Fame

I want to live forever!

Actually I could not find anything decent on netflix (I was looking for the Warriors), and I remembered Fame being really exciting in 1979. I think my tastes have changed. It was not painful, but I found it a bit slow and somewhat inane.

Haha. I had the same realization with Animal House with John Belushi, ColdJ. I recall uproariously laughing in the theatre as a teen, as was the entire theatre, filled with other teens. In my 30's, when I attempted to watch it again to recapture that sense of fun, wow... I didn't crack a smile, didn't last through 15-min of fast forwarding & couldn't believe I once found all that slapstick nonsense fun. OTOH, glad to know I grew up, albeit a bit since a teen!

I just saw "Mulberry Street" which was recommended in another thread. That movie is not scary, it's ridiculously stupid. Boooo to whoever recommended it. Incidentally, what is going on w/this movies sub-forum, the layout is strange.

Fast and Furious 6. Corny lines, but that's what you expect from those types of films.

Last three films I saw and my ratings for them:

Glory (1989) - 7.5/10
Office Space (1999) - 8.5/10
Thief (1981) - 7.0/10

All completely different movies, all enjoyable for me in their own ways. Next on the list is 1965's "Repulsion."

Star Trek Into Darkness. Really enjoyed it! Love the young cast and the old jokes.

On TCM today I watched a favorite old movie titled Five Came Back. It was made in 1939. Lucille Ball has a part it but there is no comedy in this movie.

Right after that was Back from Eternity which is a remake of the above mentioned movie. It was made in 1952, I think. Both are good movies.

I like old movies. In particular I like the old Charlie Chan movies.

It sure is nice to be retired.
