Film The General Film Thread

Watching (Right now) the 89 Keaton Batman with Nicholson as Joker. I mean.. It's not -bad- but. Yeah, I'll probably never watch it again. Not the worst 80s film ever.

Second time ever watching it. Second time likely to be the last.

Xtreme on Netflix, German action flick, not completely terrible.

 

[caLLous]

Godzilla vs. Kong. Worth it for the CGI and fights. I've already forgotten most of the human characters' names.

Pretty narrow list of directors.

i think they just have some fav directors and listed their films with a few others thrown in for good measure.

It is by no means comprehensive - and it certainly includes critic favoured artsy movies aka "snooze fest", but it did largely provide me with new movies to watch.

It's a non sequel sequel

 

[Scouse]

I loved the first one and don't care who knows it.

Watched it a couple of nights ago. It's kinda shit and great at the same time.

The fart the girl in facing the corner does made me laugh the hardest.

 

[Hawkwind]

Watched Grosse Point Blank again, a great film with a brilliant soundtrack.

Solidarity baby!

James Gunn good, "no studio interference" good, Margot Robbie in every fucking DC movie, meh.

It looks like it will be OK, and the cast is good, but I'm painfully aware I said that last time.

 

[Raven]

Frankly I would watch Margot Robbie in pretty much anything. *twitch*

Her Harley Quinn is nowhere near as good as she thinks it is (Kaley Cuoco's is way better), and like the Joker, Warner Brothers feel the need to stuff her into every movie

 

[Yoni]

I will reserve judgement until I have seen it.... although a little excited...

There's a lot going on in that trailer.

 

[MYstIC G]

There's a lot going on in that trailer.

Except a reason to care, which I'm finding with all the new MCU stuff like Black Widow, etc.

 

[DaGaffer]

I’ve got to be honest, I had no interest in this; just another chop-socky movie based on the first trailer, but now I’m interested as it shows it’s connecting tissue to the rest of the MCU.

I’ve enjoyed all the D+ shows so far as well.

MOORRRRRTTAAALLLL MAAARRVEEELLLL KOMMBAAAT.

Looks interesting.

 

[Scouse]

I like chop-socky movies that are real people and proper choreography.

This stuff leaves me completely dry from an action point of view - it's just more pretty CG nonsense. Give me Bruce Lee or early Jackie Chan any time.

The rest of the dryness comes from the fact that I've no idea how it fits into the wider marvel universe and to be honest I don't really care.

The disney stuff has been good and I'll likely pirate and watch but I was completely bored watching the trailer. Fireworks are not enough any more tbh.

Iceroad on Amazon, not as shit as I thought it would be.

Really? I thought it was awful, the plot was hilarious.

 

[Raven]

It was alright, the plot was kind of secondary.

Just watched this on Amazon:

Runaway (1984) ⭐ 5.9 | Action, Crime, Sci-Fi

1h 39m | 15

Fucking best film ever*.

Especially with Tom Selleck necking the bird for two whole minutes of the end credits.











No. Really!

I watched The Dig on Netflix, and I love it. I'm a bit of a sucker for period stuff.

I thought that not a lot happens but it looks very pretty as it does it. Pleasant enough watch but didn't leave me calling out for more! Lots of British films like the last 10 years or so - great cinematography, not a huge amount of plot. Nothing really wrong with that mind, I still enjoy watching them.

I definitely watched that film in 1984.

I watched it a little bit later but being young it gave me nightmares.

Yeah. I kind of remembered the spiders from something.

It's the performance of Gene Simmons that makes it for me. Fucking nutter. Gene Simmons!
