Last Film You Watched

Watched a film called The 33 earlier, about those miners that got trapped underground 10 years ago. Good film, possibly a bit too much like a diaster movie, which i guess it was, but they added a few disaster movie cliches which was a shame. Its kind of acurate but a few simple things are missed out, which is a shame, still worth a watch as its a great story

Spoiler

Its a shame they didnt show a rescue worker going down in a pod to see them before anyone came up, as that guy really risked his life not knowing for certain it would get back up, also a rescue worker was the last to leave not a miner as the film showed

I think it will win a lot of Oscars, unfortunately. it seems to be building and building.

You’d prefer an Adam Sandler movie to win?

I'd prefer Uncut Gens to win, yes. It's a Safdie brothers film.

Ive never heard of them before and didn’t think it was a great film by any stretch. Completely unlikeable characters with Carboard cut out villains tied together with manic anxiety in a pointless effort to what, gamble more? Some nice 80’s vibes but gave me abit of a headache tbh.

Just watched Dunkirk on Netflix.

Better second time around, as I was a bit disappointed when I saw it upon initial cinema release.

I couldn't make it through Dunkirk.

I know it's not supposed to be a documentary but the huge and glaring errors of continuity, history and physics just ruined it.

It was based on their dad, apparently. All their films are anxiety ridden and stressful. There is Good Time, Heaven Knows What and Daddy Longlegs if you fancy more of them.

Personally, I think these two could become two in of the biggest directors around in the next 10 years or so.

Been having a John Wick marathon today and honestly still, after all these years, can’t get over just how terrible at acting Keanu Reeves is. Like how did he even get these blockbuster roles? A pretty good performance in Bill & Ted back in the day?

Love the John Wick franchise, the antipathy of glossy brain dead action films.

It definitely did have a unique tone, maybe one thing you can ask of a film maker is to carry their own voice while embracing collaboration. I think with a Pacino in the role it would have been special, I can see through Sandler too easily.

Watched a load of Studio Ghibli movies over the weekend for the first time, the only one I’d seen previously was My Neighbour Totoro. Felt the strongest of the 7 I watched (combo of Netflix and a borrow of my mate’s gf) the strongest were Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service with the weakest being Ocean Waves

I listened to an interview with them and they seem to love Sandler.

This was the second script they had ever written, they approached Sandler years ago and he said no. They left it for a few years, then Sandler saw Good Time at Cannes then found the Brothers at the festival and said he wants to work with them.

Interestingly, they went for Kobe Bryant and were very close to getting him but the schedules didn't fit.

Probably off to see 1917 today as there’s not much else on that appeals to me.

Hopefully will catch the lighthouse at some point this week

I couldn’t even begin to start ranking them tbh.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's because he is apparently a lovely person. He doesn't often play challenging roles so having a nice guy on set that can do the job makes sense

Sounds like the sort of player we sign

I love spirited away. Need to get into the rest too. Thought bowels moving castle wasnt as good but reminded me of a murakami novel
