Oh, I really like Prime Cut. That's one of those movies-- I don't get why it got "forgotten," why it isn't on AMC or TNT at 3pm on a Saturday every once in a blue moon, or on whatever channel shows Rio Bravo every month, some channel for Dad's. It totally seems like a movie that should be on Dad Channel occasionally. When I first got Netflix, I had a stretch where I saw Prime Cut, the 10th Victim and (especially) Uptown Saturday Night pretty much in a row, which... anytime I'm sitting staring at Netflix blankly at 10 at night, I always feel like I'm not putting the right words into the search box anymore.

Mannnnn, I still need to see the 10th Victim. That's one of those things I forget exists and then when I'm reminded am disgusted with my half-assed-ness.

[Tim Hamilton]

Really? I should watch Golden Child?
I just always dismissed it and never gave it a second thought.
I watched 48 hours. Isn't that enough "movie Murphy?"

Golden Child is awesome. Never enough 'movie Murphy' from that era.

Re: Children of Men. That movie was really great. But then when Julianne Moore was murdered at, like, the beginning of the movie, it became even better. What better way to signal to your audience that anything could happen? Glad you guys loved it so much. Fucking haunting.

Another Michael Ritchie movie you have to see: SMILE.

Golden Child side note: the life of Victor Wong is fascinating:

Golden Child and 48hrs are great films. Trading Places is a legit GOAT. I have always had a mini crush on Eddie Murphy.

I've bought a Spike Lee boxset. I'd like y'all to cover him. And if pretending like I'm Rogue doesn't work then I could be Magneto. You wouldn't like me when I'm Magneto.
