apparently broken movie traffic records on Youtube...hope they do it justice, scary AF when I was 12!
We rewatched It at Xmas, was much better in my memory seemed very cheesy .
was made for T.V so that didnt help.
Was a hell of a book to read, thing about Stephen King is that he does love to waffle on..Was he in the middle of his coke addiction when he decided the kids should all bang the girl? Hope they left that weirdness out of the movie like they did the mini series.
Most of his books had a sexual angle or elements of.
He sure loved describing it..Havent read much of his but in my late teens and early 20's i read just about everything he wrote.
Hard to go past his classics, shame most never made any good on the small or big screen.
Bar The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption. -

Bar The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption.**You don't rate Misery, Stand By Me, or Christine?

I re-watched It and was pretty bad in parts but still some creepy shit in there that stirred childhood memories.
I am used to seeing shitty remakes, as we all are these days and don't hold out much hope. But, and its a big but, if the trailer is an indicator(which often they are not..) of quality then it'll be good.

Logan
Not sure what I liked more, Old Wolverine's last stand, or little chick Wolverine fucking shit up. I think I must have missed a movie though, because I wanted to know how they got to the apocalypse point where all the X Men were decimated, and Charles lost the plot. I also didn't get how the younger mutant Logan Wolverine who fucks shit up at the end came about. A couple of scenes in this movie put dust in my eye, but man it was satisfying when certain people got decapitated and/or disemboweled.
4 road trips to Eden out of 5 Laura! Not okays!

Forgot those ones, have at times enjoyed his short stories or novellas too
Ones like The Mist are a good read because they are short and much less waffling. -
Batman V Superman Shorter Fan Edit Removes the DCEU Storylines
With a large portion of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice dedicated to setting up the future of the DCEU, a fan edit removes these connections.
This was interesting, cut all the world building, doomsday and tightened the editing up. Some off the more goofy moments were cut.
Obviously taking an hour off the end, and knowing what was missing, sort of ruins the end of the film. But the build up was much better, and shorter.
Ultimate cut is still the best, can't cut Wonder Woman she was a highlight!

Re-watched an oldie on the weekend, Southern Comfort.
Probably late 80s early 90's, set in the Louisiana swamps where some National Guard are on a training exercise end up pissing off some Cajuns who end up hunting them.
3 dead National Guards out of 5 swamp rat Cajuns

I remember watching that in the mid 80s (someones older brother had rented it) and being freaked out by it. I think it's from the early 80s.
-
@Nepia yeah I remember thinking it was pretty scary back then too...not so much now, but a decent watch still, fairly simple movie that doesn't rely on effects or anything, so stands up well given it was made in 1981!! (just checked)

@taniwharugby Walter Hill is the director. If you've seen The Warriors, it has the same sort of atmosphere.

Lego Batman. Funny and fun, but not as good as the Lego Movie
3.5 chiseled abs out of 5 'ships

I watched this, and while it wasn't quite what I was expecting, it was ok, but £7 from a single ticket sale...plus, when I was in the UK in early 00's, a ticket was more than £7 too!
A couple of lines amused me....
Once a bankable box office topper in Hollywood blockbusters like Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
When was that movie a blockbuster, it doesn't deserve to have Indiana Jones at the start.
the star has earned more attention for his off-set shenanigans than his work in recent years, including a recent scuffle that saw him arrested for assaulting a Nazi sympathiser at his anti-Trump art installation in New York City.
Don't see the issue with beating down on a Nazi!
-
@taniwharugby I think that $780m at the box office still rates as blockbuster even if Indiana Jones fans weren't happy with the quality of the film .
-
@Nepia nah, it sucked, no blockbuster, never in a million years!
Way to ruin a perfectly good point I made!

Haha sorry man. I haven't seen it, TBH, I've never been a big Indiana Jones fan - he's no Han Solo.

Shia le bouef occupies a rung in my famous person life lower than Brad Haddin and keen followers of my insightful cricket posts will know that's the lowest of the low. How THE FUCK this shitcunt ever got a film role is beyond me. You look at blokes like Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio etc and can see they're pretty cool dudes, superb actors and obviously appealing to the ladies. Shia le whatshisname has NONE of these qualities whatsoever. He's just a talentless fluffybunny in my eyes. Indy 4 might have been ok if a different guy has that role.
His name is also the stupidist handle in Hollywood history.
What does he offer a movie?
If doing it means punching him repeatedly I'll happily step up
