The Last Film watched (CONTAINS STAR WARS SPOILERS!!)

by President Trump Tue 10 Nov 2015, 10:23 am

First topic message reminder :

I watch two films over the last few days

Seventh Son: Absolute tosh, it felt like a bad D&D film from SyFy

The Wedding Ringer: It was a fun movie, predictable but fun, "Who the hell are these guys, it's like the Goonies grew up and became r@pists" Laugh

I know.. that's why I rate it so highly.

There was a good movie on last night about a Bum and his pals who get involved in all kinds of hassles simply because of an identity mix-up. Forget the name of it but you guys should check it out if you get a chance

by Rowley Sun 08 May 2016, 12:24 pm

All sounds a bit far fetched for my tastes fly.

I think this is the film you meant.

Hobo with a shotgun, jesus what a shockingly bad film that is.

I have banned people for less.

On a scale of 1 to Awesome its off the chart.

It's a film to watch when you're smashed, not one for the purists shall we say Laugh

by SecretFly Sun 08 May 2016, 1:40 pm

No purist should ever have seen a shockingly bad movie Wink

Some bad movies are actually perfect movies, falling easily into the classic So-Bad-It's-Brilliant category.

But other dross..... we should never know guys; we just should never know how bad they were..... Wink

by **Galted** Sun 08 May 2016, 5:02 pm

Watched The Jungle Book last night - not really sure how good it was as it's the first film I've seen in 3D and I was completely mesmerized (for any Men of the North reading this, 3D is probably coming your way one of these years, it's a kind of magic when you wear dark spectacles at the picture show and it looks like you're inside with all the characters).

Hobo With A Shotgun was one of those Sharknado types that set out to be a cult hit with nothing up its sleeve - tries the so-bad-it's-good route but turned out to be more of a so-bad-it's-boring rip-off.

by Rowley Sun 08 May 2016, 6:45 pm

Hobo with a shotgun is w&nk. It has not even got John Goodman in it.

by Adam D Mon 09 May 2016, 10:11 am

CHUD has John Goodman in it.

by Guest Mon 09 May 2016, 12:55 pm

During the time Tarantino and Rodriguez were doing the Grindhouse thing, they made spoof trailers for upcoming features. There was "Hobo with a Shotgun" and "Machete" They were so convincing that fans wanted to see these films so they made both. Personally I think Machete is great (Machete 2 is dire even though it does have Sofia Vergara firing bullets out of her bra) but "Hobo... is so bad it's untrue.

None of them are as good as "The Big Lebowski" though...which is tremendous

by SecretFly Mon 09 May 2016, 12:58 pm

Dear God.............. what I could have done with such wasted money.

Let's all here write a script and get it produced on a crowd fund deal!

by Guest Mon 09 May 2016, 1:13 pm

It could star Adam (Alfred? Arnold?Amy?) we could call it "The Man who wasn't There"

by SecretFly Mon 09 May 2016, 1:19 pm

Three Guys, a Rabbit, Sixteen Virgins and the Devil

Get your dialogue around that one, Tarantino!

by SecretFly Mon 09 May 2016, 1:20 pm

..I actually have that story half written in my head now already. It's amazing how quickly weird titles become viable projects.

If you like The Big Lebowski you should try Barton Fink. It's a bit like The Big Lebowski in that it features John Goodman, John Turturro and Steve Buscemi but it's much, much better.

Having seen it I'd have to disagree. Far too slow for my liking and, more importantly, not nearly as good as The Big Lebowski

No, SerialDAVE. I very much think that if you were to reflect on what you've said you would find that you're quite, quite wrong.

This is no snap judgment I've made so you can rein in your calls for reassessing my decision. Have watched most of the Coen bros films barring Ladykillers and Serious Man and STILL feel Big Lebowski tops the lot.

Whether combining your response with mine is a michaels-up or a tactic I don't know, but it has derailed my argument. We'll call this one a stalemate, but don't think I'll forget this. And don't think I'm going to keep quiet about it the next time I find you digging a hole on a moor or dropping a suitcase into a canal, even if I'm not the one in the suitcase.

by Adam D Sat 14 May 2016, 12:47 pm

Watched special correspondents on Netflix.

Story about Eric nana and Ricky gervais who miss their flights to Ecuador to cover a war and decide to fake being there from across the road of their radio station. Gervais plays David Brent for the whole film but despite that, it's pretty good.

by Guest Sat 14 May 2016, 10:20 pm

Batman v Superman.... goes on for ages... it's too f*cking dark most of the time and the level of destruction makes Batman's complaint about the amount of damage caused by Superman last time seem misguided. Anyway it's not as good as The Big Lebowski

Oooohh, I don't know about that, SerialDAVE.
Batman v Superman may not have been one of the Coen brothers' finest moments, but the performances by John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman and the cameo by John Hetfield carried it past The Big Lebowski. Just.

by Guest Mon 16 May 2016, 10:46 am

You want dark, stick to Barton Fink, you want slow, stick to Barton Fink, you want not as good as The Big Lewbowski...you get the idea, Galted!

by **superflyweight** Mon 16 May 2016, 1:08 pm

Watched Room on Saturday night. It's very good, but bloody hell it's a tough watch and it doesn't help that the little boy is the same age as my daughter.

Not been that emotionally drained after a film since I watched The Road.

by Guest Mon 16 May 2016, 1:56 pm

Bought "The Road" on Blu ray at the weekend. Seen it before but told me wife she'd enjoy it. Super, MONO are coming back on tour in Oct/Nov with Alcest

by **superflyweight** Mon 16 May 2016, 2:23 pm

Interesting - I may actually look out for tickets for that. Got a mate in Leeds who loves MONO so he'll be up for it.

by Guest Mon 16 May 2016, 2:36 pm

It's at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds which a colleague tells me is a good venue. Got my tickets already so be aware (CC rules apply)

Hmm I go the Bru as well DAVE, you will love the place if you have not been already.

It is basically a working men's club, with all the perks that come with that, cheap beer, snooker, few bell ends, etc...

But have shed loads of really good bands, both famous, and local...

by Guest Mon 16 May 2016, 2:58 pm

Sadly I'll not be drinking Rick but I've heard good things about it (acoustics etc) which should make the MONO gig a joy

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 16 May 2016, 2:59 pm

Yeah the guys who runs it, is a big music(y) person and every effort has been made to turn it into a great intimate gig place, you will have a blast.

by Rowley Mon 16 May 2016, 4:15 pm

I can't make it. Don't let that ruin your evening.

by Mr Bounce Mon 16 May 2016, 10:44 pm

Went to see Our Kind of Traitor tonight. It's good, but a bit lacking in intrigue and doesn't have much in the way of twists. Damian Lewis is excellent as the Spook in charge and Stellan Skarsgard is fantastic as the Russian mafia "accountant" looking for safe passage of his family out of Russia. Ewen MacGregor kind of phones in his performance and it's difficult to see Naomie "Moneypenny" Harris as a non-spy in a spy thriller.

Still, it's fairly well put together and an enjoyable watch. 7/10

by Atila Tue 17 May 2016, 5:41 am

Captain America-Civil War

Not too bad. I don't want to give away any of the plot but it will be interesting to see how they all team up for the next Avengers film.

I hadn't considered it until you brought the subject up, but now I think I'll be ok. It'll be the aural equivalent of a Radox bath

by **superflyweight** Tue 17 May 2016, 12:35 pm

On the basis of stuff that I know Jeff likes, I think he would like MONO.

I'd start with Hymn to the Immortal Wind - very much the aural equivalent of a lovely Radox bath.

by Guest Tue 17 May 2016, 12:38 pm

My favourite is "Legend" from "For My Parents"

Personally, I think Jeff would hate MONO on the basis that you and I like them cos he's a f*cking snob

Who will save us now if Putin decides to let the world know what he thinks of the new Eurovision voting system????

by **superflyweight** Tue 17 May 2016, 12:58 pm

I'd go with Follow the Map or Everlasting Light from Hymn....

MONO tick all the music snob boxes though. Japanese, post rock, instrumental, obscure - what more could any discerning music fan want?

Yeah, f*ck off everyone. Don't even think about gatecrashing the gig and mess up the ignoring each other's existence vibe that Dave and I will have going on.

by Adam D Sun 22 May 2016, 11:20 am

Watched Trainwreck last night which was bearable. How's that for a review.

Also watched kings man again on Friday which is still awesome and my face film of the last decade

by Guest Sun 22 May 2016, 11:39 am

Face film? What the Wtf?!

by Adam D Sun 22 May 2016, 12:18 pm

It's what all the cool kids say.
