i've been rewatching Predator movies (in no particular order) and have just finished the original predator

it's universally accepted a great film in its genre and suspect most if not all here view it that way, and it really is a brilliant movie and something that stood out as i watched it yet again, there's not one line of dialogue in that film that's superfluous, there's not one scene that is padder, there's not one corner cut (pet peave of mine with modern tv, do it all the time, even the good ones), i wonder how many movies could claim that?

nothing in that movie shouldn't be there and nothing in that movie is missing, really is a masterclass

granted, it's the simplest of stories and the most linear of arcs but so is P2 (which i rate) and you could edit the shit out of that film and it would be a whole lot better for it

Anyone seen DC Super Pets?

My 5 year old girl loves animal stuff and DC Super Hero Girls, but just wanted to make she'd "get it" because 2 hours in the cinema with an uninterested child is hell to me.
And if the rain stops, and everything's dry.. she would cry, just so I could drink tears from her eyes.

Yeah, brought my 5 year old to see it when it came out. I think I enjoyed it more than she did  :D
She was going on about seeing it for ages before, but about an hour in wanted to go home but generally has a short attention span anyway and sometimes will have a film on 4 or 5 times to get from start to finish.

I was actually pretty disappointed that Prey wasn't based on the Video game.

Now THAT would have made an amazing film!


Tonight, off to see Nope! as the missus doesn't fancy it and is on the lash with her mates.

Sunday booked in to watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The orginal) and also booked in to see ST II and III and hope to watch them all

Also booked in to see Jaws 3D (lol) and E.T


Love watching retro films in the Cinema

I've been hoping for a film of the game Prey as well - brilliant game and perfect for a top movie, the content is so good there's no fucking excuse for a shite adaptation like most videogame films are

genuinely surprised someone hasn't done it already, prime sci fi and when you think of all the shite sci fi movies that come down the line

it almost writes itself:

act 1 origin
act II discovery/knowledge/exploration
act III escalation/revelation

anyone who has played the game can imagine how that all pans out, a very simple arc

or you could make it more interesting and take a jacob's ladder approach, fuck, i'd love that, prefect to frame it that way

some c*nt do this  :lmao

(btw have Prey (movie) soundtrack on in the background, fucking awesome, this shit is zimmer worthy)

Nope for me was a bit longer than it needed to be but I was entertained, with a few good jumpy moments in there. Keke Palmer was excellent.

Bullet train looks terrible, as does Brad Pitt these days! (for Brad Pitt)

I'd say Nope,  I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's theme's and mysteries have been swirling in my head ever since.

Bullet Trains just nonsense,  breezy watch but you've forgotten it the next day.

Finally got round to Doctor Sleep, really good film.
And so have I.
I'm really surprised there doesn't appear to be much love for the film. It was an absolute delight, typical and classic King. A wonderful revisit to one of my favourite films from back in the day. So many remarkable moments, it was an unexpected treat without, imo a disappointing ending.

Thought Prey was alright. Was solidly entertaining enough, and fun in places. Yes, it's a bit far fetched and stretches the grounds of plausibility despite it being complete fantasy science-fiction. The girl managing to best everything around her was the least grating thing about it, which is a mad thing to say. I watched it in the Comanche dub so that it removed the modern American accent out of the equation, but even then, the subtitles betrayed it. It's one of those films that's been made well enough and simplistic enough that it can get away with being entertaining and nothing more so long as you disengage the bit of your brain that says "aye, well, that's a load of bollocks". It feels a bit like a computer game without the trail and error. Naru has one life and a fuck load of power ups, and that's all she's gettin'. No respawns here. Thankfully it's set on easy mode, and she susses it all out on the first go. I liked her character, though. Anyone who complains about the fact that a 80lb girl doing up a Predator and mentions that a bunch of roided-out mercs in the first film struggled to, clearly missed the point of that. I mean, it's a valid point, but not at the same time.

Half-Life is an obvious candidate for a film. A HBO TV show would be far better choice, though. My only stipulation - and it's a vital one - is that it's given to someone who actually knows how to make a good science fiction script and can direct. Alex Garland, maybe? He'd be fine for it. Otherwise I hope they never touch it.

As an aside to this, I'm currently reading The Mist. It's really difficult to see any kind of correlation (apart from the obvious framework) between it and HL, but it's what HL was based on. The film is a perfect adaptation of the book too.

thanks, just finished Nope

taken at surface level i think it's a decent watch, slow paced but it keeps you with it and the payoff is fair

if you're into dissecting film elements loaded with social commentary (hollywood particularly gets a shoeing  ;D), metaphors and such like you can fill your boots with this one as it's packed with so much in that regard, pretty much everything in it and for me is more interesting and a better movie when all that is taken onboard

some nice performances as well (particularly Daniel Kaluuya as the brooding understated OJ) in a movie not over burdened with dialogue

Spoiler
i love keith david so was disappointed his cameo was so brief but meh, script demanded it so there's that

mindblown on that one

The mist was about Lovecraftian monsters I think.

Half Life was about Scientists dicking about with teleportation and a planet called Xen


So yeah. Totally different. Unless the mist involved scientists dicking about with stuff? I have read it and watched the film and can't remember that being mentioned or even hinted at?



EDIT: Just read this on Wiki, so guess I forgot about this, but to be fair, read the book years and years ago;

I guess the link with Half Life is this (From Wiki):  The source of this mist is never determined, but there are indications that it was caused by the storm disrupting experiments being conducted at a nearby U.S. military installation under the rumored name "Project Arrowhead".

And also this from Wiki:

The developers of the Half-Life video game series, which also deals with creatures from parallel dimensions breaking through to ours, have listed The Mist among their primary influences for the game plot.[4] The first game in the series was originally going to be called Quiver, as a reference to the Arrowhead Project from The Mist.

off the top of my head i do recall there was some installation that went pear shaped and opened some kind of portal iirc in mist - so i guess there's that, still, it's not like that's new but fair enough, they made it and if that's their inspiration, is what it is

In the book, it's only sort of insinuated or hypothesized by a character. The film made some changes that made it less vague by adding another one of the soldiers in the market and keeping him alive for the purpose of dumping some exposition and making it more clear to what actually happened with the Arrowhead Project.

Bullet Train was shite. B&M Bargains Guy Richey/Tarantino script. Brad Pitt trying to act and sound like he's 20 something. WTF!

Me and Mrs. Allerton thought it was great.

Pretty stupid script, but loads of action and irreverent madness.

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

Some bits were sort of OK (if you managed to make it to the end). There could have been a good film there with a better writer, director and editor (not asking much there, I know), but almost everything about it fell flat to me.  The incessantly shite need for shite humor in every single scene that had dialogue in it drove me nuts. Especially between discount English Begbie and the other fella.

Where did you watch it though? We watched it on the ScreenX so was really immersive
