It ends up owning most of Hulu, too, as the BBC also noted. This is a huge deal in every sense of the words.

Not that I believe that being genderless should disqualify someone from being a princess. Maybe the acid blood and all the killing tho.

Dunno if it's worth it's own thread.

It's official, Disney are buying Fox.

Xmen, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, Silver Surfer, Dr Doom & Galactus will now be in the MCU.

Plus all the other stuff that Fox owns. Alien, Avatar, Independence Day, Planet of the Apes, Kingsman and so many more movies are going to be disney property.


Bit of a reversal for Murdoch, he appeared to be hell-bent on owning all of SKY.

The deal appears to have no guarantee that his kids will get executive positions either.

Still, no doubt a good chunk of the $52 Billion Disney just shelled out is coming his way

I finally saw ‘In Bruges’ the other night.

Really, really enjoyed it. Still thinking about it and smirking a couple of days later. Loved how there was care taken with all of the characters, even the minor ones, and nobody was purely good or bad. Lots of callbacks and themes going through it, and genuinely funny moments balanced with a lot of pathos.

9/10, will seek out the director’s new movie, which just garnered a load of Golden Globe award nominations.


Just watched this. It's wonderful.

Watching “IT”.

Fat kid’s nipples are freaking me the fuck out more than the clown.

Author:  Satsuma [ Fri Dec 15, 2017 1:36 ]
Post subject:  Re: The Movie topic

“IT” was, surprisingly, really fantastic.

Pennywise was great and I especially loved the FX work on that character. That technique where (I don’t know the name of it, if it has a name) his face is almost still in the frame and the camera dances around with the surrounding scenery blurred and noisey is such a fantastic technique that suited this film. I’ve seen it before but it was put to great use here and with restraint.

Two complaints in an otherwise great film:

1) I’m not a fan of supernatural horror, and the bodies floating was pants. I thought the gist of the horror bit was that it was all in the mind but this gave the impression that it wasn’t. Didn’t like that. Horror is scarier when it’s grounded by the laws of physics.

2) There were too many kids. 2 too many in fact. You could have taken them out and had a much tighter party to focus on.

Them inside out nipples though - I hope they’re the villain in part 2. That shit will be haunting my dreams tonight. Fuck.

Is that the film (or not, as I am confused?) with Tim Curry, Jonathan Brandis and John Boy Walton? If so I had no idea that was anything other than a film. I’ve seen it several times but I’m sure I’ve only ever seen it presented as a straight run-through movie. I mean... I’ve Googled it before pressing submit now and I can see you’re completely correct, I just can’t believe I didn’t know.

Yup. I only really remember the spider though.

I’d read the book in my youth too and can’t remember for the life of me a single word of it except a basic outline of the story. I had to look at the wiki for the summary and was surprised I couldn’t remember the 7 page kiddie gang bang.

When did Luc Besson have sex with kids? I picked woody because he'd actually done it (allegedly).

I'm not sure Leon was in any way inappropriate, if that's what you're referring to? Then again I haven't watched it for years.

He can fuck off for Valerian though.

There's also the fact that her parents totally objected to shooting a lot of that stuff, but he went ahead and shot it anyway. I didn't mean to suggest he had sex with a child, but it's absolutely inappropriate.

Still, kind of harsh to put him in such an "illustrious" company.

Besides, do you think writers or movie directors should never tell immoral stories at all? Besides, it's not uncommon for a grown child/early teen girl to have a crush on a grown adult. There's the question on how did he protect the underage actress in this instance of the story he was about to tell. I do remember that the fake name "Natalie Portman" came into being to protect her, but i don't know if it was the director's or the parents idea.

I think it is child abuse to force them into sexual situations explicitly against the parents wishes, and that includes acting.

Main point isn't really to condemn him, but to condemn the movie industry for not giving a shit about this kind of thing.

Indeed, it's just a matter on how it was done. We don't know for certainly what occurred behind the scenes and how the director and parents explained to her the script and what the movie was about. For example afaik, the kid from the shining didn't know he was acting in an horror film at all.
