Films

“Massive Racist” was the nickname of a totally unracist colleague...will have to check if he liked the film.

Will watch the rest

Oh really? It's actually stuck with me a lot, I think it might be a bit of a classic in a few years time.

Just unpacked my box of DVDs, my collection is literally just The Sopranos, films about skateboarding chimps and Russian sci-fi. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Yeah you daft prick, all that should be Blu-ray or high def download by now.

I don't know, but I can definitely tell you what's wrong with your collection. :)

You're right, Hard To Be A God is a bit of a slog.

The Fundamentals of Caring on Netflix is a good watch. Enjoyed it a lot.

Mud, madness and mumbling :)

Somehow made it through the Old Guard on Netflix.

Let my mistake be a lesson to you all.

What a load of old toss, eh? You tried Mortal Engines yet? A different kind of old toss but at least it was ridiculous enough to be enjoyable on some level... Don't know how these projects get production budgets... 🤷‍♂️

I thought it was fine, shit but fine and a bit of fun, but I like all the resident evil films.

Much like this warrior nun shite I'm watching on Netflix.

That is also appalling, I find the voiceover stuff in it really annoying, I'm still watching it tho'... Started Cursed yesterday, even more twaddle...

You tried Mortal Engines yet?

Nope, and I doubt I will because for whatever reasons I hate new shit films so much more than old shit films so next time I want mindless junk I'll put on American Ninja 4.

'Freaks' on Netflix.

Totally miss-sold as horror in the trailer. Terrible plot with a dreadful ending but not a bad way to waste some time.

The voiceover stuff really grates but there's less of it as it goes on. Cursed is next on my list of vaguely fun shite.

They've thrown a ton of cash at it, it's absolutely ludicrous but makes for a diverting couple of hours...

I'm watching At First Light again, OH hasn't seen it, it's got UFOs in it, what's not to like?

Her voice is very annoying, maybe because it's so strangely deep for a pint sized adolescent and her character is a bit of a smartarse prick...

I haven't seen 5 Fingers of Death or Unfaithfully Yours, but that is a pretty good selection of films. Fairly mainstream choice of directors though.

Btw, Taxi Driver is my number 1 film, jointly with Random Harvest...

I thought the acting / pacing saved it, unfortunately plot was nothing original, I watched it hoping for something newish.

Movies I expected to hate but didn't

Her: borderline hipster romance movie (not my genre) about a guy who can't let go of his ex, and signs up for a trial with a true AI os. Rich people. Computer bs. And yet good acting and some interesting ideas.

The colour out of Space: I love the original story and Nick Cave...cha. But engaging enough and not a bad watch.

Dumb and Dumberer: Slacker movies are not my genre and Jim Carrey, meh. However it's better written than I thought, takes the piss out of several movie tropes and the dead bird joke is genius.

Yeah I worked for the casting director at the time. Few years ago now.

Eurovision:story of fire saga, on Netflix is a fun, feel good film for a lazy Sunday. I’m not a big fan of Will Ferrell but I enjoyed this one a lot.

Watching Hyena right now. It’s not fun but very compelling. Not sanitised and reminds me of a number of unsavoury people I have known.
