I watched godfather 1 & 2 over the weekend. Loved the first one but the 2nd one had too many similar characters whole towards then end I couldn’t tell apart so couldn’t figure out what was going on

"I bet your favourite film ever is Flashdance, son?"

"In all seriousness everyone has different tastes and thank god they do otherwise life would be fucking boring… I have had raised eyebrows galore come my way when I have guffawed at peoples fav film and Shawshank Redemption comes up… I found it one of the biggest pretentious films ever… but saying that I watched it again a few months ago and enjoyed it more than I did the first time… but for me it’s not even in the same ball park as a Lawrence of Arabia, Godfather etc… oh and don’t get me on that new Top Gun film…. Fucking hell… what a mess (yet loads LOVED IT)…… and that was me sitting in a IMAX… however I will give Cruise his dos have a very nice P51 Mustang… Anyway as I say it would be boring if we was all whacking one off at the same films…"

"Fwiw, I really liked Banshees, was a bit of an ''Oscar film'' though."

"Bruuuno As the director of Banshees, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. I think it's so important that cinema as a medium has a message, don't you? I didn't want to put the pretty Irish tart in it, but the studios... you know. The compromises one has to make for ones art. Did I mention that I'M A FUCKING AUTEUR? So the plebs can just fuck off, sit in their ghastly pub, tug their forelocks and fiddle with their dreadful flat caps."

Surf ... you'd make a great film critic mate.... It's a pile of cսnt... Ha Ha Ha!! My MATE (Kev the Plumber) said the same... but then again his fav film is Rocky III and Top Gun... Now tell Mrs Surf' I ill pick her up on my tandem... I'll be dressed as a leprechaun

I loved banshees! Feck off !

"""Surf.... I'll go with your missus to go and see Banshee's of wotsiname... I LOVED it.... i'll even go Dutch on the popcorn... Antman??? Naaaaah...."" Where to even start with that, son. Fucking hell. I bet you drink Prosecco and eat prawn cocktail crisps?"

"Banshees is a tedious Vincent Van Gogh biopic transposed to Oirland so they can have lots of pretty Oirishy scenery and Oirishy music played in dimly-lit Oirishy pubs. Swap ears for fingers, add a wicked copper fucking his John Mills in Ryan's Daughter son up the arse and MickTimPat's your uncle. It's a pile of cսnt aimed cynically and squarely at winning an uncontroversial arty Oscar. The Irish count as honorary blacks, so there'll be no squealing on that account, to be sure."

Sold Banshee's was shit.

NS I believe you also enjoy tennis. How many different types of cheese have you got in your fridge...?

SurfaceAgentX2Zero 11:15 Tue Mar 7 South Park makes a mention of this in one of the recent episodes. It’s just tedious

Surf.... I'll go with your missus to go and see Banshee's of wotsiname... I LOVED it.... i'll even go Dutch on the popcorn... Antman??? Naaaaah.... Watched White Boy Ricky last night... enjoyed...

"Council Scum 11:57 Mon Mar 6 'Its really getting boring with the whole ""Women are much cleverer than men, much stronger than men"" crap. There is nothing wrong with strong male characters, it's like they are to ashamed to have one anymore. Even if they do have one in a vaguely decent light, he's always a bit stupid now, because women are much smarter...' This is why Disney is losing money hand over fist. If you tell half your audience they are thick and useless, they become reluctant to shovel bucks your way in order to be told that. It's especially silly when, in the real world, it's the half of your audience that specially enjoys the type of flicks you are making. For instance, I will have to endure some shit like the Banshees of Wosname in order to get get the other half to accompany me to see Antman 3. Why will I do that if I'm going to spend 2 hours being patronised and insulted in the film I do want to see? I might as well see neither. If it wasn't for Avatar 3 Disney would be bankrupt, and I'm really not sure Avatar 4 is going to pull off the same trick, because if you look below the blue cgi, that has pretty much the same message."

Zico Yeah I was thinking exactly the same thing ref the shooting scene when they Hart is asking if they are firing blanks and not real ammunition. A bit risqué.

A Man Called Otto. Well worth a watch we all know someone who is exactly like Tom Hanks character

"Watched Antman with my daughter Friday night. Its ok, well compared to recent Marvel (Disney) Films. Its really getting boring with the whole ""Women are much cleverer than men, much stronger than men"" crap. There is nothing wrong with strong male characters, it's like they are to ashamed to have one anymore. Even if they do have one in a vaguely decent light, he's always a bit stupid now, because women are much smarter..."

"Saw Cocaine Bear the other day cos I'm a bit of a culture vulture, me. High brow stuff. Was mildly amusing. Wait for it to appear on sky though."

"Swiss, yeah I quite enjoyed Die Hart. Was it all merged together from a mini TV series he did a few years ago to create the film? Reason I ask is the scene in it with guns and blanks, even a non woke bugger like me thought was possibly a bit raw considering the Alec Baldwin thing."

I thought Die Hart was quiet amusing Can’t wait for Cocaine Bear. Inspired by true events….lol

Watched The Wonder on Netflix last night... got to admit I wondered how I managed to sit through 2 hours about a story of a Irish girl who refused to eat... back to Trailer Park Boys

Thanks Mike.

"not sure how good, but that has subtitles"
