The woman who plays guinevere in this was in prometheus too

I watched 24 Hour Party People last week, in which he played Ian Curtis and I just decided he stunk up the screen really. Not enough charisma or presence. Plus he's one of those actors who thinks that dialogue is delivered through a motionless mouth and jaw.
Think he was in Prometheus too as one of the biologists, the one with the centipede

There's some very nice stuff in there.

I watched the French Dispatch last Monday. I thought it was technically lovely and charming and beautiful, but I didn't feel very invested in any of what was happening.

Also I watched Dune today, which I thought was great, even if it only feels like half a film.

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 01, 2021 4:07 pm

It's okay they're going to make the second half of that dune film in three years time or something

Gravid · Post by **Gravid** » Mon Nov 01, 2021 10:51 pm

Yes. I will have forgotten absolutely everything that happened by then.

I can't wait until every book adaptation receives a 3-hour feature film for each single chapter

Excellent. I've never heard of that before and it sounds brilliant

I hadn't either, but it's brilliant. And made me want to live in a dive hotel and drink beer and wine at the same time to prove that I'm from New Orleans

shang chi - marvel martial arts film about a man who is secretly very good at martial arts who has to fight his dad, who is tony leung for some reason

Post by **dng** » Wed Nov 17, 2021 11:29 pm

this had some good bits in it and some bad bits in it and also some terrible bits in it with characters from other marvel films appearing for no apparent reason or need. it was a marvel film alright

Post by **dng** » Wed Nov 17, 2021 11:31 pm

except that the last half hour this time was basically a cutscene from final fantasy instead of a cutscene from all the previous marvel films you've already seen

Post by **dng** » Wed Nov 17, 2021 11:34 pm

anyway tony leung might be in his 60s now but he's still the sexiest man who has ever lived

I like how Marvel has so thoroughly exhausted all its iconic characters and decided to put all its chips on scraping up a handful of the most generic superheroes possible and throwing them at us with zero introduction, presumably on the logic of "but you'll watch it for two minutes of Captain America or whoever"

An Unicorn · Post by **An Unicorn** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 8:18 am

They're probably right though

Post by **Pual** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 11:03 am

They’ve not made captain Britain yet

Post by **Pual** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 11:04 am

Captain Britain is played by Tim Martin off of wetherspoons

Post by **dng** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 12:30 pm

My brother informed me they had captain Britain in some recent marvel cartoon series. Instead of being from maldon, he was captain americas girlfriend from the first captain America film

Post by **Pual** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 2:03 pm

Instead of being from Maldon he was scared of bees

This Marvel film consists of Captain Britain travelling the length and breadth of the UK, delivering fiery public speeches on the evils of the EU to always large and rapturous audiences.

Running time: 3hrs 5 minutes.

NOTE: THERE ARE NO POST-END CREDIT 'BLOOPERS', BECAUSE FILMING WENT PERFECTLY TO PLAN!!!

I think the world needed a gangster film starring Willie Thorne, and with the production values of Crossroads.

I enjoyed reading that earlier, Vom.

I loved the film when I was a kid, as a spotty youth, as a borken middle aged mans, and when I'm a ghost!

This week I watched Rebecca, because I read the book last week. Anyway the film was pretty good (although the film was better). Also I'm stuck watching all the rest of the films in my parents extensive collection of hitchcock boxset, so i've also watched vertigo (pretty amazing) and notorious (completely amazing)

hooray for hitchcock
