Last movie watched...

I finally caught The Road on TV the other night - I enjoyed it but I found the ending a little underwhelming, there wasn't much of a narrative arc to the film, he just lay down and died and then it ended.

Legend, the (true) story of two downtrodden cockneys trying to revitalize the nightclub industry. It's not bad, quite funny in places and a bit violent. If I had one criticism to make it would be the romanticized view of what were actually a pair of right horrible Cunts. Far Better than the "Kemps" version.

Cheers

A lot grittier than that one Ridley Scott made with Tom Cruise, though. Worst movie depiction of London ever.

Cheers!

I was half way through googling that  before I got the gag.  It was like they filmed half of it south of the river.

Clearly you've never lived in Wembley South.

Who, uh, who hasn't seen ROTJ that would also be bothered by spoilers of it at this point?

That thought occurred to me.

But I did it anyway as I remembered someone on here mentioning he never got round to seeing it.

Having been on a bit of an Aliens binge recently, K remembered an old fan film I once watched called Batman Dead End. It's effectivly a fan film addaptation of Batman/Predator with the Xenomorphs shoved in for good measure. It's probably as good as fan films get, and actualy put's a lot of hollywood movies with insanely bigger budgets go to shame.

I saw a film with a posho english lass running around with a rather podgy bloke who didn't really seem like  anyone should trust him at all but they all did for some reason. And then their was this annoying Jersey Shore hot shot that stank the place out with his bro'ness but thankfully he wasn't in it much. Add to that some annoying electronic twerpin' and a man in black crying all the time and I thought it was pretty poor.

Re watched a couple of old faves with tiny Tips and he thought they were great.

MILLERS CROSSING
My favourite Con brothers movie. Gabriel Byrne has never been better and Turturro is excellent but there are a ton of genius performances in the supporting cast.

I know the popular theory is that hat equals helmet protecting his brains and feelings but I also think it's a very literal representation of gangsterness.

RESERVOIR DOGS
"Somebody's sticking a poker up our ass and I want to know whose name is in the handle."
Nothing Tarantino has done since has, for me, matched the tight focus of this story about storytelling (and a heist gone wrong).

It's funny 'cos it isn't even vaguely true.

What isn't true?

I don't really want to get involved in some debate as I'm not that invested in the franchise but aside from one last hurrah for one character, which was great, I thought it was a dull uninteresting and often annoying movie that didn't work for me not least for the reasons above but for a great many more as well.

That others enjoyed it is fine with me. I'm not against people really liking stuff.

[TordelBack]

Oh, sorry BPP: it's entirely true, especially the bits about Boyega being fat, and Issacs being a Jersey Shore 'bro'.  Happy now?

[BPP]

I'm always happy, its my natural state.

From your description I had absolutely no idea what movie you were talking about.
