Motion Pictures (that anuse me)

[endar]

I clapped when I saw Skeletor

[endar]

(I have watched neither)

[CandyDarling]

I have fond memories of going to see the first one at my local cinema in 1987, and being mildly entertained

[blombluss]

(I have watched neither)

I'll get you for this.

I've never seen it, and I don't know why.

Dolph + Monica + Tom Paris + Langella Skeletor = best

the ST game = crazed

Imagine paying £20/£25 for that!

Also...

You didn't pay £20/£25 for that, I hoep?

[endar]

I never had an ST so good lord no

[blombluss]

Good man!

I tried the new Masters of the Universe flop film vesterday, but I got bored after 20 minutes, so I ended up watching RLM's Half In The Bag review of it, instead, which was fun, and probably more fun than continuing with the film.

And it turns out that Skeletor (Jared Leto), is an absolute shitebag.

[endar]

shocking news. Who knew (absolutely everyone)

[An Unicorn]

30 Seconds To Arse, more like.

[dng]

Hasnt there been a variation of this Jared Leto news every single year for the entire 21st century?

[dng]

Next we'll be finding out Russell Brands a prick again I suppose

[Bruce Sato]

Get Alan Oppenheimer to redub Skeletor.

[blombluss]

He's the right age now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111 (96)

[dng]

I watched Bullitt tonight, which I'd never seen before. Now at last I finally know the origin of all the driving games ever made

[endar]

Yes, especially the ones on PS1 for some reason

[An Unicorn]

He's the right age now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111 (96)

Nice

[blombluss]

Heh! V troo.

Something I actually want to go and watch for the first time in over a decade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNYRpLksOK0

[CandyDarling]

Last night I saw this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jGYW1fzIw0

It was actually really really good! Under the jokes and gross out stuff there was some properly angry political commentary. Certain types in America should be forced to watch it, Ludovico Technique style

[dng]

excellent

[vom]

ah excellent! that's on the programme for the local film festival I'm going to in a couple of months

[blombluss]

I watched Tucker & Dale vs. Evil vesterday.

Today I remembered that the bloke who plays Dale was previously in a show called 'Reaper', which I enjoyed a few years back, so I re-watched the first couple of episodes, and enjoyed 'em.

Which was nice.

[dng]

I watched the furious today, in which a man and another man must beat up all the every other mans in the whole of Asia. It was good

[dng]

And intense

[dng]

And absurdly violent

[dng]

I hope the sequel is called the fast

[blombluss]

I recently saw the trailer for Kung Fu Soccer - a sorta sequel to Shaolin Soccer. It didn't grab me, and it looked rather Playstation-y in places.

[blombluss]

Just watched The End of Oak Street (2026). Imagine a 90 minute Jurassic Park in the suburbs B-movie, and you'll be on the right lines. Enjoyable toss - 7/10.

[vom]

I went to see that on Monday and agree with your review. I think it could have been something special if they'd bothered to actually write any characters instead of just going "haha look it's the 80s, everyone has unflattering shorts" but it was still a fun Dino Romp

[vom]

I loved the big silent worm

[dng]

i saw the trailer for that and had no idea it was supposed to be set in the 80s

[dng]

why weren't they all wearing t-shirts that said "i love the 80s"?

[dng]

"and am also living in the 80s"?

[vom]

yeah it's very odd that the trailer didn't make a big thing of that, it very much seems to be trying to appeal to the Stranger Things nostalgia audience

[blombluss]

Very troo, although the Stranger Things vibe didn't fully click with me until I saw the lads on their bmxs.

[blombluss]

I seem to recall that in the 80s, stuff referencing the year 2000 seemed to be a thing.

[blombluss]

I loved the big silent worm

I'd like to see that on Homes Under The Hammer!

[endar]

Did they go to Tech Noir at any point

[blombluss]

They did

not.

[vom]

I bet one of the dinosaurs did (not pictured)

[blombluss]

I'm just waiting for Coyote vs. Acme to appear on my Yaaaaar High Seas website of choice, me hearties...

[dng]

The Batman - did you ever think that the christian bale batman's were a bit too light hearted, brightly lit, and nowhere near long enough? then this is the film for you!

[blombluss]

So I watched this last night, and a good time was had by all (me). It definitely deserved to see the light of day, so hurrah!

Some have winced a tad about the animation not being 2D, which is fair enough, but the cel-shaded 3D characters are nice enough on the eyes, imo.

A likeable 7.5/10

I watched a film today (the summer book, an adaptation of a tove jansson book) and it was directed by charlie mcdowell, who'd i'd never heard of him before. anyway, he's apparently malcolm mcdowell's son, but also he somehow looks more like his dad than his dad ever did

Gawd, ves!

I watched a Woody Allen film. It was Bullets Over Broadway. I thought it was a lot of fun, but one of the themes of the film was 'can you separate the art from the artist', which was maybe a bit on the nose.
