The Beguiled was kind of... different to watch. Not what I expected from an Eastwood Western. Many of his movies are currently running on HBO to Go (Great App BTW) and Netflix.
Yesterday I watched: The Beguiled, Joe Kidd, Hang em High and Ambush at Cimarron Pass while I did some work and wrapped peoples packages.
Hang em High was the best out of all four.
Incidentally - The Leone Dollars Trilogy was the movie set that gave me the push to upgrade to Blu Ray. I no longer buy many movies at all due to Netflix and the internet... that trilogy along with a few other classics were must haves when it came to keeping and upgrading.

Yup, I got the Dollars trilogy real cheap at Target. Critics complained about too much DNR, but I really didn't notice because I enjoyed the movies so much.

No such results could be found, ( spent about 40 minutes looking), there
are 2 FAN MADE videos the use Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin.
This maybe why his post is gone.

Just watched "Following," which is Christopher Nolan's first feature film, a low-budget, black-and-white crime noir from 1998. It was shot guerrilla-style in London over the course of about a year, with a no-name cast of just 4 or 5 people.
I didn't think it was that great, though the plot is cleverly laid out (it involves a con set-up) and shows an early glimpse of the calculating, structurally meticulous style that informs all of Nolan's film from "Memento" to "The Prestige" to "Inception" and of course the Batman flicks. But it is interesting as the calling card that got Nolan the backing to make "Memento," which then put him in the big leagues with "Insomnia," and the bigger leagues with "Batman Begins."
Anyway, during one scene I was surprised to notice a Batman sticker on the door to one of the characters' apartment. At first I thought this might have been added in digitally years later as a wink to Batman fans, but it was an actual part of the set, and the door was one of the filmmaker's actual apartment. (Might have been Nolan's but I think it was his collaborator, the lead actor.) It does indicate that Nolan or one of his close associates was a Batman fanatic long before he got a chance to shoot the movie. (Screenshot provided at bottom.)
Reading about this via Google links, I see where somebody also found the Batman logo in the background of one of the scenes in "Memento." This seems like more of a coincidence, but who knows. (Screenshot also provided.)
On another note: I tried to run a CGC forum search on the word "following" to see if anybody had already posted about this trivia. Something must be wrong with the search function, because the word "following" got no search hits at all, even searching the entire CGC site over a two-year period.

Also in about an hour and 8 minutes (I could be off a little) of the movie, when Tim Roth's character is practicing to be a believable crook, on his wall, there is a poster of the silver surfer and some wild ninja anime.....
This is the moment where he runs out of ammo, but shoots again before entering the car...
and here is the room where TTim Roth is practicing ... with comic posters in the background

Found a new one.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones descends into the Well of the Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant.
If you look very carefully at the room, you'll see that CP30 and R2D2 from Star Wars appear as hieroglyphs on a column and as part of a mural on the wall.
