What movie did you watch last night? (23 Viewers)

[GO]

I watched Mulholland Drive for the first time

Don't really know what to make of it. Naomi Watts' acting was amazing, but I was kinda bored a lot of the time, and if the two leads hadn't been so jaw-droppingly gorgeous I dunno if I'd have bothered finishing it

It's mesmerising. Love it

I watched iron claw ..was looking forward to it..but it was too fucking grim.
/Spoiler it's a true story and in reality there was a fourth brother..who fucking hanged himself.
But they left him out because...they'd enough misery within him?

Rocky it ain't

Thunderbolts*. I enjoyed it. Florence Pugh is VG.

Taxi driver (1976)
I think this was the first film I ever bought on dvd in 1999 or 2000. I wanted to see if it still played & how it looked. It does & the picture quality is very good... would be better on a blu-or 4k but...it's fine.
Everyone knows this one. A lonely, isolated, insomniac taxi driver disgusted by the seedy side of New York is pushed over the edge. I'm sure it would be called racist or incel or something if released today....but it's a stone cold classic.

The Last Voyage of The Demetar.

Which is a Bram Stokers Dracula prequel. The inevitable demise of the people on the boat that brought Dracula from Romania to London.

There's a lot of irksome RADA things about it to me. Liam Cunningham impersonating Jean Luc Picard is great though, As are many other bits. It ends up being a fright-fest of a bunch of rag-tags stuck in a confined space with everything against them. And it works.

watching it on a leaky boat at 04:00 might have made it more immersive for me, but it's still just an enjoyable scary movie, after the first few minutes of rather bad exposition. i can imagine it as a really good play.

Thunderbolts

It is a good Marvel film, so a very rare thing. It's not amazing or anything though, I've basically seen this film before in various older films.
It's much much less annoying than most other Marvel films, the dialogue is nowhere near as terrible as their usual fare, some of it is even good.
There's plenty of standard Marvel stuff still wrong with the film, but there's also certainly enough good things in there for it to work and be a good film.

Anyway naturally Florence is amazing, and as with basically all his roles David Harbour fuckin rules.

A choice between The Commitments and one of the Nolan Batman things on the TV tonight.
After the Ras al Gul monologue, I switched to The Commitments. Better music after all.

It's so odd. I've (as I'm sure many of you have) actually met some of these people over the years. And it's just....I dunno. A formative thing for any Irish person born in the 70's or 80's I suppose.

And now Pan's Labyrinth is on. So fuck my sleeping plan.

Never got The Commitments. Can't relate to it at all.
It always struck me as being more like the world Roddy Doyle grew up in rather than 1987 (book) or 1991 (film).
The music references are all from a generation earlier and a lot of the Irish societal things are too.
Also their versions of soul classics get played on the radio instead of the originals.

I've met quite a few of these people. I ended up playing in a band with the "Elvis was a Cajun" lads.

I'm only here 20 years and I feel the same.

Often reminisce about the Chinese lad selling hotdogs off O'Connell bridge at 2am on a Friday night.

From there to TikTok in the blink of an eye.

Young and Healthy as a Rose.
70s Yugoslavian guns and boobs thing with a cool soundtrack. Not very good but it's enjoyable
