Watched "Gravity" last night. I really don't get why this was so raved about. It was a halfway decent visual spectacle, but honest to god every 5 minutes or so either my wife or I were compelled to say "Sandra Bullock.... IN SPAAAAAAAACE", as it was just so ridiculously that.

Also slightly odd for her to convert from "I'm sick just standing still" to
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
"I can use a fire extinguisher to jet around space".
Daft.

Highlight - Mrs K: "That's just gratuitous semi-nuddy Sandra Bullock". Me: "There's no such thing as gratuitous semi-nuddy Sandra Bullock". Maybe that was the philosophy for the whole film.

I'm genuinely curious how a film that's entirely about an astronaut in space manages to cram in a scene where the lead actress gets semi-nude. Seriously, what the fuck?

(a) Patriarchy or (b) that astro-people are actually in real life in their kecks under the space suits.

On this occasion I'm going with (b).

Last night I watched Bullet with Danny Someone and Dan go shoots first. I was well drunk so no idea about either.

Heat was dull, Anchorman isn't funny, and not heard of 12.01, so can't be any good. So far I win.

He dies after a few minutes though, doesn't he? And has like one line or something.

Also, that's not a good film. OK, but not good.

I saw Lucy last night.

I would advise that you do not go and see Lucy.

Not only is the premise bollocks and predicated on an urban myth but the execution of the concept is like a B movie version of one of the shitter Matrix movies.

Oh and at the beginning there's some of the most hamfisted "LOOK AT THIS IMAGERY. HERE. LOOK AT IT" which is then dropped because Luc Besson seems to have realised it's fucking stupid.

Oh and the dialogue is so bad not even Morgan Freeman can deliver it with any conviction.

I went to see it with a mate that I owed a favour because I'd seen Guardians of the Galaxy with someone else. He now owes me a gold Rolls Royce.

I saw Before I Go To Sleep this week. It wasn't very good. Unless you like to watch Nicole Kidman snivel and whimper for 90 minutes. Also features Nicole Kidman recording herself on a camera that is turned off.

Then I saw Million Dollar Arm which was cheesy and obvious (and based on a true story!). It was satisfying but maybe could be accused of casual racism and white saviourism. Still I think it didn't mean any harm and was just a bit of fluff really.

Really bugged me that (unless I missed it) they never said what would happen if he didn't die. What if he simply went and hid somewhere safe for a few days?

I don't think Tom Cruise was awful in it, but probably would have enjoyed it more with someone else in his role.

The whole setup and structure of it wasn't all that interesting tbh.

I think this kind of story where it is repeating the same actions over and over again work a bit better in a small confined location, be it a small town gripped by a blizzard, or a train bound for explosion. The possibility space of "A huge battle across Europe" has a bit too much scope for "Wait why didn't he try one of the many alternatives available to him?".

I thought they did - he would keep the ability to reset the day, but the day he can reset is only the one he's in - so if he hid until the next day the entire human invasion force would have be wiped out on the beaches and he wouldn't be able to undo it.

Ah. Possible I missed that detail.

Edit:
Spoiler territory:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
so how come when breaking into Whitehall, or indeed doing anything where he was at risk of getting captured, did he not take a grenade or a cyanide pill, or something?

Also: When trying to get to Germany, why take part in the France landing at all? Why not commandeer any other vehicle and just go straight there?

Watched Only God Forgives at the weekend. It's very slow moving and, as such, the story's pretty lightweight but it's incredibly pretty with the lighting and angles of every shot obviously having been much considered. Also, I was about halfway through before I even realised it was Kristin Scott Thomas playing the mental crime family matriarch so that was an amusing surprise. Although technically nothing like Drive it shares a subdued atmosphere with it in parts so perhaps that'll inform whether you fancy it or not. Recommended if you're in the mood for something moodily gorgeous with bursts of violence.

That's a depressing comment on the franchise if it's true.

That's a depressing comment on the franchise if it's true.

The first and second were pretty watchable. The third was okayish, but wouldn't have paid for it. By the time they hit the 3d-a-rama of the fourth and subsequent ones, they were pish.
