Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2541613, member: 93"] Thanks to [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] for cluing me in to the Xfinity remote's great movie guide feature a few months ago, I have been watching a ton more movies simply because it is much more easy to browse them. Rewatched two classics recently, [I]Rocky [/I]the other night and [I]The Deer Hunter[/I] last night. Both as tremendously compelling as I remembered, but the thing about which I am constantly reminded now is how much patience is lacking in most current day movies. I mean, the wedding scene alone in [I]The Deer Hunter[/I] is longer than many movies. And it is so nuanced and foreshadows so much. As I watched I couldn't help but wonder if a single one of my kids could make it through the movie. Also still very tough to watch many of the torture scenes. What a stacked cast and amazingly layered movie though. They truly don't make 'em like that any more. [/QUOTE]
