I thought you were all on about a new SpiderMan film. Is SpiderMan in one of the Avengers series? Are they the same franchise?
I was too busy imagining an incest scene to be honest.
There's going to be a Spiderman film called "Spiderman: Homecoming" next year so they gave him a cameo in the new Captain America film.
I believe Marvel Studios signed the rights off from Sony/Paramount or something to put him in the MCU.
Enjoyed True Grit more than I thought I would.
Jeff Bridges is pretty damned good in everything I see him in. I.e. he's good at being pissed.
I don't usually share my snobby opinions on film posters but my word...

John Travolta's face is becoming quite special.
Everybody Wants Some is great, very enjoyable. Almost makes me want to take the Mert path in life. I'll have to watch Dazed and Confused properly now.
It's terrible isn't it? It almost spoils the otherwise really good film.
Predestination isn't bad. Above-average time-travel stuff which almost holds together on a logical level, which is itself quite rare.
My missus' head nearly exploded at the end of Predestination. I wasn't too far behind.
I loved it, but the more I think back to it the more I'm convinced that was largely down to Sarah Snook's performance, which was fantastic.
Henry seems like the type to suck a stillbitrh from a homosexual man
Pure Pwnage Teh Movie took a while longer than it should have to get going (instant lols from the first few mins aside) but it was pretty good once it did. I'm a superfan though so way biased.
I'm a twit
I enjoyed the new Cap'n Murica film, which is no huge surprise. The pleasant surprise was that I thought Spider-Man looked deeply irritating in the trailers but he was pretty solid in the film. As much as Winter Soldier is the best Marvel film the Captain America ones are the ones which tend to take themselves the most SUPER SRS so having Spider-Man and Ant-Man in the jolly things up a bit was nice.
I watched the trailer for the first Captain America film the other day. I didn't know much about them/him previously as I'd just dismissed it as comic book shite. I actually thought it looked alright and might give it a go sometime.
They probably make for the best actual films because he doesn't really have mega powers and he isn't a particularly complex character, so it can't just be him blowing everything up and having a mood on.
So The Irishman is finally happening...?

Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel. Goddamn.De Niro and Pacino have been attached to star in The Irishman for years. The movie finally has finally gotten a start date now that the financing has been decided, with Scorsese set to start shooting in January following the release of his upcoming passion project, Silence.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona may well be the only Woody Allen film I don't find insufferable.
The Help was pleasant if unspectacular.
Tried watching Adaption and just can't take Cage's role seriously. Maybe because he's a sold out mess now.
Its like he grew a beard and then someone hastily airbrushed it out.

Feels like he's been trying to make that film with those 4 for about a decade or so now.
Surely it can't disappoint.
10 Cloverfield Lane is very good until it suddenly and emphatically isn't. I haven't seen a film collapse like that since The Village.
High Fidelity was fucking awesome, by the way. One of my favourites of recent times. That and the Station Agent.
How long does it take for that to happen?
The Village did it about halfway through, didn't it?
So, weirdly, the twist everyone hated is about the only thing I liked in The Village.
I told the film, out loud, to fuck off at the point of that twist. It was as though someone had been told about the big moment in Sixth Sense and tried to pull off the same stunt without ever actually watching the film.
Having read about the originally scripted ending of 10 Cloverfield Lane it's actually annoyed me more in retrospect, despite the collapse not being anywhere near as total as that in The Village, because the change is completely unnecessary.
Must be the tenth time or so of watching The Commitments tonight. Kinda gutted I missed the stage show and I fucking hate musicals, such is the quality of that movie. It's a shade off Blues Brothers, but only just.
I liked the twist too and have never really understood why so many people felt it almost wasted the time they'd invested for some reason.
For me a good twist either recontextualises what came before or uses the expectations created by it to zig when it's supposed to zag. The Village actively and fundamentally changes the story in a way that renders most of what's been seen up until that point irrelevant.
Funny Games is on sky arts. Get on it.
I watched Deadpool on Sunday. I really enjoyed it.
X-Men: Apocalypse is really good.
You're the first one I've heard say that. But like fuck am I going to another superhero movie.
The Jungle Book is class. Luca isn't remotely irritating, and, I know I always stick up for computer effects, but it was definitely better for having actually trained all the animals to speak and that.

Loving Clerks so far.
Someone recommend me an action film.
They don't make enough good ones these days.
The thought of Boyd sitting there in his skinny jeans pretending to be interested in an ACTION film on his 19" Argos telly so he can join in with THE LADS when they recite Top Gun quotes amuses me.
If you want something in recent years it's hard to beat any of the Mission Impossibles.
Cell 211.
I love dumb action films.
They're my go to comfort blanket when I'm sick and/or hungover.
Oh yeah, that latest one is meant to be good, isn't it?
Seen it.
Before Sunrise trilogy.
Casino Royale.
Captain America Civil War was bloody brilliant. Any of the XMens?
Lost in translation.
The Man From Nowhere. DS will back me up on that.
I don't really like Asian cinema and I'm in no mood to be watching anything subtitled anyway.
