Classic night.

Butch cassidy and the sundance kid. 4/10.

Not how I remembered it, very disappointing held together by Newman and Redford. One of those films where nothing is happening and to long spent on them being chased.

 

Really? One of my favourites. At least a 7 imo.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Thief 

 

Not Mann's finest, but the cinematography and Tangerine Dream soundtrack elevate it beyond its awkward pulpiness. James Caan had weird shoulders.

 

7/10

Tell me the last time you saw it Tony and the good bits please? 

Script is OK but only because of the stars.

Two or three years ago. I’m not going going to post details of specific scenes, in case anyone has yet to see it and wants to do so. I think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is well directed, has good dialogue and excellent cinematography. In my view, it was, for the time, a fresh take on the western genre. It is clever, witty and gripping.

Yea, dialogue was good and after that I struggle. Not all liking the same thing makes the world go round.

The Magnificent Seven may have been a high bar to start with for me.

I noticed that about Caan. Like an American Footballer who forgot to remove his shoulder pads.

Indiana Jones & Some Fucking Crap Dial Thing

 

If you don't want spoilers then probably best to look away now...

 

Anyway, just back from the pictures from watching this thing. Thoughts...

 

Ford, Mikkelson, Toby Jones, Banderas were all very good.

 

The Illinois Nazis and Shortround v 2.0 were shite.

 

The leading lady, "Wombat", I would gladly run that cunt through with a scimitar. She was fucking horrific. Don't know who she is, don't believe I've seen her before, but I hope the cunt's career dies because of this.

 

The Hollywood demasculinisation of men continues apace, and the punch at the end where she ko'd Indy, I was getting up to go and said to my mate I'd had enough. It was only my mates' protestations coupled with the fact that there were only a couple of minutes left, which made me stay.

 

I thought the de-aging thing worked remarkably well though, far better than in The Irishman, but some of the CGI (such as running atop the train at the start) was horrifically terrible.

 

The score was fantastic and some of the sentimental little throwbacks were appreciated, but I otherwise hated this film.

 

3/10 is bordering on generous.

[sir roger]

Is that the highest score you have ever given out on here, CD ?

[redheart]

Blue Beetle some DC superhero stuff which I took my young son to see.

 

Entertaining enough in its way but not memorable

 

Susan Sarandon is 76 and still immensely doable

[Mook]

I took the kids to see Mutant Mayhem on Saturday.

 

I have no interest in the Turtles but the animation and soundtrack were superb. The bairns absolutely loved it.

[Kepler-186]

Dr Strangelove

 

Had only ever seen clips and never watched the whole film.

 

Funny as fuck especially the “scientist” with the dodgy arm. 
 

A stellar cast including a young James Earl Jones.

 

Group Captain Mandrake as the urbane British officer is outstanding too. 
 

8/10

The war room line is one of the best things ever caught on tape.

 

Wodeful from start to finish.

Totally. Must’ve been quite something to watch the film when it was initially released given the climate. Two weeks before The Beatles debut on the Ed Sullivan show. 
 

Peter Sellars was only 50 odd when he passed away in the early 80s.

Barbie, 1/10 for Robbie.

 

Said I'd go with the Mrs. Was dire. Think it was trying to say something but I genuinely don't know what.

Went along to see it with my wife and her kids on Saturday.

 

Absolutely hated it. I understand why women and girls loved it but I never understand why so many Hollywood films have to elevate women by demeaning men.

Is that what it was about? I couldn't tell if it was about the patriarchy, or body image or modern young people being cunts. The woman's daughter was a miserable, horrible cunt, so I assumed that was part of the theme, young people today trying to shit on feminism just cos. 

 

I dunno.

It's just a lot of "men are idiots and will keep you down". There wasn't any nuance.

 

Or maybe I just didn't get it because I'm a thick man

[Carvalho Diablo]

Blood

 

2022 vampire film staring some bird a vaguely recognised.

 

Smart fucking kids, never do as they're fucking told. The moral of Blood seems to be wallop the fuck out of the cheeky young cunts before they turn into vampires.

 

I can live with that.

 

2/10 NERD

Girlhood

 

Another Celine Sciamma French language film, this time it focusses on Vic (played by the wonderful Karidja Toure), a young girl growing up in an under privileged ghetto on the outskirts of Paris.

 

Fantastic coming of age movie with a brilliant central performance.

 

Nor Sciamma's finest work but still head and shoulders above most of peers.

 

8.5/10 NERD

 

Just watched this and it was great, I'd score it similar to you overall.

But that scene of the girls singing and dancing along to Diamonds is one of the best I've ever seen. Jaw dropping, emotional.

Celine Sciamma is a genius, how she does so much with so little never ceases to amaze me.

Completely agree mate, that scene was just beautiful, free, joyous.

Rewatched a 1996 John Sayles film called Lone Star with Chris Cooper, Frances McDormand,Matthew McConaughey and Kris Kristofferson. When I originally watched it, I thought it was great and bought the DVD, it's still brilliant. Slow burning but great performances all through, especially Kristofferson as an evil sheriff and Cooper.

I’ve not seen a bad performance from Frances McDormand.

[DalyanPete]

12 angry men. 1957 original in black and white. 10/10. Big shout out to whoever put the cast together. Every character is believable, helped by a stunning script.

If ever a film was, 'they don't make them like this anymore' it's this. Well worthy of a classic film night.
