Last Jedi trailer

FUCKING LOGAN FUCKING FUCK.

Jesus H Christ, that was near perfect. Just fantastic powerful stuff...about a fucking superhero. Jesus, I just can't believe how great it was. Remember that trailer? It captured the spirit of that trailer throughout. Just...wow. I'm blown away. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart...amazing.

Who knew that stupid superhero movies could birth something so great. All those shit movies were worth it just for this single film.

Mind you, if I had my way I'd have cut the film by 20 minutes and ended it when he wakes up from his nightmare and says "I hurt people." Just blackness straight after that sentence. 30 seconds of nothing and roll credits with the trailer music fading in slowly. I'm telling you THAT would have been the perfect film.

A massive Kevin out of 10.

Logan was fucking brilliant. Like you, I assumed the trailer would turn out to be totally unrepresentative but nope, they stayed the fucking course and went all in. It did go a tiny bit superhero-y flashy for the final section but even that was (relatively) restrained and relevant. Also: Steven Merchant was very good. I was worried he'd derail the tone of his scenes by being too, well, *him*, but his mix of bitter and sarcastic suited the character, and the whole film, brilliantly.

I watched Kingsman last night. I never fancied it but everyone here bumming it wore down my resolve and I'm glad I did

The 'Freebird' scene is fucking jawdropping. I'm glad I watched it just for that. All the fight scenes are great (as a wrestling saddo I enjoyed Eggsy suplexing a mook and then bridging out of it to shoot another).

As to the returning character... It was the least convincing movie death I've ever seen anyway. I half expected him to show up later in the same movie.

Post subject:  Re: The Movie topic

Yeah I didn't totally love everything about the movie, but it is mostly enjoyable.

I think they spent way too much time on training Eggsy, and some of the plot contrivances were a bit much to accept, but yeah that central action setpiece was phenomenal (although I'd have loved it if they presented it without any cuts, rather than with not very many cuts. It did a great job of masking the cuts in the middle of the action, so why even cut away at all?). I'd also say the elements dealing with class were a little heavy handed.

I don't love it as much as Kick-ass, but it is a good film.

Great, silly stuff. Sammy J is great, Hiddleston is forgettable, John Goodman is watchable as always. He's also lot a fair bit of weight recently, which can only be a god thing - he will be a genuine loss to acting when he dies, and it'd be great if it's a longer way off.

Moana - took the kids for their first cinema visit (they were very well behaved, the film kept them engrossed whichi si pretty good for a 2 and a 4 year old). I do enjoy a bit of polynesian culture, and The Rock absolutely nailed the voice acting (it was so good, it took me a while to twig it was actually him). It was quite simplistic and trotted out a lot of seen-before tropes but overall, very good family fun. The design/animation of the major baddie was excellent. The whole cinema enjoyed hearing our 2 year old's little high pitched voice calling out 'that's a big TV'.


Yeah, the basic plot on this was as old as time, but I think the film was pretty awesome. The Rock's song was also excellent!


I've had to watch to the 'You're Welcome!' song on youtube a few times today - it's fantastic, and the art style during the song is amazing.

It's a good cast but there's a high chance it'll be shit-awful given that America seems to have entirely forgotten how to do comedy films in the last few years (unless your idea of comedy is brick-in-the-face lowest common denominator bullshit in which case this is a golden era).

Today I learned that Birdman is a comedy ;)

Watched Bridge Of Spies the other night - was pretty good. Hanks is as dependable as ever, and Mark Rylance put in a good performance too. Some fantastic directing and visuals too, I'd argue it's one of Spielberg's best.

I suppose it has funny elements, but I'd consider it more drama than comedy.

"Comedy film" to me says something that's created specifically to make people laugh.

Wikipedia lists it as a "black comedy", which I suppose I can agree with - I'd categorise Grosse Pointe Blank in the same genre as Birdman.

Do you like zombie movies? Then watch The Girl With All The Gifts, it's great! And British! Make Britain Great Again. Etc.

Actually it's not great but it is good and hilariously pinches the story from The Last of Us. I sharn't ruin it for anyone cause I'd like to encourage people to watch it, but when two people work together to open a shutter you figure it must have been intentional.

Its got a great opener, a decent middle and then ... BAM ... the last twenty minutes are absolute dog shit. I can't understand how anyone watching this during a screening wouldn't have provided enough negative feedback that they'd have gone back and redone twenty minutes or cut it short and redone an ending sequence. It's a really great film for 135 minutes before a shit show of awfulness. I suppose it's a hangover that most zombie movies have. I can't remember a decent zombie movie ending outside of Night & Dawn of the Living Dead. Even The Walking Dead won't fucking end. ;)

Birdman seems very divisive - all the reviews on Netflix are either one or five stars.

Not seen the movie, but the book it is based on (by Mike Carey, comic book fans) is thoroughly enjoyable.

Last nights film was Left Behind which, I didn't realise until after I'd watched it, is described as an American Christian Apocalyptic thriller.

It was terrible. The plot revolves around Nicholas Cage and his daughter. Cage plays an airline pilot who is knocking off one of his stewardesses all because his wife has found God. His daughter has just returned from college to spend time with her family but Cage is off flying a plane to London. She meets a famous author/journalist who happens to travelling on Cages plane later on in the film.

During the flight, a load of people (mainly children) vanish leaving behind only their clothes. The same thing happens across the whole planet.

The rest of the film is taken up with the plane truing to make it back to the USA while Cages daughter tries to find her brother and mom and also figure out what's going on.

It turns out that all the people who have vanished are practicing Christians and God has taken them back to Heaven. There's a Left Behind 2 which probably carries on where this one left off and will probably explore what happens to the people left on earth because the budget couldn't manage a plane crash so it clearly can't manage Heaven.

Anyway. It was terrible. Probably the worst film I've ever seen beating Open Water which previously held that accolade!

You should watch Some Kind of Wonderful for some Lea Thompson that doesn't make you want to kill everyone.

Also it's one of my favorite films of all time, because I'm a fourteen year old girl.

The first band I ever played in did a song called Some Kind of Wonderful... In fact, now I think about it. That was the first song I've ever played live in front of an audience.

Dunno? Never seen the film... Let me see what I can remember from the lyrics...

1st verse
Let me taste freedom, feels like I'm flying above
Golden streams of sunlight, feels kind on my skin
There's no other place in this world, I'd rather be right now
I'm at the end of the rainbow where blue sky meets heaven, I'm alive

Chorus
Some kind of wonderful, take me to the higher (higher) some kind of beautiful, set my heart on fire (fire)

2nd verse
Slowly descending, the king of arrival

And that's all I can remember. Not bad to say I haven't played it in about 18 years. I'm guessing that's nothing like the film, right?
