Demolition Man tonight... for reasons

The Redux version? It's great. The documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now is excellent too. Think it's just called Heart of Darkness, or something similar.

Bloody great stuff

It's amazing alright

Went to see 'Good Boys', I can actually usually enjoy dumb Seth Rogen type comedies but I thought there would be more laugh out loud moments, some funny moments but was expecting more.

It does get some points for having a scene featuring Race With the Devil by Judas Priest though, pretty obscure track for the type of film.

Watched the trailer after skimming through an article on it. Looked awful.

Rewatched Pan's Labyrinth tonight, enjoyed it much more than first seeing it in cinema for some reason.

Watched the new Tarantino today.  Dunno what to make of it really.  It didn't feel like a Tarantino flick until the very end.  Not bad but not great.

[Pentagrimes]

Yeah saw it myself last night.. it was enjoyable but seemed a bit disjointed or something.

Was thinking about it this morning. I think the clue is in the title really - it's a modern day fairytale version of that time period where unlike some of the real life events picture, there's always a happy ending. But it did feel a bit like two films thrown together.

I'm definitely a Tarantino fanboy, and have to say I really enjoyed it. If I had a criticism, I'd say it felt like there was too much driving early on, an excuse for Q to get a bunch of tunes in. Anyone else think Polanski looked like Austin Powers?

I liked it, though a couple of my friends who came with me left after about an hour. To be fair, it took a long time to get moving and could have been trimmed a tad. I heard the original cut was over four hours long  Seemingly Tatantino created very extensive and detailed back-stories for Rick and Cliff to give Leo and Brad a greater understanding of their relationship, even though none of it was filmed or ever intended to be filmed. It was purely just so they could understand their characters better. The scene at the ranch was superb and the ending was well done, too.

I also went to see Hobbs & Shaw, the Fast & Furious spinoff on the recommendation of a friend. I haven't seen any of the F&F films and expected it to be utterly mindless but entertaining which, to be fair, it largely was. Spoiler alert - the major revelation, which is explained so blatantly that even a champion of simpletons could grasp it, that people can achieve more if they work together, took my intelligence and wiped its hole with it. Honestly, you'll see more complex mental leaps in an episode of Peppa Pig and presented in a far more subtle way.

Amazing 

On the old site they used to emblazon certain quotes on the main page...this would definitely win hands down

Went to see Once Upon a Time... last night, I really enjoyed it but I can understand why someone wouldn't.

It's not really a plot based movie but I just enjoyed watching the main three actors perform, Brad Pitt especially stole the show. The scene with Sharon Tate in the cinema was brilliant too.

I did think it was a bit fucked up that they made a joke of Bruce Lee but treated Polanski rather respectfully though, as funny as the Bruce Lee scene was.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Not seen it yet but I heard his daughter /estate were less than happy with that scene.

[Pentagrimes]

yeah, I mean it's played for laughs but it makes him look like a dick. Logically considering that that rest of the film you realise is a sort of inversion of real events, it's understandable but if I were his family I'd be fairly upset. And Tarantino was a prize cunt about it in the press.

[Eoin McLove]

What did old Quentyballs say?

[Pedrito]

Is the whole Bruce Lee mythology not worthy of taking down a peg or two though? Saying that having not seen the film or scene referred to.
