The Film Thread

[Kano]

Apart from all the recorded telephone calls from the flight, obviously.

I don't think complete accuracy matters in cinema. As long as the 'spirit' of the real life event being retold is retained, then that's the most important thing. And that people realise the difference between the two. I don't think this film was promoted as being 100% accurate anyway. The list of films based on historical events that are factually inaccurate is never ending but that misses the point of what making it into a film is about.

Obviously no-one can know exactly what went on but there are enough phone calls to give a pretty good picture.

Had to Google Mark Bingham but it's his mum to said he sometimes used to call and say that. Bit odd but it's a silly thing for his mum to lie about. Hardly a smoking gun for another wacky conspiracy theory.

These films are designed to push the wildest conspiracy theory of them all in the hope endless repetition and time will cement a huge lie in place of the truth. Not a problem for people who want to watch American fairy tales for pure entertainment, but there are plenty out there who still think this is all real and refuse point blank to examine 15 year's worth of accumulated material that thoroughly exposes the lie. Even that wouldn't be a problem if the lie hadn't been used to murder so many innocent people.

New Beatles documentary by Ron Howard is pretty good. Helps if you haven't heard their music in a while and aren't a massive fan but some great concert footage. You can understand why they quit touring in the end given how mental it was.

Ah yes, well done Letters. Crackpot theories on a web site are EXACTLY the same as economic fraud and corporate corruption of the political process. In fact, if we can prove the Beatles existed then surely we prove by extension that everything the media reports is the truth and nothing but the truth.

Here: "Stop buying into all the mainstream news, sheeple!"

Just as with the topic of Wenger, every time your world view is questioned you reach not for reasoned and knowledgable argument but for the backhanded exit. Sort of like riding out on a donkey on stilts.

As an aside, did you know the mainstream sheeple are now a minority? In America, at least, the mainstream media has a lower trust rating than Congress. Hint. That's LOW. Not long to go until you hobble back in, reverse your opinions and claim you thought that way all along.

Most in-flight entertainment is awful, last time I was on a long haul flight i was reasonably lucky because the Euros were on and got to see two matches live

Film wise watched Dad's Army (terrible apart from Michael Gambon), Eddie the Eagle (watchable rubbish) and Batman vs Superman (absolutely no redeeming features)

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Best film watched recently was Creed, probably Sylvester Stallone's best performance in a film since Cop Land (not saying much)

Lot of parallels between it and the original Rocky film but generally easy to watch and feel good.

The film selection wasn't great, did watched a few episodes of Blackadder III and Alan Partridge: Scissored Isle which were good.

Oasis doc Supersonic is a good watch, narrated by the band and pretty bloody funny most of the time.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Watched All the Way, the film version of Broadway play where Bryan Cranston plays LBJ

They have used prosthetics to make his ears bigger and chin and facial features more pronounced, but Cranston shows what an absolute gem of an actor he is that you often forget that it's him.

The film captures well his personality as someone who was a crass and irritable man, his profound dislike of Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, had an easier relationship with Hoover than his predecessor using manipulation, and was able to bully, intimidate or manipulate other people into getting what he wanted.

Pushes home the point that he was prepared to go much further than Kennedy in Viernam, in many respects to maintain a front that he was a tough customer on foreign policy but preferred to leave big decisions to McNamara and the joint chiefs so he could concentrate on domestic initiatives.

Cloverfield 10

Interesting. Not what I was expecting, I thought it was going to be quite similar to Cloverfield but it ended up being very different and doesn't quite go where you expect.
I enjoyed it.

I also watched Dr Strangelove the other day, it's one of those films where i've always meant to watch it and it was recommended to me on Netflix so thought why not.

I know it's meant to all be about Peter Sellars, but actually the most amusing character in it is General Buck Turgidson played by George C Scott.

"well let's not rush to judgement until we have all the facts in"

The art of self preservation and the tragedy of success.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Read Jon Ronson essay about Kubrick where he visited his wife who had a house and several trailers full of his stuff

He wanted to do a biopic about Napoleon, but partly because Kubrick was being obsessively meticulous and partly because of the Waterloo film starring Rod Steiger meaning there was no great clamour for it, it never got off the ground...but there was a ridiculous amount of Napoleon based material he kept, every book to that point ever written about him etc and was still there long after his death.

Most of his films were made in England even films where they clearly look filmed on location, because of Kubrick's fear of flying (which was odd because he was a qualified pilot).

Used to buy shirts in bulk in packets and used to have loads of unopened shirts in packets lying around.

[Kano]

You get the sense of what a control freak he was by how meticulously composed his shots are, along with the right editing, the infamous onset stories about how he treated some actors and the amount of research he put into every world he wanted to create.

Yet Strangelove and Lolita both work quite a lot wirh improv, which allowed Sellars to push the boat out on where he took those characters. I guess Sellars was more of a maverick that was probably allowed that creative room more than anyone else Kubrick worked with.

[Letters]

I heard that Sellars would beg the studio not to release every film he made as he thought each one was rubbish.
Like a lot of geniuses (and that word is overused but it applies to him and Kubrick, I reckon) he was deeply troubled.

[Kano]

Most comedians tend to be pretty screwed up in one way or the other. I guess funnier they are, the more screwed up they are. There are so many stories about comedians battling depression and generally getting caught up in a world of shit when not onstage. It's a strange and tough career path to follow.

Sellers was more than troubled he was a complete and utter Tosser

Treated people like shit, was emotionally and physically abusive to his wives and completely distant with his children (told his daughter in a letter not to think of him as her father).

[Kano]

I don't see how any artists personal life should really matter to us, unless we want it to. We're all selective over which misdemeanours we choose to ignore. Their talent is all that should concern us. Sellars being a prick still doesn't change how funny he was.

[Kano]

Sure but it seemed to be a more important point to raise than what he was actually good at. The vast majority of the world couldn't give a toss what he did with his wife and kids, as long as he made them laugh.

Why?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

shunned his first born kid because he didn't happen to love the kid's mother, continued a pointless and needless feud with Paul McCartney after the Beatles had split often making the other two members feel like they had to pick sides. The owner of the Jacoranda Club who funded Lennon, McCartney and Harrison to go to Hamburg in the late fifties/early sixties to play in the clubs and make a name for themselves had asked only for a small amount of the profits they were making from playing to packed out cafes and Lennon unilaterally decided they didn't need him any more and stiffed him out of the money.

Had a habit of being unpleasant and nasty to people just to get a rise out of them, and used to constantly be abusive to Brian Epstein

Don't get me wrong, he never deserved what happened to him, there are plenty of arseholes out there.....they don't all deserve to be shot in the back in front of your wife and young son (second son Sean).

John Lennon could be quite the arse, it's true.

ask Mark Chapman, the guy was a nutcase. The sick thing is Lennon had seen him earlier in the day and signed an autograph for him

Yeah. Crazed fan. Stupid thing is he's still in prison. Maybe he is still dangerous but I suspect had he shot any ordinary person he'd have been out long ago. December 8th, 1980 (no, I didn't have to look that up) so it's nearly 36 years.

Sirhan is still in Prison for Killing Robert Kennedy 48 years ago, he won't be up for parole for another five years

Plus actually the Penal statue in the most American states is far stricter than it is over here, in Louisiana for instance there are people in prison for armed robbery or rape for 40 years or more.

In the case of pre-meditated murder, I don't think 36 years is an excessive amount of time. He is very fortunate that New York state doesn't have the Death Penalty

Snowden.

It's Oliver Stone, so filter that out.

What you are left with is slightly sickly, slightly queasy. Can anyone really be this pure?

The answer is no. But then again we're comparing apples with carcinogenic, stillborn mutants.

So leave that all aside. And what you are left with is one of the greatest heroes in a time when heroes just don't exist. And that's pretty remarkable. You can almost forgive Stone for fawning. It's one of the rare times when it is, maybe not justifiable, but understandable. Like Ghandi. Yes, definitely. Leading a whole people out of slavery. Flawed, but steeped in the experiences that allows real judgement to make a stand and have a legitimate voice amongst a sea of sound bite artists. I think we are grown up enough by now to know that MOST of this film is a true story.

I enjoyed it. I'm glad Stone made it because it saved us having to sit through a cheap hit-piece, at least. The degenerate Obama is exposed thoroughly. Damn, I cheered when that Uncle Tom (in the modern sense rather than the heroic sense) was selected. More fool me. Nothing worse than a nigger who knows his place. Well this film will show all you wilting, leftist, liberal ninnies the true face of your idol.

Donald Trump, threatening execution. Just thrown in there as an afterthought (of course it wasn't), long before he became a viable choice? Prescience? Yes.

Snowden outed them all and reminded us that, in the end, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not beholden to an authoritarian state and, indeed, life, liberty and happiness is impossible in the presence of the state because where the state exists, so exist the overriding imperative which is the preservation of the state. It's an obnoxious Catch 22 that can only be resolved in one manner.

Snowden, Manning, Assange, for all the slings and arrows from the ignorant or from those who mean well but are afraid or too pressed to think, fuck. Thanks man! You have more guts than I do, to my shame.

I remember reading that it was a feminist film before going to watch it, and one of the arguments for it was the lack of dialogue Max has in comparison to Charlize Theron's character.

Obviously the person who wrote this had not seen the other Mad Max films, as Max as a character is pretty taciturn

I wasn't that bothered by the women's lib thing, because it seemed to me the only point was that women should not be used as breeding machines which seems fair enough (although the female characters rescued by Furiosa are as irritating as they are attractive).

The Guitar Guy is not only my favourite thing about the film, it should be every-ones, no post apocalyptic raiding party can be complete without someone like him!.

But yeah totally agree, loud, insane and one of the most enjoyable cinematic experiences I've had!

Didn't really like the updated version and the whole feminist schtick didn't work for me l either. Stylised models in the desert and a sexualised Theron didn't feel too liberating as Max saved the day. I guess she got to drive a truck so that's progress. Strange that such a pumped up comedy film took itself so seriously at times too. Think there's a sequel in production or planned soon.

I suppose we all derive different things from films, I didn't get the impression that it ever took itself that seriously and certainly none of the other Mad Max films do from the more grind house original to the guys going round in leather chaps in the other films....the whole franchise has always been absurdist and over the top and that's what I enjoy about it.

Kinda. We knew what was going to happen but I didn't care about the characters. That was the main reason it didn't grip me. Just seemed under cooked. As a stand alone movie and if this weren't part of the Star Wars franchise, I'd feel the same way or maybe more harsh on it.

Getting some use from my Now TV pass whilst I'm off (I think I say this every time). You can get a free one/two month pass for it as well, can't argue.

Deadpool :lol: Didn't expect it to be quite that good. Nor did I expect a line about Basil Fawlty. Good film. Liked the "British Bad Guy" as well, though I've got no idea who he is.

Watched Dumb and Dumber for the first time the other day (week?) as well if only because I was met with incredulity that I hadn't seen it. It was alright. Not the classic people had made out though. I haven't seen Home Alone either, but I don't think I can be bothered watching that. And on Jim Carrey; Liar Liar on ITV the other day. :bow: Infinitely better.

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Droids, spaceships and battles...the move title 'STAR WARS' should give a slight clue.

[Niall_Quinn]

I watched Harry Potter 6 last night. Really similar to the first 5. Disappointing.

Except it isn't at all. The difference between the first film and the last is stark.

People criticise the Star Wars prequels but at least they offered a different look at the Star Wars universe. VII, on the other hand, is a ridiculous movie if you judge it in terms of plot and the historical context of the series. It's a compression of the Skywalker arc and done in a really hamfisted manner. The Vader clone is a parody. For people who haven't seen the original it's a decent shoot'em'up in Star Wars costumes. Worth the watch but not worth pretending it's a movie of any merit.

I thought he had something I didn't notice but to come out and say it's samey because it had droids, space and battles? ;) That's special!

I wasn't impressed by Rogue One. I've seen better war movies and thought it was pretty think on character development. I'd agree about it being a generic film dressed in Star Wars uniform. A slightly darker and mature tone is something fans have yearned for but that's not enough to cut the mustard for me.

[Letters]

I'm sure you think you're making a good point there but yes, they are all quite similar. They are mostly good as are the Star War ones (I'm pretending the prequels didn't happen although II and III are OK), but I wouldn't want them to make endless cookie cutter ones like they do with all the super-hero stuff.

Again, elaborate on what you mean by similar other than the settings and props. Saying they've got droids and space...well duh! Of course they're going to have those elements in the movie. It's a Star Wars. I thought you were going to make a point about the plot being similar to the other movies like Ep VII was to EP IV.

I'm not making any deep point, I'm just saying they're all a bit samey. You know what you're going to get. Yes, like Bond, like Harry Potter, like lots of genres or types of film. I didn't expect a load of nerds to take it as a stinging criticism of the entire saga.

Yes this is true, but the point you were making was about Rogue One

I think it stands up well as a stand alone film, in chronological terms it's the star wars film i've enjoyed most since the Empire Strikes Back.

(Although i was born four months after Return of the Jedi's uk release so gauging it chronologically might be a bit spurious)

I didn't particularly like Felicity Jones as the female lead i thought she was wooden, and i don't know what Forrest Whittaker was trying to be but yeah it was a good nostalgia romp and a lot of fun to watch in the cinema.

The biggest shame for me was that Mads Mikkelsen didn't have a larger part.

I really didn't care that much for Jones as the lead. Very wooden but from what I heard they cut of scenes in editing.

[Letters]

Yes this is true, but the point you were making was about Rogue One
I was making a general point which is that I hope they don't make a load of these films which will end up all being cookie-cutter ones. IMO that's what's happened with all the Marvel/DC stuff and I can't be bothered with it now. So long as they have an audience I guess they'll keep making them though.

My point would be that Rogue One is freer from the traditional Star Wars template than any other in the franchise.

No Jedis for a start

I guess that's true. Personally I preferred Episode VII because it WAS in the template and it was good to see the old gang again.

Arrival - a horrible film that starts out promising much and ends up delivering fuck all except frustration, bitterness and resentment. These scriptwriters aren't as smart as they think and one day somebody is going to ask the dreaded question - what's the film about? Makes you leave the pirate stream thinking, fuck, I'm glad I didn't pay to see that!

Hacksaw Ridge. Great story, if true. Standard stuff in all other respects. Lot's of blowing up, blood, guts, still not as good as Saving Private Ryan. Underdog becomes the hero. Comes to represent those glorious American virtues we all know and love so much. But still, if the guy really did all that then fair play.

Casablanca - again. Magnificent as usual. Something new to discover every time. The dialogue pops so hard and fast you end up laughing at shit that happened 20 minutes before.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I just don't get why anybody would think Rogue one is better than the force awakens. The former has a jedi in the way of a kung fun style blind man who REPEATEDLY mumbles....I am at one with the force....the force is at one with me. He even wields a jedi like weapon...... he's a Jedi in everything but name.

The ostensible omission of Jedi's does not have that much significance. It's a decent film but the lack of relation to the saga in direct terms just means you end up not caring so much about what happens.

Most of these types of movies have a pretty bog standard generic plot but make up for it with great action and characters. There wasn’t much depth to any of the characters, not much chemistry or development in Rogue One. But that’s not a major crime. I’ve seen other movies get past character development problems by having their characters face a massive mission impossible style task. Everyone loves to root for the underdog and seeing how it all unravels. That wasn’t the case for Rogue One either. It was all a bit too bland.

I’ll watch it again to see if my opinion changes. Watched Bourne Legacy again recently and thought it was better on 2nd viewing. Same happened with the latest Indiana Jones movie.

Watched a couple of the Oscar bait films from two years back - Birdman and Boyhood

Birdman is an interesting quirky film about self obsession, it's amusing and dark but it's pretty unspectacular.

Boyhood seemed to me to be more based on the novelty
cinematic concept of using the same actors over a 12 year period than anything particularly great about the film. Ethan Hawke for me is the only real likeable character, the director uses his own daughter to play the main characters older sister and she's terrible especially by the time she reaches adulthood herself.

[Letters]

I liked Birdman a lot :d

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Watched Whiplash, best of the three films i have seen this week although i found the ending a little unsatisfactory

But then again in real life how many people are actually punished for being total cunts

Then again Nieman himself is a jack off and it shows the weakness of his character that despite Fletcher being a manipulative bullying tosser he is still pathetically grateful for anything remotely approaching praise from him.

David Brent: Life On The Road.

Gervais is a bit of a one trick pony but it's a good trick. Recently without any way of watching TV after the move for a few weeks we resorted to DVDs and re-watched all of The Office and Extras. Don't think he's done anything anywhere near as good since those two shows.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'm one of those few people who never found the Office funny

Not a big fan of Ricky Gervais anyway, even though it's hit and miss I think his best comedy work is in his stand up

[Letters]

I'm a big fan of his standup, seen him a few times live. Second season of Extras has quite a few laugh out loud moments.

[GP]

Love Gervais, me.

I really like The Invention of Lying, though like Derek, it's really ham-fisted with it's message.

Life on the Road is a nice follow-up to The Office. It's funny but also really sad to see him reduced certain things. Paying for his band to have a drink with him was particularly sad.

[Letters]

I don't think his films have ever been as good as his TV shows, The Invention of Lying was OK although some of his writing is a bit ham-fisted. Not being able to lie, or it not occurring to you, doesn't mean you'd go out of your way to be rude to people by saying what's on your mind.
