šŸ“½ Films I have seen

This has been mentioned a few times on the forum, perhaps even by myself, but can I throw some more love out there for Bone Tomahawk?

It’s fucking brutal.

Remains clearly in my memory despite watching it over 3 years ago. Especially that scene :open_mouth:

It is just so brutal and so matter of fact. ā€œHey! This is the kind of thing we do every dayā€. The pregnant women were not pleasant to gaze on either.

Sonic the Hedgehog…

Actually quite enjoyed it, not sure why but I did…

I watched the Chris Morris film, The Day Shall Come. It’s based on unbelievable true stories and is quite upsetting if you’re a fanny like me. I had a few tears at the end. It’s quite funny as well. However, as a film there’s something missing from it. It’s an interesting story, it’s quite amusing in place but I’d still only give it 6/10. I can’t put my finger on why.

I watched Parasite a couple iof weeks ago. It’s well worth the hype. 9/10

I watched The Joker yesterday. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen in ages. It’s better than parasite. Joachim Phoenix is fucking brilliant in it. I loved it. 10/10

Completely agree.

Was thinking about the film for days or weeks afterwards. A stunning performance.

A pandemic has got in the way of me watching Parasite at the cinema.

I watched it illegally on my TV . I’ll make up for my sins by never going to a wetherspoons again (and as an alcoholic and someone who loves a breakfast there after a weekend away that’s quite a commitment)

I downloaded (using torrents) and watched The Princess Bride last night, still a great film.

Is that available on Netflix??

Watched Tombstone this morning for the first time. Quality film. I need to watch it again as the last Western I saw before this was Bone Tomahawk.

This was Tamestone by comparison.

I love that film. I’ve watched it many times. Possibly val Kilmers finest hour.
I’ve actually been to Tombstone during my U.S exploration in 1996.

Funnily enough it was actually a WTF Happened to Val Kilmer YouTube video that put me onto it.

It’s full of greats though, Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston.

What a fucking cast. Kevin Costner, who did a Wyatt Earp film the same year, didn’t have much of a chance.

It was a great cast. The ok coral scene was brilliant. I’m a sucker for good westerns. I thought this was a great film.

We were there in 1993…it was great, which is not something you can always say about America’s depiction of the ā€œWild Westā€ They have a habit of sanitising their history to turn it into a theme park. Tombstone still had the flavour of Victorian Main Street America, of course all the bars catered for the tourist but some were reassuringly tatty around the edges. One of them ā€œThe Crystal Palaceā€ had a huge centerpiece, a 3 piece mirror…the barman said it was the original glass which I found hard to believe. In a bar-room fight a chair through the mirror was always assured. :lou_lol:

I remember there being a lot of people dressed as cowboys. Fulfilling some fantasy I guess. As a fan of westerns it was a cool place to visit and yes i visited a few bars. Everytime i went in one the pianist stopped playing. Guess i wasn’t from around them parts :cowboy_hat_face:

There’s your first mistake, right there. Flat roof pub.

Second mistake; Plaistow, have you never heard Ian Dury??
