And on topic: Started watching American Gigolo. Didn't bother finishing it as the sound production was so bad. Comically so.
Moved on to Fatal Attraction. I can see how this unnerved men when it was released, but the idea a successful man would bump uglies with Glenn Close sober threw me, until I remembered Arnie and his maid...
The movie or the new TV series?
1980 movie. If it was ever good, it didn't age well.
The TV show is definitely worth a watch

The Telegraph Fourcast
Meet the four candidates to play James Bond
Barbara Broccoli has ruled out Idris Elba and Emily Blunt on account of age and gender. But a few rising stars could tick all her boxes
I can’t read the whole thing but I see John Boyega is not going to be playing Bond which is certainly a reason to rejoice.

6 Underground
Had never heard of this and found it on Netflix last night. I enjoyed it myself, although to say its' a bit far fetched is one hell of an understatement. Been looking at Auto Trader today for bright green Alfa Romeo's ...
I mean, it's Michael Bay crossed with Ryan Reynolds. You know what your going to get. A shit load of over the top action, complete bullshit scenes with some perfectly delivered dialogue.
4 Green Alfa Romeos out of 5 Can't stop thinking about that cars
we stumbled across it on netflix last year, fun mindless action film, even better when its "free"
Watched Uncharted on the plane last night (magnetic island in queensland, very nice), that was really fun too, gets rubbish reviews but i really enjoyed it, fun treasure hunting movie, hope they make more

Guess they couldn't get Eric Roberts for this one.

@MiketheSnow Should be Dan Stevens!

@Tim he was probably too busy, gotta be the busiest man in Hollywood, or he thought the plot was shite...I'll go with the former!

I always feel sorry for Eric Roberts when I imagined him at family get togethers comparing box office takings with his sister.

Just watched this movie called Avatar. The best 3D movie I've seen (the only other two being Tintin and Tron), it is visually spectacular. But, the story and script is pretty average white saviour malarky. Some of the lines were so clunky I assume Cameron got Lucas in to punch up the dialogue.
Yes, this was the first time I've ever seen Avatar.

I know it’s heresy to diss Avatar on the Fern but I’m no great fan. Great visuals as you say but a plot lifted from countless other tired old films.
All sizzle and no steak is my view.

I didn't know that, I think because I've avoided discussions as I didn't want any spoilers.
They showed some footage from the next one at the end which didn't make me excited about seeing it.
@voodoo Now's your chance to go see it at the cinema in 3D again. Event have half price Tuesdays.

What the hell? It's been ridiculed here countless times, and rightly so!
It's a laughably terrible movie, and the only way I'll watch a sequel is if it begins with earth glassing "Pandora" with relativistic speed asteroids.

Maaate. Have you forgotten all the fapping about the groundbreaking SFX and how amazing it was at the beginning? There may have been a degree of revisionism since but nowhere near enough for my liking. I will only be convinced otherwise if I now see a slew* of bad reviews here immediately.
*I am the sole arbiter of what constitutes a slew.

@Catogrande Sorry, I only remember myself shitting on it! Maybe because I waiting until the blu-rips were available to torrent.

@voodoo He is a moron, a traitor, and portrayed by the worst actor in living memory. God damn that movie was stupid. I spent half of it laughing.
A traitor to who? He saved a race of people , and he commanded the bestest flying dinosaur-thingee in the land.
Then he got the (slightly elongated) girl
Legend

I think you may have seen the remastered and according to James Cameron (at least visually) better version?
