Be Excellent To Each Other

I have ("gone to a store and legitimately purchased" - Ed) it! I've not watched it yet, though.

Excellent.

Seen it. It was pretty awful.

I loved it

They even play the theme song over the closing credits!

To be fair Grim... That trailer makes it look awesome! I'd watch it.

Rogue One is apparently in a bit of bother: http://screenrant.com/star-wars-rogue-o ... mcquarrie/

40% reshoots six months before release? Good luck with that.

The article seems pretty positive about it.

That's what I thought.

I fear the article hasn't given it a massive amount of thought, then.

It...seems to. Reshoots are incredibly common.

They are indeed, which is why I didn't mention it last week when the news was just "reshoots".

Reshoots of 40% of the movie, though?!

Supporting actor recast?

I see you're a glass less than half empty kind of guy

Watched "The Resurrection of Jake the Snake" over the weekend on Netflix...great documentary on how Diamond Dallas Page got Jake Roberts sober (well sober for long periods anyway). The most shocking part wasn't Jake the Snake though, it was the condition that Scott Hall had gotten himself into, he initially comes over as a completely broken man.

DDP is awesome.

I've (acquired by magic) the DDP Yoga DVD set and I keep meaning to try to get into it.

One day...

He really is, no one seems to have a bad word to say about him (and in wrestling that's pretty much unique).

It probably helped that he didn't start wrestling until he was 35 so probably had a more mature head on his shoulders.

My colleague's brother (who Cras and Curio met once at the wrestling) was at one of DDP's Yoga classes / courses.

I got my awesome wrestling mask from The Vision!

Wait, this isn't about movies...

X Men: Apocalypse was surprisingly good. One particular scene with Quicksilver was superb.

Trailers for Ghostbusters and The BFG looked good. The BFG himself looks sodding perfect; exactly as you'd imagine.

I watched two films last night. Very unusual for me.

The first film I watched was We Still Kill The Old Way. Brit gangster flick, not very good. It seems to focus on the "good old days" and glorify it a bit too much.

The torture scene did make me laugh though (JC, laughing at inappropriate things since 1974..). Any way yeah, a bit poo overall but I did watch it all.

The second film of the night though was a home run. It was called John Wick and stars Keanu Reeves.

Absolutely fantastic, probably the best film I have seen since The Crow. It really did have it all. I love it when you see a film that you've never heard of, say "WTF is that?" when you see it in the list then watch it and get such a nice surprise.

Oh yeah, both are on NowTV.

You stole John Wick's car and killed his fucking dog. John Wick isn't the Boogeyman, he's the guy you hire to kill the fucking boogeyman.

Yeah John Wick is good fun, sequel on the way, too.

Fantastic

I watched the sequel to 300 on Saturday night. Despite scoring on the Craster scale, it wasn't very good.

Not a patch on 300.

301?

1.

Jem and I watched The Nice Guys at the cinema on Saturday night. I'd call it the "spiritual prequel" to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it's a very similar set up but takes place in the 70s.

Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling are on good form, although Crowe has filled out a bit and just seems to talk in the way he always seems to since Gladiator, so not sure if that counts as acting

Some great moments though, definitely worth a watch.

I enjoyed We still kill the old way. We watched Goodfella's afterwards.

John Wick is good.

Tokyo Drift is terrible

Yeah I watched Goodfellas and then Casino in one sitting a couple of weeks ago. Absolute classics, just a shame that staying in one position for that many hours hurt so much

They're all terrible, but they're still great.

What were you expecting?

I was hoping it to be on par with 2 Fast 2 Furious. It was really missing Paul Walker and Vinny D. I love the first one, the second has Devon Aoki in it being THE SEXAH. The third isn't as good and seems to have people pulking funny faces a lot. Still, I have the fourth one to watch tomorrow!

You know there are seven of them, right?

(And Los Bandoleros, I guess)

I think I decided that the 6th was the best one. They are ridiculous and bad and good.

I particularly like thinking about the timeline too much.

I don't really know which one was which, apart from the first one.

Was the sixth one the one with the tunnels, or the never-ending runway?

Yes! Very exciting.

They really fucked up with the names. It's impossible to tell what order to watch them in!

markg - making the impossible possible.

Witchcraft!

The sixth one had the chase scene with the massive safe being dragged across a city.

If I remember right. I marathoned them all in one go.

Pretty sure that was Fast 5.

But that *was* the 6th one.

Ruh-roh.

This one was something about driving through tunnels. It wasn't as bright and colorful as the first 2 but gained points for using a Rover 25 in the final chase scene.

Wait! I will use a spoiler. Fast and Furious

What sets Tokyo Drift apart from the others is that it's no fun and full of annoying characters...while the others are dumb, stupid and fun, fun, fun.

I did get a good laugh at the actor playing the main dude from Tokyo Drift being obviously older than his character is supposed to be by at least a couple of years.

And then when he shows up in one of the later movies a decade or so later, he is still supposed to be the same age in the movie's chronology.

Ha! Yes! I texted MrsA

THE FUCK I THOUGHT HAN WENT TO JAPAN 2 FILMS AGO OR SOMETHING
