That looks fun.
Director's cut.
That looks fun.
Cheers, took longer than I thought for you to turn up, was almost disappointed.
Yay! One of the rare situations where very little's been changed for comedic effect, probably.
The book that it is based on is batshit insane. I hope they show a lot of the stuff other than the filming of the movie. Tommy and Gregs adventures together need to be on screen.
Has anybody watched a film at a cinema in 4DX? I've always assumed it was a bit gimmicky - but im hearing good things about it all of a sudden...
I always get concerned when I see UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM for something like Dunkirk and then a couple of reviewers who I respect a lot say it really isn't that good...
Watched the "Siege of Jadotville" on Netflix last night. Basically Zulu but with Irish UN peacekeepers replacing the red coated British soldiers, an outpost in 1960s Congo instead of Rorkes Drift and a dash of politics.
Enjoyed it and would recommend a watch if you want an easy to sit back war film.
Surprisingly enjoyed Logan very much last night. Hadn't seen any press or reviews of it before I went in.
I know of 4 people who have seen a film in 4DX.
Three of them said they'd never go again, the one who loved it is only 8.
I watched Lion today and christ, it's one of the most emotional films I've ever seen.
Little surprised that it picked up nothing at the Oscars but it was a tough year.
Also, Kermode's 10-6 from the first half of the year is:
10: Wonder Woman
9: Prevenge (which looks weird as shit)
8: Get Out
7: Baby Driver
6: My Life as a Courgette.
I've seen none yet.
Is Wonder Woman actually good then? It's strange to hear any critic recommend a big release film, normally they go foreign, small time, or 5 decades old in a bid to try keep themselves relevant.
Yeah, I was expecting another Batman v Superman flub but it's getting good reviews.
Finally watched Kingsman tonight
I absolutely loved it.
Can't wait to see the sequel.
I have, and I loved it. It maybe is a bit gimmicky but I don't care.
I'm seeing Dunkirk in 4DX on Tuesday, which will be my second time after Guardians 2.
How would at least half of that be anything other than rubbish?4DX allows a motion picture presentation to be augmented with environmental effects such as seat motion, wind, rain, fog, lights, and scents along with the standard video and audio.
The cynic in me suspects it'll be getting an easier ride for the obvious reason, as (while I haven't seen it) I can't imagine it will be anything other than bang average at absolute best.
Having seen it, would there have been a worse machine to be stuck on during the war for the sake of your mental state?
I've been on HMS Alliance (out of Transformers) at the submarine museum, which was started during 1945, and that was pretty shitty just standing there hearing some bloke talking about it. Bobbing about or being under the sea with a seventy-five per cent chance of not coming back up must have been about as horrendous as it gets.
Really enjoyed Jawbone. Solid lead, Winstone doing Winstone, Smiley on form. Good lower budget boxing film.

It takes a while to get motoring, but Dunkirk is the best film Christopher Nolan (who definitely voted Brexit if he had a vote) has made.
I can't stand war films normally, especially world war 2, but I might give that a watch as I've yet to see a bad word about it. Is it unnecessarily gory?
It's probably the least bloody war film ever.
Less bloody that Pearl fucking Harbour?
I can't remember much of that, but this has barely any blood in it.
Wonder Woman was the epitome of average. Surprised it is so well liked.
Dunkirk was reet good.
I watched it in Imax too which added to the EXPERIENCE. I actually jumped a couple of times because the gunshots sounded on point, the vibration felt when spitfires were flying past was also intense.
I didn't even mind Harry 'I'm a celebrity, mate' Styles.

It was also the first film I've seen that some people clapped after it ended.
Movie was fucking awesome even though I spent the first half of it going "Wait, isn't that the kid from One Direction?"

Anyhow, like 'how said it was very, very intense. Friend of mine said she almost felt like she needed to take a xanax beforehand lol.
The only time I've been in a cinema and people have applauded the film was Beerfest. It was in the US, so may have been genuine enthusiasm rather than irony.
Those fuckers clap anything. I'd a group applaud a plane landing the other day. It's fucking supposed to.

Thanks for taking the time, fellas. That makes a lot more sense.
I thought Dunkirk was good but ultimately didn't live up to the hype. Glad I saw it but I'm in no rush to see it again.
I am definitely going to see Dunny in IMAX, the question is do I go to an inferior screen 30 minutes away, or a far superior one 1hr 30 mins away.
Oh lol £16 a ticket.
My ticket was £4.25.
I saw Kiki's Delivery Service at a special screening in a huge cineplex, and it was delightful. It made me want to watch all the Studio Ghibli films again.

Food thread banter, mate. You can still participate even though you'll never be able to enjoy a majestic Instant Pot.
So, I think Dunkirk is a good thriller, but it's not a masterpiece and it's by no means Nolans best film.
I can tell why Lewis likes it. Like most of Nolans films, it's got a vaguely right-wing bent to it, in this case in the service of British nationalism. We'll fight them on the beaches. Green and pleasant land. Cups of tea. Spitfire's are awesome. None of which is really out of place of course, although its timing being aligned with Brexit is ironic.
Watched the Hollywood version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night. Pretty decent.
I enjoyed this myself. I was disappointed they didn't carry on with the trilogy.
I'd agree with that.
I don't think I've ever heard anything in a cinema quite as loud as the Stuka's diving.

Sunset Song, which I just watched, is also very good. And it didn't make $100 million inside its first week.
Had to read that book for higher English. Farmer girls don't do it for me.
Foxcatcher is on TV tonight. What's exactly is it? The and makes it look serious but the rubbish makeup on the leads make it look like a spoof.
Anyway, worth seeing?
The performances are great, but it's ultimately a bit dull.
