What about the bit where a British guy convinces an American guy that he’s not actually a German guy but a fellow American guy, but it then turns out later that the second American guy never believed the British guy playing a German guy was actually an American guy and so he sellotaped a glock to his back and what was it you say, “Yippie Kay ay….really bad person?” “Uhuhhh” “uhhuhuhuh” “ahahaha” “ahahahhhahhaaha” “HOLLY!” Edited December 25, 2021 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Been catching up on various films recently as I look after an angry baby in the evenings. Watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse last night for the first time. It’s genuinely excellent. Beautiful visuals, consistently funny, interesting characters. Would also be very family friendly. Watched Shang-Chi. It was pretty good but I’ve largely forgotten it 48 hours later. Rewatched Starship Troopers again to see if it was as good as I remember. It’s still as brilliant and ridiculous as when I first saw it, holds up pretty well for a film nearly 25 years old now! Perhaps less family friendly than Spiderverse though. Might try and watch Matrix 4 next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was expecting a straight up disaster movie so it was very jarring for a while. 're watching through the satire lens will be very profitable. Glad you stuck with it!

theboyangel Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Just started to watch Last Night In Soho by Edgar Wright - very promising start and a cracking 60s soundtrack. Edit - finished it now and whilst there's some clunky bits in the final third, it's a really stylish and decent horror/thriller. A good follow up to Baby Driver and his Cornetto trilogy - it'll be interesting to see what Edgar Wright does next.

Rds1983 Posted December 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2021 Watching Don't Look Up on Netflix. Pretty good and humorous, if depressing accurate portrayal of how the World might end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I think back to an actually good film (Matrix 1) and there’s just no comparison. I liked new Morpheus and new Smith though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was brilliant as a kid, but very dated these days. Didn’t enjoy it as much and she thought it was crap . Some things are best left in childhood memories. wasn’t it originally based on villa making there way back from the sty Edited December 26, 2021 by Rugeley Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting the satire to be a bit too blunt but it is a solidly good film. The most feelgood part of it is how much takes the piss out of the Elon Musk character, I'd say it will bruise his ego a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
