The line may be cribbed from elsewhere ('I am not an animal,' right?), but I think the jailhouse meltdown has gone down as pretty iconic. Not exactly the kind of thing you and your friends can reenact at the pub (without getting thrown out), but I'm pretty sure that one sits high on many people's greatest scenes of all times lists.

The animal allusion comes up earlier in the film, and I feel as though sometimes it almost flirts with the theme of 'savage vs civilized' he later takes up in Cape Fear, but it never gets that deep (and may not have benefited from it either way).

Does it? I'd never heard of that scene. I'd say the "I am not an animal!" scene from The Elephant Man (also a black and white biopic from 1980, funnily) is more iconic.

The line I'm referring to is the one from On The Waterfront, which I've heard sampled in a club record before, as uttered by De Niro.

Originally posted by DJ RANN The critics hated Venom but every single person I know that went to see it loved it (obviously, it's not high art or some thought provoker but it did what it did well). Go see it in IMAX if you can. The screen quality was fucking insane and given the shots and sound design, I'd say it's worth it. I'm sure the normal screen are good too though.

Forgot to reply to this haha. Our IMAX screen in our city has some pretty dumb movies and documentaries playing all the time on it. For instance, it's playing the Lego movie and Inception (wtf that was like 10 years ago) tonight. Next week it's strictly a couple of documentaries. I'll probably have to wait another year just to see First Man on our IMAX screen, so I might have to just watch it in Standard. Better than nothing at least.

Has anyone caught Bohemian Rhapsody yet? We're hunkering down tonight and tomorrow for the snowstorm, but on Sunday we will probably check it out. Super excited!

Go see it in standard, it's still well worth it. Catch the imax whenever you get a chance.

I'm not sold on Bohemian Rhapsody. All the trailers I've seen (in fairness only two), Malek seems to be out of his depth.

maybe it's not conveyed well via a trailer, but it seems like those shoes were too big to fill. Malek looks to scrawny and the mainstage charisma too contrived. I'll hold final judgement off though until I see the full thing.

My mum actually went to art school with Freddie Mercury.

Said he was quite the twat, basically all he did was walk around all day long telling anyone in earshot that one day he's going to be the biggest rock star in the world.

Which in fairness.......

Just came from the theatres, and I'd give the movie a 6, 6.5 out of 10. Malek was really great for the role imo, his part was the standout.

The only issue was the story... for me it felt more of a Best Hits concert, rather than seeing a movie about Freddie himself, or even Queen. If I wanted to see that I'd just throw up Youtube instead.

But I'll leave it at that and let you enjoy the show.

Ah, I probably won't go and see it then.

I'm not a massive fan of Queen music (it was drilled in to my head as a child and frankly I'm sick of it) but was interested to see how the band came about and I've met brian may a couple of times who can be quite the conversationalist so thought it might have some good story telling.

Watched Mile 22, lots of action.

I highly recommend The Man from Earth

It's all dialog but the story line is phenomenal.

I've heard a lot of good things about that/ Everyone Is saying it's low budget sci fi done right, and liken it to a modern day Terminator (although not quite as good).

I think it also stars Logan Marshall-Green who happens to be in Jack's favorite film of all time, Prometheus, so it must be good

Saw Upgrade a while ago and can confirm - it's great.
