I've only seen the cam footage on youtube but... those CG characters look fucking terrible.

Lightspeed · 21st December 2016, 14:35

Warcraft turned out to be okay. I had low expectations, but it's got a lot going for it. Fantastic CGI.

_Incubus_ · 21st December 2016, 14:40

It is interesting watching the trailers for Rogue One and seeing tons of stuff that didn't make the final cut....I guess those rumors about extensive reshooting were spot on..

Tarkin I could handle, Leia just looked weird..

Ab · 21st December 2016, 14:47

The accidentally-released The Mummy trailer is fucking hilarious.

I'd happily watch a sitcom with K2 and TARS in it.. would be funny as hell

Moana, fuck me I cried

A cartoon superhero is facing certain death against a supernatural enemy and in response he performs Kapa o Pango, in a Disney movie, omg

Watched Krull this evening with my lad.

There was a movie that must have come out early 80's and I vaguely remember a scene where someone is given a magic rock but throws it away thinking it's useless however it proves its use when they end up trapped underwater ... what fantasy movie was this?

caravan of courage?

MadMax · 16th January 2017, 16:25

That looks like it. I was wondering for a moment if it was a scene out of Star Wars

fixed_truth · 18th January 2017, 12:04

Arrival - the ending was good but apart from that I f found it very overrated.

Moana - a bit long for a kids movie but done really well, zero cringes had.

You know that our cultural production has reached its apex when the most important variable for determining whether something is good or not is how much that thing made you cringe.

Penn Jillette's recent podcast about his stop off in Auckland wasn't too bad. Managed to slip in the correct amount of sheep fucking references. And it's the only place outside of the US he would consider living.

Thinking of taking the girl along to see Hidden Figures on Saturday night.

Had an incident over Xmas where her gran asked why she got boy's toys for Xmas when the daughter showed her the gummy bear piano on the makey-makey. Gran was on the receiving end of many sideways glances.

I mean, she'd previously knitted with EL wire, baked a TARDIS gingerbread cake that included an audio playback circuit, and dropped off Contreau brownies and an arduino based laser cat toy to the local celebrity chef.

I don't think she is lacking in the girly department.

Disney Pixar has released a video proving that all their movies are linked.

The video points out small “Easter eggs” that were planted in their movies that serve as a nod to past and future projects.

The second sentence is a statement of fact, the first sentence is clickwhore spam shit made up by News Ltd.

The video is a compilation of easter eggs and references that everyone already knows about.

This looks like the worst movie I'm going to watch five times.

Logan

This one looks awesome.

Briefly got excited, thought it was going to be a Logan's Run remake for a moment.

Lightspeed · 20th January 2017, 23:11

Huh, I watched that recently but I can't recall when. It holds up well I think. Still creepy as I remember as a kid.

Deadmeat · 6th February 2017, 14:01

Doctor Strange was crap. If you cut out all the inceptioning around the movie would be half the length.

Ab · 6th February 2017, 17:13

Watched the new Magnificent Seven. Not exactly art but entertaining. The cinematography was breathtaking though.

Watched in the weekend. Agreed on the inceptioning, and it was so blatant that I had that feeling that some movie exec had a hardon specifically for it. Like, some exec producer wrote in big red marker on the movie outline "DO THE TWISTY CITY SHIT FROM INCEPTION, NOT GREENLIGHTING THIS OTHERWISE".

Cumberbatch's American accent was naff, in that educated-British-actor-failing-to-sound-American-Hugh-Laurie-House kinda way. But I thought he nailed the character. Good casting. I've always had a boner for Mads Mikkelsen I mean Rachel McAdams so no complain of product there. Thought Tilda Swinton was pretty win as the Ancient One.

I'll be honest not the hugest Strange fan growing up so some of the internal references went over my head. But I thought the movie was pretty good. Not Avengers or Winter Soldier or Guardians of the Galaxy good, but a strong B+. I fucking loooooooved the dark dimension sequences though, that was some trippy Steve Ditko shit.

Apparently she's the bookies' odds-on fave for Doctor 13. That'd be pretty cool.

blynk · 24th February 2017, 13:11

It would be cool, but there no doubt would be a backlash over it.

Re: Ghostbusters remake - before people had already seen the movie many had written it off.

Deadmeat · 24th February 2017, 15:30

re: Strange. Admittedly I knew nothing about the character so that didn't help, but I could say the same thing about Ant Man which I really enjoyed.

Watched Arrival the other day (Amy Adams + Hawkeye), Aliens arrive on earth and we have to work out how to talk to them. It's a slow boil but the ending gets inside your head and left us thinking. A little wibblywobbly timeywimey perhaps but still worth the watch.

Saw Logan this afternoon.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

It is really excellent. It's the first movie in quite a while where I have had real emotional buy in. There were tears more than once.

I... Just... Wow...

It was pretty awesome and really glad it had a R rating. It definitely gave it a better feel.
Although I wonder if they did overdo the killing a bit?
