@Snowy don’t come in here with your pesky facts.Sorry about that. Just thought I'd try something new.
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.
3.5 carats out of 5

@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...

I went to this in London 15 years ago and fcking hated it. Conversely I thought Les Mis was unbelievably good.
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.

@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.

I really like Dunkirk

TH dog fight scenes were nice, but the end (where he had the infinite glide mode enabled) was terrible. And the decision for no talking was so immersion breaking, no one is going to not say thanks/cheers/wahtever after you've just saved your life - jarring as. I saw it at the cinema too, but I went expecting a war movie and got an art house piece. With real Spitfires and (quasi) 109s, which was nice, but I've played with the real thing.

Really looking forward to 1917, reviews are glowing and it is a genre I like.
Let me get this right; the premise is two men go wandering off into previously enemy held areas to prevent a regiment walking into an ambush? Because there's no other way to get the message through?
The film making is going to have to be awesome for me to to not sit there saying "bullshit" to myself the whole way through.
I think I'd rather watch Blackadder 4 and Journey's End again.

@Machpants 100% re the gliding dramatic scene, one of my bug bears in any TV/Movie is the bullshit factor, like that would never happen in real life. Its ok in fantasy, action but I struggle when it is supposed to be based on reality. I was in the Police for years so I have a sore spot when it comes to inaccurate Police shows etc.
