I'm looking forward to Ant Man. I see no problems with that major character that everyone loves and respects.

Well it WAS going to be awesome, before Edgar Wright pulled out.

I think I've got pretty much completely bored of superhero films now. I used to be able to watch them and be mostly reasonably entertained for the duration but now I just find my mind wandering and frequently will just fall asleep. Just don't care what happens. All the endless back story stuff, the prequels, the cameos it's just a massive load of bollocks and a cheap way to add depth to characters which doesn't really work and isn't necessary in decent films.

I watched Gone Girl on Sunday. It was very enjoyable, but I can't really work out if it was good or not, due to reading the book the week before and it being 99% the same. I can't work out in my head if it is good because the book is good, or if it actually stands up on its own as a film.

I don't think there's a single word of truth in anything you've said there. As far as the film rendition of the characters goes the backstory not only isn't endless but it genuinely can't afford to be because people who've never read a single comic need to be able to watch and understand it; which they obviously do. I'm not sure where you're seeing a massive proliferation of prequels as only the X-Men franchise has gone in for that at all to my mind. And worrying about cameos is a nonsense argument because they literally are only cameos. You can happily watch any Marvel movie with no idea at all of who Stan Lee is and you lose nothing at all. Conversely it's a nice wee nod for the fans that gives them an extra smile; there's just no reasonable argument against it at all.

It's like you've decided what you want to think, then muddled up the comics and movies in your mind while throwing in some baseless stuff just to arrive at a justification.

I've never read the book and knew nothing about it going in and I fucking loved the film.

I really haven't. I don't have the time or the inclination to watch films I think are going to be rubbish just so I can tell myself I was right. Every time I have watched another of these charmless Marvel or DC shitfests it has been because I have believed what someone has said that it'll be entertaining and engaging but I've just been bored (Avengers Assemble was ok though). It's all just so fucking bland and humdrum and nothing that happens ever feels like it matters. The only thing that is any good in some of them is the CGI and effects work and the very occasional joke that raises a smile. And they do increasingly reference other films from their own universe as a way to lend gravitas to scenes or more depth to the characters and it just irritates me. Really good films manage to do all that stuff with completely new characters in under two hours. I just can't see them all as proper films in their own right.

It's all my own fault for continually watching them, though.

Fans of Drive might be interested to know that it's on TV on the 30th October, with an entirely new score.

Quote:
BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe is leading a project by the radio station to rescore the 2011 film Drive with tracks from artists such as CHVRCHES, SBTRKT and Eric Prydz. Lowe's ambitious project to curate an entirely new soundtrack for Nicolas Winding Refn's crime drama has received the backing from the director himself. The original score, which was revered for its pulsing retro-synth sounds and acute attention to tone and mood, featured tracks from Kavinsky, Chromatics and Desire.

There will not be a track as good as Nightcall or (in particular) Real Hero.

"There will not be a track as good as Nightcall or (in particular) Real Hero."

I'm a big fan of Drive the film & the soundtrack.
I'm also a fan of Greek synth-pop band Marsheaux.

In my opinion, this would make a great substitute for "Real Hero".
Same mood, tone & atmosphere. Would fit on the soundtrack perfectly :

What's the point of giving a new score to a film that already has a great soundtrack. Why not do it to a film with a shitty score?

Potential boo to re-sound tracking drive, although that seems to risk snobbery. I agree with the above, their efforts would have been better spent elsewhere.

I watched a Million Ways to Die in the West.

Christ, it's just awful, isn't it? Isn't it? Brian from Family Guy may be a funny writer (well, actually, I'd disagree with myself right here but for the sake of this paragraph I'll assume he's written some funny lines) but he's just a terrible actor. There's something about him that's unlikeable; something about his face that's not right, and something about his overall screen presence that does not make him a star. At all. I've got a feeling that he's got a massive ego too which is why he was unable to give him his role to someone who might have done a much better job.

And, really, there's a shitting gag?

And a penis gag.

And a gag where a sheep does a wee on him.

I'm sure he thought this would be all very clever but it's awful. Man alive...

Oh man... We tried watching this on Sunday afternoon. I knew very little about it, other than Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron were in it and it was a comedy. It was horrendous, the worst movie I have ever attempted to sit through. It was in exactly the right humour for a 10-15 year old; the "jokes" were shockingly awful and I switched it off after the particularly laboured asshole "joke" near the beginning.

It's not in any way subtle or clever, all of the moments that you're apparently supposed to find funny can be seen from space. Perhaps it's my fault for watching it and expecting anything other than the shit Seth MacFarlane peddles as comedy. I thought Ted was bad but this... This is in a whole other league of cringe inducing awfulness.

I really cannot adequately describe how awful it was - there were a couple of physical comedy moments that raise a slight 'heh' and I found the horses name quite funny but unless you think Seth McFarlane is some kind of God, or you're 11: Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I agree about him being unlikeable, he looks a bit like a baby doll I think, which is fine because not everyone is movie-star handsome but he looks odd in a 'I can't quite put my finger on it' distracting way. And he's definitely a terrible actor.

The kids whinged when I turned it off, so I sent it to one of their xboxes so that could watch it upstairs. They thought it was hilarious. But they love Sacha Baron Cohen movies and Family Guy etc. so it was definitely their kind of level. We put Godzilla (2014) on. Which looked Oscar-worthy in comparison.

He looks like Joey Tribbiani's fat older brother.

Also, he does the same voice for everything and it winds me up.

Also, he dodged death on 9/11 and The Reaper from Final Destination is really slack.

8)

You know he does the voice for Peter, Brian, Stewie, Quagmire and Tom Tucker in Family Guy and Stan and Roger in American Dad, right?

[edit] Added a few names. He does loads of different characters.

Family Guy is excellent in the main, usually when it's being very clever. Family Guy 2: the American Daddening, not so much. Family Guy 3: The Enclevelanding, even less so. I didn't watch Ted because I'm not a fan of puerile humour (it's something to do when you're with your friends, not make a movie out of), and this sounds like it's the same.

So I've just come out of the cinema where I watched The Book Of Life with the Grimlet, and I was totally blown away.

I'm not sure how good it is for kids (although the Grimlet seemed to approve) because it's basically a love story crossed with "this is what death is". And there's a pig.

Although the themes are really quite dark, it's never scary or threatening (although the bandits and some of the bullfights may scare younger kids), and it looks amazing (especially when they go to the Land of the Remembered). And the songs are great (I particularly liked Creep).

And it's got Ron fucking Perlman in it.

The whole thing was beautiful, in every way.

I saw the trailer for it a while back, and while the story looked potentially dull, the animation/cinematography was incredible.

If the story et al is actually better than the trailer suggested then I am interested!

Watched THE BABADOOK last night.

Very good Australian horror / thriller film that gets by very well on atmosphere, great acting from the two main characters (a mother & son) and a general sense of dread & unease.
It's far from original but it's quite unlike most modern American horror films that rely on cheap jump-scares & blatant music / soundtrack cues.

It currently has a 96% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a bit over the top IMO but it's definately a very solid film. 8/10.

Edit : I forgot that the 96% is simply the percentage of reviewers who thought it was "good" rather than "bad". The average score from all reviewers is 8/10 so basically, what I said......

I too went to see this on Saturday, with Mrs Fop and Findus the Younger.

The Younger loved it. I thought it was decent. Looks incredible, without a doubt. But I found there was something pretty charmless and vacant about the protagonists. I should have warmed to the guitar-twiddling hero, yet found his lantern jaw and relentless moping a pain in the chimichanga. And his anti-hero pal was not obnoxious enough for me to feel strongly about either.

Supporting cast was largely excellent, mental and out-there, aside from the child-pricks at the beginning, who are kickable without exception.

But the fights were badass (arguably more bad ass than my 3 year old needed them to be), the music pleasingly recognisable, though it did mean accidental Mumford & Sons consumption, and the Day of the Dead setting was actually enlightening. Quite a rewarding perspective of death, it feels like.

And it got rather dusty in there at the end. But then I am prone to bouts of sobbing.

Get in line, ladies.

I guess I was just hoping for Pixar-levels of character to complement the wonderous setting and aesthetic.

It still hit the right notes to make me sniffle. Something Chico also managed when he first performed Chico Time on X-Factor. I think I was at a low ebb then.

Yeah, bit disappointed with that, but hopefully they do something sufficiently different with enough different toys to make it worthwhile. They've earned at least a little slack via the quality of the past ones.

Yeah, bit disappointed with that, but hopefully they do something sufficiently different with enough different toys to make it worthwhile. They've earned at least a little slack via the quality of the past ones.

Yeah, it's a near-perfect trilogy. Mixed feelings but I guess it was inevitable.

The Toy Story Toons series have been most enjoyable. Partysaurus Rex is dynamite

Saw Interstellar last night. I loved it. Even though the cinema I went to (Screen on the Green, Islington) is shit both visually and aurally, I found the 3 hour running time tripped by unnoticed. I would recommend seeing it on the best screen you can. It isn't flawless and it certainly isn't a space western, so don't go expecting one. It could legitimately be accused of being a little too metaphysical, but I think it works by and large and you can debate the meaning endlessly afterward if you so desire.

Im going to see Interstellar today
Dont get my wrong I love cinema and IMAX and all that but at over £30 for me and the lady to see it on IMAX and no good seats, we are opting for a standard 2D affair at half the price.

If it really is outstanding, itll still be playing on IMAX in a few weeks time...

In other news, I saw NightCrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal and can thoroughly recommend it, based if nothing else on his absolutely incredible performance.
Helps that the movie itself was good, too.
