Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Paris, Texas was on t'other night, for the first time since I relented and joined the ghastly riff-raff with big tellies and bought one mesen. Excellent - a classic. It was followed, unrelated, by a film called 'Una', which was bizarre and disconcerting at points. About a victim of grooming (Rooney Mara) confronting, in adulthood, her abuser (Ben Mendelsohn). I almost switched off several times. It became obvious early on it was a play adaptation. It also became obvious early on the; playwright, screenplay writer and director were blokes. I know works are supposed to provoke debate and push buttons but several scenes were appallingly handled. Mara's (adult) character for example has a shower at one point, showing everything, for no discernible reason and totally unrelated to plot. She's a cracking body which, given the nature of the film, seems a bloody waste, imagine being caught leering over her..? I reckon', without checking, Mrs Phoenix (she's married to him - Tobias that is) is one of those actresses who have 'necessary to plot' nudity in every film they're in. I've read she'll be getting her kit off in the upcoming 'Mary Poppins' remake - in which she plays the titular role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer1984 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I'm on my holidays so decided to do fuck all today. Flicking through the channels and found a film just starting on itv4. The Sting. Fairly old (1973) set in the 30's. Easy to watch and a pretty decent film I've never seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position of their base made no sense at all to me. It reminded me of Rorke’s Drift and Zulu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the total nuddy, straight out of the shower and shooting at the enemy! Dunno I that was just artistic license, but that should have scared of the towel heads on its own!

Blondi Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Watched The Outpost on Amazon prime, not a bad film, based on true events, it was a bit like the Taliban version of Zulu but not as good of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your recommendation I watched it. What a bag of shite! It was like watching someone play first-person shooting games on a PC but as a third-person. Cheap and low budget camerawork.

green genie Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Cruella is pretty entertaining pitching her as punk rebel against established design queen. Good 60s and 70s tunes throughout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
