Liam Neeson in as Frank Drebin. That’s good casting. The issue is the script. With PC Hollywood calling the shots. I wouldn’t hold out much hope on this one.

"I've just read that they're making ‘THE NAKED GUN’ reboot (surprise surprise another reboot), coming out next year. It looks like HOLLYWOOD doesn't want to involve the writers or director of the original, so you know it's going to be extremely shit."

Northern Sold 4:05 Wed Feb 21 'Old Rudy knew he was a bit of a cսnt' Made me laugh out loud! You can be the master of the understatement!

Watched Zone of Interest last night (on the box)... I'm with you Chim... certainly played on my mind... the sound editing was superb... that constant background... mechanical sound.. brilliantly done.... very uneasy viewing and sometimes the best horrors are not what you see... very very clever. Interesting reading up about the Hoess family after... old Rudy had a bit of a climbdown at the N'burg trial... knew he was a bit of a cսnt and apologised for his general cuntishness... where as his missus fucked off to the US... died in washington DC in the 90's IIRC

"""Everything coming out is a prequal, sequel, reboot or remake nowadays."" I guess that's probably because those things don't need to build an audience from scratch, and there's not enough cinemagoers these days for producers to risk spending a big budget on something new which could well be a financial disaster. With sequels and the like it's a lot easier to pre-sell distribution rights and have a lot of the budget covered before they even start filming."

"I guess it's not for everyone Manip and won't have enough skinny naked dead people bulldozed into holes, but personally I thought it was a masterpiece. It's strange that the second time I saw it was with my brother and I realised (for the first time) that it appears that there's not a lot going on and some people (including my brother) wouldn't 'get' it and think it's shit. I was too busy trying to peep over the walls and through open doors to find it boring, just quietly horrifying. My brother came out and to his credit said that he thought it was brilliant."

"Just got back from finding out The Zone of Interest wasn't very interesting. Gave it an hour, nothing happened, so left. Shit. swt"

"Lee Trundle - You are so right. I miss my old mate who ran a video shop, who knew every customers tastes and I never had a bad film from him. Only thing he didn't advise on was comedy. I think half the problem is there isn't original writing anymore and the days of many films being adapted from books seems long gone. Many of my favourites come from adaptations from the likes of Alistair Maclean, Frederick Forsyth, John Le Carre, John Grisham and Ian Fleming of course."

"I know it's been brought up in here before, but literally everything coming out is a prequal, sequel, reboot or remake nowadays. There's very little originality."

As CS says there's fuck all to watch these days.

"Looking forward to Dune 2 Also just seen Villeneuve is doing Rendezvous With Rama movie, Villeneuve + Arthur C Clarke should be a great mix"

"Watched The Dark on Amazon prime at the weekend, enjoyed it. Nothing new coming out at the moment that I want to see."

"How has this fallen from the first page? I've been a busy boy with my film watching lately and saw (again) the fantastic 'The Zone of Interest' at the cinema (again!), The Holdovers and American Fiction. All of those are well worth watching if you value craft, screenwriting and an ability for you to to look at things from a completely different perspective than your own. After that it's just slim pickings as there's no need for Hollywood to release anything decent because those films are good shots for making the Oscars. Anything else great now will be forgotten until the next Oscars in a year's time which is pointless to the cunts who have to look at their phones 3 times during a film."

"paul6565 12:32 Sun Feb 4 Gave it a watch. What an inane and ridiculous film. Thoroughly enjoyed it.,"

Saw American Fiction yesterday. Best film I've seen in a long time.

Just watched Nobody again. What a great movie this is.. Unexpected but absolutely fine.

"The Holdovers is really good, I really like Giamatti anyway so I suppose that helped with my enjoyment. Hopefully it wins best picture, as usual most of the films look shit."

"Manip 12:13 Thu Jan 18 I've seen The Zone Of Interest and didn't find it a particularly tough film to watch. However, like all great art it stayed with me and became more haunting as the days went by. I can't wait to see it again."

Really enjoyed The Holdovers & Poor Things recently Expect Paul Giamatti & Emma Stone will pick up the Best Actor/Actress Oscars with Giamatti beating Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer I see there has been a lot of bleating that the Director & star of Barbie havent been nominated ... ITS A PATRIACHAL CONSPIRACY as it was the leading box office film of the year Understand Avatar was the top box office film of 2022 & dont think James Cameron got a Best director nomination

"Cure (1997). Very good japanese psychological horror. link here, with english subtitles https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XOXCohRr5hM&pp=ygUJY3VyZSAxOTk3"

"Swiss. 5:28 Wed Jan 17 ""It’s because of Homophobic, racist, bigoted scum like you I don’t want to associated with this site anymore."" Drinks are on me!"

Watch One Life with Anthony Hopkins last night. Sir Nicholas Winston certainly deserved his knighthood. The Zone of Interest which is coming out in February is going to be a tough watch.

"Saltburn, just a load of media hyped shit tbh....Not worth watching."

"Lee So 5min homosexual scene in 2hr 11 min film makes it bum fest. You really show yourself up again. I’m not gay but even if I was why would be a problem? It’s because of Homophobic, racist, bigoted scum like you I don’t want to associated with this site anymore. No wonder it’s going to the dogs."
