WHEN MOVIES WERE MOVIES

 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of my favourite movies, I remember seeing it when it came out in 2008, and watching it again now, it's hard to believe it's 17 years old. David Fincher is a great director, and sometimes Brad Pitt is a great actor too. 

I wonder if there will ever be any great movies again, or will the movie industry just continue to collapse like the music industry - https://yts.mx/.../the-curious-case-of-benjamin-button-2008

 

I'm into watching Formula 1 racing, and the only new movie in 2025 that I had any interest in checking out was "F1", again staring Brad Pitt. In all honesty it was the first movie this decade I really wanted to see, because I think the movie industry has totally lost the plot, and I'm not interested in watching lame and gay, woke garbage. F1 is very much an old school 80's style movie, but the action is spectacular, and I enjoyed it.

TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE

This movie is from 1987, and it is based on a Norman Mailer book, it got terrible reviews, and many people consider it to be appalling. In some ways it is, but I have to say I still think it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.

I recently watched it again, and still found it enthralling. Yes the acting is a bit odd, but compared to the limp, woke, turgid crap that passes for movies these days, this is a work of sheer genius.

The reviews are terrible, but ignore them, reviewers don't know shit from chewed dates. And this movie is definitely chewed dates!

This review is quite entertaining really: https://film-authority.com/2021/03/24/tough-guys-dont-dance/

 "Tough Guys Don’t Dance is trash, but it’s amusingly self-important trash, a film that lays open the vanities and miscalculations of the creative force behind it"

"For bad movie fans, it’s a masterpiece of over-ripe dialogue, ridiculously melodramatic situations, and rabid, macho posturing that curdles the moment it hits the screen. Over 30 years later, we’re still talking about Tough Guys Don’t Dance"
