What movie did you watch last night? (18 Viewers)

Do not get the Edgar Wright wankfest. Can someone explain the appeal of his films to me? I thought they were all rubbish. Like bad comedy sketches stretched out to feature length.

I like his stuff but a lot of his best things are based on the concept of "I've seen loads of better (genre) movies than the ones I make, I'm gonna nick loads of bits and stick them in mine."[/QUOTE]

tarantino does this but he generally improves on the films he's ripping off

I find his style annoying. Although considering both Wright and Pegg were surprisingly watchable in The World's End, I'd watch Baby Driver.

Well Tarantino takes trashy films and puts a bit of lustre on them. Edgar, sort of the opposite.

Just watched Okja on Netflix. A young Korean girl attempts to rescue her pet mutated pig from an evil corporation who want to do experiments on it. Moments of pure cinematic joy offset by some weird, grating, purposefully bad performances by the American/British cast. When it's good it's superb though. The young one and the pig are ace.

Greatest review ever

Ha.

I love Spaced. Feeling a lot less love for Simon Pegg as the years go by.

I'm the opposite - I used to hate Simon Pegg but I love him now.

Brillo! I cried when the zords combined into Megazord!

Despicable Me 3. Most enjoyable. Great soundtrack.

Schindlers List. Some guy was ragging on this on a Facebook group so I decided to revisit. What a douche he is. It's a bona fide 5/5 masterpiece.

Just watched Dredd. Excellent. More of that please

Hot Fuzz. Not as bad as I remember. It's pretty funny in parts. A little one note though, and could've been half an hour shorter.

Also really made me want to watch Point Break

Watched It Follows on Friday, rocking little Horror.

Yeah it's good, but far too long.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Watching The Lost City of Z. It's being talked about as some kind of modern day classic but I'm finding it overblown and portentous in the same way The Revenant was. There's even a badly CGI'd piranha attack and I think it's commonly accepted that piranha attacks are rare and hardly ever fatal so fuck these guys.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Straw Dogs. Never seen it before. Fucking hell that was intense. The siege is one of the most gruelling sequences I've ever seen in a film. Must've blown people's minds in 1971. It's tough going even by today's standards. Scarier than 95% of the horror movies released today.

 

[Diddles]

We were going to watch the last episode of Fargo but ended up watching this for some reason. It wasn't the worst actually, more like a Wednesday movie really.

I'm working my way through Edgar Wright's films because I'm going to see Baby Driver in the week. Tonight was The Worlds End. Again far too long and runs out of steam long before the end. The first half is quite enjoyable with the middle aged lads going on the piss. As soon as the big reveal happens it goes a bit meh. 2.5/5. I preferred Hot Fuzz. Probably do Shaun of the Dead next. Really not looking forward to Scott Pilgrim. Remember hating it when it came out.
