The Film Thread

I meant more that even the seven samurai is most likely based on a generic sentiment - the tale of mysterious strangers coming in to save a desperate community is a universal theme that easily resonates across times and cultures.

Watched Creed 3 at the cinema tonight. Worst of the three movies.

Jonathan Majors saves it a bit for me.

Watched Godfather III yesterday and was left disappointed… kept me watching it (whilst channel hopping admitedly), hoping it’d improve, but in the end I was left with the impression I was swindled and that it was a cliché of a cliché.

Brilliant film this 1…gone up in my books after re-watching last night.

The original movie was great. :+1:

Anyone guess the legend…?

It’s not Michael Douglas is it?

Jennifer Aniston

Gene Hackman

…and we have a winner - Gene Hackman - 93yrs young
Hope his eyesight is intact behind the wheel of that 4x4…!

Mediocre script + Gene Hackman = memorable film.

One of my all-time favorite actors. That first photo looks nothing like him. Never would have guessed. The second pic does look like him, though.

Oh, that’s curious. I thought that was one of the weaker ones in that film series. I still think it’s a great concept for a horror film though: trying to second guess what peculiarly freak sequence of events will bump off the protagonists. A bit like a particularly grizzly episode of Casualty.

Watched Luther: The Fallen Sun earlier.

Miles off the quality of the original series. Absolutely nonsensical for the most part and a waste of a good cast. Another failure to add to Netflix’s growing list.

Andy Serkis’ hair as well…Jesus Christ.

Just caught up on the Oscars and it’s one of my favourites ever because every one of these people are delightful.
