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!

OK
Finally got around to seeing the hateful 8, **** I love me some Tarentino.
I watched that only recently also. Brilliant!
Is it better than Django? Because I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't like that movie.
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.
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.
Tarantino films just always have perfect casting!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
The story arc reminded me of my favourite Tarantino flick - Jackie Brown. Utterly deceitful and brilliant
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.
It works!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
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.

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.
Episode 8 will be called "The Last Jedi".
After recent events they better bubble wrap Mark Hamill and monitor his vitals 24/7 until the movie hits theatres.

Pop him into Darth Vaders bacta tank
Finally got to the movies and saw Rogue One the other night.. Can see what the fuss was about. Much excitement. No dissapoint..
Rouge one for me increases the rebels Fear of the empire and Darth Vader we see in the Original Trilogy as well as their desperation to destroy the death star

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:
OK
