What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 346

Aaaactually.... I visited our local big cat sanctuary a couple of years ago and they have a tiger there who is part of a genetic research program to study a possible link between tigers and the Smilodon! He has extremely long canines which appears to be a hereditary trait, which they believe may make him a living descendant of the Saber-Tooth. So far, they have found the same genetic marker in almost a dozen of his offspring as well, and a few other tigers too. It's a fascinating theory if true, because apparently tigers really ARE genetically the closest living relative!

*Utrommaniac* · 01-22-2017, 02:03 AM

Really? That's pretty interesting. I think it refers to "Saber tooth tiger" as an independent species technically isn't real.

Which big cat sanctuary was it? I've been to one myself a long time ago, but I don't remember its name. Pretty sure they had a three-legged black leopard, unless it was the one in Arizona that I'm thinking of...I'm mixed up in memories from back then.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 01-22-2017, 02:14 AM

I forget the name but it is just outside of Bridgeport. They have over thirty animals all of them either born in captivity or from circuses, zoos, or private owners who could no longer keep them. There is another one near Boyd but I haven't been to that one. The one I went to DOES have daily tours and a special event in October where thwy let visitors buy a chicken leg to feed the cat of their choice. I fed a black leopard named Ace. He was so gorgeous! I also took a few photos with one of their first resident tigers on a picnic table! (Don't worry she was stuffed- she had passed away a couple of years earlier and they stuffed her for a "safe" photo/hug-a-tiger "abassador".)

*Utrommaniac* · 01-22-2017, 02:49 AM

That's pretty neat! I can't seem to find the one I'm thinking of.

They had a female black leopard who had three legs.
She tried to play with another cat in her enclosure and it swiped her so badly she needed an amputation and solitary living. They also had a bobcat that was cured of FIV, but was blinded as a side effect. And I can't google for that one either.

Demolition Man from 1993 with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Now I know the movie is meant to be funny/cheesy on purpose, but a lot of it was a chore to sit through. I laughed a couple of times and it had its moments...but man, some of it was just waaaay to ridiculous even for me. Felt like Batman and Robin at times.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 01-22-2017, 08:20 PM

Demolition Man? Man that movie is CLASSIC Sly!! Loved it. Snipes was really funny at times and I loved Sandra in it.

*Icebot* · 01-23-2017, 09:17 AM

Just watched Rugrats Go Wild.

*CyberCubed* · 01-24-2017, 01:51 AM

Kindergarten Cop. One of Arnold Schwarzeneggar's best movies, and one of the funniest movies of all time.

*ssjup81* · 01-24-2017, 02:45 AM

Home Alonge 2 a couple of weeks ago. Still funny after all these years, despite its flaws. ^_^

*IndigoErth* · 01-25-2017, 06:12 PM

"The Visit"

Not quite as horror-ish in the long run as I'd expected, but creepy nonetheless. One of those movies that keeps you thinking, trying to figure out what's going on here and piecing things together, and does a pretty good job of hiding most predictability.

*plastroncafe* · 01-25-2017, 06:24 PM

Hidden Figures.

Amazing. Just a really fantastic movie all around.
I'm really looking forward to picking up the book that the movie was adapted from.

*Spike Spiegel* · 01-27-2017, 11:16 PM

Got around to seeing Suicide Squad.

It was kind of terrible, but had a few good character moments.

*Utrommaniac* · 01-28-2017, 01:22 AM

I saw Moana. It was okay. The buildup of the crab character was pretty big on Tumblr, but I ended up a little disappointed. As well as the pig not being on the boat like I assumed he would. I guess that had been the plan, but it couldn't happen.

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 01-28-2017, 07:37 PM

I've recently just begun watching the tv series "a series of unfortunate events" on Netflix after my sisters introduced me to it. I've never read the original novel, but I've so far been enjoying the series for how funny, interesting and clever it is.

Hey, me too! I love the books and have read them all several times, not to mention the various spin-off books and series'. I've been loving this series for how close to the source material it is, and how it's been able to present the story in afun way, all the while putting its own spin on it. And good lord, can Neil Pattrick Harris do an amazing Count Olaf! He just adds this level of charm never seen before in the character.

Anyways, gushing aside, I finally saw Alien (1979) yesterday. It was just as good as I thought it would be. Very suspenseful. Boasting some good special effects for a movie from its time. Can't wait to see the rest of the series, along with Predator and the crossovers and prequels.

*Utrommaniac* · 01-29-2017, 12:55 AM

I was never able to finish reading the books, because my high school didn't have all of them. But they were still a big enough part of my family when I was young that we named our second litter of foster kittens after the Baudelaires. They were lucky ones. Got them at two days old and possibly premature, since their digestive systems weren't fully developed - and thus were very, very gassy.

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-29-2017, 01:34 AM

I watched Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Such awesome visuals in the movie. Not to mention Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers is perfection.

Love how Chris Evans( Captain America) Brandon Routh (Superman/The Atom) and Mae Whitman ( April) have cameos as 3 of the 7 evil ex's

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 01-29-2017, 11:25 AM

I've been on an animation kick the past couple of days. Watched The Secret of NIHM and The Last Unicorn Friday night and then Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete last night. The former two are probably my favorite animated films of all time, and the FF movie was the 20th anniversary celebration of the game blu ray with added scenes that weren't in it when I first saw it years ago. Love the scene with Tifa fighting in the church (she did every limit break!) and the victory theme on the Remnant's phone after she kicks his butt.

*CyberCubed* · 01-29-2017, 01:44 PM

Terminator 2, in one of the deleted scenes from the alternate ending, Sarah says, "1997 came and went and nothing much happened. Michael Jackson turned 40."

Little did people know another 10 years after when he turned 50 he would be dead.

Saw a science fiction-filmcalled Battleship on TV.
