Watched a random movie the other day "Bliss" what a pile of shite that film was!1

Watch the Snyder cut of Justice League. All 4 hours of it. A vast improvement on the original which isn't difficult and despite the epic run time it seemed to flow pretty well. Still hate Jared Leto's Joker though.2

Loved how much better it was. Haven't taken the time to have a look, was this all deleted footage or is much of it new content? Seems like Wheadon just cheesed up so much of a fantastic script and skimped on the character building of those we hadn't seen before. (Cyborg, Aquaman and The Flash). Felt like it brought a bit more of the darker DC feel with it.AllHailTheHen said:Watch the Snyder cut of Justice League. All 4 hours of it.

Very much enjoyed Promising Young Woman. Not for kids, pretty tense/suspenseful and semi-predictable. All that said, Carey Mulligan’s performance is Oscar worthy, she plays vulnerable, flirtatious and damn right scary incredibly well. Will watch again.If Justice League Snyder cut is out, I know what I will be doing this weekend, while still stuck on this couch. I had a blink and you’ll miss me Special Armed police scene with Gal Gadot in that movie, so will be interested to see if that remains, but more importantly, love darker DC, so hope Snyder did it justice (boom boom)...0

Really really enjoyed Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Such a shame that this full JL story movie is not being treated as canon by Warner/DC. Darker, bloodier (but not too bloody), far better character development and all the bits necessary to make the story a proper DC graphic novel/comic series. Totally understanding/sympathetic as to why the change in Director was necessary, but the story/screenplay is so different, I am not sure why the studio let that happen? One thought I had was that Warner decided to back away from the Darkseid storyline due to the concurrence of release with Avengers’ Thanos storyline, but otherwise, such a shame, as all the threads were drawn together so much better and there was a really good tee up for the following films in the original planned trilogy. Dark Superman would have been a whole lot of fun and I hope we get to see him.
If you like comic book hero films, I would highly recommend making the time.1 - Sponsored links:

News of The World - Pretty decent film that has its moments. Worth a watch.4

Is it based around the newspaper? lolValleyGary said:News of The World - Pretty decent film that has its moments. Worth a watch.1 -
I sat through the Snyder Cut, and was pleasantly surprised by it. Unlike BvS it had a mostly coherent script, and unlike MoS the action sequences weren't eye-rollingly relentless. Still, it's not without its problems. For a start, Justice League is trying to do in one film what Marvel did over a decade. And that's still a problem narratively. The film is four hours long for that very reason. Stuff like the introduction of Iris that, at best, offers a bit of character info on Barry, but leaves a plot thread hanging. And to really enjoy it I think you have to be a fan of Snyder's visuals, which tend to be more artistic and stylised than practical or believable (I know, it's a comic book movie, but still - he seems more interested in still frames than movement).
I can totally see why Whedon did what he did. His film is a much more compact, accessible popcorn-seller, albeit with an incredibly uneven tone. Still, it helped that WB released this in a lockdown world - I would be far less inclined to sit through a four hour Snyder movie if I were not stuck at home! Much of it is given time to breath that it wouldn't get in a theatrical cut.
The stuff at the end was somewhat bemusing. Like ideas thrown at a wall and rather than seeing what sticks, Snyder keeps it all in the movie, even if it makes absolutely no sense to the average punter. I guess it's his way of saying "this is what you could have won" had his version been the canon version to build on. Either way, I felt like those scenes were post-credit scenes but Snyder was like, fuck it, throw 'em in!

Watched this tonight. Great to see westerns still being made and this was great focusing on something slightly different from that era, rather than just bandits vs sheriff type script.ValleyGary said:News of The World - Pretty decent film that has its moments. Worth a watch.1 -
Olivia Coleman is one of those actresses who can really raise the enjoyment of watching a film.
Bit like Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey, David Tennant, etc.1 -
Finally got around to watching Parasite last night.
Kind of ambles along nicely and then in the last 25 minutes goes bat shit crazy!3 -
Watched News of the World last night. For a Paul Greengrass film starring Tom Hanks I thought it was really disappointing.0

Just watched Godzilla vs Kong. Sadly for a film about two 300ft monsters fighting each other it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Lots of buildings getting knocked over though.3

Clearly it's really hard to come up with storyline that gives you anyone to care about when it comes to these films. Kong: Skull Island did a pretty good job (Tom Hiddleston notwithstanding) and I thought Cloverfield found a good way of making the human story the most important part. The two Godzilla films were awful at that. In the first one, they drove nukes around that didn't affect the story at all in any meaningful way. And that last one was abysmal - a little girl effectively murdered millions cos she had mummy issues. But it's okay, cos her mum killed herself which was worthy redemption apparently!AllHailTheHen said:Just watched Godzilla vs Kong.

Bad Trip (Netflix)
I saw this prank comedy movie the other day - I thought it was going to be really bad but I laughed out loud half a dozen times. So I can recommend it! A guy sees the love of his life and goes on a road trip to win her heart and drags his mate along. They nick his mate's sister's car, and she busts out of jail and wants her car back.
Stunts include a musical number in the middle of a mall (that really got me) and when the girl broke out of jail, some poor bloke cleaning the streets saw her climbing out from under the prison bus and helped her get out of there. The unwitting members of the public really do play a part in the plot which is quite an impressive feat.
Towards the middle it gets a bit too gross-out for my liking, and the narrative is ver Borat-like, but I kinda prefer it to Borat in a way. It's less politically motivated, and in fact, the people they prank all seem to be really good natured people who are trying to help. 8/12.

If you've got a Firestick or Android set top box then I can give you a pointer to an off the shelf apk that will enable you to watch it.JiMMy 85 said:

Trial of the Chicago 7 is worth a watch on Netflix. A cracking cast, very well acted and paced. A really enjoyable watch and can see why it is up for a few awards.7

Watched Moxie last night on Netflix. Amy Poehler directing. 'High school' cast that all look around 26 years old. Very average with some awful dialogue.
Also watched The News of the World, the new Tom Hanks one. Entertaining enough, but predictable.
In this new content-rich era, average seems to be an acceptable standard.1 -
Saw it last week. I think it would have made a perfectly acceptable B-grade after school teenage TV special in the 1990s. Simplistic. Overly happy ending. Cardboard characters. Modest dialogue at best.Chunes said:Watched Moxie last night on Netflix. Amy Poehler directing. 'High school' cast that all look around 26 years old. Very average with some awful dialogue.

Yes if I was going to use one word to describe it I’d be stuck between “loud” or “shouty”, luckily the second word would be easier to find “shit”suzisausage said:Just finished uncut gems. Anxiety gone through the roof.1 -
Watched Godzilla vs Kong. You need to have seen the stand alones and remember the plot points for this to all tie in and make some sort of sense. Pretty true to material, you understand why he is King Kong for example (ruler of Hollow Earth) etc. I thought it packed enough punch, but will be baffling for casual cinema goers or non Godzilla/Kong fans. Hong Kong was left with a big rebuild cost...1

Meh Hong Kong probably gets off lightly compared to the shite that New York constantly goes through, there and Holby City appear the last places Id ever want to livePavoren007 said:Watched Godzilla vs Kong.
