OT: 108th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nine dozen eggs and not one broken

[Rebels57]

Glass Onion and Bullet Train were both great

I enjoyed Bullet Train. Aaron-Taylor Johnson was the standout for me.

Planning on watching Glass Onion this weekend.

That’s ignorant as shit, wow.

It’s sick. It’s not as if there were a shortage of Renner pics to choose from.

As one Twitter user quipped: “Using his hospital pic like the snow plow was the father.”

Just finished watching 'Hustle' on Netflix the adam sandler philly set basketball movie. Pretty good watch.

Followed that up by finishing up Season 1 of Abbott Elementary, pretty good show in the same vein as Parks and Rec/The Office.

Looks like Netflix has a new Christian Bale movie about a murder at West Point called The Pale Blue Eye, watching that now.

Pale Blue Eye was long, boring, and dumb. Not my type of movie. 3/10

This Tweet made me want to delve into the original 1966-68 Batman series (although the scene being referenced in the tweet was from a movie they made during that time).



The lads were hard at work. Season 1 featured 34 half hour episodes, which were aired from Jan to May 1966.

Season 2 jumped to 60 half hour shows, aired from Sep. 1966 to Mar. 1967.

The last season had 26 half hour episodes having aired from Sep 1967 to Mar 1968.

ABC ended up canceling the show near the end of the 3rd season based on a significant ratings drop. Several of the actors on the show had become so typecast that they had difficulty finding work after the show ended.

Sometimes the best new shows are the ones that are new to you without necessarily being recent. I had seen some before but now I feel like catching up.

I’d take the snow plows hockey skills over the father.

That movie is classic. I think my favorite part is when he's running around trying to get rid of a bomb. The bomb being a basketball sized, black ball with a fuse coming out of it. I think it even had "Bomb" printed on it

The shark scene is my favorite.

Worst day fellas, I have talked many a times about my Piper Giroux, today was her last day at 15.25 years old.

It was time, and man did she have a good life !

I am very sorry to hear, Benny.

I just finished the first season of White Lotus. I don't get the hype with this show.

"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!"

 

[Runner77]

The shark scene is my favorite.

Classic!

And of course, the bomb scene:



Some of the signs and inscriptions on the show gave much more information than a modern audience of the target age group would expect or want. Simple things like superfluous instructions on the wall once the sliding door was activated by the open Shakespeare bust:

What is the sense of identifying how to get to the Batcave? Is that information not supposed to be only known to them?

What's with the "Batpoles", they don't do anything -- it's not as if pole dancing had been invented.

And the poles have their names on it? Just noticed that Bruce's pole is thicker, jeez that doesn't sound right. Never mind.

I’d take a look at someone’s online footprint before letting them splooge in me. Bit of a red flag to challenge randoms to a fight

Wait. What?

That's awesome! On a serious note, I may have to look into getting some shark repellant spray. Probably not something you would need often, but man...when you do?

This kind of thing is why I love movies. I've always loved this scene for this exact reason. I've never thought of Red Hair thinking "wait I like the son's answer," I always thought of him hearing a Khan's answer and thinking "it's a matter of time before this guy gets me out of his way"

Brilliantly executed scene. Even in "mindless" movies you can find carefully constructed mindful scenes and themes. Movies are deliberate.

The only thing I think he got “wrong” was the wheel of pain.
It didn’t “do” anything in a real sense. It wasn’t a mill. It was just a heavy object the slaves could perpetually move to break their spirit, build their muscle, and keep them too tired and hungry to try to escape.

I love Hogan’s Heroes.

The window thing was a running gag

To all of us who have lost a loved one in the last year or is dealing with a family illness (includes pets and friends)

Whenever we have run into The Child's teachers, they always rave about how sweet and kind and helpful she is. The new year's resolution she wrote in class is to be helpful to one of her classmates who is having a hard time. They made a birthday book for her, and everyone was listing how nice she is as their favorite thing about her.

CONTRAST THAT WITH HOW I'M TREATED. It's like I absorb all of her violence for the rest of the world. Everyone is welcome. What a service I do.

She already has "them" on her side. I'm trying to come up with something, but I think you're f***ed dudebrah
