Granted English is not his first language but still seems a poor actor. He was the worst thing in the last Bond film and that says a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 10 hours ago, sne said: Lords of Chaos was as expected. On it's own it's not a bad movie, but it strays a bit from the truth of what really happened (just like the book) and there is some strange choices made from Åkerlund. Like for example making Varg Vikernes chubby. Even with some grim scenes it's no where as dark as the true events were and it feels a bit like any other "starting a band/rise to fame" movie, which is a bit off considering. Still, if you are into black metal and interested in this story (it's a fascinating one) you might like it, or hate it I'm not sure, it's very uneven 6/10? I'm not much of a Black Metal fan, but the story of Mayhem and Dead's suicide (and it's subsequent effect on the people close to him and literally an entire genre of music) really is fascinatingly grim. And frost bitten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Quite enjoyed Bad Times at the El Royale. good cast, interesting concept regardless being in a similar vein to a Tarantino plot, in that 5 strangers converge on an old motel each with their own history. It's worth watching. Edited February 25, 2019 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Think 'Green Book' winning over 'The Favourite' is going to be seen later as one of the all-time travesties TBFH. Certainly it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 i turned the favourite off because it really wasnt my thing, the green book on the other hand i loved* same as a few years back i thought moonlight and la la land were both boring as **** and if you asked the question what the worst best picture winner was a lot would point to crash but i really liked that film, too much of it is about timing and whether its gained the hype (or if its blatantly an oscar baiting film) * i watched green book before some of this written by a white man about a white man stuff came out, i've seen a fair few people since moaning that ali is the supporting actor rather than the lead, probably have a point even if im not completely buying in to what spike lee is selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Alita Battle Angel. Another one of those movies made possible by the development in graphics and what not. Just like Mortal Engines and Ready Player One it looks pretty good, but probably doesn't do the source material justice. (Not read any of them) Out of the 3 I probably rate Ready Player One highest, not by any big margin thou. For Alita I was just waiting for the bigger arch to develop, but it didn't happen so the film just ended and that was it. The whole film was pretty much a set up for a sequel, but no idea if one is coming. On it's own this one was pretty but forgettable. 6/10 Sunday hangover movie.

Designer1 Posted February 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2019 @Pelle here's a question for you mate regarding the Fred flick. It's not bad movie (a bit too fluffy for a bio for me but that's another discussion) but...did you think that Malek actually sounded (as in when speaking) like Freddie? I've watched a fair few interviews with FM and I thought Malek was way off. In fact he sounded more like George from Rainbow which was a little off putting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice was a bit too raspy, if that's a word. He didn't look very much like him either, of course. But he gave a good impression of being Freddie, I think. Gilym Lee and Joe Mazzello were the ones who most looked like the one they were playing. Gwilym more or less was Brian, both in looks and how he sounded and how he acted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re sat outside on a patio of a bar/pub/restaurant, a record company man (I assume) turns up and says “so you’re queen, and YOU must be Freddie Mercury”. Roger looks at Brian, Brian looks to John, John looks at Freddie, Freddie looks back at the record company man....that sort of thing.

Thought it was the PC where the journalists have a go at Freddie all the time. Never saw anything special in that scene that bothered me, but maybe I'll get the BOF syndrome now it's mentioned. It's their manager John Reid, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
