Just watched Babylon. Good film on the whole. The set pieces are excellent, and the music is good. A touch long winded and sometimes gives way to extravagence over story tellying. Well worth a watch though. One monologue by Jean Smart stands out as an emotional centre piece to the film and one of the tritagonists arcs. I recommend it
What platform?
Cinema.
I imagine itll be elsewhere soon though
Watched it at home yesterday
Fancy letting @koptician know which platform it was on?
Not surprised its available to stream this early apparently the box office wasn’t great for it. Shame really because it was a good enough film and I think the spectacle suits the big screen
It’s on my hard drive courtesy of
Well I can do that of course just trying to be a bit more legit nowadays
We may all have to.
Looks like all the good lawyers will be tied up with the city case.
Not a big fan of Tom Cruise but i do admire his commitment to his films. I read the other day how he continued running to finish a take after he had broken his ankle mid scene during a stunt.
Found the scene he broke his ankle.
Why do we call this The Film Thread instead of The Movie Thread?
Because this shit’s dead serious here
Wakanada Forever - the absolute pinnacle of what a pointless exercise Marvel films have become.
I loved the first one, but in this one you get to the exact same place in the marvel narrative with 2 lines of dialogue in a different film saying there is a new black panther and they are now friends with sea people. 2 and half hours of extended fight scenes just to get to that point?
I don’t know why I bother with Marvel anymore - maybe it’s because their films offer genuine rest to my mind these days (not that I’m one of the bright tools in the box). Nowadays, I’m a bit insulted that they are trying too hard to be inclusive that it often seems like a token appearance or something downright ridiculous. DC does it so much better, in my opinion.
On the topic of Black Panther, I don’t understand why these two films are so highly rated as I found them both poorly executed in terms of scrips and dialogues and a waste of talent of amazing actors such as late Chadwick Boseman, or Lupita Nyongo, Forest Whitaker and Michael B. Jordan.
British English over American English, I would have thought.
So Americans think there speak English
What is a pointless exercise is watching a comic book movie, 30 films into the franchise and expecting anything other than two and half hours of extended fight scenes.
One of my favourite sports films. The introduction of the Hanson brothers alone is worth watching the film for.
