Film you recently watched: part 3

That was me last Friday, not a fan of Marvel in the slightest, don’t think I’ve ever seen a Spider-Man either. Got asked to go with a girl I’ve been dating as she’s a Marvel fan.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on, and as you say long and boring. She actually said she thought it was rubbish, and she’s a fan.

Totally agree, that made no sense to me either and was just a ridiculous stretch for that to be his overriding priority. Also the whole ‘cure them’ part just made no sense to to me, I get that if he sent them back they were about to be killed, but even though I’ve not seen any of them, I’m assuming in all the other Spider-Man films he doesn’t spend the whole film trying to cure the ‘baddies’? So why was he suddenly so worried about doing it for ones from other multiverses?

 

You know what though, something genuinely impressive, the woman that plays his aunt? She’s 57!

FIFTY SEVEN!

Hot damn.

Spoiler

And if you’ve got Willem Dafoe, use the spooky *******!

 

Yeah, she very much bucks the trend of Men ageing Better than Woman compared to her co-star John Favreau, who is two years younger but looks like ****.

 

Marisa Tomei? I fell for her in the 90s rom com Only You with Robert Downey Jr.

 

I was more of a Pingu man in the early 90’s, I doubt two year old me would have appreciated her in 1994.

 

My cousin Vinny. Excellent.

 

How did you never watch Back To The Future or Alien? Just not a sci-fi fan?

The 2nd movie in both those franchises are the best.

 

Would agree regarding the Departed and Django, they’re good films but I personally feel they’re somewhat overrated.

It seems unlikely if you’ve only just watched Alien, but have you seen Aliens? It’s in that same rare bracket as T2, in that some argue the sequel is better than the original. It’s that little bit more modern so you may find you prefer it.

Edit: GD has beaten me to it with regards to the sequel being better.

I’d also add it all pretty much goes to **** after that as far as the Aliens franchise is concerned.

 

This is tricky because being born in 81 Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones are up there as some of my favourite films of all time, and I’ve probably seen them about 100 times, but a lot of that will be clouded by nostalgia as I watched them as a kid, and I think watching them now as an adult for the first time it would be completely different.

 

I think it was the first of the ‘summer blockbuster’ movies so I’m not sure it’s so much cult really. It probably only gets called cult because it’s sci-fi. I do enjoy the trilogy but the first and third annoy me more than they did than when I was a kid. I still love the second one. I’ll let you watch them without saying much more.

 

One Hundred! Blimey.

 

I agree on the third one, I find it tedious. I can see why it gets cult status though, people have been referencing it’s predictions on what the future will be like for years. Hoverboards, self tying laces etc.

 

Probably an exaggeration, possibly not. I must’ve watched them maybe once a week or more as a kid for a long while once I got the VHS copies for birthday or Xmas, and then they’re the sort of films that when you see them on TV you just end up watching them. I haven’t got kids but I’m sure anyone with them can attest to how many times a kid can watch something they like.

 

I love the Back to the Future films but was delighted that rumours of a fourth one have denied. The Departed was excellent but never seen Casablanca. The original Oceans 11 is worth a watch

 

Ferris Bueller is brilliant and my all time favourite movie. Sadly the chap who plays the Principle has a bit of a dodgy past. can't remember what but I think @wfcmoog mentioned it

 

Yeah, he's a diddler. Convicted of diddling. No wonder he went out of his way to track down an errant teenager.

 

Went to see Buena Vista Social Club at the cinema last night - first time I'd ever seen it on the big screen. The perfect pick-me-up after Friday evening's 5hit show

 

I watched Death of Stalin this week. Great cast, biting satire and actually historically interesting.


Also watched Jungle Cruise with the kids. Complete nonsense of a film with The Rock and Jack Whitehall. Can't really imagine how anyone thought it was a good idea but there you go. Kids were entertained for 2 hours though.

 

Much the same as the Belgium (yes, really) masterpiece "Man Bites Dog".

 

Currently watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. There’s a reason I’m posting on here. Utter utter *****.

 

Definitely a film for all the family. I saw it as the first feature of a double bill at the Gulbenkian Theatre (University of Kent's Cinema) with the "Reservoir Dogs" in '92 (it was a themed "Canine Evening"). Half the audience had left before "K Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's" started...

 

Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. Silly and violent but a very enjoyable film.

For some reason reminded me a bit of baby driver, and a few other films as well.

 

It gets better the 4th or 5th time. Honest.

 

I have recently watched Matrix Resurrections and Free Guy, thoroughly enjoyed them both, a lot of similar themes too.

 

Watched The Founder last night. Michael Keaton is great as the chiseling hustler who took McDonald's from a small town burger bar to the mega-business it is today. I admit it sounds a bit dry but it's really quite good

 

What the ketchup’s for innit? Moisten up that prime McTesticle burger.

 

Who does the best burgers then?
