Missus just told me that she was reading 'Silence of the Sheep'. Took me a minute to cotton on.

Ewe are correct.
Citizenfour is good, but I knew the entire story beforehand. The only thing new to me were the scenes of Snowden pissing about in his hotel room.
I watched the Warriors after a Simpson reference (and some shit documentary reference) peaked my interest. If anyone's into utterly lol old movies give it a watch. It's not funny mind you, just cringey from start to finish. Music was pretty good though.
The Warriors is fantastic viewing at all times and ages.
When's the last time there was this much consensus about a film?
Cliffhanger
I went to go see Austin Powers 2, 4 times at the cinema. I haven't seen a movie twice at the cinema before or after that moment. What a film.
Start a thread you gimps.
I'm leaving that post there so Toby looks like a nutter.
You've also made it look like Spoonsky reckons two people posting different opinions about a cult film from the seventies is the most united we've ever been on a film.
That's why it's such a Cliffhanger.
Turned off The Man from UNCLE halfway through. Just didn't seem like anything had any coherence, Henry Cavill is a terrible actor.
Me too, not many movies have I actually forced myself to shut off. But this was really bad.
I didn't hate it, but it was a bit crap.
Spectre is genuinely a bit shit isn't it? Haven't been that bored in such a long time.
Test.
I still maintain it would have been a good movie with (at least) half an hour lopped from it, but yeah, as it was it was quite boring at times.
I thought it got better towards the end.
The beginning sequence was a little bit naff.
Birdman was absolutely mental, but I really enjoyed it. Can tell its one of those films you can watch a few times and change your mind on the whole tone/context.
Birdman.
Just watched The Burbs. Classic stuff.
That film with Brad Pitt, Gosling, Bale, and the Office fella looks complete shite.
What film's that Pep?
Something about the housing market crash.
Hadn't even heard of it. Must be out in England in 2016.
Birdman.
Top, top film. Being a Ray Carver fan helps too.
The product placement for Halo 5 in Mission Impossible 5.
The new Bond is a 5 or 6. More interested in being indulgent than building suspense or tension. Disappointing.
Just watch Margin Call..
That's a cracking film.
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is alright, but nothing more.
It still annoys me that the first hour-ish of Ghost Protocol was fucking ace and then it immediately became a bloated mess.
As much as I like Simon Pegg, I just can't take him seriously. The film is decent entertainment though.
He's just a bit televisual.
Couple of friends were asking about seeing Spectre today, but you have all convinced me that it'll be a DVD only job.
It's probably worth seeing in the cinema, or at least would be if the cinema wasn't £12 a pop.
I've barely seen anyone not say it's average to rubbish (here or otherwise), so definitely not worth it. I'll watch it because it's a Bond and I've seen all the rest but it'll definitely be one for a bored day in work on the laptop.
I'll hopefully save my second cinema trip of the year for Star Wars.
Hull Odeon is now pushing itself as THE CHEAPEST CINEMA IN THE COUNTRY. I had a free ticket on my Odeon card (lol) for Spectre, but I think The Martian was about £5.80. The South can keep its jobs and opportunities.
It is nuts.
The Martian, in 3D (with the glasses that I buy every fucking time) was over £30 for two tickets.
I saw Under the Skin at the Odeon at Leicester Square and it struck me as very expensive, which I assumed was just a London thing but perhaps not.
Yesterday I saw a screening of Benedict Cumberbatch's Hamlet at the Barbican. It more or less lived up to the height, I think; until intermission it was one of the best, most intense things I've seen in the "theater," though it did fall off a little at the end. I think it was designed to appeal to more of a mass audience - it was very cinematic, definitely a blockbuster - which is why the friends I sat with liked it much more than the professors my parents sat with.
Leicester Square is more expensive than your average cinema but not by a huge margin.
2D film here is £10.40 if you walk in off the street (10% discount if you book online).
It's far better to just buy a card (£16.90 with Cineworld) and you're free to go to as many films as you wish.
I feel like Leicester Square was something like £10.40 for me. Perhaps the exchange rate inflated it in my head.
Yeah, none of the cinemas near me do that sort of thing.
I think I pay about 6 quid to go to the cinema. Living in the south must be properly shit sometimes.
I saw Black Mass earlier. It was pretty good, with Depp being excellent.
I thought Spectre was rubbish. It's basically just your standard action film, nothing special really. I wanted to go see The Martian again, but it wasn't my birthday so didn't get to make the choice.
