@LN78 I have… but not for what must be 30 years. I have a real soft spot for Tony Scott as it goes, I mean his films are more veneer than solid oak… but sometimes I’m in the mood for that tbh.
@LN78 yeah that would have to be his ‘best’ film, Days of Thunder is my guilty pleasure… and then most of his other films fall in between. Shout outs to Top Gun, Spy Game, Enemy of the State and Man on Fire.
@LN78 lol… I lovedMaverick! Don’t be put off giving Edge of Tomorrow a go though, it might well be my favourite Groundhog Day-film (& and I’m yet to watch one that I didn’t enjoy).
@RogerRoger Yeah I was thinking about how great it was that they managed to fit both Sonic 2 and 3 games into the second movie, in terms of characters that is. It definitely makes the movies much better that way.
According to Deadline, Ridley Scott is actually going ahead with the oft-rumoured "Gladiator 2". Given his recent history with belated sequels I wonder if this is cause for celebration or not.
Don’t tell me it’ll be based on the script where a dead Maximus is travelling through the layers of a Greco-Roman hell-scape?!?! 😃
The wife and I recently watched Sleepers. As we are going through older films we missed growing up, or maybe weren't age appropriate for at the time. (Not that it didn't stop us from seeing certain films).
@LN78 I was thinking the same. I have a feeling Mad God by Phil Tippet will be miles better than it. Will share my thoughts once I've seen it at some point this weekend.
Puss n Boots I'll probably put on Netflix when my nieces and nephews are over.
I watched that documentary about Mickey Mouse on Disney+ last night. It was a bit saccharine for my tastes but understandable given the subject matter and the fact that American documentaries do tend to be a little glossier. Obviously you aren’t likely to get the most critical look at him as a corporate entity from a Disney production but at least they attempted to address the overzealous copyright protection, the blackface, the groping cartoons etc. Better than glossing over it. While I would prefer a drier, more in depth documentary on the company (open to recommendations), it was still an enjoyable enough watch.
1. Fight Club (I blame this on already knowing the twist at the end and the outrageous hype around it)
2. The Breakfast Club (watched this one not too long ago, maybe I missed the hype train again. I could see what they were trying to do but didn't think it was executed well)
3. Joker (very controversial opinion I imagine but just found it hard work and believe that it wouldn't have gotten the critical reception it did had it not been addressing the issue of mental health.
I agree with your view on E.T. by the way but I've never seen the others.
