desensitized43 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 2 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Yes but The class thing is actually massively exaggerated. There was hardly any class discrimination when it came to escaping except the logistical point that first class passengers were closer to the deck so naturally got out faster. The only real discrimination was gender, because of the women and children first command. You were far more likely to survive if you were a woman in third class than if you were a man in first class It also depended what side of the ship you were trying to get on a boat from. One side of the ship was being loaded by Lightoller who essentially interpreted the “women and children” first order as “no men” and stuck to it so rigidly he let boats go with loads of empty seats rather than letting on men who were stood right there. The other side was being supervised by someone who would let men get on when he couldn’t see any more women and children to load. I didn’t realise until listening to that rest is history podcast that lightoller was the basis for mark rylances character in Dunkirk. He captained his small boat over in 1940 to rescue soldiers from the beach. He was the highest ranking officer to get off the titanic. What a life.

Follyfoot Posted April 7 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7 At a bit of a lot this afternoon, so I stumbled across this. If you’ve not seen it, watch it absolutely brilliant, bonkers, batshit nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Kids had Wish on earlier, it's surprisingly off the mark, boring with a, weird animation style, just 90 minutes of nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Wife took the kids to see Ghostbusters Frozen Empire this morning whilst I was at work. They all really enjoyed it. No doubt I’ll watch it when it becomes available to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mixture of both - some of it was utterly cringey with some ropey CGI deployed on the opening fight scene involving Post (buffet) Malone… Connor McGregor managed to parody his most obnoxious self and hopefully is not destined for more acting credits! Jack Gyllenhaal is fine, if a little smarmy but his love interest clearly won a competition with Jewsons! Let’s face it, the original is not the greatest film but a bit of a cult favourite. It was 2hrs of entertainment but nothing to rave about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt I’ll watch it when it becomes available to stream. I'm a big big Ghostbusters fan and I think Frozen Empire was a mess. It's a massive letdown. They tried, but I think the writing is really lacking spark, and the pacing is terrible. It promises a lot but just does not deliver. The definition of sub par. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 8 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8 (edited) If Ti West manages to land this one, he could have one of the greatest horror trilogies ever on his hands. Can't bloody wait. Edited April 8 by Designer1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted April 9 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9 Saw Kung Fu Panda 4 in the cinema yesterday. Wish I hadn't bothered but my son liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_75 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 The Iron Claw, very good. I liked WWF in the late 80's early 90's (grown out of it now), so this film took me back. Its very well done and the performances are great. Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to leave space for someone with a big head and weak bladder to sit in front of you, could put the radio on as well to to try and create the "thrush" with an important telephone/conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 Somewhat surprised that Civil War is getting such mixed reviews. Saw it at IMAX today and thought it was great. Not perfect by any means but a thoughtful film with some really good set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like most of Garlands work, he's always interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
