To me, comparing the old with the new, this is easy… I never watch anything that has Sting appearing

You didn’t like Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels?!
Oh, you’ll love this one. A friend and I are planning to see it again, apparently there’s a film theatre in Belgrade that offers IMAX screenings. I’ve never watched anything in IMAX and Dune 2 is as good as it gets to cross that wish off the list.

I actually watched LS&TSB without prior knowledge he was in the film. Too late to stop viewing upon realisation then.
He is a guy I avoid watching, or reading about at every given chance

I’ve never seen the old film or read any of the source material, it looks spectacular but I can’t help but feel it’s another one of those movies that would likely have been better as a tv show just to let things breathe a little.
I learnt that one the hard way. I was a big Police fan and went to see the original Dune mainly because Sting was in it. I think that was the film that convinced me that he really can’t act!

Luckily he isn’t in it for long is he? nor in Lockstock!

He’s on screen for about a minute. He was still quite pretty back then but that’s all you could say about his performance. Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed the rest of the film. I can’t even remember him in Lock Stock… was it a cameo?
I’m trying to think of other things I saw because Sting was in. “Brimstone and Treacle” was good but I later saw the original Play For Today which was far better. “Artemis 81” was a late night play on the BBC which was, frankly, indecipherable (I should maybe see it when I’m not falling asleep). “Quadrophenia” was brilliant but I remember that more for Phil Daniels and Leslie Ash.

Sort of. He is the main character’s father who owns the pub that the gangster wants. He appears briefly several times in the film.

Watched it today. Very good cinematic experience. Masterpiece - not sure when I was able to say this the last time.
Zendaya stood out for me 
Can’t wait for part three.

Can anyone explain to me why films now have “threat” included in the warnings? I’ve googled it and haven’t been able to find a satisfactory explanation.
Sex, language (although it should be prefaced by “foul” or “bad”) and violence all make sense if a film is a 12 or 15 certificate.
But “threat”? Fucking snowflakes.

You’re more threatening tbf.

It’s quite funny, actually, because I’m the least threatening person you could ever meet in real life.
Doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t hurt you, though.
It’s always the one you least suspect.

I’ve just watched Fight Club again, seeing that it’s 25 years old this year.
Utter shite.

Watching it at 60 is always going to be different than 85.
