Well we're past Blade Runner so I'm gonna make sure to be extremely wary of anyone with eyes that glow in certain light and are super strong.
Speaking of which I made myself sit through Blade Runner 2049 again. Definitely made a bit more sense and I enjoyed it more. Beautifully shot but still full of flaws......

@MN5 ok, sorry, hopefully the correction fixes things
I will clarify, the only people I have heard that even saw it were Blade Runner fans to start with and they all seemed to like how well is has an almost identical vibe as the original, other than the CGI they could have been filmed back to back
but then I know a lot of people who never bothered to see it and maybe they would have seen more faults

Haha yes well done
I think Blade Runner 2049 probably needs multiple viewings to appreciate it. The first sure did.

I'm giving it a rewatch right now... and I'm sure I've watched it twice before, but I swear... I don't remember a single fucking thing about this 'plot'.
I am starting to suspect that on both prior viewings, I got as far as the first Ana de Armas sighting, and then slunk off to bed for a masty, and post-masty nap. -

I don't remember much about the original but I really enjoyed BR2049 at first watch

I actually think 2049 is a better film than the original. I think I've said before on here I think the original is overrated and that I find the tears in the rain scene to be comical.

Richard Jewell was the best new release I've seen for a while. Clint's still got it.
I think got it back is probably more apt, he's a bit hit and miss lately. The Mule and that Paris one were pretty average to shit. But he got to put his boot into evil big govt Feds in Richard Jewell which might explain the increase in quality.

Unmitigated bollocks that even the lesbo scene between those two couldn't redeem. My Lynch fanboi mates think it's the movie version of the Mona Lisa though.

You are correct about Eastwood, but you are clearly a complete philistine based on your opinion of Lynch!

I like a lot of Lynch movies (and original Twin Peaks), but he disappeared too far up his ass on that one.

I’m probably Clints biggest fan in terms of his acting but even I admit some of the stuff he directs is a bit hit or miss.....still, he wasn’t to know Kevin Spacey was a sex pest I guess.

Pulp Fiction
I'm almost alone these days when I say I'm not a Tarantino fan. Struggled to stay awake in so many of his "masterpieces". But, like everything, there is an exception. Pulp Fiction is one of those movies that gets better every single time you watch it. The lines, the delivery, Samuel L at his astonishing best. Best parts are the story with Travolta / Thurman.
5 Pretty Fucking Fars out of 5 From Being Ok's.

I need to do another Tarantino marathon to assess where it stands....I’ve also only seen OUATIH once, that needs to be rectified

Pulp Fiction is #1. You just need to decide on the minor placings

Not necessarily. Inglorious basterds, Django and Jackie Brown are outstanding.
