π This Week Nov 11-17 2024
Added 2024-11-13 16:26:05 +0000 UTCThis week we have a couple more Seins, the second LOTR Extended Edition, 2 more Treks and Sicario, which I've been really wanting to see and I've been told I need to watch before it gets spoiled!
It just occurred to me that Christmas is in 6 weeks!? What the frig! Man time flies when you're having fun watching great movies and shows :)
I'm trying to brainstorm some holiday movies we can watch when it gets to be that time (after US Thanksgiving). Do you guys have any suggestions? I've still never seen It's a Wonderful Life so that's probably a must-see!
THANK YOU for being here! I'm having such a blast watching with you and I hope you are too β‘β‘β‘
Hope everyone has a great week! β‘β‘β‘
xoxo

Traffic with Michael Douglass is the film that made him a Benicio a star and it's a great movie as well.

2025-03-24 05:27:36 +0000 UTCIt'll be here before too long, I'm sure. π I'm bursting for series 3 myself. It is outstanding! π€£π https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1181372857985552384/1299397653016215695/IMG_20241025_133931.jpg?ex=673f54de&is=673e035e&hm=cd45dfa1f92bf8234684e53dd03d1f51ec62780754e2ef0e4be5d956f7b4bb03&

2024-11-20 17:25:40 +0000 UTCFor clarity's sake, we are talking about It's a Wonderful Life, right?

2024-11-14 13:38:08 +0000 UTCPlease please watch the black and white version not the colorized one first. I was in my mid early twenties when I first saw it's a wonderful life completely... I actually saw the colorized version of the film and was completely blown away the whole story everything I thought it was fabulous I really couldn't believe I had never seen it before then two days later the black and white version was shown and I watched that and was completely blown away it was so much better and I couldn't believe how it could get much better what a great film I can't wait to watch it with you.

2024-11-14 12:01:01 +0000 UTCBad Santa. It's absolutely hilarious. Also, if you want a Kubrick film that takes place during the Christmas season, Eyes Wide Shut could be an option. That one is not very cheery though.

2024-11-14 10:31:27 +0000 UTCChristmas with the Kranks is wonderful and funny!
Chuck Jacobson
2024-11-14 09:53:20 +0000 UTCPrecisely. She did not disappoint during the "Is it the Frank or the beans" scene in Something About Mary, she did not disappoint with the Lust murder in Se7en

2024-11-14 05:33:11 +0000 UTC"The Holdovers" 2023 is my Christmas movie recommendation
Matt
2024-11-14 04:44:06 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to Sicario
Matt
2024-11-14 04:41:41 +0000 UTCOkay thanks. So you anticipate Jen's reaction (look on her face) to a particular scene in the movie to be a landmark moment. That sounds great and perfect for a YT video.
Clay F
2024-11-14 03:05:40 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I'd thought it was clear I was talking about the look of Jen's reaction during the sequence. And not impossible to skip the sequence just not worth doing so because I anticipate Jen's reaction to be a landmark moment
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-14 03:00:34 +0000 UTCI am not sure that I understand your reply. When you say "her" face, are you referring to Jen's face or to the face of a character in the movie? Also, why is it impossible to blur, abbreviate, or skip a sequence in the YT edit?
Clay F
2024-11-14 00:38:58 +0000 UTCAgree to disagree. Her face during the sequence in question...it's moments like that that are the reason I'm here
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-14 00:14:40 +0000 UTCYes, definitely watch It's a Wonderful Life. It's a classic for a reason. My favorite Christmas movie.
Joel P
2024-11-13 23:52:41 +0000 UTCYou have legitimate concern about EWS but a YT edit would be fine. Further, blurred images are acceptable and expected. Also, no real need for the full 5 minute chunk you describe imo.
Clay F
2024-11-13 23:24:37 +0000 UTCFor xmas I suggest a french movie called "8 Femmes" (2002) director is François Ozon. I don't think you've seen anything like it.
RSK1995
2024-11-13 22:18:59 +0000 UTCHi Jen fyi the movie "it's wonderful life" exits both in b&w and color.
RSK1995
2024-11-13 22:11:55 +0000 UTCSeconding Edward Scissorhands and EWS. Though EWS comes with a "but" that is heavy editing will be necessary. Like I can see there being a 5 minute chunk in the YT edit that is mostly just close up on Jen facecam against a blurred background
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-13 22:07:22 +0000 UTCIt's kinda both to me and can be seen during either or both holidays
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-13 20:57:21 +0000 UTCGood recommendations, mike! I haven't seen Trapped in Paradise since probably '95, underrated in general me thinks. And filmed in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Bad Santa and Elf are new-ish classics too. Haven't seen Krampus or THH myself.

2024-11-13 20:46:12 +0000 UTCWhat a freaking awesome week. Yes always to Seinfeld and TNG. I love Sicario (2015) (my favorite Benicio del Toro performance and that's saying a lot). I absolutely love Two Towers extended edition (I saw the theatrical cut in the theater when released and scenes were stunning on the big screen). Movies to consider for the holiday season: Elf (2003) Youβve Got Mail (1998) The Apartment (1960) [AFI Top 100] About a Boy (2002) Edward Scissorhands (1990) While You Were Sleeping (1995) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1967) A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Clay F
2024-11-13 20:12:20 +0000 UTC+1 for The Holdovers (2023), Bad Santa (2003), and The Family Man (2000)
Clay F
2024-11-13 20:00:15 +0000 UTCAnd S9E8 The Betrayal is like the Memento of Seinfeld lol. IYKYK
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-13 19:29:22 +0000 UTCI think it's more a Christmas movie
Witchfinder General
2024-11-13 18:43:10 +0000 UTCChristmas Suggestions: The Holdovers (2023) (7.9 on IMDB) Bad Santa (2003) (7.0 on IMDB) Scrooged (1988) (6.9 on IMDB) The Family Man (2000) (6.8 on IMDB) Christmas Adjacent: Frozen River (2008) (7.1 on IMDB) Lonesome Jim (2005) (6.5 on IMDB)
Witchfinder General
2024-11-13 18:42:31 +0000 UTC'The Keys' is like the Lord of the Rings of Seinfeld. An epic trilogy to kick off the epic 4th season
Witchfinder General
2024-11-13 18:35:25 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang counts, I say
Reece Potter
2024-11-13 18:25:17 +0000 UTCScrooged (1988) with Bill Murray is a fun Christmas movie. Dir by Richard Donner.
Jason Scade
2024-11-13 17:58:06 +0000 UTCIs The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) a halloween or christmas movie? It's some of Danny Elfmans best work and he also does the voice for the main character. Whatever you do, stay away from The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). It contains madness in many small packages.
Scaredy-cat
2024-11-13 17:42:48 +0000 UTCLooks like another great EXTENDED week! π You should definitely see Scrooged (1988) with Bill Murray and Elf (2003) with Will Ferrell for Christmas season. You'll have a JOLLY good time.
Major Peril
2024-11-13 17:23:31 +0000 UTCWow, TNG S6 incoming. Time really flies. Some Christmas movie suggestions: 8-BIT CHRISTMAS (2021) - an 80s childhood adventure, watched it last year and found it quite nostalgic and overall entertaining. THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (1940) - also watched it last year for the first time and really enjoyed it, large part due to my surprise it is based on a Hungarian stage play. I never knew that. An additional suggestion, which is not really Christmas movie, but Christmas-adjacent: KISS KISS, BANG BANG (2005) - a very underrated gem with RDJ and Val Kilmer, written and directed by Shane Black
GΓ‘bor Γrki
2024-11-13 17:22:46 +0000 UTCYes, Wonderful Life is a must see. Also recommending Trapped in Paradise(1994), Bad Santa(2003), Krampus(2015), The Hebrew Hammer(2003), and Elf(2003)
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-13 17:15:57 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. It's so good, as is James Stewart. Being a fan of PATRICK Stewart, A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1999), where he plays Scrooge. Also, according to your Movie Requests page, you haven't seen A CHRISTMAS STORY. Classic. As for a more modern, not for kids - but funny as hell movie, BAD SANTA.

Jackson Bross
2024-11-13 17:06:04 +0000 UTCFriday After Next (although that's the THIRD one the Friday series) it's been a recent Christmas classic for me! Also, Jingle All the Way with AHNOLD! π€£
Carlos Perez
2024-11-13 17:02:42 +0000 UTC"Time flies when you're having fun watching great movies and shows" I wouldn't know. :-P :-P Prompted by your "bee's knees" in the Up reaction, I once again recommend Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995). "If I may say so, you are most definitely the bee's knees."
Happy Hanukkah
2024-11-13 17:01:58 +0000 UTCπ π»The raunchy "Bad Santa" 1 & 2 will tickle your funny bones and bring on the Xmas cheer!
Romero
2024-11-13 16:49:01 +0000 UTCBad Santa and A Christmas Story are my votes for holiday movies.
Budsfan67
2024-11-13 16:37:22 +0000 UTCInstead of movies, how about Christmas episodes of TV shows?
Brian Leonard
2024-11-13 16:35:14 +0000 UTCFab line-up. Sicario is excellent. The Two Towers. β₯
Jason Scade
2024-11-13 16:35:06 +0000 UTCTHIS. Nobody ever does, and it makes me crazy. Sicario 2 isn't the sequel to Sicario, those movies are - though you've reversed the order HoHW first, then Wind River - not that it really matters too much, but by release order... Sic2 is the movie he was essentially forced to make even though he didn't plan to, and it sets up a movie that I think we all know is never going to happen.
Martin Nicholls
2024-11-13 16:34:39 +0000 UTCWind River is so good
Simon Haynes
2024-11-13 16:32:46 +0000 UTCAre you still going to finish the IT Crowd?
Jabin (Aelic)
2024-11-13 16:32:06 +0000 UTCSicario π Now you HAVE to do "Wind River" and "Hell Or High Water" to complete The Frontier Trilogy
Chris Shine
2024-11-13 16:28:22 +0000 UTCAbout to hit the best of Seinfeld.
