Did a bit of flying and caught up with some movies.
Black Panther - I enjoyed it but glad I was pre-aware that it had been massively overhyped. 3.5 ethno-states out of 5.
3 Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri - Gripping but it seemed a little far fetched which kind of tempered my enjoyment for some reason..you know for a movie that was kinda realistic rather than a straight up fantasy. 3.5 midget dates outta 5.
Avengers (new one..) - Waaaay better than the last Avengers, time seemed to fly by. 4 outta 5 infinity stones.
I also re-watched 'Fight Club' which I hadn't seen in a number of years. I was a little nervous about doing it as a number of older movies haven't lived up to my memories of late. Well I needn't have been. Solid 5 punches in the ear outta 5. Easily my favourite movie of all time.
I reckon Fight Club is one of THE most overrated movies of our times. It's ok but no more than that.
@mariner4life @Bones anyone of you want first crack at this?
I’m not sure where to begin..Leave @MN5 alone Virgil! We know he is a bit too dim to 'get it'

This from the guy who didn’t like Avengers 3 as much because it had a sad ending or summink

How did you think 3 billboards was far fetched?
Hard to put my finger on exactly, much of the characters actions just didn't seem likely, found it very difficult to engage my 'suspension of disbelief'. Still enjoyed it though.

I can only assume this is a troll. Or a russian bot. No red blooded male would ever make such a statement, even in jest.

Christ on a bike. I'm not saying I don't like it I'm just saying it's very overrated. Bloody difficult on this thread sometimes, people get triggered easier than SJWs.

@mn5 speaking of triggered...
Is self triggering a thing?
Actually, I'm of the opinion that Three Billboards is somewhat unrealistic (but all of the McDonagh brothers films are a wee bit unrealistic). I don't think it's the stone cold classic people are saying it is (Rockwell's arc especially requires way too much suspension of disbelief. But it's a good movie that I enjoyed while watching.

Isn’t she discussing self triggering?

@jegga I'm not watching that - have you ever spoken with a medical professional over your tendency to self-harm?
Check out the fat shamer everyone.
Seems to me she says she self triggers five times in 22 seconds .

oddly, the movie title tells you what it is about...but is alot of background to why the billboards went up and around them.
Was a good movie, as for suspending belief, I think people take movies far too seriously, isnt that the point of movies/tv (barring doco's or true story ones) a bit of escapism and fiction.
I mean 3 of the top 4 highest grossing movies ever have aliens and super heroes, the other has a real event in it, but the rest is made up...if you add in #5-10 you have Dinosaurs, more super heroes a Wizard and a movie about an FBI guy that helps some boy racers

I agree. When I watch a movie I just let go with that sort of thing. I guess that is why I don't understand why people really pick apaprt movies like star wars etc. I have enjoyed every Star Wars movie at the time I watched it.
What are the 4 top grossing movings?
-
@hooroo
Avatar, Titanic, Star War - Force Awakens, Avengers Infinity War, Jurassic World, The Avengers, Furious 7, Avengers Age of Ultron, Black Panther, Harry Potter Deathly Hollows Pt 2 -
@taniwharugby For me, it depends on the movie - if it tries to be serious, or even semi serious it's a bit harder to suspend disbelief.
Die Hard is unrealistic as fuck, but it's still pretty grounded - whereas that Die Hardish twattle made with Gerard Butler about the white house tries to be a bit grounded, completely isn't and was almost unwatchable for me. But, people fighting with swords of light and I'm in with a grin.
