@TheCinesthetic Mad Men . . . Tangent, but the real origin of the phrase “Mad Men” was actually twofold. It’s a slang nickname that Ad Executives gave to themselves in the ‘50’s & ‘60’s in New York since most of the big Advertising Agencies were on Madison Avenue.
@TheCinesthetic Mad Men from the very first episode, in my opinion this is the greatest tv show of all time hands down (no offense to Tony and his crew) . . . but this show and Cheers were the ones I instantaneously were hooked on from the first second I began watching. https://t.co/uKqvnpox4M

I’ve decided to stop posting as I currently have one of those golden opportunities in front of me that requires my full attention. Since I don’t do anything half-ass (as I always believed if you’re going to do something, put your full ass into it) . . . https://t.co/v59DVa9v2T

@TheCinesthetic The on screen chemistry of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in La La Land . . .

@TheCinesthetic Pixar’s film Up with a storyboard . . . Tangent but I used to be into short films, the opening of Pixar’s Up is what everyone who is making a short should strive to try to accomplish as it’s entertaining, emotional and one of the best uses of imagery.
@RealEmirHan Pixar’s UP with voice of the late Ed Asner or Lou Grant (as I knew him through reruns). But this scene was a extremely sad opening to a film even though this was just a kids movie . . . but this scene was geared to toy with parents and their emotions.

@TheCinesthetic The beautiful single word volleying chemistry between Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days . . .
@TheCinesthetic A Time to Kill with Matthew McConaughey flirtatiously flirting with Sandra Bullock throughout this legal/racial drama . . . then again Matthew has great chemistry with all his costars but he’s always a bit more flirtatious with the chicks (so to speak). https://t.co/Xb8D24c8NQ

@TheCinesthetic Ghosted with the great chemistry between Chris Evans and Ana de Armas Not a great film (being nice), but it’s cute in parts, like their first meeting . . . regardless/even though they were arguing a little bit, underneath there was definitely something.
@RealEmirHan Ana De Armas smoking, smiling, dancing, swimming, smiling, answering the door, crawling on all fours playing a drinking game in the film Deep Water or just smiling . . . she always is a head turner an attention grabber. Especially when she is smiling. 🤍

@Noirchick1 Spotlight with Michael Keaton, Liev Schreiber, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, John Slattery, and Brian d’Arcy James . . . The true story of The Boston Globe’s investigation into sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. https://t.co/N0MJgI6r15 This, The Insider and All the
@TheCinesthetic Paul Newman in Sydney Pollack’s Absence of Malice is an excellent film about ethics in journalism and politics . . . Also starring Sally Field, Wilford Brimley and Melinda Dillon It’s one of those films not a lot of people seen or seen recently. https://t.co/aXc2OuXlsu

@Noirchick1 Michael Mann's The Insider was nominated for 7 awards and walked away with 0 (American Beauty won 5 that year) . . . but I could make the case for not just Al Pacino (as this was his best performance in my opinion) but Russell Crowe or even Bruce McGill. https://t.co/asqZITWqWH
@davidcinema Bruce McGill in The Insider starring Russell Crowe & Al Pacino . . . everyone’s performance was excellent but I beyond love this scene. https://t.co/DNv8KnI05L

@TheCinesthetic Rudd . . . Paul Rudd, in this scene from Anchorman regarding the cologne Sex Panther. Love the quote/line/delivery of “60% of the time it works every time”.
@TheCinesthetic Will Ferrell playing Ron Burgundy in Anchorman playing the Jazz flute playing some baby making music. Initially going in thinking this movie is going to be 🤬, and it is . . . but in a funny way.

@TheCinesthetic This is a kinda tangent of a post (but sort of related) as knowing who the “terrible people” were had a lot to do with the release of the Epstein Files and the Diddy Files which never happened. Whatever may have been uncovered/made public with these files is now probably lost
@thrillerhub A side tangent on The Cosby Show as I thought this was one of the best on tv . . . when I was younger I thought Bill Cosby had incredible qualities as a father for his kids in the Cosby Show and modeled a lot of my parenting of my son after this guy. https://t.co/DDEahZXWyK

@TheCinesthetic Out of Sight . . . The bar scene with Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney was one of the hottest pickup scenes on film in my opinion, but throughout the movie their chemistry was beautiful.

@TheCinesthetic I’m not a superhero film watching guy (outside of a few small outliers like Logan and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy) . . . but this perfect sequence is in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen is brilliantly brilliant and a complete work of art in my opinion. https://t.co/AFY6cH3E2Q
@TheOscarRace Nolan’s Dark Knight movies (all 3) . . . There was a bit of anticipation watching these three movies the very first time unsure of what would happen next, if I could see this with fresh eyes for the first time again on IMAX that would be special.

@TheCinesthetic The Library Green Dress scene in Atonement . . . this is in my opinion one of the most romantic and sensual scenes in all of cinema as everything was perfect from the acting and chemistry of James McAvoy and Keira Knightley to the dialogue to the lighting. https://t.co/Z3zFCiLWLo
@TheCinesthetic The 13 year old Briony in Atonement being jealous and lying about James McAvoy . . . and destroying his and Keira Knightley’s relationship. She was very young and very naive, but she was also very much the villain.

@TheCinesthetic Will Smith was an actor I never ever took seriously . . . until I saw his portrayal of Muhammad Ali, in the film Ali. https://t.co/n7ApARqMaM I seriously thought he was going to look like a much smaller version of “The Greatest” where you would have to put on rose colored
@TheCinesthetic The hardest hitting imo was Archie with Edith’s passing and The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air with Will Smith and Will’s Father episode where his deadbeat Dad shows up after 14 years then leaves him again. . . . These were very unexpected and show their range. https://t.co/dQ71c02avf

@TheCinesthetic Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket . . . seeing this at an extremely young age from the boot camp with R. Lee Ermey verbally assault to Vincent D'Onofrio’s character to Vietnam War and the streets of Da Nang. This is not recommended for little kids.
@ATRightMovies Full Metal Jacket directed by Stanley Kubrick is one of the best war stories ever made starring Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio and Adam Baldwin . . .

@ATRightMovies Hailee Steinfeld in Sinners with Michael B. Jordan . . .
@buffys Black Panther with Michael B Jordan's character, Killmonger as he had some depth and a backstory where he and his family were wronged by the good guys . . . He was a villain who had a reason why he was a villain but a very complex character.

@TheCinesthetic Airplane! has so many great little scenes but this scene in the sequel was one of my favorites from when I was a kid . . . tangent the first film is better, but I think I must have watched this specific scene at least a hundred times as it never gets old. https://t.co/KJrKJHmYho
@TheCinesthetic The movie Airplane! Was actually a parody of the 1957 film Zero Hour! and some of the scenes (like the coffee black scene) are done verbatim to the original film . . . adding a few lines of course. The original and Airplane!’s version https://t.co/Dee0oDQRcS

@TheCinesthetic A small homage not just to my female director Sophia Coppola . . . but to one of my favorite overall directors https://t.co/yX7GkJ6y2W Her scenes are thought provoking, picturesque and her choice of music compliments these scenes as in Lost in Translation (one of my favorite
@TheCinesthetic The perfect opening scene to Sophia Coppola’s masterpiece Lost in Translation speaks without dialogue . . . as sometimes the best dialogue is great cinematography so you can feel the frame. Staring Scarlet Johansson and Bill Murray and the city of Tokyo

@TheCinesthetic The Doors movie with Val Kilmer with an embarrassing tangent story tying this to Easy Rider . . . When I was a kid I sort-of, kinda knew who the rock band The Doors were with Val of Top Gun, and comedies Real Genius and Top Secret playing Jim Morrison. https://t.co/rIMfTaR86u
@ATRightMovies The Saint . . . this was a British mystery/spy show back in the ‘60’s starring Roger Moore before his James Bond days (kinda like Remington Steele with Pierce Brosnan). In the late ‘90’s it was remade into a film starring Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue.

@TheCinesthetic The chemistry between Kevin Costner’s and Madeleine Stowe’s characters in the movie Revenge was undeniable . . . one of my favorite early ‘90’s films that no one talks about even in scenes like this.
@RealEmirHan Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young in No Way Out . . . besides the seriously flirting, there is a very good plot twist that you can’t see coming until the very end of the film.

@TheCinesthetic The Ace Ventura 2 . . . When Nature Calls In this movie I went from not really liking him to being a huge fan. The White Devil scene I went from not liking this guy to loving his work within an experience at a movie theater.
@TheCinesthetic The Midevil Times scene from The Cable Guy with Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick . . . and the wench/barmaid Janeane Garofalo. https://t.co/4AjFd92WgQ Steven: Can I get a knife or fork? Wench: There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils AT Medieval Times.
