There are not that many films about scientists. 'The imitation game.' with Cumberbatch I recommend rather than 'Theory of everything,' that came after.OmCheeto said:
Yes, I really, really liked that one too!pinball1970 said:
. And I also think the acting was excellent.Weird.Johnny Yuma said:
Had to look that acronym up: "All Quiet On The Western Front".Bystander said:
Johnnie, so-so movie; Execution , not popular at TAMU (Rudder Tower) where I post-doc'd, and "duller than dirt" on-screen...my recollection is falling asleep halfway through both the movie and the book. Books? The Good Soldier Schweik, Jaroslav Hasek, an unfinished masterpiece, still in my library, as is Johnnie...not so Eddie...I never throw books away.Klystron said:
Thanks for the info. I read 'Johnnie' and 'Eddie' long time ago. Speed read. Might dislike them now. WWII era "Catch 22" book and movie much better, though Heller's cynicism grates.Bystander said:
Yes!Klystron said:
Sharks and Little Fish/Hai und Kleine Fisch(?sp), Wolfgang Ott; don't think it ever made the screen, may have inspired L-GB's work.Klystron said:
I reckon The Academy should've had Homey waiting in the wings behind Chris Rock, then sneak out and execute his trademark when the latter made a too-offensive joke. (He would have been funnier than Will Smith...)WWGD said:
Me neither, though I probably failed to understand it correctly. Young boy trying to squeeze up into his baby sitter's <ahem>. How on Earth did that get past the censors?Klystron said:
I watched the movie and then, much later, the TV series, mainly captivated by Lizzy Caplan who seems incredibly skilled at playing nutcases of varying severity. I was surprised when she turned up in True Blood.Klystron said:
IDK. I cannot stomach Gunter Grass, never watched the film. Also dislike J.D. Salinger of "Crapper in the Rye" fame.strangerep said:
Oh wow. First I learned about the TV series. Thanks. I liked True Blood despite not being much of a fantasy fan. Anna Paquin always turns in brava performances despite sounding like Holly Hunter after crashing her car in J. G. Ballard's "Crash". Deep South and sexy with it.strangerep said:
Yep, no argument. Maybe next time I watch Kaptain-Lieutenant survives the war?strangerep said:
I keep thinking he must have had something important to say, but,... (sigh).Klystron said:
Yeah, I'd watch Anna Paquin in just about anything. It surprises/(disappoints?) me though, how tiny many famous actors are. Well, compared to me anyway. When I occasionally see them in real life I have to stifle a laugh.Klystron said:
I'll say nothing,... nuh...thing... (can't really do a Sgt Schultz impersonation without the voice.)Klystron said:

Cannot gag down Ladd; ever wonder where/why/how/who thinks TC can play Jack Reacher?PeroK said:
TC, of course, and most of the Church of Scientology when TC is in the room.Bystander said:
I like TC One has to push past the culty stuff same with John Travoltastrangerep said:TC, of course, and most of the Church of Scientology when TC is in the room.
The guy they have in the series is huge. Alan Ritchson is 6' 4" and about 235 lbs and in great shape.Bystander said:
Concur, although I really like "Top Gun" despite the film's flaws. I would like to watch the recent "Top Gun" sequel if only to see TC reunite with Val Kilmer, now effectively mute due to illness.pinball1970 said:
Danny Trejo won't do his own stunts now that he's "big" box office; he gets hurt, the whole crew's out of work, and he's not comfortable letting his ego get in the way of other people's livings.Klystron said:
Was TC in "Risky Business"?? I only remember Rebecca de Mornay.Klystron said:
