Don't think i can compare it. Those original 3 were pretty much the first movies I ever saw so they meant something pretty special. The new one is great but it means something totally different to me now, I'm still going to watch Goodfellas 35 times a year and be more amazed. TFA isn't groundbreaking but sometimes treading on such sacred ground can be a more difficult movie to make. But they did about as good a job as they could do with it.

Sitting there with Plague Jnr (he's 6) watching him stare at that screen with his mouth wide open for 2 hours made me realise what it's like to be that kid watching something so amazing for the first time.

He is hooked, I was happy. So I guess the movie did exactly what it set out to do.

If Plague Jnr endorses it that's good enough for me.

Cheers.

Please all this Star Wars talk you all seem to be forgetting the big day 3 days from now. That's right Fox Studios release the next Deadpool trailer in 3 sleeps and it's only another 51sleeps till the Movie is released, not that I'm counting or anything.

I know trailers can be misleading but that Batman v Superman looks like a hot pile of garbage.

I reckon you are upselling it. Such a shittily done trailer. "Oh look, Batman v Superman. They clash. Then Wonder Woman shows up. Then they unite and defeat a baddie." Why not just spoil the entire ****ing movie in the trailer?

[The Dunster]

It couldn't be any worse than those woeful Avengers movies. Holy crap they were bad - and yet they still made shit loads of money. Never underestimate the preferences of mongs when it comes to movies I guess.

I'm not surprised truthfully.
Man of Steel was honking I don't know why Waner Bros and DC thought Zack Snyder would do any better with this and the DCEU planned flims.

I thought the first Avengers was good.
The only downside to Avengers 2 was that it was to compacted, the twins origins was rushed and Ultron was toned down. In the Comics Ultron is one of the greatest Villians and he can not be killed as he is a program, the way Vision just flicks him aside doesn't do justice to the Character. Marvel should have used Iron Man 3 to introduce Ultron and build the Character up, much like they are doing with Thanos and just like they did with Loki in Thor and Avengers.

after the success of the last 3 batmans I'm not sure, but unlike some I do like ben Affleck so he might be okay.

Affleck was born to be Bruce Wayne IMO and he is the only reason I'm giving BVS a chance, I just have zero faith in Snyder. He Got lucky with the 300 and that was only because of Gerard Butler everything he has done since has been garbage.

Civil War looks the Goods, The Russo Brothers nailed The Winter Soldier and it looks like they got Civil War right also. With them doing the Infinity War films the MCU seems to be in good hands.

On another note Disney are laughing all the way to the Bank.

Yeah should have mentioned GOTG. It was good, I keep forgetting its part of the Marvel group. Plus after the Lego movie Chris Pratt will get me to at least give a chance to anything he's in.
1st Cap was meh and haven't seen Ant Man tho.

Trailer looks good. Reminds me a lot of seeing Kick Ass for the first time. I thought that movie was very original and very well done.

There is a fine line between breaking the '4th wall' and being outright cheesy. It Deadpool gets it right it should be an amazing movie.

100% will watch at some stage.

[plague]

And I say this with absolutely zero idea on who Deadpool is or any knowledge of the comics etc.

Agree regarding the 4th wall it's tightrope that Deadpool comics walk but it's also synonyms with the Character and it's part of his charm. Through the advertising campaign for this movie Ryan Reynolds has been perfect in establishing 4th wall breaches and I only hope that carries out in the movie.

The R rating is a promising sign Fox has got this right.

I swear that Deadpool movie looks better every time I see a new trailer. Not only with Ryan Reynolds & TJ Miller but I love the shit out of Morena Baccarin. Loved that chick ever since Firefly.

[The Dunster]

I watched the new Star Wars movie on Sunday Night. It's about a thousand times better than I expected. Sure it's predictable and all, and we have seen it all before - but once again it feels like the real thing again unlike those crappy prequels we have had to endure since Return of the Jedi.

I wouldn't rate The Force Awakens anywhere near the standard of Empire Strikes back - but I reckon it has the other movies well and truly covered. The editing was absolutely brilliant and I cannot remember 136mins going so fast.

I'm very much looking forward to 2017 when the next instalment arrives. Hopefully they can add some depth to the characters like Empire did and make another classic.

[plague]

From what I read the next one coming (in 2016) from the Star Wars franchise is a spin off about the rebels stealing the Death Star plans leading up to Ep 4.

On paper this sounds like a fantastic idea for a movie but it has a completely different cast and crew.

Will be interesting to see if it gets anywhere near the reaction from fans.

[Grimario]

Yep - there are the new trilogy movies and stand alone movies that are being called "Star Wars Anthology Series" films.
The December 2016 one is Rogue One (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_One) - set pre Star Wars: A New Hope, about a group of Rebel spies on a mission to steal secret plans for some super weapon called a "Death Star".

There are also untitled Han Solo and Boba Fett Anthology Series films in the works and they have essentially been described as origin stories.

[The Dunster]

No more prequels pleeeeeease - they don't work. Never have and never will.

It suffers horribly from sequel syndrome but I loved the first so much that I appreciated it for what it was, and had an absolute blast watching it. If you didn't absolutely love the first movie, and either kinda liked it or hated it, I strongly suggest not watching the sequel.

I watched GRAVITY for the first time last night. Looks great and the special effects are top notch. Only problem is that there's no movie connected to it.
It's nowhere near the standard of Apollo 13 or 2001 A Space Odyssey as far as a theatre experience.

I struggled though it but it's just too piss weak to be taken seriously.

batman v superman is actually the worst movie ever made
It wasn't great but I don't think it's that bad.
It spends a good 90mins building Characters and Plots which gets dull and boring. Once the action kicks into gear it's quite good, Snyder knows how to do visual effects and smashes it. But overall the story telling and movie as a hole is substandard, "Martha" come on give me a break.
I really hope WB see the light and ditch Snyder for DCUE, problem is BvS was a commercial success at the Box Office so I can see Snyder staying on.

It barely made any sense. The editing was horrific, there was no consistency and barely any comprehensible story.

I mean Gran Torino is officially the worst movie ever made but at least it didn't take $300m to make.

But I trust Parkseys word I'll go watch it and get back to you.

[Premy]

It actually made a fair amount of sense if you knew what you were looking. Problem is it didn't cater for the casual viewers and spent to much time building the platform for the future DCEU, the time it spent building the DCEU only comic book people would understand.

It's not great and the movie is a jumbled mess but if you know the source material then you easily understand what Snyder is trying to tell.
I feel it's been critically bashed by people who don't understand the story. Is it a great movie? No. Is it a terrible movie? No
It's a sub par movie that I wouldn't recommend but I wouldn't condemn it either.

Of course people understood what the story was supposed to be about - it's not exactly a subtle film.

However, the way it was put together just made no sense; as you said, the movie is a jumbled mess. One second you've got superman saving lois from terrorists in the middle of africa then we're in metropolis with some random senator talking shit and then there's these suss dream sequences etc. The only storyline that half made sense was batman's.

I went into it knowing it had been panned and expected it to be a half-decent time waster, but jesus I don't think the reviews have been harsh enough. People in the cinema I was in were literally saying "what the **** is going on?" out loud during the screening.

I don't disagree with you, but you kinda just proved my point that you didn't know what was going on.

***Spoiler Alert***

Those suss dream sequences weren't actually dreams, it was Ezra Millar the Actor fans know that is cast as Barry Allen (The Flash). The Flash was bending time from the future to send Bruce Wayne a message, he probably done it under instruction from Bruce himself. Hence it wasn't a dream it was future Bruce sending current Bruce a message.
There's a trend in live action comic book stories that fans love and thats Easter Eggs. Most of these are subtle and don't effect the overall story as the casual viewers don't pick them, however BVS is full of them and that is one reason why the story is hard to follow. The main reason is that Snyder is a terrible story teller and he was given to much control over the script.

Ironic really as Snyder has been very vocal about Disney being to structured and controlling over Directors in the MCU and that Warner Bros have been fantastic because they're giving their Directors more freedom.

Ahk well I don't think that was well done at all and only true DC comic book fans would have possibly been able to decipher that, which kinda proves my point. But yeah I know what you mean.

Anyway I was more talking about the time when superman is on that mountain for some reason and his dead dad is there for some reason.

batman v superman is actually the worst movie ever made

What an insane overreaction. I am confident if there weren't a bunch of people on the internet saying likewise, you wouldn't be that harsh on it. Just remember - in the last 5 years even we've had Movie 43 made..

IMO the let down with it and why people didn't like it is simple, and was unavoidable regardless of how good/bad the movie was - the portrayal of the Batman realm wasn't identical to the Batman Begins trilogy one. It's a testament to Batman Begins if anything - how perfect it was. In BvS we see Batfleck, we see a shitty Wayne Manor and lake house, we see a different batmobile, Alfred is just wrong, etc. That's what I genuinely believe most people had the issue with.

BvS was alright-to-good IMO. Bit hard to follow at times but at other times was brilliant. I think an issue most of the worst-movie-ever kids would have is how fast-paced the action scenes were, too. How fxxxing annoying was Lois Lane? Played the damsel in distress role perfectly - aka just became a major fxxxxing hassle in every scene :rof:

without going heavily into it I wasn't the biggest fan.

Eisenberg & Affleck played there roles well but I agree with parksey in the fact the there was way to much going on.

I feel as though a stand alone batman film before hand could have explained batmans story so much more as I feel they rushed his story way to quickly.

[StannyCFCJET]

With the dream scenes if youve played Injustice gods among us i feel warner brothers and DC are setting up that story line or something similar for future movies. My only gripes were Alfred felt poorly casted. I mean if this is a older batman then Alfred should be Old as **** (but i do love Jeremy irons) Lex luthor was more like the joker and now that they have killed superman (he will return but he is defiantly dead atm) you cant really top that. I mean superman is a god and he died nothing will be a big as that. The scene where batman superman and wonder women were fighting together was BADASS. Ive always felt the DC characters were cooler and had more interesting storylines than the marvel characters anyway

Excuse all the spoilers..

Can we really say he's dead atm? I mean the very last scene kind of challenges that argument, right?

Snyder went into the project feeling that the Batman Origin had been overdone (which I agree with), he felt the audience already knew who Bruce Wyane was and why he was Batman.
He wanted to portray Bruce as a beanten man who is questioning why he is still a vigilanty after his lost everything that he gets close too, hence the Robin Suit with the Joker reference but no Robin. It leaves you with wondering what the Joker has done to make Bruce this way, something that will probably be answered in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie.

Again with the dream scenes, they are not dreams. Its Barry Allen bending time.

As for the path WB are heading, Lex last scene in the prison and the Batman scene in the time bend with the Omega symbol points to one thing and one thing only. Justice League V Darkseid.

It wasn't portrayed good at all and it gave no explanation as to why Bruce was having these flashes, hence the confusion with most people.
Unless Batman has all of a sudden become an Oracle there is no other explanation.

Nah you're the only one and you're always that guy.

Personally I'm a huge fan of what Marvel Studios are doing across the multiple platforms. I like the way they can take multiple genres and tones and apply that to various Super Heroes.
Take a comedy heist movie where a reformed criminal can't get a break so he has to revert back to crime and you have Ant-Man. Or a troubled orphan that is forced to do evil things and has always been treated as an outcast yet still finds a little humanity in herself to help others with the social statement of empowering females and you have Jessica Jones.
All these stories are great on their own, but then they're thrown into this fun connected Super powered Universe it's truly brilliant.

What an insane overreaction. I am confident if there weren't a bunch of people on the internet saying likewise, you wouldn't be that harsh on it. Just remember - in the last 5 years even we've had Movie 43 made..

IMO the let down with it and why people didn't like it is simple, and was unavoidable regardless of how good/bad the movie was - the portrayal of the Batman realm wasn't identical to the Batman Begins trilogy one. It's a testament to Batman Begins if anything - how perfect it was. In BvS we see Batfleck, we see a shitty Wayne Manor and lake house, we see a different batmobile, Alfred is just wrong, etc. That's what I genuinely believe most people had the issue with.

BvS was alright-to-good IMO. Bit hard to follow at times but at other times was brilliant. I think an issue most of the worst-movie-ever kids would have is how fast-paced the action scenes were, too. How fxxxing annoying was Lois Lane? Played the damsel in distress role perfectly - aka just became a major fxxxxing hassle in every scene :rof:

Each to their own I guess.

I thought Batman's storyline was the only thing about the film that was half-decent. It was good they didn't go down the path of his origin story again and I kinda liked how he was older and jagged. Agree about Jeremy Irons as Alfred, but I think he would have been alright if the character hadn't been reduced to a failed attempt at comic relief.

Overall, I have no reservations saying it was the worst film I have sat through at the cinemas. I'm one who doesn't care if a film is a bit silly, and I actually quite enjoy this wave of superhero films, but this really had no redeeming features for me. Too long, bloated, muddled story, shocking editing and writing, robotic characters who just do things for no real reason, Jesse Eisenberg - the list goes on.

I thought Man of Steel was average at best, shame they've kinda bombed this series. Cavill has had very little to work with the poor bloke.

I agree with a lot you are saying but I still partly enjoyed the film.

It does however leave you with the thought that it could have been something if done right, much like Man of Steel. For that I blame Snyder and I carry low expectations for the Justice League movies.

[plague]

I mean, **** pretty much most of these new super hero movies except Winter Solider and the original Iron Man and the Nolan ones and I might watch suicide squad but didn't they do the scene where Batmans parents died again?

Seriously, did they really do that again?

[pv4]

I don't want to sound like "that guy".. But...
Am I the only one here who is completely and utterly done with the over-saturation of horse-sh!t superhero movies, spinoffs, remakes, cross-overs, etc???
I grew up reading comics, watching the cartoons and movies but its just gotten ridiculous..

I did have a laugh as during the trailers pre-BvS I saw a trailer for Captain America, Suicide Squad & X-Men - 3 superhero movies as trailers for a superhero movie! Talk about over-saturation :rof:

But still, it's the likes of q-mon that will blast the Avengers but then inevitably wind up watching the new Capo America because we all truly, deeply wanna see Cap vs Ironman, that keep these superhero movies going. If yall are really sick of it, vote with your money and don't go watch them.

And ftr I loved Age of Ultron - mostly because of the Thor/CaptainAmerica/Ironman wisecracks and how it didn't take itself seriously :rof:

Again with the dream scenes, they are not dreams.

I genuinely don't know - was The Vision part of the comic series, and is that how he was portrayed? Or was he made solely for that movie, and that's the first anyone has seen of him?

But agreed, not exactly what I expected :rof:

Vision was created by Ultron in the comics however his Movie origin is somewhat different to the comics and I can't recall it ever being linked to J.A.R.V.I.S.
FYI Ultron was actually created by Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man in the comics and not Tony Stark. Also Ultron can not be destroyed, everytime he is defeated he recreates himself as his a program I think in the comics his upto about Ultron 17. So expect Ultron to show up in the MCU in the future somewhere

Epic Movie.
Action from the get go and everything Avengers: Age of Ultron could have been.
It's got the predictable Marvel/Disney cheesy moments but they're delivered right and not overdone. You really buy into the story and what it means to the characters personally. The Russo brothers have nailed Black Panther and Spiderman, I can see some people not being happy with Spidey but to me that's exactly how I pictured Spidey.

Hot tip, there's 2 end credit scenes don't leave after the first.

Ant-man was so boring and garbage.

The good ones are good though.

No way.
I enjoyed Ant-Man, I thought it was just a really fun movie to watch and it didn't take itself to serious. If it had of tried the it would have been terrible.

Pual Rudd was awesome and he played the part perfect IMO, mind you I laugh as soon as I see Pual Rudd Face and I'm easily impressed.

[plague]

Yes to clarify I should have said "I thought" (ant man was garbage etc etc) as it is all subjective.

I just think if you see it on its own it would be an enjoyable movie but these marvel origin stories seem to be made by placing a piece of tracing paper down on the previous one and using a different coloured pencil.

Agree on Paul Rudd I pretty much giggle at anything he's in. Just thought his natural personality was underused in it.

I'm only giving it 2 stars.

I'd prefer to watch Ant-Man over the Iron Man sequels or any of the Avengers movies.
Not saying Ant Man was great but I think it was o decent effort and a lot more accessible than some of the shit out there which requires a PhD from Marvel University to have a clue what's actually going down.

In saying that Dead Pool would be my favorite of this genre of movie and by a long way.

I watched Spectre last night on Netflix. Definitely my favourite of the Daniel Craig Bong films and a lot more like the traditional films rather than the darker version we have had to suffer through in recent times.
Good entertainment and well worth a watch if you like the older films.

Marvel has nailed it again, it's a little formulaic but if it's not broken why fix it.

I do see that argument.
The MCU in my opinion is now quite episodic so long as the character building is continual and each story is interesting then I see no problem.
In all honesty there's not to many Series or Movies these days that aren't predictable.

A side from that the visuals in Dr Strange are next level, it takes the MCU to a whole new depth and it really opens it up to many possibilities. Which in actual fact has now got me thinking where will they go from here, Ironic I know.

oh yeah don't get me wrong im not bagging it. ill shit on individual movies for sure (Ant Man, the Thor ones, Iron Man 2 and 3).
But on the whole i actually think its pretty cool there is a lot of interplay in the characters/storylines etc. The last 2 Captain America ones have been really good movies and don't exist without the build up the others.

serious though Any Man was garbage.

did i mention i didnt like Ant Man?

I watched Argo starring Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin, and John Goodman last night on Netflix. It was ok as light entertainment but I'm surprised it won Best Picture Oscar [Django Unchained is a far better movie]. In true American fashion the movie depicts all Iranians including women and children as terrorists and fails to mention some key facts which destroy it's chances of in anyway being an accurate portrayal of the truth.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 96% which is ridiculous.

Maybe it's just me.

The Terminator [1984] After 32 years I finally got around to watching The Terminator. Wow. It's a fabulous movie and for once worth all the hype. It's a billion times better than the ones that followed and once again shows that the smaller the budget the better James Cameron does with his films. Give the bloke a big budget and all he can make is shit like Titanic and then Avatar [which is pretty much just Titanic with aliens].
I never liked T2 but think now that I've seen the original I might revisit T2.

Don't sleep on True Lies. A legit big budget action popcorn flick that was pretty amazing first time round. That was the stage when Arnie first started taking the piss out of himself and was great at it, then he kept going and it all went to shit.

[q-money]

T2 is amazing, one of the best shot films of all time, if not the best shot action flick out there.

Staggeringly good when you compare it to the other CGI/live action films that came out at the time. The bit at Cyberdyne Systems and the final scenes are legit amazing when you look at them in context. Easily one of my top 3 all timers.

The Terminator is absolutely brilliant as well. Menacing, non-stop tension from start to finish. The new ones are a f*cking disgrace.

Don't sleep on True Lies. A legit big budget action popcorn flick that was pretty amazing first time round. That was the stage when Arnie first started taking the piss out of himself and was great at it, then he kept going and it all went to shit.

True Lies my god. A non stop spank fest.

Tia Carrere, Jamie Lee Curtis hnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. you could say Eliza Dushku but you could also go to jail you sick ****ers :rof:

Also you are right with Arnie, this is some of his best work. Tom Arnold is also brilliant.

In the Schwarzenegger canon, this is up there with Total Recall, Conan and Predator for sure

Man, they ****ing NAILED the ending.
Just nailed it.

[belchardo]

Very cleverly written.

[The Dunster]

Very cleverly written.

By the guy that created Adobe Photoshop and the editor of PC Gamer magazine.
Without reference to the Star Wars Universe and an ending to tie it in with the original trilogy it's just another action movie. Enjoyable and all but still nowhere near the thrill of seeing the first two movies when they came out.
I think the Force Awakens has far more potential. Rogue developed characters only to .. well ... do the obvious to them.
On the other hand though if this movie came out 30 years ago it would have saved us all the pain of having to watch those other Star Wars films.

I had never seen it before and finally watched it the other night too, actually..
It was pretty damn good..

I loved Rogue One.

I don't know where I'd rate it in the pantheon of Star Wars films but I reckon it carried more weight than pretty much any of the others.

The whole last sequence was thrilling and intense, especially the scene with Vader cutting those Rebels down at the end. Phwoar.

yeah i went back and checked the director cause i thought it might be cool to see what other movies he's made.
but for some reason he's done not much since.
i thought it was a very well made movie.

Outstanding movie.

A few years back I was in a similar boat. At the time I also watched In Bruges (watch is asap). And then i read George Orwell's 1984 which I was blown away by. That was a good month!

Finally got around to seeing the hateful 8, **** I love me some Tarentino.

Hahaha yeah I got really drunk one night and went to watch it but passed out so now every time I suggest we watch it Mrs Plague says "oh the one you passed out drunk on" and I go to my room in embarrassment and don't watch.

Heard it's good though.

[leftrightout]

I loved Django and didn't think Hateful 8 was as good, but it was still one of the better movies I've watched in a while.

The story arc reminded me of my favourite Tarantino flick - Jackie Brown. Utterly deceitful and brilliant

[plague]

Tarantino: I wrote a movie, it's got a black guy in it.
Casting agent: let's get Sam Jackson.
Tarantino: it's also got a white guy in it.
Agent: let's get Harvey Keitel.
Tarantino: ok that's lunch everybody, good job good effort.

I went and saw it a second time. It's better than average but with the shit coming out these days that doesn't say a lot. It certainly didn't look as polished as Force Awakens. Maybe that looks like it was shot on a beta-max cam look has become fashionable.
What I did enjoy was some of the comedic moments in Rogue which I think Force Awakens lacked.

I don't think anything will ever eclipse the feeling of seeing the first and second films when they came out - and trying to recreate that experience is essentially impossible.
And this is from someone that saw 2001 A Space Odyssey at the theatre when it came out - that totally blew my mind - but Star Wars took it to the next level as did Empire - it's been downhill with the occasional blip upwards ever since.

This is the Harvard MBA's doing to the movie industry what they did to music - simply recycling the same shit until it's dead... then digging it up and ****ing it's corpse.

[plague]

I watched the remake of the Magnificent Seven. It's actually quite a well made movie. I enjoyed it. Nothing groundbreaking but if you give Denzel a gun and make him angry and I'm watching the **** out of that movie.

Solid 3.5 Griffs.

The new Kong: Skull Island looks big and dumb and loud and I'll probably go see it.

Go and see "Logan". Not much of a superhero movie guy, but this doesn't really feel like it fits in this genre. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

I watched 12 Years a Slave on Netflix last night. I honestly couldn't look at the screen for many parts of the film as it was very upsetting to see. Not the greatest film I have seen but a very good message within it and a wake up call for anyone who thinks the most dangerous animal on the planet isn't a white man with money and authority to do as they please.

I thought it was an amazing movie.

The only issue I had with it was how Brad Pitt was in it - was just so, so pointless to ruin such a small role with someone with such a big name. I mean, Brad Pitt was a producer so obviously he wanted his input and why not make yourself the shining light, saving grace style character. But yeah, that was basically my only minor gripe with the movie. If it was just some random, lesser known actor, I reckon it would have been nearly perfect.

I love watching movies like that and just reflecting on how scary it is how recent it was time-wise in the grand scheme of things. Whenever I hear people say "2016 was the worst year ever" or that "this is the worst time to be alive" all I think is just watch these kinds of movies and realise how truly awful the world was, just so recently. In Donald Glover's standup set "Weirdo" he basically nails it for me:

The difference was that back then people knew they were slaves. Today, people are oblivious to the fact. But the facts are that if you are an African American you have a lower life expectancy, lower income, higher rates of incarceration, a biased judicial system.. and so on. The marketing might have improved bu the issues are just as real today as they were in the 19th century.
The occasional African American is allowed to do well to create false hope but the reality is it's still a world run by nasty inbred white-men.
I cannot imagine what is would be like to have people negatively evaluate me upon sight because of my skin colour - but that's still the reality.

If you haven't already, have a look at '13th' on Netflix. From memory backs up a fair chunk of your first paragraph.

Interesting viewing.

Yeah I understand that but most subjects these days would have enough freely available literature and documentary style viewing to give you the same perspective instead of "whoa slavery was bad BUT OH DEAR GOD HERE COMES BRAD PITT TO SAVE THEM ALL".

Yeah but that's real lyfe brah.

Oh man imagine if they made a Jets movie.........oh wait there isn't a handsome enough man in Hollywood to play Griff. They'd have to CGI him or something.

Best example recently was the OJ Simpson documentary that came out at the same time as the 'made for TV drama' (with Cuba Gooding Jnr as OJ).

I sat through 7 hours of that documentary glued and fascinated, but about 7 minutes of Travolta as Bob Shapiro and couldn't stop laughing.

Yo Dunst - you'll like Hidden Figures.

Went to see it last night. Definitely more of a fluff piece than 12 years a slave but there's still some parts of it that you can't help but be just so, so disgusted in how black people were treated in such a recent timeframe. Even such basic examples as multiple bubblers on the street having "white" and "colored" labels on them.

Definitely worth a watch.

I went and saw this recently too..
(Was tricked in to it by the Mrs with the description "its about the race to the moon" and with a title like Hidden Figures, i assumed there were aliens... Wrong...)
I got home and watched Aliens..
Then Bill Paxton passed away..
I was sad..

But back to the movie, it actually was quite good. Bit cliched or cheesy in parts, but I guess it had to be..
As you said gypo4, it does make you disgusted at how people were treated and segregated..

It was ok I guess but it did provoke a good discussion on the 'choice' our hero had to make.

I finally got around to watching Rain Man on netflix last week - I was simply too busy in my life when it came out originally. Holy shit what a fabulous movie. it was a lot more than I expected and I'd have no troubles at all watching it again soon. Tom Cruise might be a weirdo and all but you have to give the bloke credit - he knows how to bring it to the screen. Dustin Hoffman. Well he's brilliant as always. Valeria Golino made for some nice eye candy in the pic as well - although her part is very small in the movie.

[pv4]

No shame.

Watched the new Beauty & the Beast.

Emma Watson ruined it.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Full Disclosure Note: I am one of those blokes whom usually froths over E-Wat. But she fxxxing ruined it.

[plague]

Doctor Strange (in my opinion) was awful.

Ant-man with a cape.

These Marvel movies are so hit and miss man.

[plague]

On the other hand 'Hell or High Water' was a great movie.

No one does 'old racist texan' like Jeff Bridges.

However:

The music in it sounds like someone watched Fargo and thought, "cellos are dope let's do exactly that", then I read the Nick Cave was involved in the score so it all made perfect sense.

I hate Nick Cave.

Brilliant movie though.

Then I watched it, and it blew me away. Absolutely loved it.
