8 Top Gun Details That Prove Maverick Is Actually Dead In The 2022 Sequel
Was Maverick really dead in Top Gun 2?screenrant.com
Maybe we did, can you remind me how either Trump and or the deep state killed him so I can recall the context?
Can you imagine if that had been the actual intent? Like the director did a whole hidden Stanley Kubrick film inside a modern day blockbuster? That would be a masterpiece.

Mulholland Drive #1?Can you imagine if that had been the actual intent? Like the director did a whole hidden Stanley Kubrick film inside a modern day blockbuster? That would be a masterpiece.
What is the last film that you would call a true masterpiece? I'd have to say No Country for Old Men in 2007. Been a long time.
Here are some lists where people try to compile the best movies of the 21st Century. I have some work to do this winter catching up. I haven't seen many of them:

Gangsters, superheroes, schoolkids, lovers, slaves, peasants, techies, Tenenbaums and freefalling astronauts – they’re all here in our countdown of cinema’s best movies since 2000www.theguardian.com
I’d have No Country. Can’t believe some of these lists don’t even have it as the best Coen bros movie of this century.
If he had done that he would have won an Oscar and been blackballed for killing off a franchise.Can you imagine if that had been the actual intent? Like the director did a whole hidden Stanley Kubrick film inside a modern day blockbuster? That would be a masterpiece.

It’s got to be There Will be Blood right? I love No Country but There Will be Blood is an epic.
If the original question was about movies that qualify as "masterpieces," I think you have to include both of those, and Mulholland Drive.
I think No Country is better. There Will Be Blood is awesome, but it is uneven. I don't think there is a bad scene or acting job in NCFOM.
No country is so damn good. I showed the gas station scene to my daughter. Book is phenomenal. There will be blood is right there too.
I wonder if any director will ever try to make Blood Meridian into a movie.

Blood Meridian Movie Confirmed: Director, Story & Everything We Know About The Cormac McCarthy Adaptation
Blood Meridian is considered "unfilmable."
I would like to see Tarantino take a shot at something like Blood Meridian, with limited dialogue. It would be fascinating to see him just focus on the structure of the scenes and the cinematography, etc.
It’s been so long since I’ve read those but cormac’s books were very heavy then. Stilted language etc. epic. Some of my all time favorites. But maybe they don’t lend themselves to movies. I don’t know
I agree re his language. They make them tough reads.
Hilarious re rock formations. You need a dictionary as you go. That would be amazing!!! You know lonesome dove series is my favorite of all time. And when I saw it was going to be a mini series with Ricky Schroeder I thought oh god this is pure evil. Readers should file an injunction. But honestly it was pretty damn good!
Tarantino only has one movie left. He said he'd do 10. He's done 9.
It’s already written. It’s about a movie critic.

There is a podcast called The Big Picture from which I get this kind of stuff . QT is a friend of the program & has been on a couple of times. He does a movie draft that is really fun, but if you’re going to listen, do a few of the other drafts first so you get the format & get to know the hosts a little bit.Hat tip to @jet812

Pretty good listThe TV Academy listed the 75bmost impactful TV events. It is a very good list, moon landing, 2001, Beatles and Elvis on Sullivan.
Most of the shoes chosen are iconic, MASH and Newhart finales, Chuckles the Clown, Archie kisses Sammy.
If you look at the list, #46 is genius.

Love that list. I’d switch Obama’s speech to the one at the convention 4 years before. No one knew who he was before that. It launched his presidency.The TV Academy listed the 75bmost impactful TV events. It is a very good list, moon landing, 2001, Beatles and Elvis on Sullivan.

A close e-friend of mine emailed me that night with "I've seen the future."
Agreed. Only concern is they go wayyyy too far into the supernatural. Some of the conspiracy theories online already are pretty good, including one about Rust Cohle's daddy.
I will watch. Might wait for them to all drop so I can binge them.

I'll give it a chance .. it has to be better than what's currently out there for sci-fi or fantasy. lol I'm so naïve sometimes. It will undoubtedly suck.Goddammit. I just learned they are doing a BSG reboot. Why can't anyone ever leave well enough alone?

You nailed it with the supernatural. "Ghosts everywhere". 2nd ep was meh. This show is in danger of veering woke. Lesbians everywhere, the indigenous people are not treated well enough, who runs the world? Girls. No depictions of healthy nuclear families.
Issa Lopez isn't bad per se, but I think that considering the direction they're going Pizzolatto should have done it.
