Movie review thread...

Revisiting the original reviews is baffling. Many critics didn't even understand it was satire - was it not enough for them when Doogie Howser showed up in a gestapo uniform, or at the end when the troops joining up are about 12 years old?
Maybe the best description was that it was "the movie that society would make about itself".

@Tim Yeah... I've never gone reading the original reviews. I assume it would be fun...
It's just fun watching the sequels, and trying to figure out... are you just oblivious? Do you have any idea about the satire? Or... a mixture? Or... just... a combo, money-grabbing no matter what. -
Loved Star Ship Troopers and i also tracked down the sequels several years ago...they are so bad, flashing light in the barrel of the guns to show when theyre firing bad

Yep…….surely one of the worst sequels in relation to the first movies ever.
The guns looked so shit.

The Dirt.
Motley Crue biopic. It's a great watch, goes pretty much so as you'd expect, the day in the life part of Tommy Lee is hilarious.

Was this a movie? I thought it was a TV show.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it but now I’m questioning myself. 🤣

Fury
War epic with Brad Pitt as the boss of a tank. I found it fascinating, and it's always interesting to see another view of day to day life in the wars. Pretty predictable on the whole, but a decent war movie.
4 bad shots out of 5 good shots.
shit piece of trivia
The Tiger replica they built for this move is in the Armour museum here in Cairns

You're getting confused with the Pam & Tommy show mate. Easy mistake to make.
You're welcome.

Nope, I know that's a show, thought The Dirt was too. I blame streamers.

Are you sure? IIRC they all came from the tank museum in Dorset.

unless the sign on it is just blatantly and straight up lying, yes.
It wouldn't surprise me, it's a fucking impressive collection, someone has spent a fortune on it

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

the one in Cairns is a replica of Tiger 131 made for the movie
"In 2016, the museum workshop undertook construction of a Tiger 1 replica. This utilised a highly accurate, partially constructed Tiger 1 that was originally constructed for the movie Fury, which in itself was an accurate replica of Tiger 131."
so there is one thread thats not allowed to have unverified statements apparently
-
yeah, you missed the word "replica" built for the movie
Though social media tells me they have built a Tiger, and now i need to go see that
