WSS Yeah for a guy who was just a MoCap artist (Andy Sirkis)... His acting skills totally shocked me... It was brilliantly done... There'll be another installment of the franchise with Cornelius becoming the central figure.. I can't wait!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Agree on the Ape reboot... I had low expectations, but the CGI-fueled, FX advances really worked. Aside... the original Heston movie was the first time a book I'd read was brought to the big screen. Book title caught my eye while browsing my Jr. HS Library. My only gripe with the movie was that the Taylor-Nova sex scenes weren't included... They were fairly hot in the book as I recall, but then when you're a 14-yo male, it doesn't take much to start your engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the Solvents' Shipping, Day Head Operator was a youngish fellow named Danny Boyer whose picture was in the dictionary next to "Good ol' Boy". I got to know Danny pretty well thru Rec Assn sports including softball, B-ball, etc. I even helped him coach his Little League Football team for a while (that's a whole 'nother story). Anywho... one time our regular B-ball group showed up for B-ball nite at the HS gym and Danny's youth team was still playing... games had run long that evening. After the game I was chatting with Danny and he introduced to his Asst Coach, "This is Tour... he's a Northerner." I asked, "Northerner? Is that better than a Yankee?" Danny with out skipping a beat replied, "It's as good as you can get." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Almost forgot why I stopped by here... lol... Another one is on Sundance channel today and it's another "western''... of sorts... The Quick and the Dead Cartoonish storyline with cartoonish characters, but how bad can a movie with Hackman, a young Russell Crowe and an even younger DiCaprio be? Of course there is Sharon Stone to contend with, but she sports a smokey voice thruout that can melt your skivvies... and I didn't even know cotton had a melt point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That channel has some pretty good movies.. I really love INSP.. They play the original Gunsmoke epi's and some really good westerns.. I hope they play The Sabato westerns that featured Lee VanCleef.. Those were pretty good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz the Cat and the old Zapp Comics and one called Marshall Law. But I'd never heard of the Sin City graphic novel. And never looked at it even after the movie.

Tour2ma Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Another grabbed me late a few nites ago... That Thing You Do... Tom Hanks' first directing effort and a pretty good effort at that. The title song could have been a hit in the 60's. I thought Tom Everett Scott was going to have a bigger career than he's had so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
