So have any of you Snyder fans actually watched
Star WarsFireflySeven Samurai/The Magnificent SevenRebel Moon yet?It's definitely not as good as I was hoping but decent enough. At least those bad South Africans were killed.
The R rated version might be more interesting.
I made the mistake of watching a Snyder cut once, never again.
Speaking of Snyder ...
Aquaman: The DCEU went out with a whimper, hopefully the DCU under Gunn will be better.
Very average movie, would have been worse if not for Momoa and Patrick Wilson.
Kidman looks like she was CGI. Still funny that Aquaman is half Aussie and half Kiwi.
Best thing about it, less than two hours long.
I watched Rebel Moon.
Not recommending.
Most interesting thing was probably how bad 3 of the supporting actors were (but Charlie seemed to have fun).
It was like a poor man's Luc Besson movie with a Virtual Production/Unreal Engine backdrop but none of the crazy but cool French crap, and the director had forgotten to direct the actors.
Even the Hopkins narration was a phone-in job.
Good gymnastics, mind. -
@nostrildamus I persevered for about 20 minutes but found it unwatchable.
0 effort out of 0 film-making.
Dire. -

New Star Wars flick sounds like a lighthearted romp

Perhaps wikipedia is wrong - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tank_Museum#Film
Also https://www.livescience.com/48245-fury-film-ww2-tiger-tank.html
Definitely not in Cairns: https://tankmuseum.org/article/the-enduring-appeal-of-tiger-131
Tank museum in Bovington
re Tiger
It's 70 years old, it may look big and butch but it is delicate, so many things can go wrong on it...
No change there then!

I love Scarface. Pacinos best role ever.
Not a patch on Carlito's Way IMO. For either Pacino (whose range in Scarface appeared to be the volume with which he yelled) or de Palma. A B grade movie like most of his efforts, which makes me wonder who really directed The Untouchables.

Carlitos Way is also very good yes but by god the ending fucks me off. His mate Pachanga goes from wanting to kill Benny Blanco to working for him ??? That doesn’t feel right. Also he takes the bullets from Kleinfelds gun but he still gets the drop on the guy who comes to kill him ?
But yeah, maybe Scarface wasn’t Day Lewis/Oldman level method acting but fuck AP nailed the role like no one else and I loved how GTA Vice City ripped off so much of it. I’ll always love it as a flick provided I have a break before watching it each time

Looks like the only uncomfortable men will be the Disney execs who greenlighted her

I'm Carlito's Way over Scarface too. Great performance and film. Can't be too down on De Palma because as you note he made this and the Untouchables.

What's this about because I'm not clicking on a tweet from Matt Walsh?

Well, if it's picking a Pacino film then I'm The Godfather over every other movie that exists in the world.

Worth
Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci in a flick about the compensation fund for 9/11 victims.
While I know about the ongoing first responder cases, I found this interesting in terms of thinking about whose fault a terrorist attack is.
Good movie for a sleepy Sunday arvo on the couch

The story of the first black man to play MLB. Chadwick Boseman stars with Harrison Ford as the occasionally irascible team owner. Another sleepy Sunday arvo movie but really interesting to see the history of that.
Hard to believe that a guy could get into OCS, be prepared to fight for his country, then still get treated like that.
Was a different time.

Good to see Harrison going against type. He’s usually so cheerful

The Family Plan
- 5 minutes in, one could pause, write the plot of the next 90 minutes
- Marky Mark - confused? Then angry. Then confused-angry? Quip! Repeat.
- Tit-watch: zero
Possibly addled review due to the 8% beer in sun...
- Surprisingly enjoyable, lightweight, dumb fun formulaic bullshit. Perfect for after 2 litres of a double-IPA.
Did I mention, tit-watch: zero?

Four Pirate Life IIPAs would have me near incapable of providing a quality review.
Hmmmm.
