Recommend some good movies!

Luciferina, if you want to be scared in Spanish.

Watched the Sparks doc on Netflix and while it’s well done, I’m still ambivalent about them.  Don’t get me wrong they have written some great singles, but I can take or leave much of their catalog.

Also watched “Count Me In” which was also good, but kinda made me want to just see a full doc focused on jazz drummers.

I felt the same way about the Sparks movie and the band as well. I still think the Mael Brothers would have been a great name for the band in an ironic way; neither of them are the most masculine (in spite of the singer being a high school QB.)

I'll have to check out the other film.

The Tom Petty Doc looks Cool.
I just finished the Sparks Doc. Really a fun watch. I don't think I would really enjoy seeing them in concert. But, if anyone has an extra, let me know.

I neither think this is good nor recommend it…but it is a movie ;)
Jonah Hill To Play Jerry Garcia In Martin Scorsese-Directed Grateful Dead Pic

Saw Eternals on Monday. It was… fine. Personally I would wait for it on Disney Plus but I was jonesing to see a legit theater movie since the pandemic. Not one of my favorite MCU films but not the worst either.

for Apple

The key - in my mind- to a good biopic and it’s rarely done would be to concentrate the timeframe…almost like a play… and in that “play” tell us everything about the person…. What made them who they are and foreshadowing what’s to come…With good screenplay writing you could set a show in San Francisco- key to having Bill Graham in it- and do an hour before show, some show, and an hour after… it could work really well

Biopics suck cause they all follow this stupid arc of what a cliched rock stars life should be…how can you condense a life to 120 minutes?

Honestly I would set it in the 1971-1974 timeframe…not quite sure the year

The Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast covers this timeframe and is excellent!

icould be interesting. 

what i definitely find interesting from this movie's wiki page:

Running time: 
106 minutes (International)
86 minutes (United States)

why they hell are they cutting almost 20% of the movie for the US of A?  censorship?  assumption that attention spans won't last more than 100 minutes here?  and:

Budget  € 930,000

getting a bunch of major festival nods (including the Oscars) for a million?  well done.

interesting

just never been a 'go to a movie theater to watch a band' kinda guy

this new doc looks very interesting… it's on showtime

Loved French dispatch

The new Ghostbusters is fun and great.  It took me back, and was a great introduction of the series to a whole new generation. 

Really cool to have Flawd back on Board. When did he go gay?

I'm pretty sure, everyone is now, gay.
