Where's this eighteen hour extravaganza of superheroes available?
Binge/Fox in Oz. I think you can buy it from Apple TV.
i just signed up for Binge, will check what else is available and cancel if nothing else we want to watch
There's lots of actual good stuff on there once you've watched the fanboi-athon.
They have all the HBO stuff so they have some classics like Sopranos, The Wire etc. I can't really comment on their films as most of theirs is recentish movies and I tend to go to the cinema to watch them.
Do they still have the free trial?

Coach Carter. Based on a true story, Samuel L Jackson plays the tough basketball coach with a heart of gold trying to make a difference to his team of unruly ghetto rats. Sort of Last Chance U meets Dangerous Minds. All the usual cliches but a rewarding film, 5 college scholarships out of 5 signed contracts
Jeez, you're late to this party!!! Good flick though, I've watched a few times, good fun in that Remenber the Titans vein.
I think I've seen it before. But it still watches well

@nepia yeah, 2 weeks, the thing is i just got rid of Foxtel and a lot of stuff on there is stuff i watch on there

The biggest praise so far...it makes sense. It reminds me to Kingdom of Heaven, famously bad movie on release...but the +3hr directors cut made list of one of the best directors cuts, I honestly believe just because all the little things they removed to make it cinema length...are all the small things that make the big things make sense
:::
They actually mention the flash dream sequence! Am I right they didn’t in the original

i love the KoH directors cut, it's awesome

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowhip of the Ring
20 years old!!
And based on that, thought it was time i shared it with the kids. It's still awesome, and it still looks amazing. What a fucking movie.
Told the kids they have to wait 2 years to watch the 2nd one like we had to. They we're not happy with the suggestion.
The Hobbiton tour definitely adds a bit to the first part of the movie. Like how he wasn't happy with the leaves of the tree above Bag End so he had them all removed and had artificial ones made. The tree is in shot for fucking 10 seconds!!

Judas and the Black Messiah: A film about the Chicago branch of the Black Panthers in the late 60s. It's about an FBI informant and their charismatic leader.
Lakeeth Stanfield was nominated for a Supporting Actor Oscar as the informant although he's actually the lead. Daniel Kaluya is the leader.
Really engaging story about an interesting time in US history.
Martin Sheen plays J Edgar Hoover, I guess President Bartlett wants to play some bad guys for a change.

Speaking of true sports stories, I was reading a review article about this movie over the weekend. I'm keen to watch it.

What are your super powers again?
I'm rich.
Great script.

Has anyone seen The Night Comes for Us on Netflix? Just watched it last night and loved it.
I've just watched this. Great fun. The Operator was the bomb.
Some of the fight scenes and gore have a similar feel to those on Warrior, which Joe Taslim also stars in.
I'll have to search out The Raid movies.

@kiwiwomble good point, they could have drawn in the audience twice. You should be a Hollywood exec.
