Is Birdman a film about the rapper?

Meh. Terrible game. Buffalo is better than that. So conservative on offense. You gotta score occasionally when down there. They settled for fgs. Had a gift fumble towards end to save our cover...right down there...they settle for a fg and miss it anyway.
Im becoming a mush quickly.
For record I like Saints -7 this week..Comment -

Saw Nightcrawler tonight, was good, but not great. Gyllenhall's performance was unnerving, although he reminded me of most autistic poker players that I know. No, huge moments that Oscar is going to love. Probably a favorite to get nominated, but unlikely to win. Film was in the vein of Taxi Driver or Funny Games, but not willing to push all the buttons that it could've. Reminded me of Gone Girl with the hamfisted "message" that was so obvious as to be unnecessary.Last edited by NunyaBidness; 11-15-14, 12:54 AM.Comment -
Which one would you watch in the cinema between Fury, Birdman, Interstellar and Nightcrawler? Have some free tickets i have to burn off. I'm thinking Interstellar. Fury seems to lent it self well to the big screen as well though.Comment -
Scoped this film last night, and I recommend it highly:
Thought I'd post it here, as I know you are a fan. Had the pleasure of seeing the Bad Seeds back in June for the first time. The film is a tad bit indulgent, but otherwise absolutely excellent.Comment -
Haven't seen Fury yet, But I rate Birdman as the best film of the year so far, and I thought Interstellar was pretty stupid.
If 90% of the dialogue was removed from Interstellar I feel like it could be a great film. Without spoiling too much, there are definite similarities between Interstellar and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now imagine if 2001 involved the characters explaining the whats and whys of what was going on at every possible turn. That is Interstellar.Last edited by NunyaBidness; 11-15-14, 12:57 AM.Comment -
Saw this last month at the local arthouse theatre, enjoyed it quite a bit. Cave is so full of himself, but he probably has the right to be.
He also was just on Austin City Limits last week, pretty good if you can find it online.
I've seen him 3 times live now and he seems to do pretty much the same set every time, which is disappointing. I really never need to hear Stagger Lee, Mercy Seat, or Red Right Hand again, wish he'd do some deep cuts, occasionally.
Last show we were in the very front row, he engages with the audience more than any artist I've ever seen.Comment -
I was about 3 rows back from the front, extremely engaging. I'm assuming you saw him on the end of the same tour I caught him on the beginning of. He played all the staples, about half of his last album, only deep cuts we got were "Tupelo" and "From Her To Eternity". Still an absolutely amazing show, the energy that this guy exudes is ridiculous.Comment -
He ALWAYS plays Tupelo and From Her to Eternity. Let me guess, he also played, Jubilee Street, Push the Sky Away, Love Letter, We Real Cool, and Mermaids.
Disappointing when artists do this. Saw Springsteen at Bonnaroo a few years back and he played for like 2 1/2 hours and basically played every song I didn't want to hear and nothing I wanted to hear. I mean seriously, no time for Ghost of Tom Joad, but you're going to play Santa Claus is coming to town? In August?Last edited by NunyaBidness; 11-15-14, 01:09 AM.Comment -
Didn't get We Real Cool, but got the rest of them, for sure. That being said, Jubilee Street is one of my favorite nick cave songs.
Trying to think back and remember all the songs, we got West Country Girl, Do You Love Me, Into My Arms, Let Love In, Red Right Hand...
Still an amazing show though. Ghost of Tom Joad is my favorite Bruce song, I also have an extreme soft spot for the RATM cover:

If we are talking about movies, I'm excited about the movie "The six billion dollar man".. It's in the making now.. Mark Walberg is the bionic man... http://deadline.com/2014/11/mark-wah...rg-1201274727/
Big fan of the original series.. Most of you guys are too young to have seen the tv series but it was way ahead of it's time..
No new trailer yet but the old one still works.. Lol..

I don't know if you give a shit about chess, Nunya, but Magnus Carlsen just made a colossal blunder, then got re-colossal-blundered by Anand in their world championship match. What is this, WSOP?Comment -
Last good film i saw was starred up. highly recommend.

What was the closer for Carlsen?Comment -
Carlsen's game is getting figured out, though. It's almost impossible to take advantage from him late, but his freeform opening play allows, potentially, the opportunity to take advantage early and then refuse to cede it late. Harder than it sounds because of his flawless endgame, and I expect Carlsen to readjust as he always does, though.Comment -
Lol hmm does seem tht way doesnt it!
seymour-hoffman should be on the list as well actuallyComment -
I despise movies who do that. Talk down to the audience, that's the worst think that can happen in cinema. Sounds like it is one to miss in that case. I was thinking mostly due to the effect work it might be worth checking out on the big screen.
Might have to go with Nightcrawler, sounds interesting. Helps that Taxi Driver is one of my favorite films ever. V reconnemds it too i see.Comment -
