Just watched Mr Nobody, excellent, its rare I can sit through a movie on my own in one sitting but this kept me glued, although it could have been condensed a little.
About to watch The Prestige for the first time.

The Prestige is great.

Well, that's intriguing.
Yeah I saw the trailer for that last week. Is that a UK release date or US?
Anyone else think the #OscarsSoWhite thing is a bit #RooneyRule?
It's like when the FA put that racist panel together. Which black people should have been nominated, and which nominees should have missed out? Name names you whinging cunts.
Its like that news that came out today about Mi6 being the best employer of tick boxes. All fine and well until we have to send a non-binary queer mong to assassinate a head of state.
The best black films I've seem this year were on Liveleak. :harold:
Jada Pinkett is obviously pissed off because she reckons Will Smith should have got in for that film about brain injuries. Hopefully she takes this Oscar boycott a bit further and boycotts the industry as a whole. That would be lovely.
I've seen a couple of different trailers for Dirty Grandpa now and I haven't had some much as a near-smirk. Looks dreadful.
That's not at all surprising given a second nationality is almost an entry requirement.Quote:

I've only seen their stuff on YouTube (which must be their best stuff), but Key & Peele. :cool:
Carol is the best movie of the year, probably.
The remake of Martyrs is, as expected, absolute fucking shite. Everyone involved, including Laugier, should be shot.
It's 'out' is it DS?
The Revenant is great, but oh my the scenery and the soundtrack is absolutely breathtaking. The main motif (is that the right word) throughout is so good. :drool:
And Tom Hardy's accent wasn't as strange as I was expecting from what people were saying.
Yeah :)Quote:

Sometimes one has to take a stand.
Its worth watching just to see how butchered it is. Everything that makes it great is stripped back.

Its an empty husk of a film.

Lol @ the obvious Rooney Rule casting.
Chef starts out well - and it's good overall if you don't take it too seriously - but Jesus it's filled with some cheesy and/or unoriginal shit at times.
Watched The Last Witch Hunter last night, I didn't really like it too much. 2/5 stars.
Vin Diesel is...well Vin Diesel. Lots of CGI, story was ok..films like this I like to call time wasters if you have nothing else to watch.
That is coolQuote:

I guess having heard that long before seeing the film removed it as a highlight.
But you made me discover their Wiki page has a subtitle of "Violent deaths of group members", so thanks I guess.
:cool: The soundtrack to that film is pretty damn good. It's just a really effective feel-good film.
If you could sum up Chef with a smiley it would be:
:)
It's no Little Miss Sunshine.
The Thirteenth Floor was quite good.

Oh my :drool:
Bilge.
Margot Robbie looked good in that role because up until now it's just been her oversized grin, the costume, and the occasional giggle. Based on that trailer though she isn't convincingly mental, and that's a problem.
That looks like complete bollocks, another bag of shit to add the ever growing nerdy shite comic pile. Fuck off, really. Make some fucking decent, thought provoking films instead of squandering money on this.
Good films still get made. Probably more than ever before.
The bigger studios are more likely to take a risk on something they mightn't otherwise if they've got a reliable moneymaker around too, so the fact that Avengers and anyrhing connected to it is making billions will actually help the 'thought provoking' films get made.
Rank Title Studio Worldwide gross 1 Star Wars: The Force Awakens Lucasfilm $1,946,770,736 2 Jurassic World Universal Pictures $1,668,984,926 3 Furious 7 $1,515,047,671 4 Avengers: Age of Ultron Marvel Studios $1,405,035,767 5 Minions Universal Pictures / Illumination Entertainment $1,157,275,017 6 Spectre MGM / Columbia $877,485,272 7 Inside Out Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar $856,130,132 8 Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation Paramount Pictures $682,330,139 9 The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Lionsgate Films $651,201,332 10 The Martian 20th Century Fox $598,193,524
The best one is at the bottom, second best at number 7. My word we don't half like to consume some utter shite. Minions at 5? Fuck me.
What point are you trying to make with that chart? That big, loud films tend to make more money? Well fuck me. What a revelation.
Why don't you just shut up and let me come out with ill thought out statements?
The real worry isn't the big loud explodiness noted by John, it's this:Quote:

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a slightly-updated boot sequel stamping on a human face - forever.

I liked every film you mention, including the Thirteenth Floor. Perhaps it was the whole turn of the millenium thing?Quote:

It's saved me from looking like an idiot again, I really do have to be quick given the frequency of these occurrences.
I'd class it as a sequel because it directly ties into the plot of the previous Daniel Craig ones.Quote:
