Watched 10 mins of Havoc.

Nonsense.

    seanc80 Managed the same. Turned off about 2 mins after the CGI truck chase.

      The Thing (1982). Another classic I have never seen. I again have no idea how. I guess because of my aversion to horror. Well, outside of a 35 mm print this was about the best way to see it for the first time I guess. 4K digital projection on the biggest screen in town at a full screening in a movie theatre.

      This film is so well referenced in so much pop culture from movie and TV show homages to memes that I knew pretty much everything about it before. Did not ruin it one bit, what a fantastic movie. Had a great time with it. And yes, jumped a few times. Horror still manages to get to me most of the time.

        Homegrove top ten movie of all time for me. The score, acting, setting, effects and story and sense of dread are top tier film making. Simply a brilliant film. How are you only getting round to it now dude?

            Millsy like I said I avoided a lot of horror a long time. I’ve obviously seen The Shining and Exorcist and a few others, but there’s a lot I’ve still not seen.

              Yeah I’m not a big horror fan, but this film is just chef’s kiss.

              Oh yeah, it was perfect. Even the dog was a fantastic actor. That thing acted very suspicious so well.

              No way I’m ever administering a defibrillator to anyone, ever.

                You’re just doing this to wind me up now.

                We need some sort of Rage Gage, it’d be off the charts just a Hannu’s poor upbringing.

                    The Thing is a stone cold classic.

                    Amps from the IMDB top 100 I picked classics released before 1990 that I have still not seen:
                    It’s a Wonderful Life
                    Psycho
                    Casablance (I’ve seen this, but I was so young I feel it doesn’t count).
                    Amadeus
                    Sunset Boulevard
                    Paths of Glory
                    Dr Strangelove
                    Singing in the Rain
                    The Apartment

                    Plus some Chaplin-movies I probably saw when I was a wee one.

                    Not on the top 100 which I know I’ve not seen:
                    Papillon
                    Bullitt
                    Dirty Dozen
                    The Wild Bunch

                        And yet youve watched all the Marvel films ….. christ on a bike Hannu

                        That Empire subscription being put to good use I see.

                        Sake

                          Millsy over 40 first time watches this year already!

                            Havoc - 2/10. Not a patch on The Raid/Raid 2 (same director) and actually a bit boring.

                            Warfare. Thought I’d pop to see this in the cinema before it stops, glad I did - really needs to be seen in the cinema, even if only for the sounds. It’s a horrible watch, ridiculous tense and uncomfortable - I never jump in films, but that tank getting done by the IAD launched me. The end is a massive relief. 7.5/10

                            The Accountant 2 (2025).

                            Just really really silly, and so much fun. The plot was way too convoluted, and it was too long for the type of movie it was, but the one scene which didn’t really have anything to do with the rest of the movie, that could have easily been cut to make the movie under two hours was also so fun, that I’d hate to think I didn’t get to see it. Both Afleck and Bernthal were on good form, and the latter especially is just made for parts like this. Just a really good dumb time at the movies. I smiled through out the movie.

                            Also finally had the screening room all for myself in the theatre. 37 years I’ve been going to the movies, and it finally happened. Late screening on a Tuesday before a big party holiday in Finland is apparently the day to go to be alone in the theatre.

                              There’s something about The Accountant which just doesn’t add up.

                              TAKE MY WIFE!
