Yes, except there is no indication on my screen that there is an image that is failing to display.

I see a box with a question mark.

[Brian]

Well I see it. Huh. I stole it right off the IMDb main page.

Anyway, edited now.

Irony is, I see a box with a question mark in the post directly above mine.

Neither Todd's nor Brian's (still) shows for me. Interestingly, right clicking on the icon that indicates the missing image makes it possible to copy the URL; pasting that into a new browser window displays the images just fine. So the URLs are obviously correct, and the database they link to are obviously up and running.

... 'cause it's so hard to just TYPE the name of the movie you watched.

Much harder to look up a poster, in fact...

TDKR, a most satisfying conclusion to the series.  Very heavy and dark, with few jokes to lighten the mood.  Definitely worth seeing on the largest possible screen.  Anne Hathaway's take on Cat Woman is very nice, as is her costume.

Good to know, Todd.

I saw Friends with Benefits over the weekend.

Yeah...

Nice, Todd. And yes the costume was great!

Here's what I wrote about it in another thread...

The film was great. Not quite the impact that The Dark Knight offered, seriously though how easy was that going to be anyway, but equally impressive on most accounts and a completely satisfying conclusion. Acting was top notch, but Anne Hathaway stole the show. TDKR suffered slightly in the second act but picked up steam for a finale that featured the best and most intense 25 minutes of the trilogy and a final shot that will send chills down your spine. Bane is a force, Hardy did Batman villains justice, but it's more about what he accomplishes, the destruction he afflicts that is the true character. And lookout, Morgan Freeman even gets in to a little action.

I've never got her appeal. Perhaps this movie will do it for me.

A new Blu-ray acquisition - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) - a classic - just love these 1950s sci-fi films (of course I was a kid then!) - often the suspense is 'out of view' and the looks on the faces effective - this one is excellent and the re-mastering in BD is impressive -

Nice, Dave!

Over the past few days:

Edison, The Man (1940)


Spencer Tracy was outstanding in this.  Do not let the inaccuracies deter you.

Underwater! (1955)


A "B" film for me, but entertaining.

Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951)



Not Master and Commander, but fun enough.

I just watched this for the second time. Although the beginning annoyed me and seemed too hipster-ish, the second half of the movie takes the story in an interesting direction. I would advise sticking with it if it doesn't immediately interest you.

This reminds me: I picked up the DVD of War of the Worlds the other day. Hardly a great film, but those cobra-wielding manta ray spaceships are brilliant and still unique.

The machines definitely make it....I thought it much superior to the Spielberg remake, and thought a pretty darn good sci-fi effort.

[Fafner]

Started watching the series Dexter.  Did not get past the second episode.

[SonicMan46]

Over the past few days:

Edison, The Man (1940)  & Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951)
 

Bill - two of my favorites from the ole days! 

For me over the last few nights, some more BD replacements in my DVD collection: 1) Back to the Future Trilogy - like the first one by far; the 3rd one is fun; the middle one OK; 2) Wrath of Kahn - Ricardo is BACK! (gift from my son who bought the entire series - his favorite); apparently the only one completely remastered; and 3) Singin' in the Rain (if you're into musicals from the past, then one of the best) -

A weird but enjoyable one, for sure. Her first film is a masterpiece, IMO.

     I must disagree with you, I think it's one of the best of the '50s sci-fi films. Yes, it's better than the Spielberg remake, and I think the latter went wrong just at the point the original was most effective, in the scenes where the characters are trapped in the house. In the original the scene is claustrophobic and incredibly tense. Somehow the much longer episode in the Spielberg is slack by comparison. However, the tripods were great, even though they couldn't match the evil beauty of the manta rays (what could?). I remember my sister telling me before we saw the Spielberg film how glad she was that there would be real Wellsian tripods.* And they did not disappoint.

  _{* Actually as I recall she said "I want tripods! There must be tripods!"}
