  • It's the forthcoming films and TV thread...innit.

I did that but it was so good that we ended up watching from the first episode again. So good, loads of stuff I missed on the first watch.

Strong start to the new season.

Nothing like it on TV. Love it. Especially as I work in an office for a large multinational company and they nail the ridiculousness of it all, like at the end of S1 when Milchick was trying to break in and stop Dylan and attempted to bribe him to stop with a coffee cup warmer …..

Warfare-reviews are out, and almost all positive. The negative ones seem to focus on the movie not having a message. Which seems a bit pointless if the idea was to show one battle in real time.

The co-director Ray Mendoza was in that battle.

I’m really excited for this film.

Amps seems a little different than that, if it is then hope it’s better than the John Carpenter remake of Village of the Damned. Not one of his better efforts.

    One of King’s best stories is finally getting an adaptation. Looks like it doesn’t shy away from the violence. Otherwise filming this would have been pointless.

      Homegrove worried it’s the same director as The Hunger Games - what a load of tripe those films are

          Homegrove I think some things best left on a page after watching that. It’s probably King’s best work but that trailer isn’t giving me great vibes

              Homegrove Not sure I want to watch it. Thought the book was power.

                BFI is releasing Human Traffic on 4K Blu ray. I am now wondering how much I would pay for nostalgia. You can’t legally watch said movie in any form in Finland at the moment. Unless you find an old DVD at a flea market.

                  alistair I don’t know what to make of that?! Gets decent reviews and will go and watch it - hope it isn’t one of those Nicolas Cage films.

                      Along_the_Wire I’ll give it a go. Looks like a subversive Point Break? I am sucker for a weird Cage Indie flick. Did you see Pig?

                          Along_the_Wire yep, excellent film, very funny. My all time fave Cage performance is Leaving Las Vegas. Seen it several times, and it’s still heart wrenching.

                              You guys should give Dream Scenario a go, good fun. Cage is wonderful in it.

                                alistair yeah, cracker. It’s such a shame he just took the money and has done some right old shit.

                                  rhouses Never heard of it - on Amazon Prime - will watch that when I get in later. Cheers Rhouses

                                    Homegrove …man I loved that book. Based on the trailer, kinda interested.

                                    Along_the_Wire …agreed. Human Traffic was and is a dreadful film.

                                        Coming to Netflix 15/05, rumour has it @bosstrabs playing Fred and Rose

                                          The only woman I want to portray on screen is her, in her life biopic…

                                            Homegrove Was surprised that I didn’t catch Mark Hamill as the Major the first time I saw the trailer, but yep, there he is.

                                              I often dream about walking into a party with her on my arm, bursting with pride as she charms the room. Tipping a knowing wink at my mates, who cannot conceal their jealousy at the trade up I have conducted against my previous model.

                                              Only to wake up in a cold sweat, with her mum screaming “GET OUT ME CAAR” through the window of the liberal club, whilst we’re queuing for the buffet.

                                                Started watching The Studio last night.

                                                Thought it was quite amusing at times.

                                                Cheers!

                                                  Smallman1 it’s patchy, a couple of very funny episodes interspersed with some ones but just about worth it. The Globes one is excellent.

                                                    What’s the ‘our programme’ you have with your Julie, Smallsy?

                                                      The best time is when I’m on unbelievable form, absolutely ledging the bants, making her laugh like she’s ever laughed with her thinking “Christ alive he is absolutely sensational, I can’t believe I’ve bagged and tagged him.”

                                                      You are having a right reg in this thread today Ed. First of you post something which is on now in the forthcoming film and tv thread. Then you completely failed to answer Millsys question!! You been on the sauce today?
