As goes the story of my life, I learned the skill of watching a movie without getting caught up in the details of a plot much later in life. The best example of this is a The Big Lebowski…. for years I never got it..
The FC is fantastic, we watched it again a couple weeks ago
Thats really interesting Terri, as of course The Big Lebowski is an homage…to Raymond Chandler and film noir. I love knowing about the connections of things. Happy Easter!
So nice to not talk about tariffs and Trump for a moment. Love the scene on the subway with the on and off and the pretending I am not following you. It is a great escalation how Popeye finally loses patience and just goes full on red mist GTA car chase mode. The cheese trap with the contraband re-hidden in the car is brilliant. Never seen the sequel with Popeye chasing Charnier all over the world after losing everything. Maybe I should not watch it…Happy Easter all.
Don’t see it Kieran; it isn’t a patch on the first; the usual sequel to cash in Hollywood disease (though Hackman makes anything watchable); but don’t taint the glory! Happy Easter to you and the Community!
I will try not to, John, but it is a great setup for a sequel. Are there any decent sequels that actually better the original? Maybe Terminator II! Waiting for something on Kubrick, John!
Good idea Kieran; we will get to Kubrick for five this year; he deserves it. I think Godfather ii is even better than the first so i’d add that (though the first is still fantastic).
From a small business in Seattle. I wanted it to look like a classroom map, plus to get it framed was ridiculous with shipping… may do that locally one day. Happy Easter!
Never thought I would learn something about Big Lebowski in this chat 😂

HI Kieran, to answer your question, yes, two spring to mind. Empire Strikes Back and Godfather 2!
There must be more, perhaps The Dark Knight, oh and definitely Paddington 2!
A culture piece on Paddington would be hilarious!
Im in at some point
Talking about Oscars, Hugh Grant should get an honorary one for Paddington 2!
Good shout John! I think I’ll watch that tonight. Your interpretation of 2001 (especially the end) would be immense!

Here it is… I may have posted this twice. It’s 1.2 x 1.5 meters
It’s just magnificent; may we have you checking it constantly with the community’s adventures around the world!

Happy Easter Terri and thanks for making my day!
