Black Caesar. I was impressed with the writing. It felt like I was back in Richmond in the early 70's with some of the dialog.

Deliverance was a great movie. Great book, too.
I think about everything else Reynolds did never bumped the bar higher than OK. |

Aimless is right. I’ve tried watching older movies that I remembered as being awesome and they are almost always unwatchable. It’s the dialogue and general flow that’s just clunky and awkward.
Yeah there are still bad movies made today but I’m not talking about some fringe B rated POS, I’m talking highly acclaimed ones. I recommended the original West World to a millennial friend one time before the HBO show existed. He called me and said “Dude I hope you were joking because it was horrible.” |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think that out the window stunt man fall may still hold some kind of record for stupid dangerous stunts Dar Robinson At 220 feet, the stunt from Atlanta's Hyatt Regency Hotel (doubling for the Westin Peachtree Plaza) in the 1981 Burt Reynolds film Sharky's Machine still holds up as the highest free-fall stunt ever performed from a building for a commercially released film. However, despite it being a record-setting fall, only the beginning of the stunt as he goes through the window is used in the film. A dummy was used for the outside wide shot.[7] However, Robinson performed a similar falling stunt for his largest role as an actor in the 1985 Burt Reynolds film Stick, but this time all but the end of the stunt is fully visible as he is seen from above falling from a tall building firing a pistol at the same time.  Robinson returned to Toronto to attempt a world record cable jump from the CN Tower for a feature-length television documentary film called The World's Most Spectacular Stuntman. The first test of the cable using a bag of water equal to Robinson's weight smashed into the ground when the braking mechanism failed. High winds and bad weather delayed the jump until August 12, 1980. Although visibly nervous, he leapt from the tower's edge, plummeting more than 1,200 feet (366 m) tied to only a 1/8" (3 mm) steel cable, stopping only a short distance above the ground. For this feat he was listed as highest paid stuntman for a single stunt to date in the 1988 Guinness Book of Records. One article claims he received an honorary Academy Award in 1995 for his work,[9] but it is not listed in the Academy database |

I love 70s flicks. Many really captured off the beaten path locations at the time, places seen as a bit lost in time in the 70s. There was a grittiness, a cynicism as the Vietnam war ground to an unfortunate end. Phenomenal WW2 flicks came out.
I also think Trump sign vandal girl is kinda cute in that trailer park sort of way, so...... |

Quoted: Every once in awhile I watch some old movie I vaguely remember as a kid but never watched. The kids were in bed and my wife was out so I tried to watch Gator. Wow-If it weren't for the chases and stunts* you'd think it was a Cub Scout skit. And of course those movies are slow as molasses. Today a scene were the Star is offered a hooker who turns out to be a high school girl on heroine would take 3 minutes not ten. A scene where Burt Reynolds is given a drink with barbiturates and passes out took forever. I noticed this a few years ago when I rewatched the Dirty Harry movies. They also used to have gratuitous titty scenes. Not sex scenes with the star, but topless women in a pool scene, or seeing a half naked woman through a window or in a strip club. The shag carpet covered floors and walls in Gator had me recoiling in horror. I think it was a different time where they must have thought after a long week at a factory in the 70s you just wanted to relax with your wife at a simple movie after a steak and before getting shitfaced and driving home plowed. * how many movies have a big car (or boat) chase with real vehicles? Baby Driver did-great movie. But now? Would you really see a dozen boats or cars, a helicopter all smashing the shit out of each other with real stunt men ? Hal Needham/Brad Pitt. Typical Reynolds Needham style movie. I get Gator and White Lightening confused. Is this the Ford 429 movie? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KC-130 FLT ENG: Yeah, 70’s movies really didn’t age well. At all. It was an era of independent movies, usually made for an adult, serious audience. In the 80 Hollywood discovered that the audience actually hade the mental facility of an 8 year old boy. That’s when they started making the movies you like. |
