What movie did you watch last night? (27 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

Trailer looked good, but a bit ... well, American. Will there be loads of Yanks doing my head in?

Yeah I guess it’s taking the piss out of that brash American movie culture so the characters are exaggerated slimeballs. But there’s commupences aplenty

the scene at the hotel front desk absolutely nailed that particularly american fake politeness

The Eiger sanction (1975)
Clint Eastwood as a collage lecturer who previously worked as an international spy and fixer is convinced to do one last hit. He also climbs a mountain for some reason. It's well made, but the plot is a mess. But I'm a fan of hit 60s & 70s films in general.

I love this one. I even bought the soundtrack.

Sadly, the rape jokes haven't aged well.

Quite jazzy. I was expecting it to be done by lalo Schifrin, but its John Williams.

Finally got around to seeing Dune. Liked it quite a bit, certainly more than I thought I would. Just made me want to go back and read the book again though because it also felt quite rushed, just as we're getting used to the very basics of the world that has been built the plot starts rushing along 200 miles an hour.

Ultimately it's probably a bit like the LOTR films in that I probably wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than 20 minute long shots of the scenery where nothing is happening.

Just to clarify, I am not actually sad that the rape jokes haven't aged well.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I didn't even notice the rape jokes.

Just to clarify my clarification, I am happy the rape jokes haven't aged well.

 

[Lili Marlene]

please just accept your cancellation

Because it makes them funnier if they cause even more offense? Perhaps you could clarify on this point

The stupid and offensive film should be cancelled. If you disagree, you should be cancelled.

OK to clarify when I say "this" I mean that issue. And if x = rape with y being audience reaction, over z = time. Then, I believe I have made my opinion on this clear and consider the matter closed.

Very measured response

Watched the Predator (2018) at the weekend. Terrible.

lol I can't tell when you're doing a bit or not, you were very clear from your first post but then you kept clarifying to say the same thing.

I mean, you're still cancelled but sure so are the rest of us.

I apologize for any confusion on your part. Please refer to my first post on this matter.

Then the second one.

And then the one after that.

I trust this closes the matter.

I think Johnny has been very clear, we all know what kind of jokes he likes

Anyway the other day I watched Duel again, fuckin class, never gets old
