We went to see it not knowing anything about it or even having seen the poster. Someone thought it was called ‘Wreck’ so our expectations were completely off. It’s starts out as a Spanish documentary about the fire service haha, and then all of a sudden it just goes completely mental.
That scene where they open the ceiling hatch, I think the entire audience shat themselves
yeah, that was full on fiill-yer-drawers stuff when that happened.
Sounds like Cabin in the Woods.
Ugh, that was just such a bad premise for a film. Total implausible nonsense.
Switchblade Romance had a similarly ridiculous twist in the end - nothing to do with time travel, just something that was almost deus ex machina, throwing a twist in for the sake of it.
Time to give Colour Out of Space a go, let’s see quite how Lovecraftian this is…
I liked it.
Dunno enough about lovecraft to say how lovecraftian it is mind.
Has anyone seen this new cut? I’m quite intrigued.
I am, too…but that article was weird. It ended with Sofia calling herself fat.
I say “weird” but “shit” is probably better.
Tell me about the re-edit as opposed to giving space for the lady to put herself down.
lol. so maybe she isn’t the respected opinion we need on this revision?
you are right…I’m not sure it’ll ever be that much better.
Although, I did watch the Alien 3 Assembly Cut which went off of Finchers notes as well as the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2 and both of those were a lot better…
I’ve heard that about Alien 3 as well, is it a version on a blu-ray/dvd?
It was an extra on the blu-ray, I believe.
I found a download out there in HD.
Anyone else think Tenet was pure shite? Was waiting to see it for ages and saw in IMAX. Just couldn’t get into it.
I’ve become obsessed with watching people eat in films. I picture the bucket that is next to them where they spit out their mouthfuls after each take and I just watch them chew and chew without swallowing. Just when they are about to swallow the scene cuts. Sometimes they just cut up the food constantly and move it around the plate. If there’s an eating scene in a film I internally go ‘oh god, here we go’. It totally takes me out of anything I’m watching and pretty much ruins any film for me.
Sorry, just had to get that out there.
Well cheers for ruining all movies for the rest of us then
Now You See It is a great YouTube channel.
My college tutor tried to convince us that Pulp Fiction was about food.
To be fair a lot of dialogue is based around food.
Starts in cafe.
The talk of burgers in the car.
The guy eating a big kahuna.
The $5 shake in the diner and that scene.
Bruce Willis making pop tarts.
The Wolf and his posh coffee.
Back in the cafe to end.
Every Frame a Painting is another one worth checking out - https://www.youtube.com/c/everyframeapainting/videos
Either you are baddiel and heck you kept that quiet or he lurks. Hi David.
Shit, is that today?
This is how rumours start.
I’ll add to that party scenes where the crowd is dancing. I only focus on them because I know they are dancing to silence and the music is added later.
OMG the worst actor for this is the guy who plays Howard in Big Bang Theory.
I’d like to point out I don’t enjoy that programme but I’ve seen it enough that I’ve clocked him poking around at his food enough for it to uncontrollably anger me. He just pokes around with the prongs of his fork, every so often he’ll load it up and move it up to his mouth only to put it back down and poke around at it again. EAT A MOUTHFUL
Very mixed opinions on that. When I watched it in the cinema after the first lockdown, the intro scene was just the sheer epic edge-of-seat cinematic experience I had been craving. It’s up there with some of the scenes from Sicario. Then, about halfway through the film, it definitely passed the point where I just gave up trying to understand what was going on and I just went along with it. I do admire some of the quite daring steps it made in terms of reverse fight scenes where they’re essentially fighting themselves, however there were also the more scaled-up action scenes where I honestly had no idea who was fighting or what was actually taking place. Even the bit right at the end where they went underground to obtain the capsule (?) - the climax was lost as it didn’t seem apparent if they’d succeeded.
Interestingly, it runs into the same territory of a film I watched at the weekend, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, where there was just too much to process with varying timelines running through one another, and so, the actual plot becomes secondary to the individual scenes. It’s then I just cease trying to make sense and just enjoy each bit as its own entity rather than part of a larger composite.
A major gripe with Tenet was I couldn’t actually understand what was being said half the time. The sound mixing was really bad. Regardless, as the cinema contained a whopping four other people in the same screen, I was just stoked to have an entire row to myself in my near-private cinema theatre.
While I’m here. Best film of 2020 - Portrait of a Lady on Fire
