Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Savages (2012), Thursday, March 4, 9 PM ET
Savages (2012)
Director: Oliver Stone
Screenwriters: Shane Salerno, Oliver Stone, Don Winslow
Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Benicio del Toro, Salma Hayek
Running Time: 130 minutes
Budget: $45 million
Box Office: $83 million
Streaming availability: Checking
On-demand/PPV: $2.99/$3.99 on cable and satellite services
Other availability: Probably the usual rental places like Amazon, YouTube, Roku, etc.
Start Time: 9 p.m. (movie starts at 9:10 p.m.)
I’ll try to do a quick streaming service check here in a little bit to see if it’s available anywhere for free.
If you’ve never checked out Don Winslow’s novels, especially The Cartel trilogy, you absolutely should. Very few people have spent more time studying and writing about the US/Mexico border and the ongoing drug war.
I will hopefully be able to make it, but the internet company I’m trying to get to install internet in my new place in PV are being difficult and the language barrier isn’t helping, so we’ll see.

It does have the usual rental places, doesn't seem to be streaming for free any place.
A movie directed by Oliver Stone with a 50% critics score at Rotten Tomatoes and 54% audience score is really a strong pitch for it. Bad/good, like/hate, all options on the table.

Don't think anyone was losing sleep about this, but I'll be good to go for Thursday night.

Semi-dedicated blog readers want to know if it was magically already working when you got there...
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

I am pleased with this development. And, just to knock a couple things out ahead of time...
1. Starting point will be right after the Universal logo (100th Anniversary!) fades to black.
2. Pause point will be around 1:04 or thereabouts - the scene ends shortly after John Travolta gets out of a car and cuts to Benicio del Toro.
3. Has anyone other than me who's going to watch this Thursday already seen it?

I think he said it was. Praised the landlord, despite his hockey team of choice.

Would it be possible to move this back 30-45 minutes? I forgot about dinner plans we have and there is no way I will be ready by 7:40.

Re: Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Savages (2012), Thursday, March 4, 8:30 PM ET
Sure, we can do 9 p.m. ET (start at 9:10 p.m.) unless anyone objects

Based on the running time it looks like we’re watching the non-unrated version?

Re: Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Savages (2012), Thursday, March 4, 9 PM ET
Yeah we’ll watch the rated version.

Body is telling me it could use the extra sleep tonight. Sorry guys.
Maybe I’ll pay penance (and $4) to watch it by myself soon and annoyingly quote bump this thread over the course of the 2+ hours.

Going to probably sit this one out, too, sorry. Long day at work, and may still need to work more tonight.

I used to be a big Oliver Stone fan actually. It's hard to find much fault with Wall Street and Platoon. JFK was a little deranged a times, but it's about as good a 200-minute movie as you can make. He really started to lose the script with Natural Born Killers though. (I admit liking The Doors when it came out but I can't stand the band anymore and the movie is nigh unwatchable.)

Stone certainly drifted after a tremendous start to his career. Took a directors class my senior year - Scorsese, Stone, and Tarantino. We also watched "Salvador" by Stone, which I remember was very good, but do not remember anything about it now.

Should we hold for Giff?

We can if he's just gonna be a few more minutes. He never really got back to us.

I had a couple pilsners at the restaurant tonight. I did secure a new cartridge before the film. Seemed appropriate.

I see we were still pretending weed was a real drug in 2012.

That would definitely kill that after wargasm buzz.

Did Winslow enjoy this adaptation? Or was he like King/Kubrick on The Shining?
