Film The General Film Thread

[Raven]

What happened to James Cameron (apart from a load of other blockbuster films that he uses to fund his more interesting work?)

I don't begrudge his fucking about in the deep sea or whatever...but he stopped making good films quite some time ago.

Avatar are technical masterpieces.

They're not the most thrilling movies but I'd not call them bad. Just.. Mid.

 

[Scouse]

I think the Avatar movies - he's more talking about ecology. He's trying to get people to think about ecosystems and human behaviour and is just wrapping it up in a nice action movie wrapper to bring people along.

I think he's playing a different game tbh.

I couldn't get through the second one, tedious as fuck. The ride at Disneyworld is good though.

Watching Dragnet, because I took delivery of this today.

P.A.G.A.N. - SOFT JERSEY T-SHIRT

Inspired by the film, Dragnet, a 1987 American buddy cop parody-slapstick comedy film directed and co-written by Tom Mankiewicz in his directorial debut and stars Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks, the film is based on the radio and television crime drama of the same name. Hand screen printed on a black...

It's an old favourite of mine

It's fucking brilliant, not seen it at least 10 years. Peak Aykroyd/Hanks.

One Battle After Another was fantastic, it absolutely flew by.

Just fished that out of the ocean

 

[Scouse]

I can confirm it was very good indeed

Quoted for fucking truth - really really good.

 

[Gwadien]

Could tell it was a Jonny Greenwood soundtrack 10 mins in, so good.

Running Man was...worth a watch. It has lots of nods to the original, and it has a kind of retro-futurist look to it which is very well done. No opera-singing fat eunuchs in electric cars though; political correctness gone mad.

Thought it was shit, from start to finish.

I'm a Jackie Chan sucker, it's a little long, but it's definitely cool as fuck. Worth your time.

You may have to set sail

 

[Scouse]

Oh, and it was interesting because it's actually a couple of older guys (albeit a cool ensemble cast).

 

[Raven]

Nobody 2 was pretty good, story was a bit meh.

 

[DaGaffer]

Thought Wake Up Dead Man was a bit meh. Great cast, getting good reviews, but not much of a whodunnit.

Yeah, it didn't live up to the first at all.

Tron: Ares.

Jared Leto had so few lines the film was acceptable.

I thought that of the second one too.

I liked the first one, but the second didn't have a much in the way of Columbo. But the o/h wants to watch.

Was forced to watch it because: lady. We both thought it was a pile of wank.

Fucksake is it that bad? I really liked the original and legacy Tron films so I better watch it to at least say I've seen all three.

Also, posting is now working again, fucking ran out of space due to a huge log file.

I went out for a Christmas dinner a couple of nights back, stuffed myself stupid.

I had a fucking huge log file the following day too.

Don't start me off, I have 2 toilet brushes, a metre of 2.5mm T&E which can bend around the pipe and a bamboo stick, all nicely arranged as at least one of these items gets used every day.

You're missing the poop knife.
