So, after finishing the series of The Gentlemen, I thought I’d finally get around to watching the film which preceded it. Very fun. It’s probably available on dvd at your local library

What’s a DVD, Grandpa?

The wife and I just watched that movie Saturday night. I enjoyed it as well. It was extremely Guy Ritchie.

SHE:

A warrior queen (Sandahl Bergman) and her sidekick (Quin Kessler) quest for Nork Mountain with two drifters, Tom (David Goss) and Dick.

Now playing on Screen Pix Action!

Pretty sure SHE was the Valkyrie in Conan the Barbarian.

Oh boy boobs!

Original music by Justin Hayward and Rick Wakeman!

That music sounds like a snore-fest.

Poor Things was, like the book interesting

Strange film.

[rass]

Holy shit Twisters!

I have a soft spot for the original because it was shown incessantly on the “Drew movie channel” (the in-house maintained sort of current release movie channel on the cable system provided by my college, channel 3 I think yeah cerrano?) plus it’s fucking fun.

The original still stands as the best movie I’ve ever seen in the theatre while eating a rack of lamb from Outback.

I mean I just professed my fondness for the original but I feel like if you had tried just a little over the past 28 years you could have topped that.

We also stole one of those huge 4’ x 6’ banners of Independence Day on the way out, so I felt like that night at the movies couldn’t be beat.

Oh man remember movie theaters?

Can’t believe they are still making Planet of the Apes movies. Charlton Heston starred as a strapping bare-chested astronaut in the first one, and if he was still alive, he’d be (literally) 100 years old.

I only watched the one that I think started the reboot in 2010, but it seems like anyone I’ve talked to that have watched the new ones says they’re pretty great.

I’ve only seen the Broadway version starring actor Troy McClure. You may remember him from such movies as…


Ok, had to add a clip because this is so fucking great.

I dated a girl who wanted to be a musical actress. I hate musicals, she owned 300+ musicals on CD, and tried to get me to like it. We saw this episode, and she was insulted by it, so I used that quote every time she’d play something thinking I might like it.

The new apes movies are absolutely pretty great - solid way to wast 6-7 hours though probably not all at once. Very well done, and of course Serkis is amazing in MoCap. There was an article about him and the movies (he's also involved with possibly making two Hobbit/LOTR adjacent Gollum movies - Jackson is in too) and I also think he will get an honorary oscar at some pint for being at the fore of MoCap.

Agreed. All three of the latest series (the one that started with James Franco) have been quite good. I'm looking forward to this fourth one.

[P.D.X.]

Aways thought the franchise was a little too goofy, although the OG had enough charm / cultural cache to get by (and some good quotes!). May give the new ones a whirl when I need something mindless.

The Fall Guy was really fun. And features the best use of a Taylor Swift song in a movie yet.

It was genuinely fun. Co-sign. Loved seeing it on a big screen too.

[Nonlinear FC]

I'm going to watch that movie even if it didn't get good reviews, so it's great to hear from guys I trust that it's actually a fun movie.

Nice!

It's absolutely perfect. Doesn't take itself seriously but also not dumb. Helps that Gosling and Blunt are pretty perfect generally.

Co-sign. Gosling and Blunt are great as usual.

And the stunts are cool enough that seeing it on the big screen is better but probably not a deal-breaker for enjoying it (since it’s a Universal movie it’ll be on Peacock in mid-June)

Why are the fanboys upset over the tri-part light-saber?

Part different, part it doesn't make much sense (unless the non-light saber part of the hilt is somehow light saber-proof).

I thought Abrams knocked the first Star Trek out of the park. I thought the second was WAY too fan service-y (going Khan was bad enough, but reversing the Spock/Kirk dynamic from ST:tWoK, right down to the dialogue, was, well, WAY too fan service-y). That could be a bad tendency to have in the SW universe. I liked that they held back the Big Three in this peek.

Here once again to say how much I loved the 2009 ST (it’s been on SyFy the last couple of days) and lament how not great the second one was and how TFA in retrospect and outside of the initial afterglow wasn’t great either and after those two and the mess after TLJ it was very obvious the rise of skywalker would be shite.

Also have read to glowing reviews of Furiosa. I didn’t see Fury Road in the theater, won’t make the same mistake with this one.

Fuck it, I'm gonna say I liked watching the Pop Tart movie. There was some cringeworthy cheesiness but I thought it was clever with some good appearances. And Bill Burr pulled off a great JFK.
