I just watched one of the worst comedies- "comedies"- I've ever seen on Netflix called Murder Mystery.  I knew from the start it was going to be fluff but not a single joke in the whole film hit the mark,  or even came close. Jennifer Aniston being Jennifer Aniston with Adam Sandler at his most banal.  Unreal.

ffs lad, no excuses for even clicking on that shite  :laugh:

It keeps popping up for me on main screen, fuck away with that shite.

I know.  Nobody to blame but myself of course,  but some of the Adam Sandler stuff has it's moments. This one was phenomenally unfunny,  though.  Almost worth looking at to see what a comedy with no jokes looks like.  Imagine paying to see this in the cinema,  you'd be raging.

The last thing I saw him in that I liked was longest yard back in 2005..  doubt we've missed anything in the following 14 years including this shite  :laugh:

Watched it the other night too..probably explains why I feltso hungover the next day


In fairness,  using a photo from How I Met Your Mother to burn people regarding their choice in comedy is an irony too far.

..I knew this would happen  :-[

Went to see "John Wick: Chapter 3" last night.

Really good but a little bit overlong. There's one scene (I imagine if you've seen it, you'll know the one I mean) where I was just thinking "Jesus Christ. We get it, we all get it. Move this thing along.". 

That all being said - it's fucking demented and probably the best one of the series.

Keanu Reeves is nearly 55, lads. Fifty fucking five. Remember that the next time you're struggling to get off the couch to grab another can from the fridge, I know I will.

And now over to "Pet Peeves".

Apparently you helped make it the biggest opener for Netflix on record: 30 million viewers in its first weekend. Hope you voted it zero stars after!

I actually did  :laugh:

Anyone enjoy (if that's the right word) The Witch. Excellent horror thriller about puritan settlers in America and the things that go bump in the night. Apparently based on fears and anxieties recorded in contemporary (17th century) diaries and writings. Great movie, I'm just hesitant to reveal too much should anyone take a punt on it.

Yeah,  The Witch was great. Saw it in the cinema and subsequently bought the DVD, two things I rarely do.

Gave it a shot because it was getting all these rave reviews. Just couldn't see what all the fuss was about tbh, didn't click at all. Not a big film head but the last one I really enjoyed was Stan and Ollie, was surprised how much I enjoyed it given I can't make it through most modern day films these days  :laugh:

For me, my enjoyment of The Witch isn't even really about plot or actors (though Ralph whatsisname is quite good). It's the sinister creeping atmosphere and overall look/feel. Plus I love a movie that forces you to imagine the awfulness rather than over explain or rely on splatter. Must check out Stan and Ollie, a lot of good words for it on here.
