    Becoming Led Zeppelin

    I had an opportunity last night to go see a screening of the new Led Zeppelin documentary "Becoming Led Zeppelin" in IMAX (lot of grey hairs and Zeppelin tees there last night. Nobody broke a hip). First It must be said that the sound was unexpectedly glorious! I could never hear "Whole Lot of...

    What's the worst Elvis movie?

    As we approach Elvis Death Week, what's your vote for the worst Elvis Presley movie? My vote goes to Live a Little, Love a Little as it makes very little sense. Stay Away, Joe is bad for completely different reasons.

    Double Bass Movie: The Jazz Loft

    Photographer Eugene Smith left his family and set up in a loft in NYC, in the flower district. Smith was an amazing artist in the darkroom and lover of jazz. A documentary film was made about his time in the loft in the late 50's and early 60's, using the photos and tapes that he made (he was...

    Film & tv actors who resemble well-known bassists

    Every time I watch The Hunt For Red October, I think the guy who played a member of the Red October's crew looks like Pino Palladino. Anyone else know any other actors who resemble well-known bassists?

    The Equalizer movies

    Netflix recommended Equalizer 2 for me so I watched it. I had very low expectations, figuring it would be a routine Hollywood action movie. Turned out that (for me anyway) the movie had higher aspirations. I really liked it a lot (in spite of it being a little preachy at times). Last night I...

    Rude people made our day at the movies!

    Wife and I have limited opportunities to go out together due to my work and gig schedules. One of our favorites is lunch then a movie on Monday afternoons. This past Monday we had lunch at our favorite burger place then went to an early matinee of the movie "Us". It's a kind of suspense/thriller...

    Tolkien based movies, "The Hunt for Gollum" and "Born Of Hope."

    Just noticed these two movies. They are not big budget but they are both free to stream on youtube. Has anyone seen these? The Hunt for Gollum - Wikipedia Invalid Link Removed

    Why is Hollywood crankin' out lame Star Wars movies?

    I haven't seen a good Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi... and nobody will convince me otherwise. What are your thoughts on why Hollywood (er, Disney as of late) is content with releasing such poopy Star Wars movies? Sure, their returns always exceed their budgets, but let's not kid...

    Favorite obscure movies

    I know this has been done before, but I wanna do it again and want to ask in the first post if anyone has seen the Netflix movie, Creep? I caught it about a year ago and thought it was pretty good (and twisted), and then I noticed today there was a Creep 2. I'm not big on sequels, so I was...

    Bad sci-fi movies

    Why would anyone open a door marked “Biohazard - do not open”. Some movies are just plain ridiculous.

    Ray Harryhausen and 50's, 60's monster movies

    Some folks call the films Sci Fi or horror films, when I was a kid we just called them monster movies. I didn't know it at the time but I loved just about anything with special effects by Harryhausen. Been collecting and watching some of the old films lately. Got "Jason and the Argonauts" and...

    Best Bassist from the Big Screen!

    Hi guys, fun topic, apart from celebrity appearances (Though I will accept artists playing a fictional character), who is your favourite fictional bassist from a film of TV show? Could it be video game loving superhero Scott Pilgrim, or could it be every rockers dream girl, Cassandra from the...

    Downloading movies you "own" from online retailers.

    I came to a couple theories recently regarding viewing movies online and on your personal devices. When you buy a movie from Amazon, you "own" it and can download it to your device to play it. But that is ONLY if you have Amazon Video on your device, i.e. your phone. You can't outright download...

    The IMdB boards are closing - Any good TV and/or Movie forums?

    I've read that the International Movie Database will be closing down their message board soon, so I'm in the market for a new forum to talk about films/TV. Some of my TV threads go down like a lead balloon here, so maybe it would be best for me to post about the CW's 100 someplace more...

    Horror Movies - Will they ever get good again

    I am part of the generation where I saw some if not all the Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Hellraiser movies. Plus I rented every single horror movie on the shelves of my favorite video store and watched some of the classics. Since then IMHO every single horror movie...

    Sci-Fi movies and T.V. not based on Star Trek or Star Wars

    Ok, so the 50th anniversary of Star Trek is here, but I don't really see many people getting excited about it except some vendors wishing to sell a few magazines or dolls or whatever those sort of people like to sell. My question is, what are the good Movies and T.V. series that are not...

    Basses on the boob tube

    More often than not, I end up obsessing over basses that I see when watching a flick or TV show. I'll stop whatever I'm watching just to research the bass I saw and see if there's any potential for GAS. :D The first one I think of was an Olympic white/tort Mustang spotted in an episode of "How...
