Watched The Marvels, it was a silly Marvel film, but we loved it. A nice cast and the story kinda worked. The hate is not not justified for the film.

Same. Watched it. Enjoyed it. Didn't feel the need to be a misogynistic arse on the internet. Weird.

Poor Things was weird as fuck

Just back from seeing Dune. Excellent stuff, I don't think there has been anything like it for a very long time.

If you are going try to see it on the biggest screen you can.

Obviously set up to have a sequel if this one does well enough but leaves the most important question unanswered. "Where do the Bene Gesserit get their magnificent hats?"

To be fair, it's technically 5 hours long.

Does Dune 2 have like a recap of Dune 1 at the start of it or anything like that?

Yes, yes...all very interesting. But what about the hats?

To be fair, it's technically 5 hours long.

If.l you can't tell a story, and don't have Jason Statham in vest punching a shark in the face, in under two hours, it isn't a film it's indulgence.

No, but part 1 is on Disney+ if you have access to that.

Oh, I have Part 1 on my Plex server and I've watched it previously. But I don't remember much of it, other than that it was ever so slightly hard to follow -- but I was watching at home so I probably wasn't fully concentrating on it.

I'm that way with almost every drama I watch these days i.e. everything is ever so slightly hard to follow.

Kate had some surgery, they said she wouldn't be back while Easter, it isn't Easter so everyone should calm the fuck down.

I keep seeing trailers for that movie and it looks brilliant.

or perhaps a melange

Jules

Ben Kingsley plays an eccentric (possibly autistic and starting to show signs of dementia) elderly person living in small town America when a UFO crashes in his garden and he has to deal with the consequences as no one else takes him seriously.

I quite liked this, a nice self-contained, slow paced story, with just enough going on, to keep you interested. (it did make me want to rewatch Batteries not Included and Cocoon after it had ended though)

The Flash

Not as bad as everyone said it was, but by no means excellent, the CGI was poor (felt like I was watching a cutscene from a computer game or tv show), Ezra Miller is annoying , and some of the nostalgia references felt forced and contrived .

However, other than those things, I quite enjoyed it, it was fun, I did want to see how the story developed, and I loved Batman in it.

Dune
I rewatched this, and other than it being a bit slow to get going, I really enjoyed it again, the one downer was the number of famous actors in it, we (I watched it with my wife and youngest son) kept on remarking on it, it took us out of the moment/story. The other thing (and a lot of sci-fi does this) was that considering we were so far in the future, there was an awful lot of middle ages living (castles, wax seals, swords) which seemed out of place.

I'm probably going to watch part 2 at the cinema tomorrow, so this was mostly watched as a reminder, however I still really enjoyed the film once they got to Arrakis.

Oh very good

The Bee Keeper - Amazing

Dune 2: loud, louder, visually amazing, shit dialogue. Really liked it

Stayed awake then?

One weekend evening the kids wanted to watch a movie but bedtime was approaching so we asked them to find something short to watch so they chose some old (ok, 90s) film called The Big Green

Entirely predictable, disadvantaged students in a poor town have no hope but a SUBSTITUTE TEACHER comes in an manages to find a SURPRISING way of getting through the them and through the MAGIC OF SOCCER (football) there's a happy ending. Even though I gave that snarky description, I found the film charming and fun, a really good family movie - although it is very much lightweight. The lady in it was very pretty, Steve Guttenburg looked like he was really phoning it it.

We watched that one in the depths of lockdown. It's a straight re-run of The Mighty Ducks, but no less enjoyable
