Topic: The Movie Thread

Dune is the latest to be delayed, this time for a whole year.

@JohnnyShoulder Ooooof, that’s a major delay!

I had a feeling a delay was coming but I had no idea it would be pushed back nearly a whole year

Also isn't that the same day as The Batman?

Will there be theaters left to show these delayed movies in?

@zupertramp They’re going to be directly beamed into your brain hole. Roll on 2021.

Wow, The Batman pushed to 2022.

Oh man, they’re properly doing a Resident Evil movie. Proper good cast though, some decent actors in there as iconic characters!

Very intrigued by this. It's apparently set in 1998 too which means it's around the time of RE2 as well. Robbie Amell is definitely an interesting choice for Chris Redfield, and Tom Hopper DEFINITELY looks like he could play a solid Wesker.

Really hope this and Jordan-Vogt Roberts' Metal Gear Solid movie actually do their respective source materials' justice. I definitely have high hopes for MGS given how much of a vocal fan the director is, and how well written those codec skits he posted on Twitter during Metal Gear's 31st anniversary were.

@TheFrenchiestFry Robbie Amell is basically perfect for Chris Redfield, I’ve seen him in a few things and he’s the perfect mix of meathead and lowkey goofy to pull it off.

@TheFrenchiestFry @nessisonett Sounds like something Toby Kebbel should be in.

@JohnnyShoulder Toby Kebbell is absolutely going to be Tyrant.

@JohnnyShoulder Toby Kebbell as Carlos would actually be amazing

I am currently about halfway through Anger Management with Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler I am at the part where Buddy just arranged for Dave to meet up with his former patient in a romantic setting, it all goes pear-shaped obviously

I watched the original Terminator there. Forgot just how good it was. I have to say though, this is my first time watching it in HD on a bigger screen and I saw rather more of Arnie than I remembered. You get a proper look at Arnold Schlongnegger swaying in the wind.

@nessisonett Yeah my younger mind must have scrubbed that from my memory. Or more likely it was edited when I saw it on TV.

I saw another Toby Kebbel duffer earlier in Bloodshot with Vin Diesel and Guy Pearce (who is someone else that needs stern words with his agent). Wasn't as awful as I thought it would be but found it a bit predictable in places and there was some noticeable use of CGI in a few of the main action scenes. Toby's dance near the start is something else too. Not as cringe as another Toby in Spider-man 3, be he was almost there.

@JohnnyShoulder Of course he was in Bloodshot! Dear lord Toby, get a better agent 😂

@JohnnyShoulder So I'm not the only one who thinks Guy Pearce is actually really good only he's in a ton of sub-par movies?

@zupertramp Yeah, that’s true, he’s great in Memento and L.A. Confidential but he’s done a lot of rubbish too. I totally recommend everyone to watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert though, a strange but brilliant movie where he and Hugo Weaving play drag queens along with Terence Stamp as a trans woman as they travel across the outback. Absolutely barmy movie.

@zupertramp @nessisonett He was also good in The Rover with Robert Pattinson, which was the first film I took any notice of Pattinson. But apart from that and what Ness mentioned yeah I'm struggling to think what he has actually been in recently, nevermind if he has been any good in them. He was ok in Iron Man 3 I suppose, but I disliked the bait and switch they pulled on that one and was overshadowed by Ben Kingsley's performance.

I've finished Anger Management now. Loved the ending "Give her a five-second frencher!"
