The movie thread

[RocknRolla]

Peeps have advised me to watch it as well. (Breaking bad)

Still haven't not even one ep.

Same with GOT (although the missus was hooked when we still had DSTV, so I saw a couple of scenes)

When those scenes came on, I was like a meerkat...

I've tried on a few occasions to get into Breaking Bad, but it just never stuck with me. Will maybe try again.

Glad I'm not the only one... 1st season was ok, really stuggled with the 2nd but it got better near the end. Maybe one day I'll make the effort again for the 3rd season

The whole show is centered around the development of the three main characters and how they change. In the first 3 seasons you are only seeing the one side of each of those three and only during the third season so you start to see the shift.. But mainly in walt. The famous "I am the one that knocks" episode of only well into season 4.

 

It's been over ten years since I started watching it and I want to watch it again to see how it has aged.... But I would say it's definitely worth a watch and definitely season 4

I only watched it for the first time last year. Has aged extremely well, imo. Loved it.

Watched The Losers last night. A quite typical special military unit gets betrayed and seek revenge movie. Characters were a bit silly at times. 5/10

Anyone who enjoyed the major work of art previously will enjoy "the final edit" in the imax

[kosmonooit]

Interested to hear from anyone seen this for the first time - what are your thoughts?

It's on our list of 100 movies to watch that I'm going through with my daughter... Not sure if she will appreciate it. I watched it back in 87 when I was in std 5

There is a lot in the film to absorb, and I don't think its dated, it has aged well like a true work of art imho. This "Final Cut" mix is really good, and there some brilliant acting.  The script is thick and intense, certainly not formulaic, and the message, the message. Young varsity student son on my mate came with, he enjoyed it although it was not like anything he had seen before, but he is a conscientious bright young thing.

 

I also saw it circa 1987 in Hillbrow, it didn't get a release here when it first came out in 1979, for what reason I don't know.  I think it was the first time I saw Marlon Brando and by that stage he was huge both in stature and body mass. Apparently took up most of the budget as well and only appears in the closing scenes really. But go back in this mans filmography:  The Wild One, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sayanara, One Eyed Jack to name a few  and then you start to understand what the hype is about. and yeah, Last Tango in Paris is brilliant although that was banned here, everyone thought it was a porn film.

We were shown the original IT in primary school, at a sleepover. What were they thinking?

 

I steered clear of drains for a while!

12 hr return flight meant I got through a few movies.

 

Tolkien: Never read or watched any of his books. Not a big fantasy fan.. But the movie made me want to read the Hobbit

 

The Mule: Enjoyed it.. Can't go wrong with the master Clint

 

The Darkest Hour: thoroughly enjoying it... I'm halfway through so definitely want to finish it

 

Rocketman. It was ok...I think the fact that I like his music added to the enjoyment of it. I also learned a bit about him and his back story... So all good.

 

Bohemian Rhapsody: I relented and watched it. As I expected it was a heap of crud. I don't know why Rami Malek got an Oscar for that. The performance was ok... But nothing spectacular. The movie plays on people's emotions and familiarity of the the songs. They basically copied the BBC documentary almost word for word.. There was no original thought or a different angle.
