    @mariner4life someone suggested a podcast here recently and I got around to listening to a bit - it was basically the same gist, family didn't know and Madoff didn't seem remorseful about anything, except feeling sorry for himself.

    Yeah , it's worth checking out as the only part that affected him was his sons reaction The funniest part was a couple of his clients twigged that he was crooked and ripped him off but there was nothing he could do about it without admitting he was crooked . Man was the whiny little shit pissed off with them . Apart from that he came across as an amoral turd.

    The misso is away for work, so I've seen a few movies this week

    Deepwater Horizon: Not too bad. i fucking love a disaster movie, seeing shit get royally fucked is always fun. This one wasn't too bad. Glad they didn't drag it out too long, the length was about right. Only one gratuitous "USA!" shot as well. All the usual boxes ticked, except the evil uncaring dicks in suits are this time evil uncaring dicks in polo shirts and hard hats. Entertaining
    3.5 budget overruns out of 5 corporate dicks

    Everybody Wants Some!! Thought this was billed as the spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused. Bullshit. This movie completely lacks the heart of D&C, and focuses on the stupider parts of that movie. It's essentially a 2 hour (yea it's surprisingly long) "story" about a college baseball team bonding the weekend before classes start. And then at the end the main dude gets a girlfriend on the first day of uni? Who he hasn't fucked? That's some bullshit right there. Couple of funny moments, but probably best viewed hungover (pretty sure only one set of tits in the whole movie, which, given the "plot" is desperately disappointing)
    2.5 bad mustaches out of 5 competitive lads

    Cars 3. Always the weakest of the Pixar franchises, but i believe the most profitable? Hard to believe it got a third after the terrible 2nd. First thing, Pixar are really fucking good at animation. While the cars are still cartoonish, wait for some of the countryside backgrounds in the middle part of the movie, incredible. Now, this isn't actually a story for kids. Well, no, there might be two stories, but they probably miss the main one. It's a story about getting old, and the hole that can be left by finding out you can't do what you love the most. Guys who no longer play sport? It's aimed at you. Of course the story for the kids is "never give up on your dreams" but that involves focusing on another character. It's not terrible, but it's certainly no Toy Story 3 either.
    2.5 shit my legs have got slow out of 5 look at that young quick prick, I'm going to stand on him in a ruck

    Saw Baby Driver last night. Had no idea what to expect, only that the reviews were good and I'm a fan of Edgar Wright.

    Was very good indeed, really creative action flick with an awesome soundtrack. Mix of Tarantino, Guardians of the Galaxy, Kingsmen and Drive. Jamie Foxx and John Hamm particularly outstanding. Thoroughly recommend.

    Kiera Kightly is a fucking pretty woman.

    I like curves, but she's still good to look at

    Are we just reviewing actresses in the movie review thread now? 😉

    In that case, Brie Larson is hot in a 'real' kind of way.

    See, Kunis always came second to Rachel Bilson to me in the midget hot brunette race

    Lion

    Bloody hell, outrageously emotional movie. The better half basically spent the whole two hours in tears. Pretty amazing story very well told, hard to fault it. India is a fucked up place, huge disparity between rich and poor and 80 odd thousand kids go missing every year which is absolutely nuts.

    Would recommend.

    4.5 long train rides out of 5 lost children.

    Yes, the emotional payoff in "Lion" was huuuuuuge when spoiler happened. I fucking cried like a 6 year old girl with a skinned knee.

    I really enjoyed that film.

    Lost City of Z. Epic and long. Not for everyone but I enjoyed it. Hunman makes a steaming pile of shit and then a corker. Seems to be his career arc.

    Speaking of Bries... Alison Brie. After analysing my own filthy mind, I think it's the innocent looking face coupled with eyes that yell at you she's dirty as fuck. And then hearing her talk in interviews to confirm that yes - dirty, filthy, little, minx.

    BLack BUtterfly, Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Rhys Myers, Piper PErabo.

    Decent enough thriller, at 90 mins is a good length not dragging shit out too much, with a decent twist (except for the most pathetic additional 10 second twist at the very end)

    Banderas is a struggling writer who has had limited success trying to sell his idyllic cabin in the middle of no where, when a chance encounter with the seemingly nomadic Rhys Myers sees things take a change for the worse.

    3 random hitchhikers our of 5 twists.

    LIfe, Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhall.

    A thriller set on the ISS where they discover an organism from Mars. Bit of a poor mans Alien

    2.5 pieces of chewing gum out of 5 obvious endings

    I've always said that Alison Brie is some decent melanin away from being the perfect woman.

    Really , we need some rules in this place. If a woman gets two or more mentions as having all the attributes to appeal to superficial people such as ourselves a photo needs to posted.
