It's a great film - I think I've watched it 4 or 5 times now. It really needs a sequel.

I feel you've not seen
Ash vs Evil Dead
Banshee
Game of Thrones
Hemlock Grove
Sons of Anarchy
Vikings
If you think TV can't be violent.

It was a bit like a violent Twighlight.

So no.

Not sure if serious, but then you are Mr Chris, so https://moviepilot.com/p/dredd-2-sequel ... ow/4205564

I know which word you were aiming for there...

Yes, Dredd was good. I quite like Karl Urban.

Went to see The Lego Batman Movie yesterday. It appeared to be aimed directly at me rather than the 10 year old accompanying me with it being both Lego and Batman and then containing a load of eighties references and nods to just about every bit of nerd culture going.

It was almost too much in that it's very busy and comes at you at a relentless pace. Clearly designed with repeat views in mind the sensory assault on the first viewing does make you feel like you're missing stuff but the gags and references you do get are all extremely well crafted. There's even a Pulp Fiction reference in there so it's clearly working on two levels.

I now want a "Harvard FOR POLICE" T-Shirt.

All of

The 10 year old and 8.5 year old both enjoyed it though.

I am glad i did not re-watch the original before seeing it, as it could have spoiled the journey.

How come?

Watched The Big Short last night.

It's great, it just keeps on getting more and more totally batshit.

Watched The Big Short last night. I thought it did a tremendous job of explaining a complicated subject in an easy to digest manner, and Steve Carell's performance was outstanding - I've never seen him in a "straight man" role before. Christian Bale was alright I guess, but I was getting some serious Patrick Bateman vibes from his character.

Collatoralized Debt Obligation

Read the book of the same title by Michael Lewis. He's a former broker who has been writing very successfully for a couple of decades now. Makes the whole Collatoralized Debt Obligation very understandable and the book reads like a thriller.

I might give it another go.

I think you have to sort of let it wash over you.

It is very good, and whoever did the editing is a stone-cold genius..

Amusing fan theory I heard:

Bill and Ted and the princesses were travelling the time streams in the phone booth when they were attacked by bad mens. Bill and the princesses were killed, and the phone booth was destroyed. In the process of the booth going kerblammo, the time stream fractured, and we now have a multiverse full of differed Ted Logans, all very sad and very angry that their best friend and girlfriend are dead.

John Wick, John Constantine, Neo, and Jack Travern are all Ted.

Because the Missus wants to see the new Resident Evil film in the cinema, we've been watching all the old ones ( because obviously otherwise we wouldn't be able to make sense of the plot ). I honestly can;t work out if they're great or dreadful, but to be honest I'm not really sure it matters. Zombies! Guns! Backflips! Explosions! Wentworth Miller! People who have been living in a besieged prison for 18 months yet are clean shaven and wear spotless and perfect clothes! Mutant Dogs getting their heads kicked off! They know what they're aiming for and they get it pretty much spot on. If only they scored higher on the Craster scale.

And also, let's not forget, Keanu fucking Reeves: https://twitter.com/balvinsanity/status ... 6869879808

dat reload 24 second in, tho

A friend of mine loves them all so I thought I'd give them a try last year. They're so all over the place, I forget how many films there are and in which order they're in. The first one was ok, but the rest are just unmemorable.

Totally - you could chop up all the films and stick parts back together at random and the end result would be as coherent as any of the sequels.

Regular action movie stars go through so much weapons training over the course of ten movies that they become pretty proficient at it.

There's a scene from Collateral where Tom Cruise shoots two guys in the street, and his technique is so spot on that they allegedly use it in tactical handgun training.

There's a small amount of InfoSec Twitter that crosses over into Gun Twitter and the latter is amazed by John Wick. Apparently Reeves's one handed press check when dual-wielding is outlandish.
