Movie Meets

“You down with OPP?” “Nah, just Down by Law”

@codyclarke Gfys

They didnt get it 🤷‍♂️

@WackoJackosflix Husbands is my favorite of his.

@MovieMeets Same here, one of my absolute favourite actors, so much charisma and pathos. I really love Bogdanovich's Saint Jack (1979) too

I have phases of rabbit hole obsession with movies I love, looks to be happening with Chinese Bookie currently, quite fitting it's the 50th anniversary (though I think the 1978 re-edit is superior). Genuinely one of the finest American films in history. Weird, moving, glorious

Josh Gad thinks Eternal Sunshine came out in 1999 haha

The only thing that could have made Marty Supreme better is if someone had cut off some of his fingers

@HighSierraMan @3xchair @RandyRRQuaid So Pepsi killed Michael?

It starts by putting yourself at risk. "It all began in 1984 when he suffered both second- and third-degree burns to his scalp during a pyrotechnic disaster while filming a Pepsi commercial and was given painkillers to recuperate. In Jackson’s own words, drugs had taken over his life in the years that followed. 'I became increasingly more dependent on the painkillers to get me through the days of my tour,' Jackson says in archived audio, explaining why he canceled the latter part of his 1993 'Dangerous' world tour and announced that he was going into treatment... Jackson was taking Demerol at a whopping 300 milligrams at a time, according to Dr. Drew Pinsky. The pop singer even mentions the substance in his 1997 track 'Morphine...' Jackson had created 19 false aliases to collect different drugs, and Klein had kept a special book noting which prescriptions went to each fake identity, according to Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for LA County.. 'The way that Michael went about getting all these drugs was doctor shopping. He had multiple, different doctors that he was involved with and he would go to ‘Doctor A’ and ask for a sedative, and then he would go to ‘Doctor B’ and may ask for the same one,' Jackson’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Harry Glassman, claims. 'Michael is responsible, to a great extent, for his own demise, but he certainly had a lot of help from the medical community.'" nypost.com/2022/08/29/mic…

Well, this is definitive. Hear, hear Elizabeth on Michael Jackson, tabloid journalism, tabloid television. Thanks for posting @RandyRRQuaid

@masterofoneinc1 Hideous, I’m afraid

Today's shoes: the Jordan 18 Royal for #BlueMonday. The last shoe Jordan played in for the Wizards. Tate Kuerbis design influenced by Italian dress shoes and race car driving shoes; one of my favorite shoes. #kotd Would you wear? What is your favorite Studio Ghibli movie?

@TheDocSportello Willem Dafoe?

Pop quiz, nerds: what do these four ’90s classics have in common?

@3xchair Gonna poke somebody’s eye out

What a girl! What a group!

@TheCinesthetic You watch somebody get scalped and we’ll see how judgey you are

Tom Hardy in The Revenant (2015) is pure survivalist rot.. twisting greed and self-preservation into something brutally human. He’s not loud or theatrical, just constantly rationalizing the worst choices and dragging everyone else down with him.

Disc rot?

@WackoJackosflix @Rob_Motto @masterofoneinc1 @BookstoreThor @stagescreen60 @RXCafeTX @FilmJunkie82 @Todd_Spence Is it Peter Fonda’s best work since the Limey?

@Rob_Motto @masterofoneinc1 @BookstoreThor @MovieMeets @stagescreen60 @RXCafeTX @FilmJunkie82 @Todd_Spence I still haven't seen He Was A Quiet Man but I dig Ulee's Gold, very solid and powerful family drama

@Rob_Motto @WackoJackosflix Damn straight

@MovieMeets @WackoJackosflix For me the action is the juice.

Update: I just got fired.

@WackoJackosflix @Rob_Motto

@Rob_Motto Ugh...fucking pain in the ass. Every passing year a score looks more and more attractive to me, just start anew and say "Fuck you" to whatever you don't like. But a lack of know-how and the fact that I wouldn't cut it in prison at all are big deterrents lol

💯 FC2 is the shit!

@MovieStarIcons Well that’s a disappointing revelation

Travis Bickle’s mohawk in Taxi Driver wasn't De Niro's idea. It came from Victor Magnotta, a friend of Scorsese's who had served in Vietnam and played a Secret Service agent in the film. Magnotta told them that in Saigon, if you saw a soldier with a mohawk, it meant he was ready to go into a Special Forces operation and you stayed away from him. De Niro couldn't actually shave his head because he was about to start filming The Last Tycoon with Elia Kazan right after. So he called Dick Smith, the makeup artist behind The Godfather and The Exorcist, who later won an Oscar for Amadeus. Smith built a latex bald cap and glued each bit of hair onto it individually. The cap was so uncomfortable that De Niro had to keep his neck completely stiff all day to stop it from peeling off. That stiffness ended up becoming part of the character; Travis doesn't move his head like a normal person in those scenes because De Niro physically couldn't. The whole film cost $1.9 million. The mohawk is still intact and you can visit it at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. Description and photos sourced from Filmatic.

@CinemaTweets1 @TheAcademy Nah, Kramer is a better film. Less bombastic sure but a better film.

Kramer vs. Kramer won the Oscar for Best Picture over Apocalypse Now in 1980. I don’t think the @TheAcademy got this right- I think Apocalypse Now needed to win this award for so many reasons. But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen better on-screen acting than in this film. Have you?

@mikemoviez Do you feel as though you have a certain privilege to post it?

TRUE ROMANCE [1993] Directed by Tony Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been sitting here figuratively picking daisies, saying "Post it. Don't post it. Post it. Don't post it." The daisy has spoken:

We used to be a proper country RIP Jimmy and Tony

@3xchair @princeoftyre Masterpiece

Oh yeah. Altman's #PretaPorter is a genuine satire with both affection and sharp teeth. The Kim Basinger character alone (as well as Stephen Rea's) outwit and outclass those #TDWP clowns. @princeoftyre
