neutral · AI labelView post →This movie feels way to smart to be a PG-13 screwball comedy. Cold War sci-fi satire's on par with the work of Rod Serling with a sense of humor that's as joyfully anarchic and bizarre as a Troma film. STARRING EVERYONE FROM 90s HOLLYWOOD! . #FrightClub #MarsAttacks!

Powerful, big ideas & broad themes...well-crafted at less than 90 minutes each! ★★★★ Ida boxd.it/9M0pXr ★★★★ Cold War boxd.it/9clkvb #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →yes (and it was an iconic mission in the N64 game)! This was the first James Bond movie to release after the Cold War, and I think it had a surprisingly good take on the question 'does the world need James Bond in the '90s?'
neutral · AI labelView post →What if I wrote a book called THE APOCALYPSE IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE, where I riff on three post-Cold War, pre-Trump II works of filmed narrative art about faith at the End of the World, all of which notably feature Xmas elements: -12 MONKEYS (movie) -CHILDREN OF MEN (movie) -STATION ELEVEN (show)

I’m terrified of the man who only wants one.”

neutral · AI labelView post →this movie is such a bad idea, how do you try to remake something so intrinsically Cold War?
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw it in theatres. I regret seeing it at all. The incorporation of so-so CGI with distinctly Cold War ships in the background thoroughly pissed me off.
neutral · AI labelView post →Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat Might be the best film about the Cold War I've seen.
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie and Firefox come out a year apart and I bet folks assumed that this movie would be the taut Cold War thriller, and Firefox just a dumb action movie. But Gorky Park is a bland meandering snoozefest, and Firefox is the taut Cold War thriller.

neutral · AI labelView post →It was a pivotal period in US-social history, as Corporate America was investing heavily in Cold War propaganda and lobbying for federal funds for rapid-weapons manufacturing contracts (e.g. Bell). The film was intrinsic to The People pushing back for civil rights in the 1960s...

neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of people don't know this, but the conflict in that movie was actually based on a real world non-kinetic conflict called The Cold War
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, I did not fully appreciate what the novel and movie stood for. This was apparently more than just a showcase of national pride and exceptionalism. It apparently helped end the Cold War. Wild story worth watching, about a 1968 lost sub and an author who knew more than he had any right to. .../

neutral · AI labelView post →I love that the horrors of my childhood (Cold War/Nuclear Apocalypse) are now mimicing my favorite movie about playful computers duping people into commiting a war with nuclear arms during the Cold War (War Games), thus fulfilling my dreams!
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a weird movie retrospectively, bc when I when I was younger I thought it was about the Cold War, but now I realize that it’s about Types of Guys who are present in every age & have to be guarded against always. (That might not have been the original intent, but that’s how it turned out).
neutral · AI labelView post →The first political event I personally remember is watching the Berlin Wall come down on MTV. But I didn't realise until now that it was the result of a gaffe. I just finished watching the netflix documentary series on the Cold War, and it helped me connect a lot of dots. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/netflix-turning-point-russa-cold-war-bomb-1234986006/ #history #ww2 #coldwar

neutral · AI labelView post →I am an older American who grew up during the Cold War when Russia were (correctly) viewed as our enemy. Want a villain for your movie? Make 'em a Russian. Maybe a KGB agent. Now? MAGA my age and older have no problem when Trump sides with a literal former KGB agent. The stupid, it hurts.
neutral · AI labelView post →What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? During the Cold War almost every Sunday we had movies about Americans wining even at stuff they lost like Vietnam: This one was amongst the best and the most aired until the wall fell and the least us centered

unlabelledView post →A lot has been said about Netflix's adaptation of The Doll. Forget it & just go see the new film version in the cinema. It's superior by every conceivable measure & boasts a cast of a who's who of Polish acting royalty. The best Polish film since Cold War.
unlabelledView post →Watched #TheSpyWhoLovedMe 📽️ Probably Moore's best so far. Both silly, yet somehow plausible with its Cold War storyline. Has chases in every variety and enough entertaining one-liners. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →I liked this one. It felt more like Fleming than other pastiches. And I prefer the Cold War-era setting for Bond to the more updated Bonds (but I read those, too). If they reboot the movie franchise, I hope they go with a Cold War setting. Those gadgets. Those cars. Those fashions. That vibe.
unlabelledView post →Now that I think about it more it probably wasn't the Cold War, since movie theaters became a thing in the late 19th century. I just imagine Americans at the time doing everything opposite of Britain and settling for the French system (im fully bullshitting here but it's funny)

unlabelledView post →Also, what the flaming fuck was STRANGELOVE "robbed" of? It was a massive critical and commercial success despite the studio's lukewarm reception of a film that absolutely was NOT the Cold War thriller they expected. If anything getting blessed by The Man would have cost it hipster cred.

unlabelledView post →Everyone has their James Bond. 🍸 Sean Connery was the Bond I inherited through my grandad. Pierce Brosnan was the first who felt like mine. His Bond had the tuxedo, gadgets, glamour, danger and ridiculous villains—but he also helped reinvent the character for a post-Cold War Britain. 🎬 #007 #film
