I thought the general train of thought was that the Golden Globes were horseshit and a joke
That's why I didn't think too badly of that first Gary Oldman quote in that one tweet
But then someone posted another

I was citing that fact as evidence one might use to back up that opinion

So my roommate has held for a while that Luke Skywalker looking at the binary suns is his favorite scene in cinema.
And he'd constantly ask me for mine, and I didn't have one for a while.
But, after watching Jurassic Park, I think mine might be when Alan Grant & Eli Sattler see dinosaurs for the first time.
That scene is filled with so much hope and joy and optimism.
Its beaming with happiness.
And forty minutes later the film shifts into full on terror mode.

I thought I was having some sort of break with reality when I saw the trailers for Liam Neeson's new Train Movie where he solves a train conspiracy. I could've sworn that there was already a movie where Neeson is contacted mysteriously on public transit and has to find the terrorists. Turns out yeah, he did Non-Stop in 2014 which was a Plane Conspiracy and this train thing is different.
What's bizarre to me is that this new movie isn't a sequel, it's just the same basic premise, again
why must we as a society continue to trap Liam Neeson in large vehicles and force him to solve riddles? He has suffered enough.
Jurassic Park is always full terror mode! It's a nightmare zoo filled with a mad billionaires bullfrog-dinosaur chimeras! It's madness back to front, madness Hammond! How many must die?!

That makes me think of a crazy thing man, me and a friend did "what the fucks on netflix" and amazingly there was Jaws immediately so we watched Jaws and I know for a stone cold human fact that they were upright and eyes open during that scene and they blanked on it, didn't follow, boring
I'm still shaken

So, I finally got around to watching Coco.
Boy does that movie have a couple moments where it just wrenches your heart out, huh?
I don't know, either the beginning of the Lion King is my favorite or the end of the Lion King is my favorite

Really that whole movie is a cinematographic feast. Say what you want about the characters or plot but damn there's a lot of exquisitely beautiful shots in that film.
I think almost all my favorite shots are in Tron Legacy, what a gorgeous god damn movie, every frame is my #aesthetic, I would put almost any single one on my wall.

I have never bolted faster from a theater than the ending of Coco. Can't let strangers see the weird looking guy sitting alone in the front row crying. I felt like I got fucking shanked, but had spent the films length telling me that it was ok. I was ok with my shanking.
It really was amazing in that a theme that other studios would just take a visual inspiration from, Pixar dove into the idea of remembrance, legacy, and how people live on.

Waypoint Radio just reminded me that I have still somehow never watched Prince Of Darkness or In The Mouth Of Madness
So I guess that's this weekend sorted
in the mouth of madness is my favorite carpenter movie, and i am OBSSESSED with prince of darkness
I haven't watched either of them myself, but the re-recording of the Mouth of Madness theme on Carpenter's latest record is fucking sick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ771POEli8

What's next? a submarine? Let this man rest
Die Hard in an airport.
Die Hard in...
Liam Neeson on a train.
Liam Neeson on a submarine.
Liam Neeson in a building.
Etc.
but imagine if there were a bunch of movies where Bruce Willis is in a large enclosed space that is taken over by thieves disguised as terrorists and he has to take them down cause the cops can't help, but none of them were in the same continuity.
so it's like if he was John Mcclane in Die Hard and then Sleve Mcdiachel in The Policeman, and he's weirdly just doing the exact die hard premise like they couldn't afford the rights to it
My theory is that there's an alternate universe where the plane movie had some rewrites and became a train movie, and some enterprising scientist took a reel to our universe and sold it to Miramax or whoever
The more I think about it, the more images that come to mind, but I think this frame takes it for me.
What's this
Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker I think. Not one of his one's I've seen.
Yeah, it’s Stalker. I’m a big Tarkovsky fan, and this is my favourite of his movies. It’s also maybe his most accessible, next to Solaris. Check it out!
Here’s the trailer for the new restoration. The Criterion 4K release is stunning.

I'm not sure if it's my absolute favorite but it's up there.
Field of Dreams.
Ray forces Terrence Mann to go to a baseball game with him. While there he gets another vision of "Moonlight Graham" and realizes he made a mistake dragging Terrance to the game. They leave, Ray drops him off at his apartment in his VW Minibus. It's night, you can see the steam rising from the sewer grates. The camera cuts to a first person perspective as Ray turns the bus around, and you hear that sound. A deep bass tone resonates and Terrance Mann is standing in the middle of the street blocking Ray's progress... "Moonlight Graham" he croaks in James Earl Jones unmistakable tones.

There's a really good short story about this concept, I think it's by Neil Gaiman but I may be misremembering. But in that, the deal was that you couldn't truly move on until you were forgotten, so if you were famous it became kind of a curse, like Jesus is stuck there for eternity while other people get to see what comes next.

I just bought a DVD set of his without knowing anything about him really. I've been looking forward to getting to stalker and solaris.

The only other moment that for me could compete against that dino-introduction scene from Jurassic Park would be when Peter finally becomes Pan in Hook.

Mine is the climax of speed racer
It's so happy and exciting and overwhelming
It still makes me tear up

Because boy howdy, that would be it

Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker I think. Not one of his one's I've seen.
Another (not so recent) is Gandalf explaining death to Pippin in Return of the King. I tear up every time.
I literally gasped seeing it in Imax.

My friend and I occasionally would randomly scream IM SORRY ABOUT THE BALLS at one another for a good bit.

oh no it was David Eagleman. Jeffrey Tambor read it on radiolab http://www.radiolab.org/story/91681-when-am-i-dead/
it's called Metamorphosis
and now I'm intrigued
how much time do you think was wasted on that set by everyone laughing when the camera operator said "rolling"
ten minutes? ten hundred minutes?
