I don't know why I let myself believe anything they make these days is going to come close to the originals. Spoiler alert... Some great stuff in it but fucking hell, some huge let downs as well. One of the worst being this habit modern day sequels/prequels have of reusing old iconic lines for absolutely no reason. "Get away from her you bitch" was used in this. I had to look away from the screen in disgust 😂 Another really disturbing thing, deep faking dead actors into films. And this one was one of the main characters, not even a cameo. Weird, proper weird. I won't bother watching the new alien film, the trailer looks too pretty much sum it all up, and doesn't leave me wondering what it might be about it e how it will pan out Quote

It's fucking stupid. Quote

Fuck me, that was even worse than Aquaman which was until recently one of the worst films is every seen...... Until Mrs Sweep made me watch Deadpool & Wolverine. What a pile of shit that really is. I can't understand why a grown man would go and watch a film about a comic book and then act disappointed when it's inevitably shit 😁 Quote

It all went downhill after the first Batman film with Keaton. These days CGI just make a lot of films a fancy animation film. I've said it before. But I've not really enjoyed a film for 10 years. Probably longer. I would say the majority of films I watch fill a couple of hours. Edited August 20, 2024 by Underpants Quote

There are some Aussie lads I know in Wollongong who drive around in an old (and desirable) one of these:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Sandman ...on which they have had very convincing looking signs mounted saying "Breast Testing Unit". I will double check but I am sure they told me once that there is no such thing as a perfectly matched pair, size wise. Quote
