No time wasting showing people getting into the mansion or how they got mushroom hats.

Haha yeah, but they had to keep it short for the kids and keep the pace up. Super Mario movie was better.

I’m really hoping the Zelda movie will be great.

I’d imagine most people going to see it would already know how Minecraft works too. I remember a friend coming back from the first ever PokĆ©mon movie going ā€˜No one talks for the first half an hour, it’s just PokĆ©mon speak, it was torture! Kids loved it.’

If you don’t know (which I expect you do!) I applaud Jared Hess! :rofl:

Sorry, what? a Zelda movie?

Hush my mouth, seems there is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29873948/

watched Novocaine last night

Not great, something to pass the time, one joked stretched for an entire movie. Although, suitably gross injuries

Of course Napoleon Dynamite is great but I LOVE Nacho Libre and when I realised Minecraft was Jared Hess as his name came up at the start and being Jack Black my hopes of Nacho Libre vibes grew! But no, fucking hated it. I admit, I don’t know alot about Minecraft apart from seeing my kids playing it and just thought it was a really cool game to explore caves and build crazy houses.

What made you hate it? What were you expecting?

I’m not saying you’re wrong to hate it, but I thought it was fun and enjoyable for a kids movie

The pig boss at the end asking him to come closer and pulling out knives really made me chuckle

I wasn’t expecting anything until I saw Jared’s name. I had not seen a trailer just had some free cinema tickets and the kids like Minecraft so we went.
It was just a melee of ridiculous over the top ideas that made no sense but not in a good way as silly comedy is what I like usually. The kids liked it and that’s all that matters, what I think is irrelevant but it was, in my eyes, a mish mash of ideas trying way too hard to be funny. The rest of the cinema was laughing so i’m in the minority.

Watched Flow last night, what a beautiful film. The world put me in mind of ICO, Last Guardian games.

In hindsight, this was the wrong film to watch while eating lamb. Tense, and pretty harrowing at points, but recommended.

Only criticism is that maybe Barry Keoghan is a bit too old now to be playing a teenager, he’s only 7 years younger than Christopher Abbot.

Any good? Which platform is it on?

Yeah I thought it was really good. Great acting, tense, bleak.

It’s on mubi, but I used the 7 day free trial via AppleTV+
