Dune
Fucking amazing, the best thing I have seen in a long long time
Visually stunning, incredible score.
Love how the story is allowed to unfold. Hate I now have to wait 2 fucking years.
5 fucking stars.

If it’s anything like the 80s movie and book then the second one SHOULD be considerably better than the first which will be a big ask given how awesome it is.
I’m going again next week.

Wrath of Man.
I had reasonable hopes for this one. Jason Statham can usually be relied upon to dish out some gratuitous violence. Guy Ritchie used to be able to direct a film with a laddish humour, plus I saw a couple of trailers which looked promising.
My advice would be to watch the trailers and leave it at that. The whole thing is a miss-mash, almost as if Ritchie has read three scripts that he likes and has decided to put them all into one film. The shootouts are OK but then they're in the trailers.
No tits either.
1 film out of five scripts.
Agree completely. I was waiting for the building orgy of violence and it finished like a limp dick.

@mn5 I watched about 45 mins of the original a month or so back, prior to watching the re-boot, has not aged well and was so slow I gave up, new one was very good.

there were some great violent scenes, but a completely muddled plot, lack of humour, a friken man cardy, zero tits really puts this effort as one of his lower efforts.

Some scenes are the same word for word which is pretty cool. The old one did have some pretty cool stuff ( but also some horrific SFX which have aged badly )
Virginia Madsen wasn’t in it enough and had too many clothes.

After seeing this trailer, this is now my most anticipated movie

@stockcar86 I rarely watch trailers cos of spoilers, but keen on anything with Michelle Yeoh!

If a good Trump movie was made (may not be possible to have enough critical distance to do so), Steve Bannon would be played by Philip Seymour Hoffman (I know he's dead). Who would play Trump?
Boris Johnson

So not Alec Baldwin then?
PSH would be perfect for Brannon, good call.

Fuck no. That's Saturday Night Live cringe garbage.
Ah, you're after serious answers!
Then I nominate Gérard Depardieu
