Film The General Film Thread

None of it is canon, they just make it up on the spot.

"They" change it year by year.

Watched Chasing Mavericks, the true story of young surfer Jay Moriarty , spot on movie, Gerald Butler as the seasoned surfer who trains him to take on the huge waves off California.

If ye haven't seen Prisoners (2013), do so. Great thriller/mystery slow burner.

Just got back from watching Logan, thought it was a great finale.

Spoiler

no idea how X-Men film continuity all fits together anymore, so I'm treating this like an alternate universe

Funny you brought that up, this shows how it all pretty much hangs together:

I thought Logan was an excellent ending given it removes all the ambiguity of "what happens afterwards". The only bits I couldn't get on board with really were

Spoiler

Xavier was totally scrambled when you first see him, then a couple of pills and some sleep later and he's all hunky dory and 100% lucid.

 

[Shagrat]

ok I've just watched this, it is without doubt the maddest film I've seen in a long time, totally excellent!

Anyone of you seen Ichi the killer? Some real sick shit.

I wrongly assumed this would be Reddit at its worst. You're right though, it was a pretty good read

[Raven]

Looks waaaank.

 

[Moriath]

Didnt like the book. Thhink i got to part that describes some guy in really tight trousers and didnt feel the need to continue.

Original film was a bit crap too. Most stephen king films are rubbish with shawshank and shining being the exceptions

 

[fettoken]

Original IT trailer is crap, but the movie in itself is great. Builds up atmosphere and doesn't fall flat mid-time. We´ll see how this one stands.

Fantastic Beasts and... just leave them where they are.

Snoreathon.

+1 to this, I wouldn't call it mad though.
I'd say it's on par with the best of romeros zombie films.

Trying to watch the latest Resident Evil movie adaption but goddamn the constant shaky camera (apart from the obvious shitty movie) is throwing me off, what where they thinking?

I had shacky cam issues with ss gb as well. Jesus keep the camera still. I want to see the image on the screen not be distracted by the edges moving

 

[dysfunction]

The only shaky cam thing I ever watched from start to finish was Blair Witch Project.
I don't get it so never again.

Never watch tbwp. Seemed shit at the time and still does

Cant believe no one has said how shit the chips reboot looks. They changed it to a comedy.

The original series was awesome.

The original movie was just the tv series cobbled together..I dont get King movies, they are like the Adam Sandler of horror, the child sex part of the IT book is just seriously wrong as well...King is a weirdo hiding in plain sight.

 

[fettoken]

King is a weirdo hiding in plain sight.

Well, yeah, have you seen Langoliers?

Jeff Bridges. All I need to know.

[Moriath]

Loved the first film

Was it? Was it really? I think your nostalgia chip is on the blink.

The guy that was in The Raid.

Headshot (2016) - IMDb

Pretty damn good.

Pretty damn good.

Both Raids were pretty good. This however is sub-par. The acting in the Raids was perfectly meshed into the action, this feels like two separate streams. It's as if they put down their paper with the lines and go "Ok, now comes the fighting scene."

 

[leggy]

Ghost in the Shell. Anime fans should maybe stay away but it wasn't quite as shit as the critics are making out.

Plus Scarlett...

In a weird body suit, walking all weird.

 

[DaGaffer]

Love the last line in the trailer...
