C_J I often wonder why people watch movies that have actors they hate. I also dislike Sienna Miller. I detest Mel Gibson and always have.
Major swerve for me unless critically acclaimed. This one wasn’t.
bosstrabs I don’t hate her as such. In fact she seems sound. I just tend to struggle with her. Plus I didn’t actually know she was in it.
Embarrassed to admit i only watched the shining in it’s entirety, for the first time, at the start of this year. I enjoyed it. He played that character and scenario really well i thought.
Going to watch chinatown this weekend.
-si- Chinatown is a fucking brilliant film. One of my all-time favourites.
He was good in The Departed too, with his crazy hair.
That Eddie Radmayne gives me the heebie jeebies. No way I’m leaving him with my kids. Ever.
Haven’t seen Chinatown in yonks. May have to dig it out this weekend.
All I remember is the ending fucking me up. It’s been a long time for me too.
I watched it recently, been going through some classic films with our youngest - he’s been loving it and it’s been great watching films like that you haven’t seen for a long time. French Connection up next - what a treat
Along_the_Wire Now you’re talking. The second part is class too. What a character Popeye is.
Nicholson is such a great actor, and Chinatown is superb.
Imagine a night out on the lash with Nicholson!
He was still crushing it with the ladies not too long ago too. Love this clip.
LT42 Yeah, love the second one - always underrated that one, but it’s great - Gene Hackman does some turn in that.
Love Hackman in his pomp too. Mississippi Burning might need a run out soon too. Quality
Millsy Get Shorty a great Hackman vehicle. Thought it was shit when it came out, didn’t concentrate properly. Watched it again a few years ago and it was magnificent. Hackman playing basically a wimp, totally different to his usual roles, but brilliant.
Watched “Enemy of the State” not too long ago. Held up quite well! Hackman is excellent in it as always.
Apocalypto - 4/10. Lots of action, and a sad story, but it was too long, and some of the plot just fell flat for me.
Kells77 I’ll bet you any money you don’t get as much grief as me for a similar post. If any.

Did you previously get grief for watching a shitty movie? That’s not really fair. We all do it lol. I’ll take my lumps if the come though. My only defense is that I was ill yesterday, so poor choices were always going to happen 😂
Kells77 To be fair, it’s a two-way Street.
