"RBshorty 2:19 Tue Mar 26 Enjoyed that aswell,as you say not for everyone."

[RBshorty]

Just watched the new version of The Wages Of Fear. On Netflix. Christ. It’s fucking awful.!

[BRANDED]

Watched the new Roadhouse the other day on Prime. I found the first half quite interesting and the second half utter nonsense. Shame.

[RBshorty]

Living. A English remake of Kurosawa's Ikiru. Certainly not for everybody. But a very good film. Bill Bighy knocks it's out of the park.!

[Swiss Toni]

That Rudolph Hoess house by concentrating camp film is shit .

[Swiss Toni]

Watched a thriller called Operation Napoleon the other night. Quite good. Set in Iceland. Vivian Olafsdottir is very pleasing on the eye.

Movie studios ain't in it to make 5-10 low budget drama's hoping one gets it right and connects with an audience and becomes masterpiece. That's what your streaming services are for. Movies are now about razzle. Dazzle. Throw enough shit up on the screen. And pray to whatever god/devil you worship. That it brings in enough eyes so you can rise and repeat. ! But as always. THE MONEY GETS TIGHT. THE SHIT GETS REAL.! And with any big business. It takes a few years to flitter through.

"My mistake. Yes, I meant Adam Sandler. As for script/director, there are many, many great films in the past that would not get green lit nowadays. Yes, big budget films have always needed a big star in order to get it's distribution figures, but Billy Elliot, for example, wouldn't get funded in today's market."

[Nagel]

This idea that films and tv used be greenlit based on quality is nonsense really. It was always based around box office and viewing figures and what is and is not marketable. Data driven algorithms are just the modern technological extension of that. The idea that in the past a studio would prefer a good script with a has-been director and unknown actor over a bad script with a famous movie star and trendy director is just laughable really.

[Nagel]

"""Ben Stiller is the highest paid actor in the world, and Jason Statham isn't too far behind"" I think you mean Adam Sandler, not Ben Stiller. In any case, Statham earned so much in the last year because he starred in 5 films, 3 of which he produced himself. The Meg 2 and Fast X alone made over half a billion dollars in profit. Adam Sandler has that Netflix deal and makes 3-4 films a year, most of which he produces and some of which he also writes. What these people earn hasn't got that much to do with data driven algorithms. It's how much work they put in. On the other hand, someone you presumably respect, Leo diCaprio, earned as much as Statham last year and he's made just one film in the last 3 years."

"I like Gyllenhaal too but like a lot of actors does some bad ones, he was in 'Ambulance' a year or so back which is meant to be shocking. Won't be bothering with Roadhouse, loved the original though."

[Alfs]

"Agree about Road House, the original is far better. But all films were better back then. I'm presently doing a polish on a script about a fairly famous 1970s footballer's early life. The original script is seriously shit but it fits Netflix's algorithm and is more or less green lit, however, the footballer in question is refusing to sign the rights over, as it's not a true reflection of what happened and is dreadfully clunky. Yet it's attracted some trending actors, as they want to make some money, as the writers strike as restricted their income, Sadly, the films and tv you watch on streaming services are no longer based on quality, but data driven algorithms, which is why Ben Stiller is the highest paid actor in the world, and Jason Statham isn't too far behind. I could take a stunning script to Netflix, or Amazon, to be directed by a long time collaborator of mine, who has won an Oscar and a Bafta (20 years ago), and starring a brilliant, yet unknown, young actor, and they'd pass. Or, I could take a shit script with JLo attached, with a hip young director, and they'd write a Cheque for $50,000,000. Unfortunately, I don't have an in with JLo. Or a shit script. Apologies for the rant."

[RBshorty]

Well Cillian Murphy should rest easily. McGregor ain’t coming for his Oscar any time soon. Leave your brain at the door. It’s inoffensive enough. And you won’t remember by tomorrow.

[zico]

"Takashi Miike 9:12 Fri Mar 22 Watched it last night and thought it was poor. I like Gyllenhaal as an actor but agree with you the charisma was lacking and McGregor was just bizarre. Found that the action sequences were choreographed so much none looks off the cuff and it seems like they are dancing rather than fighting. CGI effects for sequences looked just that, CGI effects. Acting was crap which is saying something compared to a cheesy but enjoyable original and not sur what films are doing these days with these irritating young villains. At least Ben Gazzara had a nastiness to him in the original whereas these new kids just need putting over a knee and given a slap."

[Takashi Miike]

"watched most of the new Roadhouse. it's watchable if you're bored, but nothing special. Gyllenhaal is probably a better actor the Swayze, but I think he lacks his charisma for such a role. also, Connor McGregor is very annoying :.)"

[Far Cough]

Anyone seen or familiar with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Baahubali The Beginning? Looks to have amazing graphics.

[Council Scum]

"Statham made $44mil last year putting him in the top 10 earners for acting. Fair play to him, he's made a great living off of little talent. Watched Rickey Stinkey with the family last night, enjoyable 90mins of family fun."

[Alfs]

A remake of Roadhouse is coming on the 21st March. Looks pretty good going by the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ZsLudtfjI&ab_channel=PrimeVideo

[zico]

"The Beekeeper, Jason Statham's latest effort on Sky. A mate, who is a big fan, got me into Statham's films a couple of years ago. Most I have seen are 10 or 15 years old. Some are enjoyable enough, some not as much. This though is by far the worst I have seen. Everything wrong with modern day films is in here, even Statham looks embarrassed. The fighting choreography looks like they are dancing, the villains are comical and Jeremy Irons must need the money. Makes The Meg look Oscar winning material."

[Chip Shop Charlie]

MMG. Somehow I'd missed Kingdom when it came out....great to watch a good old fashioned epic with 30000 extras instead of cgi. Cheers

[RBshorty]

Dune: Part 2. Visually good. Deafening soundtrack. But nowhere near as great as some are claiming.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Anyone interested in Kingdom of Heaven should try and find the Directors Cut. Far superior to the theatrical release.

[Northern Sold]

Really enjoyed The Last Duel he done... and yeah there might have been some artistic licence with that but seeing as I knew fuck all about the story I didn't give a Monkeys (same as with Kingdom of Heaven)
