We watched 'I see you' . Pretty good thriller actually with a decent plot twist. Worth the watch.

I’ll always quite like him, being a local and all, but the Brosnan Bond films have aged very badly.
Brosnan is a very good Bond in some very, very bad films.
I still love Goldeneye though.
I loved Tomorrow Never Dies. Probably just because it was the Bond that was out when I was a certain age, rather than it actually being any good. Also, I was a PlayStation man and the (far inferior) game of that was on PS1 whereas the Goldeneye game was on N64.
Jonathan Pryce does don anything he's in, though.
I think they all have good things about them, even that first 15 minutes or so of Die Another Day is actually pretty good, but Goldeneye is the bestest.
I like the line in The World Is Not Enough when whatserface says something about Bond not offing her because he'd miss her.
"I never miss." *bang*
'Ave it.
Is tomorrow never dies the one where the bad guy is basically Rupert Murdoch? That’s my worst of the whole lot if so, though The World is not Enough was wooden enough last night to be close enough too. The fucking accent on Carlisle as well (were there no Eastern European actors back then that they needed Coltrane and Goldie too?)
I do like Goldeneye though.
That said, the talent levels in The World... are top notch. Richards had fabulous tits.
TND was just packed full of amazing dialogue and pure script magic such as this:
Elliot Carver: Don't you realise how absurd your position is?!
James Bond: No more absurd than starting a war for ratings!
Carver: Great men have always manipulated the media to save the world. Look at William Randolph Hearst, who told his photographers "You provide the pictures, I'll provide the war". I've just taken it one step further.
Bond: [kills a henchman sneaking up on him] Sorry, I tuned out for a moment, Elliot.
Carver: Touché.
That Eurovision film is really fucking weird but Rachel McAdams is still adorable.
I liked it but see why people don't.
Read a theory today that Kubrick made Eyes Wide Shut as a subtle exposé of the elite debauchery rings that are all being brought up now (Epstein) but he died before it released so was heavily edited. Might rewatch.
Yeah that's from the same source as moon landings were staged and shot by him, Bill Gates is evil and the Earth is hollow.
Billionaires are inherently evil though.
Watched Zombeavers on Netflix, not even a B movie, a C movie so shit it's actually alright.
Its well known Peele shit the original ending. It was far too on the nose so they went with that cop out.
Edit: fucking hell there was another page. This post is about Get Out.
Two Days, One Night is on iPlayer
Same as the studio execs shitting the bed on the World War Z ending.
IT Chapter 2: honestly felt more like a fucking Harry Potter film half the time. Shockingly shit.
Watched robocop for the first time. First 40 minutes or so are great. Everything post him breaking into OCP and finding his killers is ass.
Villa > Bambi
Straight Outta Compton's pretty good. Shame they didn't include a scene where Dre tries to boot Dee Barnes down a flight of stairs, though. And I could've done without the Hollywood reunion shit they pull as soon as Eazy gets AIDS.
It's a fantastic movie. Cube recording No Vaseline is so hype.
I loved that shit. If the rest of the film was them throwing diss tacks at each other, I'd have been very happy. Jerry being the most offended was the best part.

It’s been ages since I watched Superbad so I’ve just put it in.

So funny

The police stuff doesn't hold up but the rest of it is still ace.
Yeah I’d probably agree with this, but I guess they had to do something with McLovin while Jonah Hill and Michael Cera were busy being the one of the funniest duos ever.
It’s basically a showcase for how funny Jonah Hill can be for the majority but goddamn, Cera cracks me up too.

I watched Mission Impossible: Fallout. It's one of the less good ones. I don't expect much from my guns and explosions but it was a bit dull and they seem to now be obsessed with each film's Tom Cruise Stunt and the helicopter thing here was really dull.
Important film news:
Could they not have done that?
Hadn't watched a film in ages but I, Tonya was on telly the other night and was decent.
Watched mulan for the first time today.
Pretty standard Disney fair. Middle of the pack, probably.
Yeah it's good but it's not a favourite. I'll give the remake one a bash on Disney+ when it comes out.
Those live-action ones have been really hit and miss though.
Some anti CCP / Pro Hong Kong boycotting going on with the lead actress a Chinese fully fledged backer of the street violence. (MULAN)
What a crock of shite Tenet is, geezer really needs to broaden his horizons.
Did you find the background music & sound was so loud at times that you couldn't actually hear the dialogue? Had that a few times which pretty much just pissed me off for half the movie, but maybe I'm just deaf.
It was okay, but definitely not a classic, although maybe the extra dialogue I couldn't make out contained huge extra details that would've made it more than a 6 or 7 out of 10.
Absolutely. I like watching with subtitles usually anyway but this was actually in need of them.
That's reassuring
Nolan's sound-mixing has been garbage forever, it has to be intentional.
I watched Warwick Davis's magnum opus of Leprechaun films (including 'In Space' & 'In the Hood') in a single sitting the other day, thanks to Amazon Prime, and it was hard to reconcile the day time tv quiz host with a murderous fiend rhyming about tapping ass. Still would recommend if you enjoy horror films that are more comedy than horror.
Leprechaun In The Hood is one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I used to drunkenly watch a lot of crap horror films post-pub.
Dunno if I ever saw In Space though.
The new Bill and Ted isn’t great.
Surely that's not a surprise?
Was not exposed to them at all previously (and not sure how badly that damages my citizenship/assimiliation credentials) but the trailer was one hell of a monstrosity.
The other trailers were for James Bond, Wonder Woman and Black Widow though so safe to say it was just a continuation of the death of cinema rather than something noteworthy.
I have watched / rewatched some Jurassic Park films over the last week or so.
Jurassic World 2 - A load of absolute shite. The trope-iest nonsense imaginable and the dinosaur bits aren't even fun.
Jurassic Park - Still holds up. The mix of practical and CGI effects is what saves it I think. Enjoyed it a lot though Ian Malcolm, glorious though Goldblum is, is a really weird choice to be the protagonist of Jurassic Park 2 when you look back at it. Did Sam Neill () just not want to come back?
Jurassic Park 2 - I really enjoyed this. Pete Postlethwaite was a don and I think it's a genuinely decent film until the nonsense in the city at the end and the unseen boat slaughter that makes zero sense, presumably due to cut scenes.
I watched Joker. Good film.
