Mad_Cyril I loved the original footage too

LT42 O watched the Threads trailer, seeing a Woolworths being blown up would have put the shits up people in the 80s

It’s a helluva watch that

Great first date movie

Saw Existenz on the plane back - was a bit disappointed with - it also looks really tired abs dated. 5/10

rhouses great film

Deadpool and Wolverine (2024)

I had to bail after an hour, absolute garbage. I had no idea what was going on, sounded like more timeline/metaverse nonsense. Plus I just couldn’t stand another quip heavy monologue from Ryan Reynolds. Surprising really as I thought the first two movies were OK.

Not gonna score it seeing as I didn’t finish it

The Substance

It’s like Troma got a proper budget, and employed a Gilliam obsessed Brazzers director to remake Dorian Gray… which should be right up my street, but I struggled to care for it.

rhouses Top film that Rhouses - I’ve done it twice, it wont get a third view

Thw Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). Definitely Fincher’s worst film (yeah I think Alien3 is better), and I still don’t know why he did this. But there’s still a lot to like in this sappy movie too. Like that fact that David Fincher found in himself a way to make a romantic movie. The CGI has aged horribly, but damn are Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt not two beautiful people in the scenes when they are the same age. First rewatch for this for me, and I think it will be another 14 years (saw this for the first time with my ex because she had it on DVD, so some time after it was in theatres) before I go for a third watch.

Wally I’m going through Fincher because I’m going through the Blank Check-podcast episodes and they did all of his movies last year. Going to hit play on the BB-episode tomorrow on my walk to work, and I hope they get to why Fincher did this on their research.

The Wild Robot: Not a great script, plot is wishy washy af, and the animation is not pixar (does have some wow moments). And yet, if you’re a parent, you will definitely shed a tear or two during this ride (maybe not Grant). The soundtrack is a bit one dimensional in the sense it’s only there to you make you cry and get sentimental. Huge brownie points if you take missus along with the kids, and add a little cherry by saying the movie reminds you of her.

Watched this in a new cinema, only gold class audis, no ads only trailers, and a proper restaurant/menu - wayyyyyy better than my usual gold class experience. Asian springs rolls, peri peri chicken sub, chicken shawarma, and a hot chocolate with a classic chocolate eclair for dessert - all banging.

7.3 / 10 for the movie.
9.5 / 10 for the cinema. Felt incredibly first world and yet I only spent $30 for the whole package.

Homegrove I’m going through the Blank Check-podcast episodes

How does that compare to The Rewatchables?

whatever they are wayyyyy longer so take some patience. Much more film nerdy, less funny. They are now doing Lynch and said the upcoming Mulholland Drive-episode will be over 4 hours.

Would film your wedding for a free go at the buffet.

red rooms. shit’s fucked up

Inherent Vice (2014). Loved it! Maybe the funniest film PTA has made? 4,5/5 stars from me, it only loses the half star for the length. Took a bathroom break 90 minutes in, and went wait there’s still an hour left?
