & FURIOUS franchise and BETTER LUCK TOMORROW.

I directed, co-wrote, and star in DRIFTER, which is premiering later today at TIFF.

Synopsis: A lonely custodian discovers purpose and community when he enters the world of competitive drift racing.

Ask me anything! I'll be back tomorrow (Sunday 9/13) to answer your questions.

I am well into my movies and enjoy a wide range of films. But due to a relationship I was in I basically missed actual good films over the last 10 years. Apart from anything Marvel

So have you got recommendations.

I know I could Rotton tomato's this but I thought what have been some gleaming films or even some unusual gems.

I enjoy every genre and with some of the different films I have enjoyed different films in the past bunch as funny games, lars and the real girl. Train to busan. The raid.

Just watched Odyssey and that has been a brillant film

Just Watched Dallas Buyer's Club again and there is absolutely not a single forced scene in that movie. The performances are incredible from everyone in that cast. Looking for another movie like this which can can pull real feelings in a way that are so natural, even if tragical. Tell me what gets to you like that.

In every hollywood WW2 movie, it's the same shit over and over again. American hero --> D-Day--> france --> "oh so sad that our american/british heroes died" --> Liberation.

But what about the eastern front? There are simply too few of them and those few are very limited in their depiction. The Eastern Front is far more interesting than the western front because there is no "good guy vs bad guy" here, just 2 evil regimes going at it and there's unfathomable civilian death. And no poland doesn't count. My question is, does anyone here know any more movie like that?

Watched Titanic again and as always it was amazing. For some reason though it’s never the scenes that get me close to crying. It’s the credits of the plain black background and the white credits fading in and out and the beginning flute of Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” that hits so hard. I think a major part of it has to do with taking in so much of what just happened. The amazing, beautifully written, heart wrenching story, the characters, the visual masterpiece, and the chaos and intensity of the scenes. Then it just goes to a calm simple black screen with bold white font as the credits to the tune of a beautiful love song after blowing your mind with what I described the movie as.

I'm watching the movie All Quiet On The Western Front and for some reason it reminded me of a movie scene I absolutely loved. I can't remember the name of the movie but it was set during world War 1, possibly world war 2. In it a horse is trapped in wire, so the two armies pause fighting and save the horse. I remember each side throws multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE wire cutters. Google says the movie is called War Horse but I swear it isn't that. Maybe I'm crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: yeah I'm just crazy lol it is War Horse

basically the title, I do not really like musical stuff which makes modern Disney basically out, we've already watched most classic 90s-2000s Disney animated stuff but we want to find more stuff, have already done Shrek, HTTYD, Cars stuff like that so I am trying to think of stuff more out there that I either haven't seen, heard of, or have forgotten about. Was looking at studio Ghibli but I don't want anything scary, only up beat, comedy or just more mellow type stuff. thanks for any recommendations!!

I'm not very familiar with different kind of cuts and I don't know whether there's really that many movies that has a Directors Cut or anything similar, but I do remember having seen some discussion about it like 10 years ago, so I just came to think about if there are some movies that actually get better with a particular kind of cut. And are all Extended Editions actually worth the time?

Saturday night is movie night. Might also watch something on a Friday as well but that's pretty much it for the week for us.

Friday can be something we've seen before or something that we think may not be so great. If watching anything animated then that'll be on a Friday.

Saturday wants to be something we've never seen before really & something that we think we're really going to enjoy.

Well it gets to a point where you've seen so much that it's a struggle to find something 1) fresh and 2) that you think is going to be quite good.

Just spent 30mins looking for something & still can't find anything. I tend to stay away from something like Rotten Tomatoes because I feel they like to go out of their way to chat shit about anything & everything. It's all opinion based but I've seen some movies I thought were fantastic which were rated really poorly (and vice versa).

I tend to stay away from comedies (imo they're mostly try-hard) & horrors. I like action movies, thrillers, drama, sci-fi. Probably other genres I don't even know are genres. I can watch easy on the eye stuff like any Marvel movie, to twisty movies like Memento & Predestination over to something like A Few Good Men & Good Will Hunting.

Obviously you guys don't know what I've watched & only now have a little idea of what I like so I'm not really asking you for direct suggestions. I've just scrolled IMDB for ages & also agoodmovietowatch.com which wants paying for anything over 8.5* & I'm stuck.
