Topic: The Movie Thread

@WanderingBullet @JohnnyShoulder Donner has been on about doing it for a while. Don't really see the point myself.

I tried the TV show, well - I watched 20 minutes of an episode - it wasn't very good.

@JohnnyShoulder Don't know about Charlie's Angels but Bad Boys For Life's actually doing pretty well at the box office and because of that they're already planning to make a fourth Bad Boys movie. Probably not so soon I would think since I read that the same directors are working on Beverly Hills Cop 4 unless the studio plans on hiring a different director.

@KALofKRYPTON The first two season were okay I thought but nothing worth shouting about. I stopped watching Season 3 after they fired the lead actor.

Watched the Adam Sandler special on Netflix.

Absolutely awesome. Well played Mr Sandler. Some of the songs are fantastic.

@WanderingBullet Ah apologies, my mistake I obviously incorrectly remembered reading something about Bad Boys For Life. Still, not a fan of all this, and unfortunately it seems there is no end to it either, as I was not aware of another Beverly Hill Cop being made.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, the fourth Beverly Hills Cop is being develop for Netflix if I'm not mistaken.

@RogerRoger It came out of the blue and is my type of humour. Give it a watch.

@RogerRoger Me and my mates saw that in the cinema when it go first released. We all cried when Bill Pullman did his speech near the end! We were all very hungover though and it was our first holiday together without our parents, so the previous night was a messy one.

@RogerRoger Now there's a film I quite liked as a kid, so much so I feel like I forced myself to really like the PS1 game!

@RogerRoger I think it got by as it was a hot spring/summer that featured lots of me playing games with schools mates; Independence Day, Porsche Challenge, Micro Machines V3 - Oasis were back and full of coke chucking out singles with 6 layers of rhythm guitar... Heady days!

@RogerRoger Love them up to the 4th album, after that it went pretty downhill.

The 90s were the final peak of British culture, it was a great ride!

@LN78 Thanks! That looks like a decent read!

Definitely Maybe is the clear winner over WTSMG *drops mic

@nessisonett I've never been able to decide between the two, both timeless in my eyes. Or should that be ears?

I want to get The Big Lebowski on dvd, anyone else seen that?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Not my favourite Coen Brothers movie but it’s pretty good yeah. Definitely worth a watch.

@themcnoisy @RogerRoger Watched it a few weeks ago. It's really funny. Definitely one of the best stand-up comedies on Netflix for me. The Phone Wallet Keys song was brilliant.lol

@WanderingBullet it's the passport, phone, wallet, laptop, keys song. Lol.

I really like the peeing in the shower song. Insane.

@themcnoisy I knew the guy could sing but I've never heard him rap before. The guy's pretty talented. Gonna watch Uncut Gems this weekend.

Aladdin. Not a patch on the animated version. The only thing better was Princess Jasmine who was a bit more fleshed out this this version. Naomi Scott was fantastic in the role and has by far the best voice in the film. Will Smith is just doing Will Smith which is not all bad, but unfortunately he was never gonna be as good as Robin Williams. What made the performance special was Williams ability to ad lib a lot of the stuff. I never got that from Smith in this version. Aladdin, Jafar and the rest of the cast were just a bit bland, and some of the dancing in the musical numbers looked strange. Just go watch the original.

This weekend I watched:

Apollo 11: pretty good, but I went through a period of reading/watching anything I could to do with the mercury/Gemini/Apollo missions. I was much more impressed with the documentary In The Shadow of the Moon - the interviews are great, I’m a massive fan of Michael Collins.

Dragged Across Concrete: certainly worth a watch, I thought Mel Gibson was pretty cool in this. Not as gnarly as Brawl in Cell Block 99.

Midsommar: watched with a friend who hadn’t seen it, not so good second time round but I love this film. Whatever the girls name is who plays Dani is great.
