Why Roach though?

Also with Warchild being a kiwi Tr has a point.

[Tim]

@jegga You find something new every time you watch it.

[jegga]

@Tim that's true, someone mentioned earlier that watched it more recently and it occurred to them how selfish Bodhi actually was. I agree with that after realising my son hadn't seen that cinematic masterpiece and watched it with him last year.

@jegga whatever you do, dont watch the newer movie with the same name....

@jegga some lines just can't be crossed

Hara-kiri: Death of a Samurai

Like a lot of Japanese cinema, subtle and hard to watch if you have limited time. Long silences, visual references I don't get.

Apparently it was shot in 3D which would probably make it more awesome.

Old School is a classic

It really is. Doesn't detract from Will Ferrell being hit and miss though.

Mostly miss imho. Apparently is a comedic retelling of fight club.

@jegga yeah alot of Ferrels stuff is hit and miss.

Logan - lived upto expectations, excellent movie, loved the feral kid wolverine, think it woulda been better if she had Logans DNA as well, guess a good way for him to go out, leaving the world to the next wave of mutants.

Feral kid wolverine is a clone of Logan so has quite a bit of his DNA.

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan When they showed the birth cert or whatever it was, the name where the DNA came from was different, that was what I meant by the same DNA had it been Logan she was directly from

Didn't notice that, all i remember seeing was Logan (James Howlett) listed as the father.

Fair to say X-24 had a few bits of his DNA..

Two Shades of Blue (1999) ⭐ 3.7 | Thriller

1h 43m | R

Susan Price has written a #1 bestseller, a steamy novel about a woman's search for the ultimate sexual experience entitled, "The Dark Side of Judith." When Susan is framed for the murder of her fiance, billionare publisher Jack Reynolds, she eludes authorities by changing her identity and becoming the woman she wrote about in her book, Judith Anderson. To find the real killer, Susan goes undercover as a relay operator for the hearing impaired to contact District Attorney Beth McDaniels who is deaf. While relaying intimate phone conversations between Beth and her boyfriend Calvin, Susan discovers her own dark side when she becomes entangled in this voyeuristic world of deceit, intrigue and murder.

That sounds utterly awful. The blurb is shit. And an erotic movie with Gary Busey? Seriously?

I always found it utterly amazing that both he and Nick Nolte managed to craft out decent Hollywood careers given they are essentially clones of eachother. I guess one was always available if the other was busy on another project, getting wasted etc.

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil ah ok, not being a marvel nerd, didnt know James Howlett was his name, that may have been the name on the birth cert afterall.
