What movie did you watch last night? (21 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

The first two LOTR films. Still look good but dated in every other way.

Panic Room. Very good. Jared Leto plays a really good creep

If by dated you mean really fucking great, then yep, totally.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

We watched Solo, it was grand. Better than the prequels but still a bit shite.

It's easy to be yourself in films

Blinded By The Light. Bawled through 70% of it. I blame the lockdown.

Nah, I still like em. The second one is the weakest imo.

Got utterly trollied on White Russians on Saturday night and on the back of it decided to give The Big Lebowski another (3rd ish) watch last night. It finally fully clicked for me.

It's a good film

i watched the dig which i thought was pretty good. thought ralf fiennes was great.

The first two LOTR films

i've been re-reading lotr for the first time since i first saw the movies. having seen the movies quite a few times since, and having read the book a few times prior, i can't get over just how many details are different between one and the other. barring the basics, the first 100 pages or so (that's about as far as i am right now) are completely re-written. i remember when i first saw the movies i was captivated and felt that peter jackson had stayed very close to the source material. now that i'm reading it again it's mad just how different it is. (i'm sure that an in-depth analysis of everything that's different is just a google away). not to take away from the movies... which i think are great.

Yeah that's it. It's well done but somehow something feels cynical about it haha

I always like the Bakshi rotoscope version better because it did stay more true to the book. Like, if they'd properly finished that version, and maybe extended it a bit, that would have been the go to forever.
The Jackson films are great though, except obviously the last 30 minutes or so is unwatchable drivel. I bet fuckin Bakshi would have fucked The Shire up!!

cannot get over how much leg Aragorn has on show in it though

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

In early drafts of the book, Aragorn was a Hobbit and only called Strider.

You'd pay to see Viggo in that

Haven't watched that yet but apparently it's an interesting take.

My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. Very very good. I got emotional at the end for this weird, amazing little creature.
