Movie thread

guess none of them were boy/girl scouts where you leave the area nicer than you found it. Why were people not responsible for taking their garbage back down with them?

my guess is people pay big bucks to do it and figure its someone else's problem.... I don't think LNT exists much outside the US

there is very little environmental consideration outside the US on every level

The mentality of most tourists regardless of origin or destination. It's why I hated living in a tourist town and refuse to go back.

Can you imagine what the people that clean out hotel rooms in Las Vegas see

They should have made a home alone, Las Vegas

Went and saw a walk in the woods over the weekend.. Was ok, the book is about two guys hiking the Appalachian trail, the movie is about two guys who haven't seen each other in 20 years rekindle a friendship...

Really made me a little homesick to be honest- lots of good familiar scenery..

I finally saw McFarland, USA , and Up in the Air.

McFarland, USA , made me tear up near the end. It's like Stand and Deliver, but with running.

Up in the Air kinda sucker punched me at the end.

 

[Road Guy]

Yea that movie is really sad all around (up in the air)

I love all those Disney feel good sports movies and McFarland was no exception.

I finally saw American Sniper on HBO. Pretty good flick, and pretty f*cked up at times (the part with the kid and the drill just had me shaking my head at those sick f*cks).

Finally got around to watching Elysium.

For the fat chicken-out scientist in Interstellar and super-exeskeleton convict in Elysium, Matt has a lot to make up for. Maybe he can redeem himself with The Martian (which at first glance has good reviews).

I will give Elysium an A for some pretty cool sci-fi concepts, like an open top, centripetal gravity-based biosphere in space, and I will also give it an A for helicopters/spaceships, explosions, and super-cool weapons.

Plot, storyline, and acting get a C-.

Seeing Jodi Foster get... spoiler alert

Spoiler

stabbed in the face is definite plus though

 

[Road Guy]

Only made it through about 15 min into that movie....

Oh man, you and me both. I got sick to my stomach watching that part.

Thank you for beating me to the punch this morning. Randy Quaid has actually managed to outperform Uncle Eddie in real life. It's spectacularly bad.

saw Everest last night. holy crap are they proud of their IMAX!

I had read the book by Jon Krakauer, Into Thin Air, where he blames the Russian guide Anatoli Boukreev for much of the problems, then I read Boukreev's book, The Climb, which tells a different story.

The movie is closer to Boukreev's telling.

Amazing footage, I don't know how they got it, but it puts you right there. And I ain't never going there.

I read both of those, and left for dead about beck weathers and kid who climbed Everest about bear grylls. I liked Bear's and Jon's the best of the four. I came to the same conclusion that it's nuts to go there.

Off to see the Martian tonight.
