What film did you watch last night?

[Drago]

The Contractor.
Chris Pine fails to take the military-industrial baton from Bourne in a dull tale of private military contractors fool enough to kill other PMCs without thinking that they will be next.

I gave up on that after 40 minutes.

Leonardo di caprio

Jonah hill

An unusual film but in a good way. About a meteor heading towards earth.

The bok that it's based on is a really good read.

Into The Deep - 2/10

I didn't have much, if any expectations of this beyond "It's probably going to be bad". And it is. There's about 30 minutes of actual film here and an hour of meaningless flashbacks featuring Richard Dreyfuss who I assume they spent all their money on to give this some kind of legitimacy.

All the standard tropes of a shark disaster film are here, played out badly with some truly awful CGI and weird camera work.

What's most bizarre is Dreyfuss' piece to camera over the final credits about "shark conservation", which veers all over the place and is borderline racist at times. There's no specific message here either, and the film definitely didn't have a "let's save sharks" vibe so why the film makers did this is beyond me.

Not that I needed a excuse to watch it but with the passing of the great Gene Hackman we watched The Royal Tenenbaums last night....class ❤️

Also watched Triangle of Sadness in the week..didn't think I'd really like it but was won over,made me laugh anyway.Starring Woody Harelson it's basically a satire about the super rich.On iPlayer and worth a watch.
8/10

I'll be watching French Connection this weekend in a similar tribute of sorts. It was the first "adult" (paging @Fnaar) film I watched as a young'un so there are a lot of fond memories.

I know it wasn't Anderson's first, but it was a gateway into a wonderful world for me, and I suspect many others. ❤️ indeed!

Was that the one where Bill Murray had to come onto set every day to keep Hackman in his place as he had a reputation for bullying people ?

Bullying might be pushing it a bit...saw that interview last night.
Bill Murray Remembers Gene Hackman As A “Tough Nut” Who Gave Wes Anderson A “Really Rough” Time On ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’.

 

[Punkawallah]

The Kenneth Moore ‘39 Steps’. Still laughed when he TWOC’d the baddies car while they were changing the wheel :-)

Also watched Triangle of Sadness in the week..didn't think I'd really like it but was won over,

We watched that when it came out, after seeing all the hype for it. My god what an awful film. We were really disappointed. In our house it's called Triangle of Boredom.

That vomiting scene is just terrible.

0/10

Lol....having worked on cruise ships for a few years when younger I used to pray for rough seas...and the seasickness that followed 🤣

I watched this last night.

It's very good, and not as self preachy as some reviews suggest it is.

The Steve Jobs/Elon Musk and the President of the USA characters are eerily preminiscent of the current Elon Musk/Donald Trump combo.

Ps The General and the Drinks/Crisps is a very funny ongoing gag
