Rate The Last Movie you Watched

jonattonyeah

Room 237. It’s pretty good. It’s more about the people who have the conspiracy theories than the theories themselves. Some people have far too much time on their hands. Rich, I know, coming from me given what I spend my time on but whatever.

jonattonyeah It’s more about the people who have the conspiracy theories than the theories themselves.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard about it. Some theories are probably true with The Shining though, knowing Kubrick. I find it easy to believe all the theories how it’s about the genocide of Native Americans, and the Playgirl thing sounds plausible, because apparently that said issue had an article about child abuse. Some of the stuff like the impossible architecture of the hotel was most likely just to put the viewer on unease.

It’s dead quiet at work now, due to most of Finland being on vacation in July, so now I’m just checking off stuff off the Rewatchables podcast I’ve not seen in years, so can listen to episodes between clients. Tonight’s watch was Midnight Run (1988). Not as good as I remembered, also a bit too long, but the actors are all great in it. DeNiro and Grodin have great chemistry, and Dennis Farina steals every scene he’s in as Jimmy Serrano.

Homegrove Midnight Run (1988). Not as good as I remembered

Yeah same, Hannu. It’s a good movie but feels very dated. Much of the humor just doesn’t hit anymore. The Color of Money feels more present and it came out two years earlier.

Give Vision Quest a go. The Rewatchables episode is great. Russillo is hilarious. The movie is also super weird but very amusing.

If you like the flick I would recommend the book, most of it is unfilmable, but funny as fuck. Probably Easton Ellis’ best work, but I have a soft spot for his early stuff and the opening chapters of Lunar Park made me laugh so hard on the train I snotted all over myself and the bloke sat opposite me.

Amps the book is bonkers but also a superb read. Very very gory in parts though.

Deffo his best work as well. Some of his other stuff is nonsensical (I’m including Lunar Park in that)

jonattonyeah Vision Quest

I’ve never liked the look of it. You sure?!

It has a boss soundtrack and some of the most bizarre dialogue in any movie ever. I don’t think I’d call it good but it is something. Pay for a rental? No. But if you’re hungover on a Sunday morning and it’s available on some streaming service, give it a go. There are parts that are legit good and others that are unintentionally hilarious.

You could just watch a decent movie instead Grant.

Just a suggestion!

Smallman1 Being curious is a good thing

Millsy

Along_the_Wire preaching to the choir there I would imagine

jonattonyeah

Vision Quest too high T for our man Ed.

Smallman1

A lol for Millsy!

Just finished The Gentlemen.

Great cast and it was good to see Hugh Grant using a different voice and haircut for a change. An absolute pile of shite though. Guy Ritchie with his smarmy cockney script is now beyond stale. Convaluted nonsense to be fair with not one memorable character. That robbery with the dancing rapping ninjas? Do me a favour.

Recommended. 9/10.

Am I missing something after that review!!

LOL I didn’t mind it! But my expectations were very, very, very low. Not good but ehhhhh a fine few hours while making some dinner.

IT part two.

Fucking awful.

Strange that Stephen King hated Kubrick’s brilliant adaptation of The Shining yet he cameos (albeit briefly) in this pile of poo. This has more comedy value than horror.

jonattonyeah

Dan

I liked the first half! Latter half goes to absolute shit. But visually it’s quite good throughout.

And in fairness to King, Kubrick made a movie that is vastly different than the book. I wouldn’t be too happy either irrespective of the end result.

Crimes of the Future
David Cronenberg returns to body horror. Surgery is the new sex, I like a lot of Cronenbergs stuff and this has a few button pushing moments but found this a bit dull to be honest. Lea Seydoux is even more annoying than Kristen Stewart.

Homegrove

Agree with Jonathan, It Part One is awesome, Part Two is a mess. Shame, great to see Bill Hader always. He was the only good thing in it. Well, and Twiggy from The Wire.

I really liked The Gentlemen. Even bought the Blu Ray for a fiver.
