Film

[Carnage]

A ridiculous amount of stuff alright. The short story collection I have is a proper brick of a yoke.

I had to do the same with the Odyssey series a few years back, enjoyed the reread though (even if 3001 is shite).

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Since it was on there, decided to give that Lucille Ball biopic starring Nicole Kidman a go. Turned it off after about 20 minutes. Not bad, just boring and poor quality; looks like a straight-to-video or made for TV biopic of old.

Just watched the new Mateix fillum. Big pile of shite. Generic and predictable in the extreme, with none of the feel or character of the previous ones. Makes the sequels look like The Godfather.

Only good Matrix film was the first one. A truly amazing film that's still brilliant today. Should have had 1 sequel and finished it.

Absolutely no need for another sequel but sure even lads who are 99% certain it's going to be shit will watch it anyway 'has to be done shur'. I count myself among their number but I'm yet to watch the Dumb and Dumber sequel or this. Yet...

Oh yeah, I'm one too. It looked crap from the trailer but is even worse than I'd expected.

The Dumb and Dumber sequel is beyond atrocious. Don't do it.

[Necro Red]

Rewatched Manhunter last night. It has dated, but is still very good. The music probably makes it that bit more dated, although it's great too

[Carnage]

It pisses on the remake, and I thought Cox's Lektor (I think that's how it was spelled in Manhunter?) was great too. I must read the books again, fantastic stuff - apart from Hannibal Rising, obviously.

Aye that trilogy of books are fantastic.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Watched Don't look up last night. Enjoyed it.

I've watched the first two Transformers films with the young lad over the holidays having never bothered seeing them before. Brainless dumb fun up to a point, but fuck me if they don't pull the arse out of them with the 2.5 hrs running time.

All the huh-ha 'look at how cool the US military is' shite is contemptible, but the plot is so preposterous it'd make a toddler shake his head in disbelief.

Michael Bay, but. No point whining I suppose.

[Carnage]

They're appalling, especially for someone who was a huge fan of the cartoon/movie/comics/toys as a kid. It'd be something if they actually looked like the originals, but they're all generic, indistinct, pointy 'shapes' - particularly during the action scenes, where you can see nothing that's happening in the metallic blur of it all.

I've actually just finished watching War For Cybertron: Siege on Netflix, not hugely exciting but at least they look the part.

[Ollkiller]

Transformers is like Marvel to me. A big huge pile of fucking meh.

[Emphyrio]

The first one was great , I thought. On the big screen. Only Megan Fox on the motorbike stands up to repeated viewing. The follow ups are daft.


Stumbled on The Man in the Iron Mask yesterday. Hadn't seen it in years. Nobody does a tale of betrayal and vengeance quite like Dumas.
