Something like that. Incidentally, over 40 years later, Ive still never seen watership down. Some trauma just cannot be endured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to keep the joke going: Watership Down 2: Reloaded Speaking of animals with human voices, my priest and I just saw Strays and it was hysterical. I normally am not wild about raunch but this one did it well. Even the clean jokes were hysterical.. Jamie Foxx as the Boston Terrier stole the show. The Australian Shepherd was my other favorite. Dog lovers have to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalkre Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Saw the Flash now that it's out on streaming. Yeah... it's really bad. Besides Keaton and some amazing one liners thrown in for comedic effect... just a terrible movie. What really surprised me was how bad the CGI was. I had heard there were some bad spots but basically it was every spot that was terrible. I felt like I was watching a 00s PC game the CGI was so dated and noticeable. The premise of the movie had potential... but the writing was atrocious. Considering how 'meh' Marvel movies have been as of late this was a lost opportunity, for sure.

Ssnake Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The Flash is DC. Also, even if these aren't all shining examples, the number of Hollywood movies that are not Marvel Cinematic Universe films since the series started vastly outnumbers the total MCU production. That's still true if you lump every superhero movie into the lot, and count every TV/streaming episode as a separate film, including adaptations like the Watchmen HBO series which don't really have anything to do with the rest. That some Hollywood producers like to minimize financial risks with their preference for sequels, remakes, and reboots is maybe artistically deplorable, but in the end this still is a business first and foremost, and if the audience would pay big bucks for arthouse cinema, we'd get more arthouse films. But the audience seems to be wooed by AAA rollercoaster popcorn movies, so that's what they deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalkre Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It may even be too late for Gunn to save the revamped DC launch. The second Suicide Squad is one of the best superhero movies we've ever gotten... yet it bombed at the box office (to be fair it came out when COVID was still causing a mess with normal life so without seeing how it's done from streaming it's hard to say for sure).

Ivanhoe Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Gotta grudgingly thank FB for this. One of my favorite movies, Hard Times, featured James Coburn and Strother Martin. It turns out they worked together before, on "Have Gun - Will Travel" in 1959; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0597555/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucklucky Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Saw last Mission Impossible. A disappointment, senseless action scenes just to runup the minutes - specially the one in Rome- sparse dialogue and support narratives. The central idea was good but badly cooked.

Stuart Galbraith Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I saw one of them, the one where he has a contract put on him and he has to get out of new york in 24 hours. It was ok, but I dont really see what the enthusiasm was about. Maybe it had shot its bolt by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Fredriksson Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Konferensen / The Conference. Municipal board goes on team building weekend. Some of them are assholes. Many get murdered. No masterpiece, but still quite enjoyable. Think a more light-hearted Severance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Only film I watched recently was Netflix's 'The Bombardment. I lasted 5 minutes. Car full of pretty redhead girls gets shredded by a Mosquito Mk6. Ok, such things sometimes happen in war, but whilst determining whether to continue watching it, I found that not only was it made up, but they credited it to one of the crew's who took part in Operation Carthage, a real airman, whose family were apopleptic that he was casually assigned as a committing a war crime. So they actually changed it after the premiere, but left in the gratuitious scene of a Mosquito casually gunning down a civilian car. Its too bad really, its something im reading about at the moment, and there DOES need to be a film made about it. But if they are just making shit up on the fly, I dont see the point watching it. Saw Bennedict Cumberbatch playing Greville Wynne (Oleg Penkovsky's contact) in Netflix's 'The Courier. Pretty good, even though they played around with the history a little bit, its a good bit of cold war drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssnake Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 It's an episode within that movie, where mostly the Russian mob gets harrassed. Of course, there are still more ludricrous elements in it than I care listing. But for mental switch-off cinema with an actor mostly known for his comedic talents - not too bad.

Totally understand, but the obvious whitewashing and race swapping of the urban ferals is....bothersome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
