maryportfuncity 10,694 Posted May 17, 2017 Saw a double bill at the weekend of Aaaaaaaaa! and Prevenge - gloriously bad taste jokes and both movies were Q&A with the director/star answering questions afterwards. The first one is especially strange and includes a death by blowjob/bite scene that is particularly memorable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaaaaaaah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,325 Posted May 18, 2017 Saw the new King Arthur with some guys from work. As a King Arthur film, it was breathtakingly atrocious. As a generic fantasy film that is trying to be hip and postmodern, maybe half marks, if it is lucky. The writers basically just took a few names from Arthurian lore (Arhtur, Vortigern, Uther, Bedivere and "Percy") and the trope of the sword in the stone and went off and wrote their own film about it. Full of historical anachronisms too but I suspect the filmmakers were deliberately being ironic in that regard. At least the Welsh backdrops (it was filmed on location in Snowdonia) were gorgeous. Would have just preferred two hours of Welsh scenery with no pesky actors (or CGI giant elephants and snakes for that matter) running around like loons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So this film only became strange for you when they got to the death by blowjob scene? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gravitate towards low- or medium-budget works that have critical acclaim of some sort (I'm a sucker for a DVD cover with some award symbol as a winner/entry for one film festival or another). I will watch/rent my share of Hollywood flix, generally after the Oscars (catch up on why someone won an award e.g.), but prefer the former.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,325 Posted May 29, 2017 @Bibliogryphon FWIW, here is Trailer 3. IMHO, it is much better than trailer 2 (no where near as many guns being fired everywhere - I suspect Trailer 2 was put out to cater to the American market) but really it is just more of the same: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted July 29, 2017 Finally got round to watching John Wick 2 last night, which led to a google search on the wee lesbian mafia thing. Her grandfather was the last surviving Anzac from Gallipoli. And not google related, but I Also found out today that the Scott in Kirsten Scott Thomas is for the 'of the Antarctic' great great uncle. Nothing 'worthy' but what I learned today, deadpool connections thing I suppose. Film was v good as a sequel btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cara Delvinge was nice but the truly damning thing about the film was Rihanna was the best thing in it. Yep, totally agree with you on every point. Besson managed to dumb down the story to make it worse than the comic books upon which it is based. Completely rewriting the main characters as a pair of trigger-happy space soldiers from the future (in the comics they are anything but) is a travesty. As someone pointed out online, it is exactly like making a big flashy film about, say, the Tenth Doctor and Rose, and rewriting them as a pair of super soldiers from future earth. In the comics, Laureline hates, for instance, arms dealers and would never hurt a Shingouz (the little informants) so that gives you some idea of how much her personality was changed for the film. Also, in the last episode of the comic, one of Val's cloned offspring says how proud he is that his dad has never ever killed anyone. Had to laugh at that after the film version's shooting sprees... Hilariously though, it has a much better audience rating than The Last Jedi on Rotten Tomatoes. What are your thoughts on that film, @Bibliogryphon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
