He described it as massively overrated which I found it hard to argue with, sure I thought the sun shone out of its arsehole when I was a film wanker back in the day. I watched it for about the fortieth time when it was on a few weeks back. I reappraised my opinion - it's a bit shit. Overacted - John Cazale is probably the best of the bunch, the rest are so hammy. It is overrated - and too long and filled with too many obvious metaphors. Did it get Best Picture Oscar? Meryl Streep is very weak in it. Quote
ErnestTurnip Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 The only thing I came away from it with is that I thought Streep was more attractive than I used to. She has a resemblance to my s-I-l though so instinctively you feel sexually attracted to them. Quote

Yer durty Fecker. De Niro fucks his best mate's bird then goes 13000 miles to blow his (Walken's) brains out. Then they bury the smackhead, drink coffee and have a singalong to Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everybody' then retire to their trailer park homes. His uniform decorations were inaccurate also. I think he really went to Canada avoiding the draft (De Niro) and spent the war as a short order cook in a diner. Shitting his pants on account of a cowardly soul.

deane koontz Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 It feels like every film is about 2 1/2 hours long these days. Always find myself falling asleep and not finishing them 😭 Quote

Have you seen the recently re-mastered Apocolypse Now? Well worth a watch imo. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 The 'Redux' is awful. The Chateau scenes, nicking Kilgore's surfboard - dreadful. The Big Bang Theory is the perfect example of how only in America total tossers still get the girl. That speccy twat and Kaley Cocoa - yeah reet. Quote
Smiley Posted December 30, 2021 Author Posted December 30, 2021 Love the Deer Hunter. But that first hour or so drags. With the wedding, etc. As soon as they drop in ‘Nam it gets going. Would suggest skipping the first hour. Quote

Underpants Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Don't Look Up on Netflix. Thought it was a half decent satire but 40mins too long. Extinction Rebellion lot will love it. Quote
