I watched the The Tim Drum last week for the first time . I really liked it although i can see why people wouldn’t as it had it’s weird bits but It’s a far far better film than Jojo Rabbit.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

So true. I watched till the Jewish girl appeared and gave up. The imaginary Hitler aside, it was so unbelievably unrealistic.

It did little for me . I probably laughed about three times . 7 out out of 10 - Just
I think it's a shame, as I think the film starts coming together from the point you left it. I agree that the comedic points at the beginning don't hit the highs of his usual comedic stuff, so I can understand why you left it, but once the film comes together I think it works as a character-based young adult war tale, with some strong satire.0 -
The Tin Drum is a pretty shocking film and I agree it's better than Jojo Rabbit.Bedsaddick said:

Just seen David Copperfield. I really enjoyed it as a lively interpretation of the Dickens classic. Some great performances by Dev Patel, Peter Capaldi, Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie etc1

I watched Parasite on demand last night. Can see why everyone has been going nuts over it. Was highly entertaining and thought-provoking.1

Which brings me back to the Lego point - it being an opinion doesn't make it right.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

I think we've clarified that - maybe you can get to terms with the idea that "everyone is entitled to an opinion" isn't a defence for a stupid opinion.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:JiMMy 85 said:

Maybe you should learn to have more respect for others - maybe your opinion isn't always right and there can be two different opinions on the same thing that both have validity.JiMMy 85 said:

Saw David Copperfield last night. Was along the lines of what I'd been expecting, an amusing interpretation of Dickens, a very accessible and colourful story with some very enjoyable performances from a varied cast who all seemed to have had a lot of fun making it.
I think it would be a great introduction to Dickens for 12 and 13 year olds - although it may not be wholly faithful to the book, it brings it alive and you emerge feeling a bit happier than went you went in.
Expect to see this is on TV regularly in future years, very good family entertainment.

saw 1917 last night. Thought it was excellent. Saw it in a small cinema near Hastings, 50 seats, at the end as the credits rolled I swear no-one moved for a couple of minutes. And I wasn't the only one with tears in my eyes.

excellent cameo by Andrew Scott though ...ForeverAddickted said:1917 gets a 9/10 from me... Fantastic film which is incredible when you consider how its shot
Mendes' version of No Man's Land is just amazing, the whole from that point at the beginning to the very end just leaves you on edge the whole time
Whilst everyone has their opinion (I respect that) I feel it was a film that wasnt about the characters hence why development wasnt required
Certainly didnt really care about the individuals and their backgrounds as wasnt a story about them specifically - they were just another two people in what we know was a brutal conflict
In terms of the cast I've been made to eat my words; when I saw the casting of Schofield and Blake my first reactions were: "Seriously, they look far too soft" but seeing them in the film I was extremely impressed - If anything my sole nit pick would be around Firth | Strong | Cumberbatch | Marsden - Felt the film was poweful enough not to require any big names and their brief cameos turned the scenes into: "Oh my god its X" when I think lesser actors like those who played Blake (Yes I know he was in GoT) and Schofield would have put more emphasis on the scene itselfMy biggest critiscm was shortly after Blake died... Unless Schofield was sat there for an age I found it strange that Strong and his men suddenly appeared on the scene with no warning i.e. in cars / trucks couldnt be heard whilst a handful of soldiers were round the corner having a piss yet themselves were oblivious to the fight? - Of course I may just be missing something in that passage of the film and was a sign of how Schofield had completely zoned out and was oblivious to everyone around him in the aftermath of Blake's death

If I keep relying this will never end. But I do need to say that I’m happy to be wrong, which is why I’d never say anything as inane as “it’s my opinion, don’t challenge it”.johnnybev1987 said:hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Don't think anyone ever said that - you seem to resort to making things up to back up your argument. You're a funny little chap.JiMMy 85 said:

Polite request: can you please both just bugger off to the argument thread?

Thought it was very good - a powerful story that shows the inequalities of the US legal system and the dangers of the death penalty.Croydon said:Just Mercy - absolutely superb.0 -
A beautiful day in the Neighbourhood.
Probably only means something to those in the States who grew up with Mr Rogers. I found it predictable, slow and a bit creepy. 4/10

Saw The Gentleman on Monday. No analysis but thoroughly enjoyed it.0

Watched Marriage Story last night on Netflix .
Brilliant performances from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson . Very thought provoking and enough to put anyone off anyone getting divorced . Have to admit it had me watery eyed at times.
One scene in a bar twenty minutes from the end is ridiculous and totally unnecessary . Anyone who's seen it will know what I mean.
A really good film apart from that.
9 out of 10

Just seen Jojo Rabbit for the second time (Mrs JS had a rare day off and wanted to see it).Oddly I found it more moving this time. Loved it first time, but it didn’t quite reach me, whereas this time I was in bits.Hadn’t picked up that Captain K (Sam Rockwell) was gay, it took the Mrs to point that out.Terrific film, and if I knew any nazis would love to take them to see it.2

I enjoyed Richard Jewell - a film based on true events of the aftermath of the Atlanta bombing in 96 and the trial by media that Richard faced.
Directed by Clint Eastwood.
One to watch if you like those sort of films.
Kathy Bates as his mother is very deserving of her award nominations for the role.1 -
Saw The Gentlemen the other day. Much more entertaining than I thought it would be. The dialogue reminded me a bit of Deadwood, strangely Victorian and old-fashioned yet liberally peppered with f-bombs and c-bombs (probably too many c-bombs actually , which diminished their effect).
I'm still not sure if parts of the film were actually racist, or calling out racism, or having a dig a people who call everything racist...

I don't think it was to be taken as a microcosm of society or anything just one of those exchanges that actually happens0 -
Just in from David Copperfield. Absolutely loved it.1

I kind of get what you're saying but it's a very weird sentiment. If I knew any Nazis I'd unknow them asap and never have anything more to do with them.JamesSeed said:Just seen Jojo Rabbit for the second time (Mrs JS had a rare day off and wanted to see it).Oddly I found it more moving this time.
