there's so much i could joke about but this movie also made me cry

well this destroyed me

this movie was like a nice reassuring hug, one that makes you cry a bit cause you feel comfortable in its presence.

I play baseball, and have for as long as I can , since pre-school I think. At the time of this review I am 21 years old, and have the privilege to still play this wonderful game into my college years. Next year will be my final season as a player. Each year in college, you watch as your team inevitably loses the final game that year, and you embrace the seniors as they cry, knowing that's the last time they will step on a field as a player. With each ing year, you start to figure out that you are one step closer to being that senior, and you cry a little more each time. Next year is my turn, and I will, of course, cry unconsolably for a while, as we all do.

and it finally hit me when watching this movie that I will never get to relive the moments, no matter how hard I try. But that doesn't matter in the long run. I'll still have the game close to me. I'll still go to games, coach, and hell, maybe I'll play in some adult weekend league when I'm older and try to continue the fun I've had playing this great sport. Enjoy what you have when you have it, you never know how much it means until it's gone. This movie captures this perfectly: you'll miss everything about the game, even the bad moments. But the game never truly goes away, your relationship to it just changes.

some thoughts about this... thing

1. shirley maclaine cameo!!
(easily the second best film featuring shirley maclaine to take place at new years)
2. holy shit the first half succcccccccks
3. why does it take forever to get good
4. sammy davis jr. I'm sorry you deserved better
5. frank sinatra, stick to singing brother
6. blackface?? whyyyyyyy
7. actually ok at times but frustrating as well, this could've been a lot better
8. glad they remade this

2.75/5

what a fun flick this is!

Watched this again, and still disappointed. Why do holocaust movies feel the need to avoid the perspective of the prisoners? So frustrating. Sometimes you need to show what tragedy looks like in order to fully understand. Shit like this does nothing. Shame.

This review may contain spoilers.

1. billy wilder is my king
2. that iconic scene isn't even that cool tbh
3. how in the worlddo y'all think this movie is at all sympathetic to the protagonist??
4. pretty funny
5. moral: boo sexism (I mean Monroe doesn't even have a name in the movie ffs, does that not say it all?)
6. S-tier delusion from bro

on a nice lil charlie heston run of films atm, and this was a solid movie. lil dystopian vibe that looks like shit (in a good way) that matches the hellscape they live in. another iconic ending that people know more about than the actual film itself. Overall fine, didn't really like the love subplot but whatever. Heston delivers another great performance.

btw soylent green looks good idgaf

who would win: 100 apes or 1 human?

a stellar movie that takes issues of racism, religious anti-scientific sentiment, and ignorance head-on. absolutely incredible, and certainly underrated. I'm not sure if people truly understand how influential and sharp this movie is. The ending is iconic, and for a reason.

i love progressive-era charlton heston more than many of my best friends (don't ask about his later years)

man the visuals on this thing rock. feels like a love letter to the hippie scene, and I love it, man. its got a vibe, man

ts pmo bruh ts so owen

fuck the A's, go mariners!

nice movie, i can't for the life of me how I found it but it's pretty cool

forgot to rate this a while back. cool movie, looks great

does not do the book justice at all. a disappointing adaptation. hopefully someday someone can do this book a service and make a great movie out of it. que un desafio.

cant believe they fucked this up so bad, it could've been incredible. I'm still mad as I was when I first saw this back when it was released

this was a cool watch when i was in middle school I guess idk

watched this during a ten hour flight and liked it. good movie

Watched on Friday April 25, 2025.

Walked out of this dogshit 1/2 way through. Jesus Christ did this suck

Why didn't they simply nuke the terminator?

maybe one day one of these will come out soon enough to capture a mariners playoff appearance... maybe

great movie, james caan delivers an awesome performance. love the connection between his lectures and his own psychology and thought process throughout the movie, which gets to the heart of gambling addiction: the thrill. it isn't about the money, its about the rush and the risk you take.

this movie has aged poorly only the that 44000 is worth a lot less now than it was then

i feel like some fucked up amalgamation of all four main characters together and I'm not sure that's a good thing in any way but this movie was cool so whatever

just ed this movie, it sucks

this is literally insane

Rewatching this sent me down an insane rabbit hole about the lore of Charlton Heston and his political views over his lifetime, leading me to question whether anyone can be genuinely deemed good or bad and how recency bias plays a part. His work in civil rights was incredible and groundbreaking at the time. However, being president of the NRA and ing Goldwater and Reagan are still stains on his legacy. Heston was undoubtedly an incredible actor; as to his person as a whole, who can say. Some may say yes, others no. I respect that he stood up for civil rights at a time when few in Hollywood dared to do so. However, I cannot defend his NRA advocacy and stint as president, as well as his conservative shift. Regardless, he is someone who deserves to be ed regardless of one's political beliefs. RIP, Charlton Heston.

Anyway: great movie, kind of propagandistic towards Christianity but idgaf its insanely good.

BAN SEX SCENES IN MOVIES FOR FUCK SAKE

if the shawty from Sunset Boulevard (1950) actually got to relive her glory days

this movie was good

super preachy about christianity, less so than the original, but this is pretty good

jane russell oooooooooooooh

sex scene so fucking random but this was alright otherwise

racism defeated (besides blackface and cultural mockery)
