Bravo. Let's have another.
and another...
Last one.
She is (was?) absolutely superb.
Probably more 'was', but i certainly agree with that.
Her appearance in Heartbreakers broke my mind.
It is and you do.
Just rented it
Concussion is quite good. Smith should have got an Oscar nomination.
So I'm watching The Big Short on account of its Oscars win. Not very impressed at all. All the bankers are either super smug or super-villainous. I know bankers are generally tossers but this is complete overkill. There's also no redeeming qualities about anyone in the whole film. It's just all a bit boring. The documentaries that came out about are much better.
Was it someone here who recommended Enemy to me? It's not up to much.
Spectre
Shite. The blonde lass in that dress though
As abysmal as I expected it to be.
Mexicans/Asians getting stiffed again.
Thought it was a good point made that this 'movie of female empowerment' has a black character who's only skill in the group is "She knows the streets"
Of all the possible motivations for making that movie, I can assure you, feminism wasn't one of them.
Watching this and it must be the worst year he's done so far. There are about 6 joint awards given.

The twat.
Is it our generation that is the first to suffer the on going re-makes of classics but in a shitter format. That includes crappy sequels.
They normally put some of the best bits in trailers, so if that holds true here, that will be one of the worst films ever made.
I watched The Wicker Man for the first time today. What an absolutely wonderful film. I didn't know what to expect beforehand, I just knew it was somewhat of a "cult classic". But it exceeded every expectation I could've had. It's up there with The Shining as far as I'm concerned.
The music was brilliant too. I've been humming the maypole song all day.
I then watched Harry Brown, which was pretty good. Caine was great, of course, but I thought the entire thing was a bit implausible at moments. Still a good watch, though.
So I decided to familiarize myself with the Oscar nominees from this year, and started with Bridge of Spies since it has been getting good reviews and was also well received here.
And, well... that was a bit of a letdown. The first half of the film was good, there's an interesting moral dilemma, you can definitely see that the Coens co-wrote it with some of the deadpan humor, and there's tension as to what's going to happen. But in the second half the film kind of manages to lose all of it. The characters aren't particularly interesting, the attempted humor comes more in weird tonal shifts, and plot-wiseToggle SpoilerAlso there's the obvious scenes where you're spoonfed emotions with kitschy music, which is just Spielberg, I guess, but I thought he does it better in his other films.
It was gorgeous to look at, I'll give it that.
All in all, not terrible, but I'm probably not going to watch it again. Might also have been many spy movie references flying over my head, though.
Zero Dark Thirty took a long while to get going but wasn't too bad.
It would make a lot more with men as the lead roles. This is definitely a statement, trying too hard to be different.
It would still be crap with men.
I agree, it probably would. It wouln't be a gimmick, at least.
Just a straight rehash of a film that isn't even that old, which is worse really. They're doing something different because otherwise what's the point?
Fine, I wonder what the reaction would be to a male Sex And The City?
This will bomb because fans of the original are largely male and don't want to see unfunny women ruin a classic.
"Making a statement". Seriously, have a day off.
A male Sex in the City wouldn't have much of a market. I'm sure it's been done as an occasional sketch but nobody is going to give a shit beyond the initial laugh. I assume you're suggesting there would be an upset, which is a bit lol.
Isn't that basically Entourage?
Fucking hell, could we not do this in here as well? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
We're definitely not doing this in here. Put a lid on it.
I assume from his latest edit that he's watched a lot more about Sex in the City than I have, so I'll cede to his superior knowledge on it.
Seriously, that's enough of that, from everyone. Let's just breeze on past it.
Warning points from now on.
It wasn't even that good in the first place.
Dan Akroyd gets head off a ghost in the original. And Bill Murray fiddles a woman in her sleep. Maybe we owe them this one.
