    Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

    Picked up Home, The Lego Movie, and Big Hero 6 from Amazon. I saw parts of them at work, heard good things about all of them, and now I want to see the rest of them, especially the Lego Movie.

      Seriously, most decades style does not develop immediately at the turn of the decade. It's usually something like 3, or even five years in, before you really see the styles, trends and fashions that everyone comes to associate with that decade.

      So the 60's ran a bit over in the 70's, probably till about '72-73. The 70's held on pretty strongly through the early 80's. I found my old college yearbooks online, and was looking through the senior portraits and such for old friends of mine and stuff. Now I graduated in 1983, but you really didn't see the typical '80's haircuts and clothes on people until about 1985 or even '86. And even then, mostly the girls and not the guys. Now granted, this was the backwoods of Maine, but there were enough kids there from the civilized states like Mass and NY.

      But the kids from 1980-1983 looked just like the kids in my high school yearbooks from the late '70's.
      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

          The 90s changed pretty quick in style, thanks to the massive difference in hair rock and grunge styles, IMO.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Watching the Lego Movie. Well worth the $19.99 I spent on it.

                  Sleepy Hollow:

                  Eh, it was ok. A little out there for me with the supernatural and such, even if it was just a legend. Kind of overdid it.


                  Focus:

                  I like a good con-man movie, this bordered between good and "Oh Jesus, really? Come on, you can do better than that!" Worth a watch, but I've seen much better. It went a bit downhill starting with the cliched "xx years later" transition. A major fault in this genre.

                      I'll tell you something that's AWESOME!!! And I hope most of you are one step ahead of me and have already seen this movie, but tonight I watched Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. I can't believe I waited 57+ years to watch this film. Very good from start to finish. Inspiration for Lucas's Star Wars. Must see. Enjoy!

                      The life of an insect
                      Throw it into the fire
                      Ponder and you'll see
                      The world is dark
                      And this floating world
                      Is a dream.

                        A Walk in the Woods

                        Maybe a little overly reliant on the dirty old man jokes, but it was still a decent popcorn flick/coming-of-death story.

                          Spaceship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          I own The Lego Movie as well. But as a collector of Lego, I am disappointed in myself that I did not see it in theaters.

                            Akira pretty much rules. I have his box set "25 Films Of Akira Kurosawa" and it's well worth the price (although I did get it for a helluva bargain, about $250 during a sale).

                              Unfortunately, that box set is now Out Of Print. (I'm envious.) On Amazon it goes for $2499.00 New, $300.00 Used.

                                When I bought it, I had only seen a couple of his movies, and doing the math: buying those movies on their own vs the box set, the box set was worth the chance on the other movies. Glad I pulled the trigger on that one!
