šŸ“½ Films I have seen

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.

Strange but compelling movie, social commentary on phone use and AI.

Myself and Mrs BTripz II both quite enjoyed it..

TVP terrestial tonight 20 years of culture anniversary great movies…

The Spy Who Loved Me in English

Damn no CGI, that was a good film (Barbara Bach, Caroline Munro)

Iirc lot of it was filmed off Southsea while I was at Poly down there. Imagine the Royal Navy lending Pinewood a ship these days. (We ain’t got any)
Damn HMS Intrepid, Wessex Helicopters
Lotus, Jaws, the River Nile scenes planting a first bucket list I achieved about 20 years later…

Ah… bless

An hour across town 2 buses.

An empty Cinema

Last 3 days on release

Everyone has told me to come and see this on the big screen

Hate cinemas, so much disturbance all the time…

It really is a wonderful film.

Damn. It needed seeing on a big screen

Project Hail Mary

Fist my Bump

I saw the trailer for this - it looked wrongly magnificent even in Polish

Update - well obviously The Last of Us creator Craig Mazin and star Bella Ramsey’s project with like everybody

Also saw Mandolorian Trailer - looked like they forgot to put 50p in the electric meter - but good

Hmmm
This might be a thing

Daughter told me she’d watched a truly beautiful film with Grandson

This has been such a shit week I needed something.

Netflix. Remarkably Bright Creatures.

It’s kind of wonderful yet simple

It’s about a little old Cleaning Lady and an Octopus. The other half will also love it.

I have a bad attack of Happiness right now causing something in my eye.

I watched The Fall Guy on Netflix last night.

A good couples movie, I’d say. Rom-com for the ladies, action for the lads.

Yes, some will opine that it’s just Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt charming the fuck out of everyone as usual, but it’s also a big love letter to stunt-persons.

Got meh’d when it came out but I thought it was entertaining

Gosling plays a wimpy version of Fall Guy (ie himself) in Hail Mary.

I have a ridiculous tenuous link to a movie moment.

One Tuesday a Canadian guy took his old College Buddy out to our Karaoke night.
Only got tagged at the end of the evening, was very pleasant to the singers, sang well but please no photos etc. Fine

So Ryan loved Karaoke.

Fast forward there’s a pre launch party on the Hail Mary base. So someone suggested Karaoke.

Then suggested it would be really powerful if Sandra Huller sang.
She thought about the right song for some time snd came up with a goose bump cinema moment.

Amazon did a good job rebooting Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan
I guess the cast got busier so the latest series became an Amazon Prime Movie Jack Ryan’s Ghost War.

It’s not The Hunt for Red October but it is not shit.
It’s about 2 hours of Popcorn shoot em up with a TikTock Whodunnit.

Sure the story could have been tighter but there’s some good old car chase mayhem in London and some ah, no that isn’t the airport shots of Dubai.

I enjoyed it. Good Airplane fodder, Sienna Miller helps

Looking back, Michael Jackson dropping Off the Wall, then Thriller was a huge moment.

Not sure anyone’s album stop these days would have the same impact. Sure people hated it. Others wish they still had the pristine albums untouched from the store…

So the Biopic Michael. Like the Whitney film it touches the darkness well (up to halfway through btw Mrs P_F got sent to bed, football is on.)

I can imagine in years to come people going to sing/dance along screenings.

I’ve seen some stuff drop lately so I will watch the post Thriller bits and report.

Imagine. I had a disposable income of about £200 back in '93/94 and in the same week scored tickets to see Bryan Adams & a week or so later Michael Jackson in Dubai

Then the West Ham allegations broke.

About him always blowing Bubbles and he cancelled…

Nearly saw him

I take it you’re not allowed to watch if you’re under 16.

Well…

There could be the story

Want to finish that part of the film 1st then read some of the very new stuff dropping and make sure it’s not Bots or AI drivel

Michael ends in 1998 at Wembley Stadium, so hold tge other stuff fir a sequel maybe.

This film is a fuck of a lot better than I thought it would be.

Michael is played by Jaafar Jackson. Facially there is a very slight resemblance.

For everything else the guy IS Michael.

Superb - and Jaafar in?

Michael’s Nephew.

Watch this with the other half.

Grins on faces

Dancing on the Sofa
