    @canefan Tom is obviously pulling a fair few G's there, pushing all his skin back...

    He susposed to be in the actual cockpit, look legit?

    A quick google search reckons he does have a pilots licence and did fly planes for the movie but I assume they took cockpit footage from another plane and merged it with the fighter plane shell for the movie. Either way it looks good and gives me wood as that movie was a highlight of my youth.

    I read that he was in the cockpit, but it was a two seater with the actual pilot behind him.

    Cool, I thought I read that somewhere too, looks good either way.

    @chimoaus Yep. He's the gold standard of action films after that last mission impossible.

    Hmmm, I stopped watching at 3:09 with the plane on a stick:

    That is not an A4 Skyhawk unless there has been something else called that since the RNZAF had them and they appeared in the first Topgun.

    Too hard to believe that he knew what he was on about to go on watching after that.

    Have been enjoying you and Machpants plane musings.

    Uncut Gems

    Movie felt a little uncut at times but it's chaotic and compelling.

    Sandler is very good chanelling his inner Turturro.

    @antipodean On it's way to being a cult classic already.

    The trailer looked shit, it does not look like the type of movie I would ever watch, even to get laid, so if it is closet good, I'll just have to deal with never seeing it.

    I do recall one poster seemed pretty excited about the trailer though...

    Les Miserables has the best story hands down

    Thought I hated musicals until my cousin's wife got me a ticket to see Les Mis in London. Absolutely blew me away, reckon I must have seen it 4 times now. No other musical has come close, (We will Rock you/Rock of ages/Chicago/Evita/Phantom/Book of Morman ranged from just tolerable to good..but not justifying the price.

    Really looking forward to 1917, reviews are glowing and it is a genre I like.

    @chimoaus reviews were glowing for Dunkirk, and it was pretty awful - art rather than war movie. Hopefully this is not the same.

    @Machpants I didn't mind Dunkirk, saw it at the movies which is a rarity these days, the dogfight sequences in the spitfires was a highlight. But yes it was a little hollywood with some of the scenes. Might take the old father-in-law to 1917.
