The Movies

Rip, you've said many times how Ridley Scott doesn't make any bad movies. Do you have an opinion on Legend, his 1985 fantasy movie?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Watched it recently. My opinion stands.

[Jason Donaldson]

Watched it recently. My opinion stands.

I definitely wasn't offering it as a counterexample. I've always liked that movie, though it seems to get a bad rap. It turns out that, like many of Scott's movies, there are multiple versions. AM I right in assuming you recommend the director's cut on this one, too?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Always. Scott knows how he wants his movie edited.

Ronin from 1998. I love car chases.

[Steven Kalin]

Rip, did you ever get around to watching the Last Samurai? I believe you said you were going to give it another watch.

Watched it recently. My opinion stands.

Wrong. Napoleon. The Last Duel. House of Gucci. A Good Year. Alien Covenant. All of these films are bland and boring and BAD.

[Mark Rippetoe]

Opinions vary.

Really? Objectively speaking, the Last Duel was bad? There’s no personal opinion involved there?

The only good thing is Jodie Comer's performance.
