PieFacE Posted November 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2023 Also watched The Killer. It was good. Just not sure why anyone felt the need to make it. Especially Fincher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Fincher. That was my lingering thought after watching it. I thought it was OK, and thought Fassbender did well with very little dialogue, but I thought it was a total waste of Fincher's talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted November 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2023 Tickets booked for Thanksgiving and Saltburn this week. Two very different movies, but both looking worth the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume Netflix or whoever chucked a huge bag of cash at him for it. Seems an odd film for him to take on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2023 Watched the Green Knight tonight. I quite enjoyed it. I can absolutely see why some wouldn't - it's quite artsy and it tells what is, on the surface, a very simple story across some extended scenes and shots that make it have a fairly languid pace. So it's got lots of 'pretentious' points. And it is reasonably faithful as an adaptation of the Arthurian chivalric story its based on, which means it's essentially an extended fable and as such the plot isn't really the point. But it is very well done, very beautiful from both an art design and cinematography perspective, lots of good performances and very nice extensions and developments of the fundamental story to play with the themes and interpretations of what it's about. So yeah, not for everyone, but if it catches your fancy it's on Amazon Prime in 4k and will worth a couple of hours of your time, if you can stand some Arthurian fables.

villa4europe Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Didn't put this in the book thread cos I listened to it on Spotify in his full blown sexy voice but I recently listened to matthew mcconaughey book greenlights on Spotify so tonight I watched a time to kill, I've never seen it before, known about it for ages but never watched it, it's alright, it's a 7/10, it's too long, the klan stuff is over done but it's saved by several really good performances, it's basically a 2 and half hour wait for "what if she was white" it's watchable for sure Would say on MM I like him, his voice is incredible, his book is littered with bullshit, he like goes off on tangents about philosophy and God knows what else, he's a weirdo but when he narrows it down to the story of his life it's really good, he talks about his easy money rom com years, he has got chops in there somewhere to be fair to him, what I did like is how fondly he talks about reign of fire, good **** film 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GarethRDR Posted November 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2023 Reign Of Fire deserved way better then it got. Think it was Frailty that had me realising McConaughey was more than just "that guy in the terrible movies". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Designer1 Posted November 27, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2023 Went to see this tonight: Definitely going to be in my films of the year list. Very good psychological drama with yet another cracking performance from the mercurial Barry Keoghan. Two in a row from Writer/Director Emerald Fennel after the excellent Promising Young Woman. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Been getting into this whole "Giallo" thing lately (until two weeks ago I thought that was the name of a director!) Always been a horror fan but this is a very particular genre Watched Susperia, Opera, Tenebrae and Torso so far. All class (if weird) Open to any other suggestions form you proper movie guys 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
