  • Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Saw Ad Astra for the first time last week. Was good visually in places, but I couldn’t get passed the fact that absolutely nothing interesting happened. Good idea, awful result.

    303abuser Apocalypse. Now! with daddy issues. I liked it at the cinema, but have not had the slightest temptation to revisit at home. The moon chase was pretty amazing visually though, as was most of the stuff on Mars.

        Homegrove Haha basically.

        Finally finds his dad and it’s so anticlimactic. That was the point where my wife woke up, I filled her in, she said “I told you so” and promptly went back to sleep lol.

            303abuser lol. Tommy Lee Jones having dementia in a space caravan park basically. ‘see ya then dad, cheers’.

                Millsy I know I’ve come all the way to Neptune, but fuck it I guess. 😂

                I still wonder how these scripts get approved and no one asks why there’s no plot at some point.

                  Black Hawk Down (2001). Pregaming for Warfare. This is still one of the most amazing combat movies ever made from the technical perspective. Otherwise is it’s pro military propaganda, but damn do I love this movie. This was my first time watching after upgrading our home theatre to proper surround sound, and man did the sound design in this movie made it money well spent.

                    Homegrove The Dirty Dozen

                    Not a great movie… good fun when you’re a nipper, but not a good movie iirc. Much better stuff like Kelly’s Heroes or Where Eagles Dare are available in this department.

                          Homegrove I will be rewatching it a lot I am sure

                          Pretend you’re British: throw it on every Christmas and eat your own body weight in Ferrero Rocher before falling asleep and missing the end.

                              Amps Where Eagles Dare was a childhood favorite, and I’ve watched it every two or three years since buying it on Blu ray. Still rocks. Same thing as The Great Escape, really long but cut so well it doesn’t feel like it’s long.

                                  Amps Then you can wake up at 11am drink Baileys and constantly eat quality street and nuts …. All whilst you’re still in your dressinggown.

                                      Along_the_Wire No-one spoke to me for the rest of the evening. Bliss.

                                      Lol, abstract film making to the rescue.

                                        Just bought tickets for 12 monkeys in imax next weekend. Looking forward to seeing it again, it’s been a while.

                                            303abuser good stuff, you might see my mate in it. He thinks White Supremacism doesnt exist in the US and Elon Musk has done more for humanity than any other human in history.

                                                  Millsy lol, DJ Matt Black playing a load of obscure yorkshire prog to a load of momos whacked out on sodium penthatol. I reckon this actually happened.

                                                      LT42 lolz. A pair of swastika slipmats ‘which are actually an ancient symbol meaning peace, actually’

                                                              Millsy lol, do your research

                                                                Hard Eight (1996). The last Paul Thomas Anderson-film I’d not seen yet. His debut which he made when he was 24. A fact which makes one to forgive a lot of the small flaws this film has. Great stuff is 90s Gwyneth Paltrow when she was actually a good actor, a great small scene with Philip Seymor Hoffman, and Philip Baker Hall in the one lead role I’ve ever seen him do. John C. Reilly can play a great idiot. Samuel L. Jackson however seems to think he’s in a Tarantino-movie. He basically did the same thing again a year later in Jackie Brown.
