Was hoping for a bigger lol pay off but, yeah, what? Why have they done that?

Next from Amazon Prime, 100 years later, someone tries to kill all the jews again . . .

Leave The World Behind is truly awful.

[Yevrah]

Gran Turismo accomplishes the rare feat of being utterly abysmal but somehow still quite good.

I enjoyed Roadhouse despite it just being absolutely ridiculous.

Same. I'm seeing people hating on McGregor in it but I thought he was hilarious. He has one note and he plays it to a tee. A lot of the other supporting cast is really great as well.

[Lofty]

How does it compare to the original?

I wasn't that convinced. It didn't feel like the right kind of bad and it was a bit crass to use his Nurburgring crash (which happened years after the Le Mans stuff) as a big drama point. Plus you don't need to sex that crash up. The real life footage is brutal.

I rewatched Behind Enemy Lines. Still bangs. Owen Wilson watches Harvey from Suits get killed via the smallest binoculars you've ever seen.

Road House

It was alright for what it was but apart from calling the main character Dalton it had nothing in common with the original.

[Manc]

I'm bang into the horror genre atm. Are there any modern classics I might have missed? I'm thinking along the lines of Hereditary.

Recommending Dashcam over Host?

[Dark Soldier]

Recommending Dashcam over Host?

I think Host is better as a concept, and run time, with what it packs in, but I prefer Dashcam. I also love Spree, which is divisive.

[Baz]

Just watch the Dashcam end credits and ignore the film.

Just watched The Flash, honestly if you go in with low expectations and just expect a comic book romp with all the standard multiverse shit in it, it's fine. Nowhere near as bad as people were claiming when it came out.

Already sounds awful.

I just can't watch Ezra Miller. Even if he wasn't a headcase turbo nonce, he'd still be insufferable.

[Kikó]

Dune 2 is excellent. Well worth watching it in the cinema

[Dark Soldier]

It leaked today so you can watch in the comfort of your own home.

Deal me in.

I've finally seen Oppenheimer. Given I went in expecting to be bored (I wasn't) and assuming the film could have done with 30-45 minutes of it edited out (it could), it was actually pretty good.

[niko_cee]

Even accounting for the dreadfulness of modern remakes/sequels/prequels/universes, this is a headline with ostensibly no redeeming features:

Pamela Anderson joins Liam Neeson for Naked Gun remake

[phonics]

I thought Chalamet was really good in Dune 2 which is a surprise as I think he's been complete wank the rest of the time.

[Baz]

Is Dream Scenario good? The one with Nicolas Cage turning up in everyone’s dreams, from what I could gather from the trailer.

Just watched. lol wtf (no)
