The Film Thread

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

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 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. Infinitely better.

And you can beat a bit of Batman Begins/Dark Knight today either.

I really want to sit down and watch The Revenant at some point too. And will probably watch the new Jungle Book as well.

Beats watching Eastenders or Mrs Brown's Boys

Watched Fury again after a long gap. Riveting stuff. This is a good one.

Enjoyed Rogue One although I don't approve of them making a load of Star Wars films which all end up very samey

Each to their own I suppose, but I didn't find anything that samey about it

I watched two films that are two of the biggest titles from the 1970s and can't believe not seen them before

Deliverence and Dirty Harry

Both are obviously amazing

Samey? To which Star Wars movie?

I'd say Episode IV, Episode VII and Rogue One are all pretty much the same.
Droids. Space ships. Battles. Rinse and repeat.
They're good, don't get me wrong, but they're all of a type.

I think it was important that VII went back to basics after the crap prequels, I imagine VIII and IX will be a bit different as they will explore the characters more.

The Han Solo movie will probably be completely different too.

Yeah, a Star Wars type of movie! What did you expect? Sea, Pirates and Swords? Wrong Disney franchise!

Agreed. Same plot. Same characters, different actors. Utterly predictable.

Star Wars = New audience, double dipping profits. Nothing new here for the people who enjoyed the early films way back when.
