Topic: The Movie Thread

@nessisonett I like Midnight in Paris and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, that's about it. Both have a similar vibe I think. Anyway, regarding Midnight in Paris, I mostly don't dig Marion Cotillard but she's kinda perfectly cast in this film.

@zupertramp Marion Cotillard’s one of those actresses who just picks her Hollywood roles relatively badly. You should watch Rust and Bone, both her and Matthias Schoenaerts are brilliant in it!

@nessisonett really thought you were referring to two different titles there so boy was I having trouble finding anything. anyway yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Add it to my ever growing queue.

@zupertramp Oh no I hate it when that happens and then you end up proper confused 😂😂

My mum’s work are being paid to close for a week by Warner Bros to film on that street. Looks like it’s The Flash, which would make sense given The Batman filmed there too, so I’d assume Burton’s Gotham will also be Glasgow.

New LEGO set has leaked both Spider-Man's new suit for No Way Home as well as confirming Wong will be in the film in some capacity

@TheFrenchiestFry New suit looks a bit weird. Glad Wong’s gonna be in it though, interesting that he’s in 3 different upcoming movies too.

@nessisonett It looks like they just took the MCU Iron Spider suit and the Upgraded Suit from FFH, and just threw them both in a blender

@TheFrenchiestFry Really really don’t like the Iron Man-lite direction for Peter. It’s getting ever closer to Parker Industries and they’re pretty much abandoning the friendly neighbourhood aspect.

@nessisonett If they were going to go the whole "armored" aspect of his suit I'd much rather something that looks closer to the Spider-Armor Mark IV

Don't get the gold accents at all. It's almost like they're being unsubtle about it

@TheFrenchiestFry The suit was basically perfect in Homecoming. They could have kept it and I’d be fine with it, he had pretty much the same suit in the comics for 25 years.

Just watched the new Chris Pratt movie on Amazon The Tomorrow War. It was a half-decent action sci-fi blockbuster in fairness. The missus and I went in with low expectations and were very pleasantly surprised. There is some stand-out stupidity… particularly at the end but it didn’t really spoil it for us too much.

Second film of the day and it was ****ing brilliant! Pride a true story about solidarity between striking South Wales Miners and London Lesbian and Gay activists set in the 80’s. Funny and extremely poignant (particularly for a South Wales valley boy raised in the 80’s), great movie!

@colonelkilgore My partner cajoled me into watching Pride a couple years back (I think I traded it for one of the many Mission: Impossible sequels) and, despite it not being my kinda movie in the slightest, I did find some moments of it surprisingly effective. That's the one where Bill Nighy is making sandwiches and randomly outs himself, isn't it? He's such a superb actor.

@RogerRoger yeah that’s the one, as a proud Welshman it moved me quite a bit. I cry during the national anthem mind.

They seem to be filming Indiana Jones 5 about half an hour away from my house which is pretty cool. So we’ve got that and then The Flash coming soon!

@nessisonett ...now there's a crossover I didn't know I needed until today.

@RogerRoger @nessisonett Indiana Jones and the Temple of Zoom?

@Gremio108 Oof, that was a good one 😂

@Gremio108 I think Indy might struggle trying to connect to the conference given his age!
