The Warren Commission took 10 months to investigate because it took them and associates 10 months to plan the assassination. We all should know by now based on documentaries, films, and interviews who really pulled the trigger and it wasn't Oswald. If Oswald really did it then he had a lot of pull to change the motorcade plans. To conveniently get his job at the SBD just in time. Or maybe just by luck of chance all of this happened because he was just a crazy lone gun man looking to put himself in the history books. I think someone who helped make this film knew the truth about how it was actually orchestrated. Like that guy that portrayed Roscoe Anthony White looks similar. An interview of Micheal Ralph Paine talking similar to The way Oswald talks. Someone knew these little details to put in this film. Conveniently enough this films comes out when a lot of " close " people have died already.

This movie was more like a Quentin Tarantino movie.

That’s Awesome!!! #RebelMoon #RestoreTheSnyderverse

Yes! Thank you, Ian.

My take on Spaulding's involvement with the family... well, we now obviously realize he is. However, for someone hypothetically watching House for the first time and not knowing anything about the trilogy, I'd think it would be obvious that Spaulding _is_ a part of them. Granted, he does repeatedly attempt to dissuade the Young People from looking for Dr Satan's lair or whatever, not wanting them to invariably be found and killed by his family living nearby, but this isn't done cause Spaulding's heart is in the right place (he's obviously a cold blooded killer in how he deals with "Ski King" & his half-wit partner attempting to rob him) but b/c he's the elder of the family, is settled comfortably into his roadside business, and realizes the family murdering more suburban twenty-somethings will inevitably lead to more trouble and police, which he'd rather not deal with. That aside, while I enjoyed the trilogy, House is the stand out movie for me. The ghastly characters are so animated and over the top that it makes it easier for the viewer to sort of go along with them even though they're monstrous people. DRs took all of that prior zaniness away, and we're left with grim thrill-kill characters who aren't nearly as frightening, nor as entertaining to watch ...especially the Otis character, who by the sequel didn't retain any of TCM2's Chop Top flourishes that Moseley brought to that character in House.

Think about it the only thing that came out the pandemic that was good was Rocky IV directors cut if we didn't have the pandemic do you guys think this would have happened we would have gotten Rocky IV director's cut

-I’m late but just found this and I’m a fan of you guys so joining the convo anyway!! -Also yeah Moonwalker and Wicked City is in the future !! 36:27 - But I suppose Wall Street, Harry n the Hendersons, Barfly, Fatal Attraction and The Lost Boys were modern?…????. (⊙＿⊙’) Speaking of Fatal and Wall Street, I agree with you about Douglas’s character. When is he NOT an absolute insufferable (and immoral!) piece of subhuman woman beating home wrecking scumbag with no concept of self accountability- - also can’t forget the full blown homophobia towards Roxy in Basic..was that just his typecast or his established brand at that point? Clearly deserving to get what was coming to him but constantly getting away with his unhinged bullshit.. tossing away women’s lives (and protege for Wall Street) because of choices he made! How did Kirk Douglas sign off on this lol… Michael plays that character to a T! it’s like a freakin pattern at that point! - I find it funny how Fatal had the original ending where Douglas actuslly goes to jail for killing Alex, thus actually paying for his crimes! And in Basic he nearly got the proverbial axe.. but again, nah. WHY, Michael?! Why are you like this!! -What are you guys thoughts on the queer presence in this film? As someone that IDs as sapphic you didn’t see much of that in mainstream film back then. - Lastly, Basic 2 is awful. Chick swims out of a sinking car that drove off a bridge during 100mph bj. Seriously.

Mark's got the voice down! When I was a kid, they had a Beetlejuice x Universal Studios Monsters rock show at Universal. I'm with him on this one- Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was much better than it had any business being in 2024. Wasnt perfect, but a lot of fun & a servicable sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time. It was definitely a little busy & overstuffed, but I had a lot of fun with it. I want to see it again to see how it sits with me after multiple viewings.

Exactly! It's a bad copy of a shitty Guy Ritchie movie.

Can you guys review Seizure, the 1974 directorial debut of Oliver Stone? It's pure grindhouse and stars Jonathan Frid, Martine Berwick, and Herve Villechaize. A real POS.

That Christmas special used to be available on TH-cam but it disappeared about 2 years ago.

Much respect to the quality and variety in these roundtables. I look forward to every one.

Revisiting this, again. I'm somewhat reminded of another discussion. Intolerance! M.R. is a movie about intolerance towards crime, criminals and human fallibility. Some things that are always contemporary. Contemporary contempt. Huh. Another rambling: After looking at M.R., I wonder how a Judge Dredd movie by Spielberg would look like. Or S. Craig Zahler instead! Vince Vaughn could play Dredd. He is a robust guy. But I've only watched parts of M.R to be honest. I should watch it completely.

oh dear. You guys remind me of myself last week, reviewing the book but really actually writing it because the writer made some bad creative choices. Thanks for the review.

Unhinged is one of the best movies of all time imo

The stunts in this amazing film, deserved an Oscar 😉♥️ 🇱🇺

The fact is White wants to be considered one of the greatest film critics of all time, along with Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris. But he is not in league with them because, in their day, film critics were of higher importance than they are nowadays. He can be very thought provoking when he is not busy trying to settle some scores, like with why the world ( and the Internet ) doesn't recognize his self importance.

No question about their influence on film making, but, it's their messages and imagery that is what's most troubling. And truth be told, far better movies have been made since these were made more than a hundred years ago.

Dammit how did I miss this

Really don't want to live through another pandemic but...at least we might get a cleaned up version of that Rocky V work edit! In all seriousness, I love the fact that Stalone revisited IV and spoke pretty candidly about his regrets and how he's grown as a filmmaker. There are plenty of other movies which could receive the same treatment.

More Armond White episodes. His thoughts on "Making Wes Anderson Great Again"?

Controversial it may be... but I know the reason why his recent work hasnt been his best. It's his partner. Since he has been engaged to Charlotte Kirk he has co-written nearly every film with her and he has put her in the lead role every time. The problem is, she cannot act or write to save her life and he clearly refuses to accept that (or she is pushing him to do this). I honestly think if he dropped his constant promotion of her, wrote a film himself and kept her far, far away from it, it would probably be amazing.

Another great discussion, guys. I still haven't seen the directors cut of IV. I guess it's an excuse to rewatch the whole series.

The Rocky V workprint is great! Ive been waiting for an official HD release which Stallone has talked about getting released but now unfortunately it probably won't because of his beef with Winkler

Hello

I didn't go in expecting an edge of your seat thriller, the trailer looked like hokey to me. I thought there were a lot of fun scenarios, I actually laughed out loud when the woman had her face burned off with frying oil, it was so over the top. Reminded me of the new "Hitman" video games.

She Hulk is worst

Was John Stearne Mary Stearne father that married Balthazar Von Kramer?

When I was 13 back in 1965, my father had some comedy albums like Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley and Godfrey Cambridge. So, I got a sense of where Mr. Cambridge humor was coming from. No foul language was used in any of these albums. Society was white and black. One can understand why Cambridge would play such a part knowing his past. 1971 was the beginning of the blacksploitation movies e.g., Superfly, Shaft and Sweet Sweetback showing blacks in other that subservient roles. We all knew that this was the beginning. There was some obvious undertones played out in the movie that most black people would immediately pick up on. The skin color thing was loud & clear but the cultural impacts was left up to the audience to interpret.

This was a fantastic conversation! I found I agreed and disagreed with all of you at some point or the other. For my money, the first film is the only one that is a real film. As enjoyable as Rocky II is, I don't think it has nearly the amount of authenticity and nuance. It feels like a movie made to provide the wish fulfillment for the audiences that wanted him to win in the first place. I hate that Stallone disregards the whole eye/southpaw issue from II when we get into RIII and moving forward. I think RIII is absolutely sliding into the cartoon era, and RIV is that cartoon fully realized. While I agree with Ian in that RIV is not a good movie from a narrative and character standpoint, I can also appreciate it for the cartoon that it is. I can totally see how it is somebody's favorite in the series without it being the "best." For my money, it's easily the most rewatchable of the bunch because it is that perfect distillation of the series. Kind of like how Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is the best of those films, because it puts all the elements together. (That said, I think there is an argument to be made that F13FC is also the "best" of those films, while RIV is not.)

Absolutely love Rocky. Well written, sympatheitc characters, great performances and that ending - gets me every time!

Omigosh youve never seen the village? I love that movie. I even wrote an academic essay defending it. The power of fear to protect. Wrongheaded or not. Give it a chance.

Seems as if Night should not attempt crime thrillers. A whole nother skillset needed to write crime stories than specfic. He should take courses or watch more true crime.

Lol. His ability is getting people to tell him stuff.

I NEED to be on the Rocky IV show (fyi).

They're all kind of the same one dimensional character and are just there to complement Wolverine's character development. If these washed up losers who've seemingly lost everything can still fight and die for something, then so can he. X-23 could've had more than one dialogue scene to flesh her out as a foil, though.

The reason why some opinions suck. Fuck this guy for sure

Taylor kitsch should've came back as gambit

"Parade of Grasshoppers" LOL!! 😂 Wasn't that the title of an unreleased album from Iron Butterfly circa 1968?

Mark with the twizzlers - LOL

The directors full name is Giuseppe Avati his stage name also brings out the Beavis and Butthead in me for that’s the reason I call him Giuseppe Avati

I arrived just for the goodbye🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ ...have to settle for watching it offline...😤😤😤

Jen Kirkman is weird she blocked me on Twitter and never interacted with her lol

He never blocked the door and even this awful doc never claimed he did

Divine!

oakes is terrific. a very moving brilliant movie, really enjoyed it.

25:15 Besides the obvious exhibitionism, it's provocation. He is a sex addict and wants other people to join him in "debauchery". A sex dirtbag. I was listening to a podcast of "reactionary" commentators from England and they were discussing the painter Francis Bacon. He was of the post-WW2 generation and , going from the commentary from the podcast, had a knack for serving a little extra alcohol to his guests. Guess to make them lose their inhibitions. Louis likely is on the same ballpark. Sex addict that is always chasing the latest high. He thought that now that he had made it to the "Big City", away from the prudes and now he can jerk off, drink alcohol and call hookers anytime he wanted to. As a comic he had a life on the road, spending hours driving and living in hotel rooms likely watching hours and hours of the porn channels. Giving birth to the anomie. I can think of another comic that could get in trouble anytime. But his fetish is ... special and few would thread there.

Saw it when it came out

Great discussion!

I have to take small issue with the critique of the insertion of the”Strange Love” segment to the soundtrack: It was sappy, syrupy, and ridiculously mawkish-perfect for Lust for a Vampire.
