Soooo...good Ridley Scott or shit Ridley Scott? On the plus side, his very first film, The Duelists, was set in the Napoleonic era, and that's a brilliant film. But it's Ridley Scott, so who the fuck knows?

Right that is now added to the watch list, keep em coming, I have Amazon Prime, NetFlix.

It's certainly pretty Ridley Scott.

But I'm with you. For me, whether his films are good or bad seem really to rely on luck more than anything else.

The one thing Ridley Scott does consistently well is cinematography; it's usually characters and plot where his stuff falls apart

Yep. He comes from an advertising background, so he needs to know what looks nice.

Anyone going to watch Oppenheimer then?

 

[Embattle]

I'll get it on Blu-ray once it comes out.

The real Disney Remake.

 

[Scouse]

I'd pay to see that.

Anyone seen The Flash?

Would I be unnecessarily burning up free life to watch it?

Yes. It's not a total bin fire, but it's definitely not worth two and a half hours of your time on Earth.

Long wank would be better.

 

[Scouse]

Long wank would be better.

Rarely is it otherwise.

 

[Jupitus]

Long wank would be better.

In your world that's just quite a few until it gets too sore, right? (waits for 'it's never to sore for a wank')

Soothing creams are available.

Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Thought it was very silly
The first two movies were better

Also thought Eternals sucked

Gonna be hard to top Endgame. Or maybe I'm turning into full-blown Dad mode....

a mate saw it and said it was surprisingly good. I'd watch it for the Batman content but I'm not sure I can suspend my disbelief long enough to not think about how much of a wibbly ballsack that Ezra Miller fella is.

The Flash film is utter garbage.

Watched The Flash and Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 yesterday. I thought The Flash was the better of the 2.

 

[Scouse]

May give it a bash as bats is in there then.

Watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and it was indeed the worst of em but just on the right side of being worth a watch.

 

[Scouse]

I thought The Flash was the better of the 2.

Can confirm.

If only for the Bats thing

 

[DaGaffer]

TMNT. OK film, great visuals, brilliant soundtrack.

 

[Overdriven]

The newest Spiderman. Animated one.

8/10.

As good as the first one. Didn't realise it was 2 1/2 hours long and could have kept watching.

They best not rush the third one.

 

[BloodOmen]

The Last Voyage of the Demeter was alright, nothing special but worth a watch if you like dracula/horror type stuff.

 

[Scouse]

Just watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Lots wrong with it. Too much Waller-Bridge (to the point that she detracts somewhat from Indy's character). But still, not a complete dumpster-fire, so if you like Indy then you may as well watch it.

6.7 on IMDb is probably about right tbh.

 

[Embattle]

I'll get the boxset when they all come out on 4k.

I agree to much of her getting in the way of things. Also way too much bad CGI. I found it to be a bit jarring.
It was certainly better than I expected but I would give it a 5/10

No fridge?

I think people who play computer games can spot bad CGI easily. My gripe with CGI is that it makes it possible to do just fucking stupid stunts. I like real stuff, with stuntmen.

No fridge?

They've pulled back from that madness.

 

[Wij]

Would have made Threads a really fun film. "Everyone into a fridge!". Everyone lives \o/
