I rewatched The Martian yesterday.

It really is one of the best movies ever made.

5/5.

[Kiwiwomble]

@MajorRage never regret watching it

also thin it is one of if not the only example i can think of where the movie is better than the book, enjoyed the book but it over explained the "science"

Anjelica Huston joins Ana de Armas’ John Wick spin-off

A John-Wick spin-off. With Ana de Armas.
Fucking. Sweet.

I'm worried this might be true.

I'm not going to watch that, it will make me too sad. But yeah he is well down the dementia path, sadly, thus his movies for the last few years

@Machpants if you don't mind Bruce making a farce of Xmas, watch it. The illness quip was tongue in cheek.

Just watched Nobody

Starring the guy who plays Saul in Breaking Bad, it was a great Saturday night highly violent easy watch. Sorry of a grittier John Wick, ex-spook assassin trying to live a "normal" life accidentally pisses off Russian mafia sociopath and action ensues. A strong 8 booby traps out of 10 stolen Van Gogh paintings

[Catogrande]

Anyone seen The Northman? Alexander Skaarsgad and Nicole Kidman?

Don’t bother, it’s utter shite.

Good enough for me. It wasn’t on the list but I’ll cross it off if it ever appears.

[Catogrande]

@MN5

Vikings. Revenge. Bloodlust. Violence. Good cast. Can’t think why it was on my list.

To be fair it did tick all those boxes but was still awful.

so...been a long couple of weeks, wife was at a work thing on friday might, something a while back and made me think about watching Lord of the Rings again so i ordered a pizza, gabbed a couple of beers (Panhead XPA and Balter hazy)...and cracked out the extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring.....for the second half i went with a bottle of Cardona barrel strength....after three and a bit hours i was more drunk than the wife when she got home...fuck it was good, the only thing that didn;t hold up was the quality of the rip i had done on the old dvd's so have re ripped the other two at higher resolutions...great night in...would recommend

I see this all the time about Nobody (assume Sorry is actually Sort) and it makes me chuckle.

The final scene is adult Home Alone and his Dad looks like he's in a panto.

Yeah when I say gritty I just mean he doesn't look as movie star as Keanu. But yes the final part is just ridiculous good fun

Yeah - I enjoyed it, except the final part. @Nepia 's "adult Home Alone" is an excellent description... it was just jarring.
UNLESS - I forcibly put myself in a generous mood, and view it as an homage/piss-take of 80s/90s TV/movies (Home Alone meets the A-Team)... it suddenly 'works'.

why didn't he just throw the bloody explosives at the bad dude rather than strap them to that impossibly tough glass and run at him?
