Popular Post Stevo985 Posted May 9, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) The selection of films on my flight home wasn’t great, so I begrudgingly put on Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse despite the fact that I hate Spider-Man films and the fact they continue to release them again and again. And you know what? it was absolutely **** brilliant. Probably the best animated film I’ve ever seen. Certainly the best I’ve seen in a long time. **** it it’s the best film of any kind I’ve seen in a long time. It’s easily the best Spider-Man film. I mean it’s almost insulting to compare it to the other shite versions of Spider-Man. Can’t wait to watch it again but on a proper TV instead of a tiny plane monitor Edited May 9, 2019 by Stevo985 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah, I like the trailer, and I did really like the first movie too. Mrs Kersh is probably one of my favourite 'adult' chapters in the book, so I was thrilled with the way they've done it. Curious about how they will avoid the obvious similarities to Eraserhead in the Chinese reunion scene, and of course the finale should be altered. Very much looking forward to it.

That looks brilliant. wasnt expecting much from the first movie as heard too many negative things but I loved it (even my wife thought it was great and she’s no ‘horror’ fan!) excited by the sequel and think they’ve got the adult versions spot on with their younger counterparts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Also how purposeful is it that adult Richie looks like a younger Stephen King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly mentioned it my initial post about the film - it’s just a weirdly shite thing to call it and as you say, it’s way too long. I can’t believe somebody with a bit of sense didn’t intervene on it before release. I think that at this stage the unofficial title is "The Zac Efrom Ted Bundy Movie", because that is what everyone I know calls it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Another horror film about foreigners going to Sweden By they guy who made Hereditary so might be good. Bit funny to watch as a Swede thou, Midsummer is mostly about trying to avoid the rain and cold, and getting shitfaced. Pagan ritual stuff is mostly held to a bare minimum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted May 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2019 That looks terrific. Big fan of Hereditary so I'm hoping for another belter from Aster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted May 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2019 Pattinson cast as the new Batman Quote Robert Pattinson has been cast as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves' The Batman. Though Reeves is still working on the script for the film, Pattinson has already been brought aboard to play the titular Dark Knight. Great choice imo. He's an incredibly talented actor (when he's not 'sparkling') and I think he'll do the whole 'dark and brooding' thing very well indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be I'm a sucker for sentimental movies, as I also enjoyed The Leisure Seeker last year, and both that and this one it seems have been panned by the critics. This one, is a fictionalised take on a true story, about a guy who recovered from a vicious assault, here he uses dolls as a way of working through his trauma. I found his performance compelling and really moving. The metaphors are very much on the nose I suppose, but what can I say, it worked for me. Finally got around to watching this last night. I spent the first 20 minutes thinking I'd seen the movie before, which couldn't have been the case. Then I remembered the documentary I'd seen years ago. It is obviously the source material for the Carell film but it is vastly superior. I'm going to watch it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Couldn't get into Marwen at all, really wanted to like it as Carell can do no wrong in my eyes but it was just not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial reaction was No, but thinking about it he could be a good young Batman and I could definitely see him as a good Bruce Wayne. Affleck had the same gut reaction, but turned out to be one of the best parts of DC's misfire, and was let down by scripts and director(s) more than failing in his own right. I dunno why but I see Pattinson doing quite well in a Capullo era style Batsuit, and with the associated Snyder (not that one) world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted May 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2019 From a quick look on some of the FB movie pages I follow, I think the main problem he'll have is certain people not being able to see past his Twilight movies which is incredibly unfair as he's done some really solid work since around 2012 (Cosmopolis, The Rover, Maps to the Stars and Life to name but a few), and has grown into a very watchable and versatile actor. If he's given a decent script, I think he'll absolutely smash it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Pretty cool that they made a movie from that old Harry Martinson poems Aniara from 1956. Not many Swedish sci-fi stories from back then Looks not to shabby actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
