+1 for The Time Machine, Dave (1960). I imagine Cassie's seen most of the old Disneys.
1st time here over on Patreon. I 2nd Carly’s recent recommendation “Secondhand Lions”. You’ll love it!
Wow, saw a news report that Gene Hackman’s wife died from the Hantavirus. He was in late stages of Alzheimer’s. It appears that she died before he did but he may have been too far gone with Alzheimer’s to seek help. The dog was in a kennel and probably died of dehydration. Sad story.
Yeah there was footage of him from a few months ago and it looked like he could barely walk on his own. Really sad. But also seems like he had a very full life. So that's good.
I went to Mexico in 2018 as a trip paid for by the firm I worked for. South of Cancun at an all expense resort. It was beautiful but I did notice many of the workers there were sullen and unfriendly. Don’t drink anything that’s not bottled. A day trip to Mayan ruins was the highlight. To be honest, I would not return.
Very true about the water. Nothing can ruin a trip faster than a stomach bug.
I haven't seen Cold Mountain in probably a couple of decades. This will be a good excuse to give it a re-watch.
Cold Mountain has always been a favorite for me just because the soundtrack is so good, and the performances are great. Totally agree it was Oscar bait, but I still really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to revisit it with Cassie!
Have a good trip Cassie! Hope you got some sleep. That story you told on the Blast From the Past vid was pretty heartwarming, not gonna lie. Time for a repeat.
Even the most dangerous countries have relatively safe tourist areas. As long as you don't go off the beaten track and follow travel advice you're in no more danger than back home
The streak of mainstream movies continues. And gets even more mainstream *yawn*.
It was an over the top performance for sure, but I do think she deserved to win. The way she came in and stole the movie was pretty remarkable. I don't think any of her noms were an accident.
As a Trekkie you should definitely give William Shatner’s 2004 album Has Been a listen. He mentions the novel Cold Mountain in the song “That’s Me Trying.”
Nothing can top "Transformed Man".
Cold Mountain is great. A hard watch IMO. A wonderful film, tho. Haven’t seen in years! Will be great to see your reaction, Cassie!
Watching it right now. Forgot how brutal it was.
This was a lot of fun. I love the new popcorn themed presentation, big thank you to whoever built that, and it was also really nice to see everyone else's picks. I think nearly all of the candidates would have been great choices, obviously we're a sophisticated and discerning bunch :-) I've never actually seen Cold Mountain so I'm looking forward to that, and congrats to the winner.
See, this is why I love Pick-a-flick. In terms of films that are on my want list, I had 50 chances to get a win this time round and Cold Mountain was one of them. Not exactly a cuddly film, but strikes me as the kind of movie Cassie will love. Great pick! In general, thank you for doing all of this, Cassie. I hope it's still worth it for you, even though it can clearly stress you out sometimes. I hate to see you stressed, but one thing that should never cause you stress is glitches and faux pas and things not quite going to plan on live videos. It's all part of the entertainment, and as long as it doesn't upset you, we get to enjoy the madness aswell. To be honest, I think I'd be disappointed if your presentation became too slick and professional. You and Carly are what matter and we'll take you both however you come. Please enjoy Mexico, and never forget....if an upload of a video is late because of technical issues or life just getting the better of you, WE'LL UNDERSTAND. Just give us a heads up so we're not wondering and we'll be perfectly happy to wait. It's only when we're expecting something and nothing happens that we start to get antsy, but that's a nod to how great your channel is and how much it's become a part of many of our lives. It's a side-effect of you and Ben's general efficiency anyway, so just put it down to mostly getting things right. Please go relax now. You earn your downtime every day of the year and we thank you for everything you do.
Pick a Flick has been a little bumpy but it's still a great idea. Lots of good possibilities. I don't know if it's like an invasion of privacy or something to get so see all the submitted picks but it's nice to see what people are thinking. Watching Cold Mountain now. Found it for 'free' on On Demand. There are some THICK accents happening. Way more violent than I remembered too.
Unfortunately Cold Mountain was the epidemy of Oscar bait, just BEGGING to win awards during it's Oscar campaign and when I finally saw it as an older teenager I just found it so, SO boring. I like all the actors in it, but watching it I found none of the performances in the movie sincere, or authentic. it felt like self parody, and JUST CHEESEY, yet it was nominated for and won Oscars! I just couldn't under the praise for it at all at the time. I sincerely hope I like it more on rewatch.
Yes. Don't think I'd go quite as far as you, there, but it was and is the kind of movie bound to score at the Oscars. (Kind of like the movie that Christopher Guest et al were parodying in For Your Consideration.)
Cassie you seemed just a wee bit stressed (or not as relaxed as usual) during the video. Please please please enjoy your trip to Mexico. We really appreciate you and your channel and Pick a Flick!
She put up two vids before where the sound wasn't working so she and Ben had been running around trying to fix it for a half hour. They were a little panicked. lol
That's a big coincidence. I was just talking to a friend today about Cold Mountain
I'm happy with Cold Mountain. It might not be my first pick, but I sure would pick it over Now and Then 🤷 just saying 😁
Zero stabbings, shootings, OR explosions in that one.
Wow, CallMeWheels just diving in front of me and taking a bullet as Cold Mountain has been my pick since Pick-a-flick started. Feel like I won too now, guess I better think of a new movie to chose.
Congrats. Looking forward to seeing that again. It's been a while. I remember it being good...and Renee really earned that Oscar.
I am always late for this. Enjoy your trip Cassie, and be safe.
4:52 "I don't have a mouse anymore" ... and I must stream! 9:03 Drago: "I must pop you!" Hourra pour La filiere, and disfruta tus vacaciones.
I need the odds to 1 in 3 for me to have any kind of chance
In the Grim Butter of the Popping Pan.....there is only POPCORN.
Phew, for a second I thought it was Brokeback Mountain, that would have been a bummer
Is there supposed to be sound?
The popping corn animation was cool. Alas, I missed the live draw. I have not seen "Cold Mountain," but it sounds like it could be up my alley. Enjoy your trip! Stay safe.
Cold Mountain was one of the 31 entries (off the list of the 287) that I "very much" would like a reaction. So the 1 in 9 chance hit.
Three Cheers for Cold Mountain!! Hip Hip Hooray!!
That was cool!
Oh crap, wasted two votes on a movie she's already seen. At least 'JFK' is still in the lead. Am interested in watching 'Cold Mountain', tried watching it with my ex, fell asleep, but that was because of work, not the movie, never got around to re-watching it.
Enjoy Mexico with the fam! You should try a silent film Cassie. There’s music and intertitles. I love “The Artist” / “The Passion of Joan of Arc” / “City Lights” / “The Gold Rush” … just to name a few. Can’t wait for The French Connection! The movie is based on Robin Moore’s account of the actual narcotics investigation and real Popeye detective. So fitting that you’re watching it first! Hope you enjoy.
"The Passion of Joan of Arc" is my all-time favorite film. That would make for a heck of a reaction.
YAY! We can hear!
Cold Mountain
Glad she is also watching "The French Connection", voting was very close.
Maybe you could use this in some way. Hot Butter- Popcorn Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBYjZTdrJlA
Huh. I guess I'd never heard the original version before. This is what I was expecting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skB5BYj21QQ
Looking forward to your Cold Mountain reaction!
Cold Mountain won. Lots of Oscar noms.
Winner: Cold Mountain (2003) Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, and Renée Zellweger
I heard it. She said we are all winners, so 287 days of Pick-A-Flicks?
Yes a premiere every day this year I think she said. That's what I heard.
Dang missed the pick again!
When is the best time to add to the list? I noticed the notification earlier today and dropped in my pick. When does the vote normally open? Is it the first of every month?
Whenever. It is open all month and resets on the first. You need to fill out another pick every month.
