I think actors were better long ago, cause they had real life personalities that often spilled through into the character they were playing
Where as today's actors come of a bit or a lot 'stiff' to me.
I mean Jack Nicholson actually had a personality, I guess, cause that same personality spilled over, no matter what character he played.
Same with Clint Eastwood, Burt Renold's, Marlon Brando, you know, the classic actor types, and certain female actresses also, I suppose.
Today, when I watch these newer movies on Prime or wherever, the acting just seems so 'stiff'.
Like they're reading from a book or teleprompter or something...even their expressions are stiff.

There comes that time of the day when you just got to lay down and chill, hopefully I can find a good movie to watch to help send me off into la la land.

Will hook up old fashion DVD player to flat screen TV next week
So glad I kept a DVD player where you can just hook to TV and watch movie with no internet required.
Cause so sick of 'streaming' or YT or ect, where can't even just watch a movie without being spied on by tech.
I have plenty of DVD's, older movies, but here's the thing, all they do on Amazon or Netflix or Showtime, HBO, all they do is stream the same movies you already have in your collection, only now you're paying to watch them, or having to put up with annoying commercials to watch what you already own on DVD.
So ye, next week, will hook DVD player up to TV and once again be able to just watch older movies in peace, without commercials.
It's just won't be able to 'screen capture' cool moments in movie, can phone capture but not screen capture.

3 of the most fierce warriors ever  I know Tyson isn't a fictional character, but he fits in well here. Imagine if had to step in a ring and face all three of these characters at once.

Why do people have to butcher a age old movie like this?

It's weird watching older actors take roles in cheezy movies, just to get paid.
I think sometimes we, the viewing public, forget that actors are themselves still employees.

It can be so hard trying to hunt down a fun movie to watch.
Then you end up finding odd stuff like this instead.
Good googly moogly.

I don't feel like watching a movie right now, instead I feel like being in a movie, and for that that means I'll have to go to bed and dream.  |

Aliens, the movie Some odd things about the aliens in that movie franchise 1. They go from baby alien to adult in like less than a day.  I mean it seems they hatch out of someone gut, then like 3 hours later they're a full size adult alien killing others. Also, they seem to be like worms in that it's as if they can have offspring without having sox with another alien. I've seen these alien movies where there's like one alien, but then later there's 3-20 or more. And in some movies there's one giant queen laying eggs 'Alien vs Preditor', but in other movies from the franchise there is no gigantic mother queen, instead just seems any ole alien can reproduce on it's own if environment calls for it. In real life, I don't think such a creature would be that formadible. For one, they don't have a lot of muscle mass at all, they look skeletal, they'd maybe do better underwater. And for 2, their acid blood would kill all the nutrients they need to survive. I mean if their blood is acid, all nutrients and vitamins would evaporate thus in real life such a creature would die of malnutrition.

Good movies are so hard to find now, that when I do find one, I'll watch it like a TV series, 5 minutes here, 15 minutes of it here, 10 minutes the next day.
I try stretching the movie out for as long as I can, and could even do this with several movies all at the same time.

I feel like being in a virtual movie right now  I mean I actually want to be apart of the action for a change, instead of just watching from a flat 1 dimensional screen.

How come in all horror movies, they're all so the same?
Always a monster that delights in killing humans.
Or human villain that delights in killing humans.
In reality it's man, or the writers of such scripts, are the ones who are obscessed with killing other humans, but they do so through film and art, why?
What if there was a monster that instead of killing you, wanted to keep you alive.
What if there was a monster that whenever you escaped by dying, this monster would bring you back to life?
Like in a nightmare when you wake up, you're basically dying in your dream in order to escape, so you wake up.
What if, what if, there was a monster that whenever you tried to actually die from this world, kept bringing you back into it?
Now that would make for a interesting scary movie, but sadly all those who get to write scary movies all think the same.
Always the young group of people, model looking college aged gals paired with geeky dude, and one jock, as they head off to some cabin, always the exact same template, why?
If only I had a 100,000 dollar budget I'd make a scary movie for the ages.
It would not follow the usual movie cliques.
And why not make a movie where older people are terrorized by 'the monster', why always and only college aged types?

What I can't stand about how human nature is portrayed in movies
1. When in a mystery/horror/scary movie, and someone wakes up and finds self locked in a room, they always say
'Hello, hello, can anyone hear me?
Why would anyone say that in real life, I wouldn't.
I mean obviously if you wake up and find yourself locked in a dungeon type room, whomever put you there has bad intentions, so why would the first thing you do is yell out
'Hello! hello, can anyone hear me?....let me out!'
I mean talk about a brainless move.
Whereas I think most smart people would be more stealthy, and instead of making noise, as if irrational person or people who looked you up are rational, I think most people would keep dead quiet and look for a way out without bringing attention to self.
But in movie I'm watching now which is this one
Shadow puppets - 2007
Movie starts off with just such a scene, where half dressed woman in a padded cell starts screaming
'Hello, hello, can anyone hear me??...Let me out of here!'
As if the people crazy enough to look you up in the first place will suddenly come let you out cause you asked them to, I mean are you hobbitding me?
Who writes such dumb scenes in movies? I mean every single movie seems to be like that, where do these writers come from? have they never like lived real life? Cause real life isn't like that. In real life people are far more shy and cautious.
So many sub par people are writing and directing movies today that don't reflect how people really would act, react, in real life.
