Movie review thread...
-
Robocop remake: Fair bit of meh here. Excellent effects but that's about it. The original film made a mark because it was disturbingly violent and the Detroit depicted was suicide inducing. The scenes with Samuel L Jackson were a bit overdone.<br><br>
Guardians of the Galaxy: I noticed this film has been lauded like a mofo here and I had very high expectations. These were matched and then some. What a farking great film. Shit, even the sound track was awesome. Top stuff. Only thing I don't get is why they wasted millions getting Vin Diesel to play the tree. -
<p>Wife saw 50SoS last night at a fundraise for a local primary school (an odd choice, but its Mums so whatever).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Didn't really ask her feedback beyond "was it as shit as everyone said?" to which she replied "depends what you expected I guess". Her take on the books is completely subtext - according to her, the parts masquerading as kinky sex are fairly boring. Its more about the emotional manipulation aspect where Grey looks like the dominant one but in fact the chick ends up with all the power after letting him do what he wants for long enough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In that way, I find it a parallel to the analysis of marriage: a chick willing to do whatever she has to in order to get a guy before turning the tables.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But this has the more appealing aspect to more women in terms of there being a shitload of money and luxury lifestyle potential. Not to mention the mummy aspect of repairing an emotionally broken man-child.</p> -
<p>How chuffed am I that movie got horrid reviews as I asked if True-Love wanted to go see it as she read the books and she said 'no' due to everybody saying it was rubbish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>STOKED!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can I also add that for Valentines day her gift to me was to go play golf and we "just chill" instead of going into the city for dinner!</p>

<p>What a gal!!!</p> -
<p>26% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some of the reviews are seriously amusing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unfortunately it is raking in the bucks at the box office, so more movies will be made and more unrelated businesses will be pushing their 50 shades of... advertising. And more infinitely superior sexy/BDSM books will have '50 shades hotter/darker/sexier' on their covers no matter what the author wants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And more people will ask me 'are your books like 50 shades' to which I will have to start tasering them.</p> -
<p>didn't it start life as Twilight fan fiction?</p>

<p>Its more probable someone else is taking care of that side, hence the chilled out attitude to it. Its like if your missus is OK you don't make her come, its not cause she's cool, its cause someone else is. If movies have taught me anything this weekend its that you should immediately tie her up, tweak her nipples & take a masive shit on her. Chicks love that.</p> -

Gone Girl: How the fark has this film received such rave reviews? It starts off ok but is far too long and the plot holes are so big you could drive a truck through them. And not just your average truck or semitrailer but one of those big farkoff mining ones. And not just one of them but farking hundreds.

<p>I dunno, people have written gay billionaire dino porn. And not shifters, actual dinosaurs fucking men. But they're billionaires of course, which seems to forgive a lot. There is a chick on Amazon who has written stacks of monster porn - bigfoot, gargoyles etc. And readers buy it.</p> -
