    <p>The NRLegraph? Get fucked! You're just pissy because they don't put enough Broncos full page photos in there for you to shoot over. Mrs Mariner must get sick of trying to chisel the pages apart.</p>

    <p>Saw Everest last night, really well done and very sad to watch. Some of the shots of the mountain and things like the Hillary step etc were incredible.</p>

    <p>I watched Avengers. Age of Ultron a couple of days ago. Thought it was OK but something of film looking for a storyline. Just a bit disjointed really.</p>

    <p>I thought it was well done too. What is funny is that my memory had gotten the story a wee bit mixed up in the intervening years. The climbing scenes were pretty spectacular and confirms to me that I will never ever do that.</p>

    <p>Emily Watson's NZ accent was god awful but I thought that Kiera Knightley's was pretty good. Jason Clarke was pretty good in the lead (of a pretty decent ensemble cast), I've been watching him since he was on Brotherhood and he's carving out a decent career for himself.</p>

    <p>Pleased to see the focus wasn't on Krakuer and was more on Withers, Krakuer even admitted when he first met him he thought he was a rich republican asshole but he turned out to be a good man . Also that Russian was a hard bastard and he came out of the movie better than he did in the book.</p>
    <p>I havent seen Jason Clarke do dud movie yet but I havent seen the new terminator movie to be fair.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>And the climbing scenes. Why, just why? What is the attraction? Incredibly well done though, the scenes with the storms etc.</p>

    <p>I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest last night for the first time in probably 25 years. Holds up great. Still awesome.</p>

    San Andreas, big disaster film with the Rock.<br>
    Cliche after cliche (estranged ex wife and daughter he sets out to rescue)<br>
    But if you like seeing big buildings crumbling into each other and shit then you would like it. <br>
    Clearly 98% of the budget was spent on cgi and the rock but I didn't mind it.<br><br>
    Using the Mariner scale 2 titties out of 10, the daughter has a nice set and you see her for like 30 seconds in a bikini and a low cut tank top a few times

    <p>Saw Pixels on the weekend - must be great being Adam Sandler. What should we make a movie about? I know, lets make a movie about all the old video games we played as kids! Great idea!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Was a decent watch, liked Peter Dinklage's character!</p>

    <p>Lots of studio interference, has made Wheddon call time on his future directing in the Marvel universe.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They insisted on that weird Thor in a cave scene that mad absolutely no sense.</p>

    <p>I see Marvel are looking at remaking Blade. I loved that movie as a kid, Wesley Snipes was bad ass.</p>

    <p>Movie night on Saturday - Clan NTA sat down to The Book Of Life by Guillermo Del Toro and all his mates. Genuine good family movie, with humour and a few jokes for the grown ups (musically speaking) as well as a load of slapstick.</p>

    <p>Krakauaer is not happy about Everest <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/72532387/journalist-jon-krakauer-furious-at-his-depiction-in-everest'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/72532387/journalist-jon-krakauer-furious-at-his-depiction-in-everest</a></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Although it is pretty much what he wrote apart from giving the russian guy more credit for what he did which Krakauaer himself said he was due anyway.</p>

    Silly headline. What Krakauer is saying is simply not to think you know the story just by watching the movie and is promoting his book at the same time. The movie had to leave a lot out so that it didn't confuse viewers and focus on the main characters. They leave out completely the amazing attempt at rescue by Ang Dorje and other Sherpas which is a pity. <br>
    Interesting aside, Ang Dorje now lives in the US as a wind turbine engineer but returns each year to the Himalaya as a guide during climbing season.
