What film did you watch last night?

[HMS_Dave]

If you went back in time, with good intentions, to erase this shonky, badly-acted mediocre movie, then T2 - possibly the best action-SF movie ever made - would also cease to be.

And then *I* would have to go back in time to murder the child Drago.

Hmm. You can see how these things escalate ...

I agree. I've watched Back To The Future and it doesnt end well for the delorean.

The Blue Caftan. Morocco. Tailor. Wife . Dying. Apprentice. Handsome. Life. Love. Death. Freddy Mercury tash. Not necessarily in that order. 5/5.

I watched Umpire of Light, very disappointed, it was nothing to do with cricket.


really good film actually, very much enjoyed it and definitely worth a trip to the cinema

sat with George and watched Kenneth More Northwest Frontier a brilliant film.

Wind River.

Seen it before, but well worth watching again and again.

Jeremy Renner proves he can act properly and outs in a surprisingly intense and sensitive turn as a Fish and Game officer enlisted by Elizabeth Olsen's FBI character to help track a murderer. Olsen herself does a good job lritrayi g a slightly naieve but nevertheless strong will shenet determined to get justice, even if it means in the end letting Renner take matters into his own hands.

Well paced and will a brilliant ending. The climactic shootout is superb for those that lime thwt sort of thing, and just when you think it's all over...

A genuinely worthy 9/10.

The Square....A cringe comedy about the art world.Ive seen it before but was worth another watch.I think Elizabeth Moss and Claes Bang are great actors...my partner has a unhealthy crush on Claes so I'm sure that's why we watched it again lol.

Last night watched Things to do in Denver when you're dead; a reasonably entertaining and slightly quirky '90s tale of Andy Garcia's now-straight ex-gangster getting sucked back in for one last "action" by Christopher Walken's boss character, with inevitably catastrophic results.. I'd say 6.5/10 if you're in the mood.

Currently taking some time out from life watching Cronenberg's 1981 horror classic Scanners; concerning weaponised telepaths and containing the infamous exploding head scene. A familiar, comfortable favourite and deserved cult classic that goes deeper than the fantastical obvious subject matter and touches on elements of mental illness, neurolgical divergence, dysfunction and ostracism; 8/10

Scanners is close to a masterpiece despite it's b-movie sci-fi horror vibe; a brilliant film

Don't make the mistake I did of buying it in a box set including the 2 sequels which are respectively bad, and dreadful; neither directed by Cronenberg. This doesn't undermine the brilliant Scanners itself though

All You Need Is Cash (YouTube)

Documentary of the Rutles
7/10

It's certainly not Spinal Tap but the music is excellent. If anyone asks if I like the Beatles, I always reply "I prefer the Rutles"

Creed 3.
It was ok, quite predictable obviously. But it was alright. Not recommended or not not recommended. Just wanted to go out for a bit. Boxing stuff. Shrugs.

Scream 6.
I walked out of the cinema.
Check this out: a couple of guys came in a tad late and sat on our row then asked me how long ago the movie started.
30 seconds I told them.

And then.... They started having a little conversation. After a minute, I politely asked them to not talk and they asked why. (Wth what do you mean why) I told them co I wanna watch the movie and if they wanna talk then move over a bit, which they did and all was fine. Movie was still crap though.

Scanners was such a cult film when a was a youngster,everyone talked about the exploding heads !
But..... I'm sure I've had this conversation on here before I don't rate Cronenberg sorry,not like I haven't tried.I respect he has his own style but I've never really warmed to it.

Aye - I think it's better than the genre suggests it might be. I've not seen the sequels (nor do I intend to) however sadly that seems par for the course with such fare - the Hellraiser franchise springs to mind; although maybe not in such an extreme way.

I missed out on it first time around (I was a year old when it was released ) however it certainly seems to retain a cult following.

I guess it's all a matter of taste and personally find Cronenberg variable - I love some of his work (Scanners, Shivers, The Dead Zone) like some (The Fly, Naked Lunch, Videodrome) and am indifferent / oblivious to others.. I guess that's par for the course with any artist though - certainly seems that way with a lot of music.

American Gangster.

Denzel Washington shoots Idris Elba. Russell Crowe gets so upset about it that he forces himself to speak with a Dreadful fake American accent.

4/10.

Indeed. I distinctly remember such a conversation when it came out. But I've still not seen it. Some time, perhaps. I saw the Towering Inferno for the first time recently and I remember when that came out too, so there is hope.
