Free Solo: So this doco has been crazy hyped to me, so I actually resisted watching it for a while due to the hype ... but it actually lived up to it. A good doco about an odd dude and the crazy climbing he does. 4 that's crazy out of 5 climbing without ropes.
TBH I'd be more interested if it was made in memoriam.

I'm the complete opposite, that was one of the reasons I was wary of watching it.
I was glad that it wasn't a look this guy died doing this ... although there was a bunch of that in there with other free climbers, and he'll likely die soon if he keeps it up.

Watched The Mule...
Pretty good film
4 hookers out of 5 drug runs
Watched Kill Bill V1 last night, dont think has held up very well.
Number 2 was way better cos of Michael Madsen

@MN5 watched Reservoir Dogs last night, the scene with Stuck in the Middle is still awesome

That's the problem with those sorts of extreme sports - I was big into wingsuiting for a while, it has a terrible death rate ~6-10 a year. Doesn't sound like much, but there aren't a lot of people doing it. Do it often enough and you'll end up a statistic.

Quite correct. MM is the most underrated movie tough guy ever

Shazam: I was a little bit disappointed in this, it was watchable, but it's getting good word of mouth so I just assumed it would be better. 2.5 magic 8 balls out of 5 lightning fingers.

Ain't NEVER watching that.
I get the heebie jeebies at about 5th floor level*.
I know it's on a screen and I can't fall through it but ... nah.

- so not happy that we had apartment on 49th floor in Brisbane last week due to mix up in booking.

Saw half of Bohemian Rhapsody ( the things you do to impress a woman )
I’m not a Queen fan and they sure fucked with the timeline but the guys they got to play the band members could not have been cast better. Super stuff all round with brilliant performances.
Would be awesome to see a movie like this about a band that I actually love, maybe one day.

Just don’t think the demand is out there for Nickleback: The Movie.

I probably like Nickelback and Queen about equally.
I also see they’ve sold 50 million albums somehow, super effort for a band the whole world apparently hates

I'm not cool enough to hate nickelback, some of their songs are great.
Yeah I find the hate for them somewhat baffling to be honest. I mean they’re pretty bland compared to what I consider real rock but there are a truckload of worse bands out there in my opinion

I enjoyed it, but felt it was pretty much your bog standard bioflick until they reinacted the entire Live Aid set. That was absolutely amazing.

I didn’t see that bit and my statute for ‘impressing’ is over and I’m unlikely to bother....
Farting in front of her is only a date or two away
