The movies it parodied (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer) were fantastic movies in themselves. Although it kind of missed the point that Scream was a send up/parody in itself.

lapal_fan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Baby Driver - it's cool or whatever, but it's so far up it's own bum you can see the back of Edgar Wrights teeth. Yes Edgar, we know you've seen 70s car chase films. That bit with the red cars and him swapping them about under the bridge made me sick. The ending was particularly bad and 80s/90s action flick "back from the dead X3" bad. Obviously Kevin Spacey wins. Baby was a cool cat. Jamie Fox was just really bad person Jones mk2, but still good. The couple were pretty garbage and the deaf black bloke was a cool cat. A few nice ideas made it tolerable, but there was some stuff in it which didn't make me laugh with it's cheesiness, it made me annoyed at how stupid Edgar Wright assumes his audience is. So on that basis I've got to give it a solid ***9.5/10*** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was listening to the news on the radio earlier. All the headlines you'd expect. Brexit, Storm Ophaelia, Somalia. Then the final story was a mention that this trailer had been released. WTF? How is this on the news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Ex-Hurricane..... That will be a storm then Off topic, but this is exactly the problem with "dumbing down" of news. There will be people walking around saying "ex-hurricane" now - and that information is passed on until it becomes normal. If the news companies are worried about people not knowing what a hurricane is, then they've failed in reporting what it is. People are so lazy now that if they don't understand something, they tend to ignore it, so the news gets dumbed down to their level so they understand it. Drives me crazy.

Chindie Posted October 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thor: Ragnarok reviews are in. Generally positive, it's being described as Marvel's first out and out comedy and is apparently very funny. The criticism mostly seems to be that the film is very light, and very silly. I can't deny being somewhat disappointed to hear they've gone full bore comedy. I'd hoped they'd balance a plot with a bit more drama, simply because you can do really cool stuff with the Ragnarok plot with some weight. Still, looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Saw Blade Runner 2049 last night and absolutely loved it. Beautiful to look in each environment. Great pacing and good dialogue. Just one question: Spoiler If Niander Wallace is so desperate to get info from Deckard about the child. How come he can just walk around in town at the end of movie and doesn't need to go into hiding. I know Joe had just killed Wallace's assistant "Love" but wouldn't Wallace be able to send someone else after him? On another not I loved that they kept PanAm and Atari adverts in the BR universe. They didn't use companies from our present times. Overall a great nudge to consider the questions of what are we, why do we exist and how do you define consciousness and existence. Mr. Dick would have been proud. Edited October 19, 2017 by TheAuthority Spellin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the trailer before BladeRunner along with the trailer for "Geostorm" Couldn't decide which one looked worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be being hunted because he's assumed dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
