3 idiots
A 2 cents movie for dizzy chicks and "let's have a drink " generation, smart enough for those who have finished college in recent years and the ever-present love story for americans (who swore off that, except them, all are drug addicts), but also for romantic kiddos who fall in love whenever they see an iphone or a benefit card.
You didn't provide a link , so who are the other two idiots?Quote:

Well, I'm not an idiot, if you are really interested! :mellow:
You've just created a conditional statement, so I'd say he's not interested.Quote:

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
First let me state I wish that I had access to the same drugs that the people who gave it a 7.6 on IMDB have because those must be seriously good hallucinogens.
This movie isn't just bad, it's Heroes Reborn level bad. It's beyond my comprehension how someone like Guy Ritchie who has already made a bunch of films one and two of which are not even painful to sit through can be so oblivious to what actually makes a movie good.Like characters you have some investment in and action that isn't simply there so some wank director can put in a bunch of his "signature" shots which do little but function to obscure what little is taking place.
Also the writing is truly horrible as I assume it was intended to be a spy movie but plays more like a mystery if a mystery is what you call a bunch of shite gags connected by not telling the audience what is actually going on.And it certainly isn't helped by the fact that there is no tension/drama/excitement since the ending is a given.
You can say that's just the trap of something like this but oddly neither Bond nor Bourne seem to have the same problem.
Lastly this is literally the first movie that I can remember where the music actually detracted from the experience.It's incessant and ill-fitting and I get the distinct impression that Richie put it in there to take the place of and not accentuate the actual story.
In short,fuck you guy Richie.First Sherlock Holmes and now Napoleon Solo.May you rot in the particularly vile hell reserved for child molesters and shitty directors with delusions of grandeur.
Also for marrying Madonna because that's just wrong.
PS I'm convinced that this movie has intentionally gay undertones which wouldn't bother me nearly as much if it was not the Man but the Girl from U.N.C.L.E.
How far into the thing did you know you would have to decompress with a rant to alleviate your suffering if you continued?Quote:

Third question, :naughty:
I'm no rocket scientist but I assume it's something along the lines of .... Ever have a scab?Ever pick at that scab?Ever continue to pick at that scab even though you knew that you were only going to make matters worse?
Anyway the precise moment besides Guy Richie's name being attached to it that I knew this was all going to shit was about ten minutes in during what was suppose to be a car chase and the director did his lame sudden zoom in change of perspective crap that showed that everything was cg/bluescreened and immediately took you out of the reality of the scene.
Geez even Marvel which has evolved into little more than an evil conglomeration of bankers, knows enough that you have to root the hero in a sense of reality.
Throw in all the jokes you want, a bumbling sidekick or three and have a villain who is given to bwwahahaing and petting a white cat but the hero needs to play it real.
Did I mention that Richie set up a confrontation between some bad guys and Kuryakin and then instead of showing it decided to a static shot on an overused hotel room set and talk about it instead?
Again no rocket scientist but in genre movies like this I think the fight is the entire point.
Or when the time come for this big island invasion like in You Only Live Twice and then decides to cut in multi-screen to take you out of the action as much as possible? But cool edgy directing huh?
Or like when they break into a safe and one says "what about the alarm" and the other says "there's no alarm on this model" and then ..beat.. the alarm goes off?
Or the whole thing is set in the '60's and the seeming only reasoning behind that is so the macho super spies can talk about fashion?
If by matters worse you mean the bleeding, I have found that a paper towel is a sufficient remedy, and it's out of mind in a few minutes. You are purposely injuring your psyche. Now, I've done that too, and I still regret it.
Want to go see Star Wars together? We can make it a date. I'm open to pizza before or after, but I'd do away with blow jobs.
Spectre (2015)
Paid 5 pounds for the ticket + soda and popcorn; I intend to lodge a complaint to Bureau of Consumer Protection to get my 5 pounds back for this piece of shit that I saw.
Seems that you're not alone.Quote:

When even the 16 year old Taylor Swift fans turn against you, you know good and certain that you've produced a monumental pile a shit.
Seriously though,who the fuck decides to re-reinvent something when all the praise the Bond franchise has gotten the last few years is because it was stripped down and had moved away the Roger Moore type stupidity.
I'd gotten wind of Spectre sucking, but am disappointed to learn how crappy Man from UNCLE turned out. Was planning to watch that soon. Vikander is one of my favorite females.
Since the reboot of the series with Goldeneye, I have managed to see every Bond film in the theater in November. I even kept with the tradition after Craig was named the new Bond. I still managed to go see Skyfall on a whim after not enjoying his first two showings. In two days, I'll break this cycle. I'm not sure what would have happened if I had convenient access to a cinema, but I'm done.
I can imagine that the only way I'll ever watch it is if it went available for streaming on Netflix.
I think I'm posting a review of not watching a film.
So what you're saying is as far as you know, not much happened.
Btw I hate spam so let's try to stay on toe pick.
The Gift.Not to be confused with The Gift.
Good movie.At least one of them.I'm guessing the one with the lower IMDB rating because I've noticed that's how things work.
As far as I know, I don't know.Quote:

One was made pre 2000 so there are tits and an actual plot instead of stuff just occasionally happening.The other was made post 2000 and since it's not a TV show on some sort of premium service and doesn't involve ghey people there are no tits or plot.Quote:

It gets even more confusing when you factor in that there is a third film called The Gift which is actually about ghey people yet as as far as I know not on TV and involves no Australians.
In a totally related note I just discovered that Joel Edgerton auditioned for the role of Ty-Zor in McG's "now-aborted" version of Superman.
The fact that McG's version of Superman never got made makes Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin sad as it must now remain as the worse superhero movie ever.:(
Although the viewing audience appreciates a coherent and fleshed out narrative, once it was discovered that we'd pay just to watch explosions for 90 min, such efforts became expendable. I stick with TV now because it's a much better moving picture medium for story telling. I always had a deeper appreciation for a film series over singular films. Bond might be an example, but Zatoichi is an even better example because there's no amnesia between films. This modern growth of, respect for, and investment into television we've been seeing over the past 15 years, I'm a fan.Quote:

The Hateful Eight (2015) Is this finally the movie that reveals that the emperor has no clothes?
It's increasingly clear that unlike the title credits say, Quentin Tarantino hasn't made eight movies he's only made two - Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs repeated seven times.
Take a cast of reprehensible characters throw them into a tale involving revenge, spruce it up with a bunch of long-winded dialogue that while itself may be entertaining does nothing to move the story along and end everything with a bloodbath and you're good to go.
I mean, seriously sometime during the course of this three hour edifice to poor editing I lost track if I was watching The Hateful Eight or Django or Inglorious Basterds.
Not a bad film, just an utterly disappointing one.
I just finished it about an hour ago, and even being a Tarantino fan, thought this one was too similar to Reservoir Dogs- even with snow and cowboy costumes. There's been anticipation for its release for like 3 years, and isn't much more than a shiny play.
It was entertaining, but isn't the 'great' film I was so eager to see. A couple of the actors pulled off some great performances, while a few others hammed it up too much.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is getting a lot of love for her performance but personally I think it's more the character and her being willing to commit to the part which basically every actor should be willing to do.
Liked Walton Goggins though as his character had more of an arc and he managed to bring a bit of likability to a man who was ostensibly a racist which was important to that role.
Also thought the highly praised cinematography was nothing special but then again I wasn't seeing it in 70 mm.
Stihl, she did a good jawb innit. I also liked Sammy J's character (I'm allowed to call him that because he won't ever read this)- not really a stretch, but a solid leed.
I think the cinnamon toggery is mostly aimed at bedazzling peoples who don't get to see snow very often. 70mm snow is still just bright snow. May bee I needed to see 3D snow to be fooly impressed.
The "be a linguistic asshole and irritate the fuck out of me" department seems to be some sort of transmittable virus.Either that or you've had a stroke.
You definitely cum across as the gel ass type. :snooty:Quote:

Spectre (2015) Might very well be the worst Bond film ever.
You know something is terribly wrong when you've seen Bond barrel roll a car over a river and go toe to toe with a komodo dragon and yet still not approach how contrived,unconvincing and something I thought I'd never say, unexciting the stunts in this film are.
It's also far too long and tediously talky and maybe worst of all there's a real sense of disconnect between the audience and what is happening onscreen.
It certainly doesn't help that by trying to marry the old to the new they've managed to do a real disservice to both.
In short, a Bond movie only suitable for non-Bond fans which is just as misguided as it sounds.
PS In full disclosure I fast forwarded through some of it which until now I never had the inclination to do with any other Bond film, even the shite ones.
PPS Sam Smith as a choice of theme songwriter basically sums it up.
Maybe I'll watch Creed or maybe at this point I'll just do the judicious thing and give up on films altogether.
Watched "Warccraft" just yesterday and it was pretty boring, dialogs are lame even action isn't so good as I expected it to be. LOTR still a lot better even especially knowing it was filmed 10+ years ago.
Believe it or not i just read this post Idol:)Quote:

PS. To me it was entertaining, best bond NO!!.... What would be your best bond Fiic???
For me Live and Let Die would be up there, as well as Goldfinger
Spectre - normally I love bond series but this...I I expected more after "casino royal" and "skyfall" :(
Hardcore Henry made me nauseous
That new Independence Day flick (thanks to cabbie, I think, in NZB section). Was much much better than I expected, OK cheese factor was there and is after all a sequel so I didn`t expect much but was really very watchable. Wouldn`t pay money to go and see it but for sofa watching not at all bad
Suicide Squad - DC movies usually get a bad rap, and truthfully, I was a little worried knowing Will Smith was in it, but he did a great job. The movie as a whole wasn't great, but it is worth seeing if you haven't
the last movie i saw and enjoyed was Zombieland 2009 ... i enjoyed that movie way more than any of the usual crap ....
So I watched 2 Jennifer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4627224/). The movie is shot on the phone and would make a great movie for your final film project in university.
But the acting was great. There are some really good actors in that movie.
Has anyone seen it?
the last movie i watched in my laptop was Noah i think , not bad . emma watson making love was an awesome scene . reminded of a dream of mine i had . but i dont like that part where noah gets all angry and pissed of at his children
:sad1:
Central Intelligence - overall it was an amusing little number. Both actors did well in their respective roles though the humor in the script was mostly flat, trite and sophomoric. It occasionally was more crass than it needed to be but I guess that's what people see as humor nowadays. That being said, it was fun to see Dwayne Johnson play a goof while towering over Hart. Out of 5 I'd give it a 3 and say put it on your netflix queue for the someday watch. Certainly not worth paying full price to see it.
"Hacksaw Ridge"... should win the Best Picture Oscar® at the Academy Awards®.
(My pick, have a look. 'nuff said.) :alien:
I loved some of it, even shed a tear but Gibson took some stuff way too far like the riding on the back of makeshift gurney firing a machine gun. Also the bit of really over the top, blatant, totally unnecessary religious imagery near the end demonstrates that he's still a nutjob.Quote:
