Last Film You Watched

Watched All About Eve (1950). Been keen on watching it ever since I saw it name dropped in a review about the Substance. Just a fantastic piece of film, well-written dialogue and complex characters, left me wondering where those sorts of concepts have disappeared to in modern film

" 'can't we have gone with the wind' again?''

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest. It's fine. No Shawshank or Shutter Island (as a story of a guy stuck in a prison/instituion moveis, not genre).

Once Upon a Time in the West. What a smashing film.

Well well. It's like I asked the universe and it then answered.

9pm GREAT! movies (freeview 34) tonight. No idea how the licence is being passed around as it was on twice on itv4 two weeks ago. Wraps up just after midnight, easy done.

How many times do you think you`ve seen it ?

I`m estimating anywhere between 20 - 30 times, including three times on the cinema and I still love it as much as I did the same as when I my first saw it.

It's in the rotation, Jaws, Shawshank, Alien, Aliens, Casablanca, Platoon. We're in 3 figures a piece, can even leave them running and exit the room and keep up with them in my mind and come straight back in knowing the script and shot. What's fun with the Alien films is they've all got subtle edits, and then some great big extra scenes bolted on. I'm not sure... (Bladerunner also)... if certification were reasons for certain cuts, or if tv needed certain time limits to get enough ad space.
For instance, can you remember when you last watched Bladerunner with the dopey narration and the grafted on 'The Shining' ending footage? So there's studio interference that explains some botch jobs.

Jaws is 50 this year, I want the full schmeer this summer, Spielberg in the 'clockwork orange' chair, having details dragged out of him, documentaries, interviews with the actors, tales from production staff, then and knows from Martha's Vineyard. Props, auctioned items and their histories, original scripts, influences, fellow director talking heads, homages, the works!

On a side note, I'd like to know what Scott thinks of Alien: Isolation, and what he expects with the sequel.

Carry-On on Netflix. Truly one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Mrs wanted to watch it even though I said up front it’ll be crap for 2 reasons:
1) Taron Egerton
2) Jason Bateman

It gets worse from there and there’s plot holes all over the shop.

Avoid like another season of watching Dycheball.

Watched this last week, wish I’d seen this post before I put it on… what a truly awful film.

I’m shocked that Jason Bateman agreed to do this one, he rarely does any bad movies or tv shows.

Special Edition. Might be a different license

Watched Tàr there. Predictably great performance from Blanchett, really takes its time but well worth it.

Quite enjoyed it.

But work, the Mrs nagging and two young kids means I have the energy levels of a sloth on ketamine, so it was probably just the euphoria of making it through a whole film without falling asleep.

Might be dumb question but what movie is this?

Not a patch on the original (in MY opinion)...but still a FANTASTIC film.

If you had to choose… Alien or Aliens?

Just been to see Companion. Fun film with an interesting but not massively original premise. Good performances from the two leads. Not really a film you need to see at the cinema but definitely worth checking out when it starts streaming.
