@Salacious-Crumb outstanding film. Surprisingly good cast, great script... by grabthar's hammer Alan Rickman is amazing
-
@antipodean I know what you mean. I am actually likely to switch to another movie if a child is introduced for tension purposes in a horror or thriller.

DreamWorks "Screwed Up": Why Cult Classic 'Galaxy Quest' Wasn't a Bigger Hit
Twenty years after the meta sci-fi movie hit theaters, director Dean Parisot and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Justin Long look back at censored scenes, and reveal the apology Jeffrey Katzenberg issued over the film's lackluster marketing: "They didn’t seem particularly interested in what we were doing."

Saw it on the big screen when it was released twice. Was dragged to it the first time; I liked it so much I dragged some friends to see it again. It really is a delightful little film.
Love it.
Watch it every year. Piss myself.

Yeah a classic. That article though, "stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Justin Long " Justin Long. Not Alan Rickman. FFS.

Just watched it and it's easily the best Star Trek movie I've seen.

@Machpants I don't think they could include Rickman in the interview because he is dead, sadly.....
I realise that
I meant the tag line "starring XYZ" and Rickman is not on that list but Justin Long (best know for being the nerd in Dodgeball) is.....he's not of the same level as Rcikman or Weaver.

He has one of the best lines in the movie:
I just wanted to tell you that I thought a lot about what you said.
It's okay, now listen...
But I want you to know that I'm not a complete brain case, okay? I understand completely that it's just a TV show. I know there's no beryllium sphere...
Hold it.
...no digital conveyor, no ship...
Stop for a second, stop. It's all real.
Oh my God, I knew it. I knew it! I knew it!

Danger Close - about the battle of Long Tan.
To be honest, I started watching this, it was getting late and the dialogue and acting at the start was a bit average, so almost bailed...but stayed and things did get better.
Last hour was pretty intense, can only imagine how those poor buggars felt out there, not sure if the selfish actions of one of the top brass was true, but astounding if it is.
Was odd seeing Ragnar Lothbrook as an Aussie Major...
4 I'm out of ammo out of 5 f#ck that was close, again
Right, I'm 54 minutes into this fucking travesty and the artistic licence they've taken with this to make it "entertaining" is infuriating.

Saw Jojo Rabbit last night. Some real good laughs but its a pretty awkward era to make jokes out of, at times it felt a bit scattered between super sadness and then some hilarity, reminded me of 'Boy' in some ways. Waititi as Hitler was hilarious and Sam Rockwell was brilliant.
4 Stielhandgranate's out of 5 German BowiesJust watched it. The kid is excellent. Sam Rockwell has turned into one of my favourite actors. His characters might be alike, but they're always good.

I watched the recent Ghostbusters movie tonight. Admittedly I had sub zero expectations based on comments here and elsewhere. But it didn't totally suck. I found it mildly amusing, it was full of nice nods to the original. Maybe I'm in a generous holiday mood but I'll give it 3 Mr Staypuffs out of 5 converted hearses

Gemini Man - Wil Smith x 2.
Decent action flick about Smith as an Assassin trying to retire, but his former employer wont let him and sends a special assassin to kill him...
3.5 Wil Smiths out of 5 Super soldiers
Peanut Butter Falcon - Shea Le BOuf and Dakota Johnson, although they arent really the stars of this movie...rather Zach Gottsagen who has Down Syndrome.
I know Le Bouf isnt a fave of many, but thought he was good in this, as he helps Zach try to realise his dream of becoming a Wrestler once he escapes form the old peoples home where he is in care.
kinda modern day Huck Finn type film, with the good feels.
3.5 body presses out of 5 escape attempts
