Fantastic Just got back from it myself. What a movie! First time I've ever come out of a film wishing I'd had a notepad to jot down my thoughts as it was going along. "Here's modern life contrasted with existentialism, through the eyes of prime Vic and Bob". Bonkers and profound all in one. Also, massive props to The Light Cinema in Stockport. The £50 offer got us a pizza each, a bottle of wine and 2 tickets. It's a great environment anyway, with the added bonus of luxury screens upstairs. They're about to open bowling, a proper arcade and a karaoke room in there too. And you can drink booze during the film, even though it's not a little boutiquey place. Very impressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Top Gun is such a nostalgic film for me. I'm scared of seeing the new but also happy to go with the cheese if it sits well. I don't want a serious film. I want an action flick with entertaining scenes that feels like it fits in the same world. If I wanted serious, I'd be wanting a film about how Van Damme went from a shower to the Kumite. Like what planes and trains he went on. Instead I got one of the best fighting films ever.

It's big, it's dumb but it's entertaining and is definitely suited to the big screen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) The gap between the two Top Guns (1986-2022) is more than 10 years than the Hustler (1961) and The Color of Money (1986) co-staring a young Tom Cruise. In that Newman was a old man whereas Tom still looks basically the same. Edited June 1, 2022 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s playing a “faded, ageing movie star”. Leigh was 48 at the time. Bottom picture is Faye Dunaway in Columbo, 1993. Basically playing a femme fatale, turning every male character’s head whenever she enters the room. Dunaway was 52 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Was Janet Leigh a smoker? Newman was a heavy smoker and that ages anyone, even if were a big moviestar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted June 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Just got back from the new Alex Garland movie... It's...certainly an interesting and original one. I did enjoy it even though I have to say I didn't understand it fully. I feel a couple of repeat watches might be in order. Definitely going to be a marmite movie, as I can see some people hating it (especially the final third).
