An old favourite, after a rewatch not quite as good as I thought. Book was pretty decent though. 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Saw the latest James Bond movie on Amazon recently.  Thought it was absolute pish, I cant even remember the name of it - thats how bad it was.  Nearly 3 hours of a bore fest.

Its long overdue that they return to the classic bond formula of an all-action wise-cracking womaniser, this woke stuff has got to go.

I agree, the latest Double Woke 7 instalment was a huge disappointment, a mere box ticking exercise. I would best sum up the Daniel Craig era as "inconsistent"; he did two undeniable classics in Casino Royale and Skyfall, but which were both followed up by subpar Jason Bourne rip-offs, now this... 

It's also a bugbear of mine that, even at his best, the things Craig was praised for (most notably the serious, gritty interpretation closer to Ian Fleming's original character) are the very same things Timothy Dalton did long before him - and did better (of all the Bond actors, Dalton is the closest to Fleming's original novels) but was criticised for, mostly by Roger Moore fanboys.

Tom Hardy is a fine actor, but for me would be a much better villain, so Henry Cavill is still my pick for next Bond, but it'll likely be a minority and/or homosexual, just to up the box-ticking ante of "the message".

Did the Top Gun movie with low expectations as I thought it wouldn't be my thing but really enjoyed it. Never seen the first one but this is good.

Should I watch this before or after Shaving Ryans Privates?

James Bond movies are meant to be fun, entertaining and just generally over the top nonsense. James Bond himself is meant to be a suave, alcoholic shagger.

But since Daniel Craig took over as Bond its lost all of that. He's got zero charisma, they've toned everything down due to the minority being offended by everything and there's little to no humour in them anymore. They've taken one of the most successful movie franchises and turned them shit.

Goodbye Lenin (2003) 

 

German film festival. The hero cunt from Inglorious Basterds lies to his ma (who was in a coma) that the Berlin Wall hadn’t fallen. 
 

apparently a comedy. Don’t bother

Terrible actor. Dunno how he gets those parts. Zero charisma like you say. Only film ive seen him in was layer cake and hes a terrible actor.

You watch Dead Mans Shoes yet Hanzo?  Starts on Film4 in 20 minutes.

Jurassic World: Dominion.

Absolute clusterfuck of a movie. Utter tedium from start to finish. I see what they were thinking, have a monster appear from 10 seconds in then action all the way to the end but it is so fucking bad. Don't believe in the creatures or the characters or the action scenes or the situations they get themselves in. The bad guy is as scary as a school teacher with no credibility as a super villain.  Not forgetting the 'Uh oh we're about to get eaten, until along comes another dinosaur to save us' bit - yet again. Can only imagine that Spielberg's involvement begins and ends with having his name on the credits coz this abortion of a movie just doesn't gel as one of his. 1/10 is generous.

The first one was great at the time,  just been repeating itself ever since though. Pointless.

I had heard it was shite. Have been thinking about going to see it.

Will maybe hold off and take the kids to see Lightyear instead.

That's a good film. Nae watched it for years so maybe hasn't aged well, but I thought it was decent.

From what I can see, Henry Cavill is the best candidate to rescue the series, but somehow I just know it'll be someone who ticks the diversity boxes. Idris Elba may be too old now, but a young black transvestite will get the woke mob braying with delight.

“The names Bond, Jameliah Bond. It used to be James but it represented a toxic masculinity and imperialist racist past, and I now identify as a lady, preferring the pronouns she/her.”

You always watch depressing stuff about street urchins?

High Plains Drifter on Netflix - an Eastwood one I hadnae seen. 

 

Pretty raw action by fuck - Hoo mama

[styrofoamplates]

Watched Local Hero for the first time in years last night. It's just such a fucking wholesome, lovely film. Gives you such a warm fuzzy feeling inside. 

No Tits. (Apart from Peter Capaldi)

Webbed Feet. 

9/10. Loses half a point each for Peter's tits and the webbed feet.

Pretty much the same story as Trump trying to kick that auld fella off the Menie estate. Burt Lancaster was the Trump character, but with a heart.
