There should be some spots on 89 north towards Sierraville.

Also, methinks the trailhead for Pole Creek on 89 just before OV would be okay, as well.

And not sure what the deal is with the TART...

Hey Reverend Floater:
Have you ever seen COME AND SEE?
This kinda reminded me of that in regards to the “seemingly brutal randomness” you mentioned.

Quick take:
That was one of the most visceral films I have seen in some time.
The pacing is fantastic and even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, it was still well done in terms of keeping...

Andrew Dice Clay…

William Devane, too.
Kinda surprised he hasn’t made it into a QT film given how much QT loves Rolling Thunder…

Rallied to AM today.
Got on the hill after 10.
Tegel Chutes were nice at this time, but High T back bowl was cooked by 11.
Got stuck on Sherwood Chair for roughly 20-mins (liftie said mice had...

Actors off the top of my head who I’d like to see in a QT film:
Bokeem Woodbine
Sam Rockwell
Ian McShane
Riley Keough
Billie Lourd
Kristen Stewart
Willem Dafoe
Owen Wilson
Gretchen Moll

Dexter Riley FTW!

Been fighting a cold for 3 weeks now (sneezing, stuffy nose, plugged ears) and haven’t been in the headspace for thoughtful cinema, so I’ve been watching a lot of series.
But last night I fired up...

I was pleasantly surprised by ARCADIAN.
Admittedly, I walked into the cinema with fairly low expectations.
The latest Nic Cage vehicle is an understated post-apocalyptic coming-of-age/sibling...

I appreciate him wanting to go out on a high note.

But also, given the percentage of celebrities who announce their retirement and then don’t retire, I wouldn’t be surprised if he made more than...

Multiple boot-packs are frustrating.
It’s a problem up at Sunrise Bowl where snowshoers, sledders, and newbie tourers just go hog wild like a pack of elephants.
Drives me crazy.
I, personally,...

I am still mulling over the ending, as well.

And, yeah, DD was fantastic.
I only know him as the creepy serial killer from CSI, so I was pleasantly surprised at his turn as a Johnny Carson...

SASQUATCH SUNSET
This low-key nature film satire is like a mumblecore version of Quest For Fire.
If that comparison doesn’t work for you, imagine the opening sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey...

LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
This is a gloriously demented low-budget gem.
To say much more would spoil the fun of it, but the gist is that it’s the found footage of a forgotten 1970’s late night talk...

GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE
Everything that made 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife a nostalgically fun romp somehow got lost in transition with this empty and flat endeavor.
Nevermind that it takes...

Not in my book, but it did the whole Amblin homage thing 100 times better than this film…:D

STING
I went in with pretty high expectations given that writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner shot a fat load of adrenaline into the sagging ass of the zombie genre with Wrymwood: Road of the Dead...

ARCADIAN
The latest Nic Cage vehicle is an understated post-apocalyptic coming-of-age/sibling rivalry drama masquerading as a thriller.
Wonderful pacing, a nice low-key performance from Cage, and a...

THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1973)
Of all the cinematic versions of Alexandre Dumas’ novel that I have seen over the years, this is still my favorite.

Funny you mention this film. It sprung to my mind immediately during Episode 5…

PS
If you have never read the novella by Harlan Ellison, I highly recommend it.

Full disclosure: I have never played the games so have no idea how true it is to the source material.

That said, I burned through all 8 eps this week and enjoyed it, even if it is highly...

Spring, ‘tis the season of horror?

THEY SHOT THE PIANO PLAYER
My grasp on Jazz is pretty loose, so some of this film went over my head.
I understand why they chose Jeff Goldblum as the narrator, but he was ultimately distracting....

From the looks of the trailer the story doesnt seem too far removed from the likes of The Man in the High Castle, the 2005 comic book series DMZ (which itself was turned into a series), the...

I am trying to temper my expectations, but I have really enjoyed Garland’s last few movies— Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men—so they are skewing high…

I am merely posting this due to its relevance in regards to this thread.
I personally thought each one of the remakes listed herein sucked and were pointless exercises that needn’t have been made.

Several years ago I eventually broke down and watched the remake of Point Break.

Fooled me once, so won’t be making the same mistake in regards to Road House.

The original RH is just a great...

Ebert later posted a letter from a reader who questioned his reviews of A Clockwork Orange and 8mm:

https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/a-clockwork-orange-vs-8mm-evil-is-as-evil-does

I recall not liking it when I saw it in the theater upon its initial release.
And it pretty much got panned by critics, for what that’s worth.

However, Roger Ebert gave it 3 out of 4:...

I just read about that book earlier this week as the author was referenced by another author I dig (or in a book review I was reading, I forget…).
