I don't understand what I've just written.

Despite my lifelong Schwarzenegger fandom I have only seen the first Conan film, only once, and I didn't like it very much

And I've seen The Villain! And Stay Hungry!

according to the wikipedia page i just read, schwarzenegger considers red sonja to be the woest film he ever made

Post by **dng** » Tue May 25, 2021 6:32 pm

so you should watch that

Post by **vom** » Tue May 25, 2021 6:33 pm

I should

I think The 6th Day is probably the worst one I've seen

Unless you include Hercules in New York which is the "worst" but is amazing

I still listen to the soundtrack while driving sometimes.

I was going to watch a Conan last night but none of them seem to be streaming so instead I watched SCI-FIGHTERS, a Canadian b-movie about Roddy Piper chasing a space-rapist who has escaped from the moon.

It was good, obviously

So that's where those Q-nuts got that space-paedo conspiracy from!

It sounds rather good, that. I reckon all Roddy Piper films should feature a very long, semi-improvised fight scene. Even if it's a twee romantic comedy or a documentary about Albert Einstein.

Soul

Oh no Pixar put all of my favourite things into one film and broke me forever

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Mon May 31, 2021 8:22 pm

Soul is brilant. My son loved it.

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Mon May 31, 2021 8:24 pm

I watched Army of the Dead. It is one of the worst films I've ever seen. So disappointing.

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Mon May 31, 2021 8:25 pm

I took my boy to the cinema for the first since I don't know when.

We watched Wolfwalkers. It is amazing. So beautiful and smart and imaginitive. And the music is great.

Post by **dng** » Tue Jun 01, 2021 10:06 am

Yes, its wonderful. I loved it

Post by **richschnauzer** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 12:13 pm

Theatre of Blood is on Amazon Prime so I gave it a go. Vincent Price and Arthur Lowe? Outstanding.

Post by **richschnauzer** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 12:18 pm

also the disguise that Diana Rigg uses as a man looks just like that Jeff Lynne as a dog meme.

Post by **vom** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:11 pm

I think that's my favourite of all the Vincent Price films that I've seen, and I've seen Quite A Lot

Wonderful stuff

Post by **dng** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:32 pm

Yes. It's brilliant. You should also watch the abominable dr phibes if its on there, as its exactly the same as theatre of blood, but this time vincent price has a band of robons who play music for him in his lair all the time

magnificent

Post by **vom** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:55 pm

I just watched the Peter Jackson King Kong, which I had never seen for some reason

Andy Serkis' grizzled seaman is the best character in anything ever

Bit long though innit

I think only the second Dr Phibes film is on there currently (for free)

Post by **dng** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 8:28 pm

the second phibes one is a bit crap (but still fun)

Post by **dng** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 8:29 pm

no robons though

Post by **vom** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 8:31 pm

yeah the first one is much better

He is clearly very much committed to it, even in scenes where you think he'd restrict himself, such as when the vagrants find him in the river.

Post by **vom** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 8:36 pm

I think he said it was his favourite of his own roles

Madhouse is another really good one from that era with similar vibes

i've got a week or whatever of disney plus, and i watched wandavision today, which is a marvel superheroes thing about the scarlet witch, which initially is framed as being a different tv sitcom parody every episode (bewwitched, dick van dyke show, some others). anyway its an absolutely pointless big ball of absolute nothing, that squanders any decent ideas it might have had completely so it can have end with two of absolutely the most boring hours of anything ever, most of which are essentially adverts for upcoming marvel tv/films, like always. shite

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:09 pm

its basically one of those episodes of star trek where riker or someone gets stuck in a hallucination, but 5 hours long, the last two of which are data and another data having a fist fight in a library, while troi and an evil troi throw fireballs at each other in the sky

the above paragraph might contain spoilers

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:10 pm

also actually the very last episode of deep space nine was basically that, but even worse, so maybe i shoul djust shut up

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:11 pm

also i thought as they had all the 20th century fox things on disney plus now i could watch alien in super hd or something, but it turns out the only alien film they have on there is prometheus

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:12 pm

also there's two more marvel tv series on there but i think i've had enough now. maybe i will watch that stars wars series instead

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:12 pm

that everyone keeps telling me to watch

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:13 pm

but which i don't want to watch because its star wars and star wars upsets me

Gravid · Post by **Gravid** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:27 pm

It has to be better than watching a Marvel series though.

Gravid · Post by **Gravid** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:28 pm

I agree with everything you said about Wandavision. It started off seeming like an interesting and intriguing TV show, and then just became like any other Marvel film.

my nephew absolutely loves ewoks, but i'm not sure my sister has subjected him to the ewoks films yet

I can't quite bring myself to watch them yet as they can't possibly compare to my beautiful thirty five year old memories

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:40 pm

yes. we got it out on video for one of my birthdays once and it was definitely the most magical of all my birthday party choices at the video shop (joint with krull)

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:40 pm

i have never seen the other ewok film and never will

Lucas also hired Bob Carrau, the nanny of his children, to co-write the story with him.[3]

Hmmmmm

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:45 pm

are you suggesting george lucas's children came to one of my birthday parties

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:45 pm

because i'm not sure they did

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:57 pm

I am glad I have resisted watching any of the Marvel TV shows. The Mandalorian is pretty good fun though

But if I had Disney+ for a week I'd just watch Soul a bunch of times because it's lovely
