lol!
It's the forthcoming films and TV thread...innit.
Along_the_Wire Well worth seeing it again the Cinema, mate.
whatever Reckon it’ll turn wank now it’s not based on the game
Don’t know anything about the game but was there much story for them to use for s1?
Dry-Tinder Most of Ed’s favourite films only have men in them.
A Few Good Men my fave.
whatever Like Vin said, one of the best story-based games ever made. Tough to build on that with a hand on the till.
Officially coming straight to Max in October of this year. I don’t have high hopes if it got shelved for two years, studio politics or not (Warner Brothers changed owners around that time), but the book is one of his best, and I like that the movie kept the 70s setting.
Mad_Cyril one of the best reading experiences I ever had was when I first read it at 13 years old I remember coming to the point about 100 pages in when you suddenly realize it was about vampires. The Finnish first edition translation I was reading was designed like the first US editions so you didn’t know it. Later copies just put vampires on the cover. My current copy, an English language paperback sure does.
I’ve reread it many times since at always enjoyed it. Stephen King really perfected his small Maine-town bit already on his second published novel. On first read you want the plot to move on and not spend time with the people of the town, but once the killing starts it really pays off.
I’m still trying to get through Billy Summers (not a euphemism)
Millsy I quite liked that after a few disappointing reads of some of his others. Liked Mr Mercedes too, so reading those two trilogies connected to that.
- Edited
Millsy I liked it a lot. But the first half is very slow. And it was announced as a limited TV show awhile ago (no idea if it’s still happening) which would mean bloating it out even more. I think they should’ve gone as a movie with it, and it might’ve been great.
EDIT: nope back as a movie. But this too was from over a year ago, the strikes might have killed it.
My wife wants to go see this, and I think I got to because I drag her to see all kinds of movies she’s maybe not a fan of (she’s still not forgiven me for The Northman). Not looking forward to it.
Fuck that nonsense!
Wee bit excited for this
Local megaplex is doing screenings of the following this autumn:
Beetlejuice (before the sequel)
The Terminator (for the 40th birthday)
Gladiator (before the sequel)
Interstellar (for the 10th anniversary)
LOTR-trilogy.
I got tickets for The Terminator and Gladiator, the former probably needs no explanation, Gladiator I missed in the theatres upon it’s release in 2000 and I love it. The opening battle should be awesome in an iSense-room with a huge screen.
Odeon are doing the 30th anniversary of Pulp Fiction.
Nice. Right, perfect t film.
Although, I would probably end up sitting next to the cunt who absolutely has to say all of the lines out loud — because obviously no one else would know the lines and find it so impressive.
Maximus dies at the end Hanu.
Cheers.

This was rumored from the time the movie was yet to hit theatres. I was one of the 10 people in the world who loved it so now I really need to find 3 hours and 24 minutes to spare.
17 days later
Salem’s Lot is getting a theatrical release, but only in the UK. Not that you lot seem like the sort to go to the cinema.
