Thought In The Heart Of The Sea was terrible, everyone miscast, that awful digital colour grading. Just a mess!

Another one with awful colour grading that I watched the other night:
J.Edgar. 'twas pretty shite too.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Genuinely a fucking amazing film. And mindblowing to think they were pulling this off in the 80s whereas today it would be simple CGI. Add Christopher Lloyd and the shoe to the long list of traumatizing movie moments for kids in the 80s.

The making off doc for it is really good. Absolutely insane level of work went into it from developing new fx work to using loads of old school tricks.
It's a big thing with 80s moves like that where you have this brilliant mix of newcomers developing new techniques but you have the crews filled to the bring with craftsmanship going back to the 50s.

Watched the new Fantastic Four fillum there, it's the same old thing really. Aside from the retrofuturistic technology it's a standard Marvel flick. Chewing gum for the eyes, Ted.

Prince of Darkness

Only my second time seeing it. I remember thinking on the first watch it was decent, but this time I really enjoyed it. I didn't remember it being so philosophical. Really cool plot and an interesting twist on devil/possession type movies.

Predator Badlands was good craic. The whole "let's do all the mad stuff from the 90s comics & books" is still working for Trachtenberg.

My second favourite Carpenter movie after the Thing. Watch it at least once a year

Agreed just back myself from it. Had low expectations but enjoyed, the brother liked it aswell and a good sign was we were chatting about it on the way home. A good stand alone scfi movie, just park the brain for a couple of hours.

Friday the 13th just started on telly. Never seen it before  8)

I made it to the end and was laughing to myself as she wakes up in the canoe on the lake,  thinking how silly it all was. The smile on her face as if all of the horror of the night before is forgotten now that she is safe and sound. So weak... then the cunt leps up or of the lake and I nearly hit the fucking roof 😂😂

It brings me a huge amount of joy that 45yrs later that scene is still getting people  :laugh:

The first one is a weird comfort film for me. One I can throw on anytime and enjoy the whole way through. I must have watched it at least 50 times.

Now watch Sleepaway Camp!

I had also made it without spoilers up until this very point. Ah well, can't win em all  :laugh:


Giggles, you're not missing much. It's fairly poor throughout with some incredibly awful acting- Mrs Voorhees is just terrible. But it's interesting and amusing all the same, perhaps mostly for its historical importance. But that end bit got me good  :laugh:

New French-made sci-fi animation at the cinema today, Arco. Magnifique! If ye've kids, keep an eye out for its release.
