Re-watched 28 Days and 28 Weeks later.
Both quality, but that opening scene as he wanders the deserted streets of London is awesome, sets the scene perfectly
Same. This may be heresy but I prefer 28 Weeks Later, primarily because of
the better cinematography, higher budget etc.Rose Byrne and Catherine McCormack. -
Possession 1981 film with Sam Neil. Supernatural psychological "thriller" set in eastern Europe I caught on an obscure channel.
Easily one of the weirdest films I've seen for a while. Very David Lynch and recommended if you're into that genre. Found it a bit forgettable though

@MN5 might even get to praise an actually good Bond Film
Villeneuve is a genius filmmaker, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Dune Pt 1 and 2
Denis Villeneuve Directing Next James Bond Film

Bond films are like Pizza. Even the not so good ones are actually pretty good.

I thought they might go to Martin Campbell again as he has history making the first good film with a new Bond actor before the quality decreases ....

Poor woman, has died a pretty horrible death in both films I've seen her in.

Some movies what I watched recently on last-minute long-haul flights, so tired and drunk and annoyed at life:
- Captain America: Brave New World ? Or some such.
-
- Forgettable
-- Literally. I watched this on flight back to NZ, and when browsing movies to watch on return flight - had to click into it before deciding I had already seen it
-- Titwatch, I assume: zero
- Forgettable
- Something else Marvel
-
- Can't remember. I'm going to assume forgettable and tit-watch zero
- Wolfs
-
- attempting to be stylish 2 major lead men bouncing off each other
-
- had its moments
-
- overall... meh
-
- at this point, I've been cut off from being served booze, but the scene of them threatening the kid not to tell his dad anything, and then going in and introducing themselves to same dad... did that make any sense? Did I miss a subtlety?
-
- it feels like there might have been tits in this? Or rather - should have been? But wasn't? I'm pretty sure it "should have been", and was a tit-watch of zero.
- Novocaine
-
- reasonable, if it didn't always add up
-
- tit-watch of nearly, I think?
-
- I'll still be re-watching Kick-Ass instead
- At least one other movie
-
- Obviously forgettable
-
- and presumably a tit-watch of zero, considering I've forgotten it
Fuck airlines. Their low tolerance for tit-watch, and their low tolerance for how many wines a man might need before even considering an attempt at sleeping in a flying noise machine filled with other fluffybunnies. Fuck'em.
-

Oh - remembered, as I was perused my list of downloaded media trying to choose tonight's final entertainment - one of the "at least one other movie" was Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
- Another case of "attempt to be stylish ensemble cast" - but... meh
- should have been positive tit-watch, but wasn't
- silly romp, liked the lady's legs

Well, you said yourself you were tired, drunk and annoyed at life.

Probably better to download something onto your own device and watch that instead
You mean - buy a tablet, load it with porn, and sit on a plane watching that?
That's... something to consider. I did manage to scare away one fellow passenger with my drunken mutterings about "fucking stupid people, don't know how to do shit, fuck them all, ..." - for the entire flight. Porn-tablet... I like that, could be even better. -

On the YVR-AKL flight. Yeah... fair enough. I was a bit of a jerk to start with. But still... could have done with just one more wine and I'd have happily gone to sleep.
But was positively fucking polite to the staff throughout. Absolutely no reason for them to stop serving me other than the sheer quantity. Cowards. -

I've never used them, but have been curious about these cheap VR setups that link to your phone. Then you could watch in privacy

F1: I should say I don't watch F1 and am not a car person. But I enjoyed the movie, if it is a bit long. Has a pretty traditional sports movie style story but everything is done pretty well, and the racing scenes are crazy.
They actually filmed the majority of the movie at the actual FI races and Lewis Hamilton was a producer so it seems authentic.

Fuck all that. The point of it would be to get every fluffybunny around me to get lost.

Don't bother. This looks like megalomaniac tech bros as interpreted by high school devotees of musical drama . At best a parody of caricatures that can't land the joke.

Bummer. Had this cued up and was looking forward to some Succession-level arseholery. Like say....
