Movie Recommendations/Want To See List

[skippy1999]

Hard to make a dog act, and even harder without having all the humane people up your ass with an army of lawyers.

Yea people who feel sick to their stomach watching a terrified dog be pushed into churning water so he can "act", can't have any of those around 

[The Chief]

perfect example of hot takes in 2020.

it's not a hot take to not want to see animals tortured but forget it, not up for an animal abuse discussion in a movie thread.

[The Chief]

The point was that I was not advocating anything of the sort and to read my words as such was borderline willful ignorance.  I thought the remark about White Fang would have made it clear that I was simply observing changes in society as it pertains to animal treatment on movie sets, but you proved me wrong.

Use CGI for those scenes. But the trailer kind of came off like... Polar Express or something.  Lady and the Tramp with better resolution.

Ha, perfect description.

Well. The wording read a little glib to be taken as a simple observation of societal changes.

Imagine if people treated each other as well as some people treat dogs.  Then you'll understand my glibness.

[GburgNatsFan]

DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT HOW I TREAT MY DOG!!!

Seriously though, love dogs. People suck. LoL

It's a much deeper conversation than belongs in this thread.  Apologies to skippy

[Slateman]

Hot Take: Chief hates animals and skippy is a PETA freak who goes around throwing animal blood on people.

[Mathguy]

Well Skippy - why didn't you bring some blood to the Meet & Greet in August ?

Planes Traines and Automobiles is a classic for this Thanksgiving. I still laugh at this movie.

one of the all time greats, and really showed Martin's versatility in playing the straight man.

[The Chief]

Do either of you watch "The Goldbergs" by any chance?

Skippy’s right. The tortures that animals were routinely put through for movies years ago is horrifying.  I’m always glad to see that disclaimer at the end of a movie that American Humane was on site and that no animals were harmed during the production.

Ford v Ferrari was a fantastically entertaining movie, I don’t give a flip about car racing but it made me want to learn how to drive a stick shift lol seriously fun movie!

I enjoyed it a lot.  Worth seeing in a theater.

$35 + $10 (fees)

[Copecwby20]

We enjoyed Ford vs. Ferrari a bunch. It was crazy that as loud as the engines were, the two dudes sitting next to us were still able to talk louder than the movie. A quick "Anytime you want to shut the freak up would be awesome" comment from me kept them quiet for the rest of the flick.

Sold out.

My brother started The Irishman this AM.  It is 3.5 hours long.  I watched about an hour and half.  It is amazing.

DeNiro was on Colbert, and he explained that Scorcese had Pesci and DeNiro go through scenes from Goodfellas so they could cue in the CGI to restore they could de-age them via CGI for the scenes over a 30 year period.  DeNiro looks a little stiff when he walks, but otherwise it is not noticeable.  Pacino has a good Hoffa, too.  apparently, Scorcese has had this one in the works for 15 or so years, and initially they were going to cast other actors as the younger major characters until they hit on the de-aging.
