JOHN!!!! NOOOO!!! The little river band one of your all time favorites!!!!! Please!!! Tell me you've been drinking hard!!!
Ray

By the way, the Spurs are on FIIIYA!!!!

Rey,

Ok to save face...I am on Tramadol when I wrote that. On my other post "To a better year" I outlined my physical flubs this past year including falling off a 8 foot ladder this past New Years Eve. So, 8 Foot plus 6'3 feet of out of shape hombre is a long fall. Went to the VA doc today (God she was gorgeous...in smocks!) and found out I have a fractured vertebrae in my back in the "L" what ever and I have to wear a back brace for a month or so. Two shots in the ***; one steroid and one quasi morphine with out the side effects and a script for Tramadol. I felt like a champ and heard "Reminiscing" on XM on the drive home and it stuck.

So, please, please don't think differently of me...I had a moment of weakness under the influence of narcotics (prescribed) and let one slip to our Australian chaps to cool the thread...I should of said "all time songs", not bands...Now...

"Lady, won't you take a look at me now..."

John down the Street from ya.

PS: The Spurs are making the final transition from old blood to new blood and POP is making good on leaving his legacy with the Spurs by leaving another 15 to 20 years worth of solid play for the Franchise when he retires. The are white ember hot and are not even playing the vets.

Well I went and saw this last night and I enjoyed it although I thought it was a bit long. Some great acting I thought, but my favorite was Walton Goggins, his Confederate rants, conversations and accent with other cast members was really well done.
In the end it was horribly violent and I gotta say the "N" dialogue with several blacks in the theater made me a little uncomfortable but it was a well crafted western "who Done it".

Ray,

Ever since Walter Goggins was in the shield...I have been a fan of his performances. He was epic when he shanked the Predator in "Predators".

Saw it last night!

What a bloody film!^&grin

Great storyline and I don't think the N word was too excessive for the time period! Also the gore and violence was not as over the top as his previous films.

Was gutted not to see Christoph Waltz.

The whole cinema had a good few laughs at certain pieces, mainly 'dingus':tongue:

My friens thought it was very similar to Django.

Hope it's not his last film!

Not seen it yet so dont anybody post any spoilers (San Antonio cinema goers in particular ^&grin). I am guessing Samuel Jackson is no wimp and gives as good as he gets.

I watched Django again the other night. Whilst the N word is used extensively I would think that movie would be quite popular with non whites as quite a few whites got what they deserved for their treatment of the blacks.

All,

I'm going already!!! I told y'all I am a huge Tarantino fan...remember "True Romance"? Yeah, I do! Love that flick...especially the Christopher Walken-Dennis Hopper exchange. If you have not seen it then you have missed one of the most intense (well written by Tarantino) scenes that puts the entire Italian race on notice...via history. So, Tarantino is an equal opportunity screen writer/director that blasts all in his mind at the moment.

Reservoir Dogs...the memorized back story the cop (Tim Roth) had to learn from his superior about having weed on him while he is taking a piss AND the LA County Sheriffs were in there hanging out. Incredible cinema! Likewise, the ear cutting scene was horrific.

Pulp Fiction...puh-lease where do I start? Jules and Vincent's encounter with the college students? Marcellus lecturing Butch? The Butch and Marcellus pawn shop scene? Royale with Cheese...and on and on...

AND I could go on, but it is beneath me (yes beneath me) to educate the masses on my Tarantino movie knowledge/prowess (yes prowess) as I would like to declare my self the Forum expert on Tarantino cinema. So, henceforth, any more questions you may have regarding ANY Tarantino flick you may PM me. As far as "DJANGO" is concerned I though that Tarantino's South African accent was spot on.

HOWEVER COMMA, since my broken back I don't know if I can sit for 3 hours and 7 minutes in the theater.

He always has interesting characters and really good dialogues in all his movies.
I have enjoyed all of them over the years.

George,

I KNOW RIGHT...that scene is awful!!! When I first watched it I was in shock that it passed the censorship rating boards (PG-13, R rating,etc). I was completely blown away by that scene and wondered how in the heck did Tarantino even come up with this dialogue? By no means George am I trying to "go there" (no way!), I was just astonished at how intense it was. I had never, ever seen anything so intense of scene like that before with "The Flower Duet" by Delibes playing in the background. The way that scene started and ended was certainly not predictable and I find it to be one of the best exchanges in gangster film lore.

That was a piece of cinema written by Tarantino that Tony Scott (Ridleys Brother) filmed masterfully. Plus, we got to see the early images of James Gandolfini in a gangster role...wow...and may he rest in peace. Any who George, I certainly am not making fun, but more so reaching back to some of Tarantino's unilateral use of racism as a key element in his characters and dialogue. Which makes him such a unique film maker. Even though it pains me to hear the racial epitaphs flying on the screen, I am still a fan of his style, his individualism and creativity. With out guys like Tarantino, Kubrick, Coppola, and many other directors who push the limits all we would have is "popcorn" flicks.

Sorry have to correct you on your Tarantino knowledge was infact an Australian accent....not south African as you say! ^&grin

Probably top five, definately top ten as far as greatest movie scenes IMO; he knew he was going to die, so he went out on his terms and with the double flip off to boot...........

Hail Ragnar :salute::

Now let's ask him about the South African actor John Jarrett because he must know Tarantino is a fan of the South African movie Wolf Creek.{sm4}

Ragnar,

How dare you correct me fine sir...down there in the summer time of Australia! That was a South African accent and you know it! But lets think about it. If this was time of the slaves prior to the Civil War...what kind of accents where going on in South Africa and Australia at that time?

I do have it on good authority that it is an attempt by Taratino to use a South African tongue.

So, there..

Warrior,

I agree! And I might add a few more kind sir to the list:

The Godfather

-Michael in the Italian restaurant with the Capt. McClusky and Sollazo. He is going there to do a mafia hit, he knows it, it has to be done, there is no turning back, he will have to leave the country...is the gun there? Oh, its awful to watch!!!



The Deer Hunter

Nicky (Christopher Walken again!) and Michael in the last Russian Roulette scene. When I saw that movie as a kid at 5 years old (yes 5 years old) I was so impacted that I thought it was real. My parents took me to all the movies and never paid for a baby sitter.



Jungle Fever

The Gator Scene performed by Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. At long last The Good, Reverend Doctor had to give his final sermon. That scene alone should have garnered ALL of them an Academy Award.



Platoon

The Sgt. Barnes-payback for Manny-scene where they burn the village and Barnes puts a gun to the villagers daughters head. That was a horrifying scene that came out of the depths of Oliver Stones memories. Horribly intense.



Thats all I got for now brother,

We will have to make a separate thread for all time great love scenes, sad scenes, fight scenes, chase scenes, etc.

What scenes did you find intense?

Please share!

I still cringe whenever I watch that scene from Platoon. It is one of the most intense scenes ever put on screen. Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket has a couple of good scenes too, like the scene in the Head where Joker confronts Gomer Pyle and Gunny Hartman intervenes. Also the sniper hunt through the building, near the end. -- Al

Al,

Yes:

Full Metal Jacket

Vincent D'Onorfrio's performance as PVT. Pile closes "Act I" of Kubricks Vietnam film in the most heinous of ways. We know something bad is going to happen when we see Pile sitting on the commode, loading rounds into a mag, rifle between his legs and in his under clothes. When Joker walks in he says in the creepiest voice know to man..."Hi-Joker..."



Horribly intense scene. Thanks for reminding me Al.

And one more before I sign off for the night...as far as intense scenes go:

One flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest

Yup, another one I watched when I was like 3 years old...with my parents...in the theaters. When McMurphy gets the shock treatment therapy that was absolutely intense! The sounds of the electricity, the mouth piece and the convulsing afterwards was astonishingly creepy, even to this day.

I still cringe whenever I watch that scene from Platoon.

That why Platoon is one of my favorite war movies. There's a lot of fear in the combat scenes, whereas other war films just depict men doing battle. BTW Al, congrats on being immortalized as your JJD pilot.

Many thanks. Both my wife and daughter are letting me have it non-stop since 'Algy' is much better looking than I am. :rolleyes2:^&grin -- Al
