I'm pretty neutral on it. Which I guess isn't worth a post.The ending will cause debate I am sure.
I doubt the trigger warning was aimed at male FoC on bluemoon tbf, but more women and younger more sensitive folk.I'm pretty neutral on it. Which I guess isn't worth a post.
The trigger warning bugged me because I'm an old man and I think the film is styled to give a bit of distance from the abuse of power. You don't see much of it until the end - it's probably more noticeable on a second viewing. I'm not a lady either so it possibly hits different from that perspective.
Amazon know more about me than my own mother. I'm sure the algorithm can insert trigger warnings where necessary :) I need one for School of Rock - that film has me weeping at the endI doubt the trigger warning was aimed at male FoC on bluemoon tbf, but more women and younger more sensitive folk.
Its not something I need to be warned about either
MP & The Holy Grail, just, tops it.The Life of Brian. Haven't seen it for probably seven or eight years.
It's the story of Brian Cohen, born ‘in the stable next door' to Jesus Christ’s, who gets mistaken for the Messiah and also suffers crucifixion. On the strength of its mildly sacrilegious, hugely profitable predecessor, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, EMI Films were putting up the Hollywood-size budget of $4 million.
Then, with shooting about to start in Tunisia, EMI’s chairman, Lord Bernard Delfont, happened belatedly to read the script – ending with a mass crucifixion and Eric Idle hanging from a cross singing ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ – and pulled the plug forthwith.
Enter George Harrison who was a massive fan of Monty Python and close friend of Eric Idle and Michael Palin.
George very much wanted to see the film made and so borrowed 400,000 quid from a personal friend and the rest he re mortgaged his big house at Henley on Thames.
Quite an enormous risk at that time and the Monty Python team were extremely grateful as no other studio would touch it due to it being wall to wall blasphemy!!
Anyway it's a fabulous film extremely funny and I give it 10 out of 10.
(And thank you George Harrison)
My favourite comedy of all time, the blazing saddles and Holy Grail. Me and my dad can recite the whole of Life of Brian it’s just a classic and more importantly it pissed the church off.The Life of Brian. Haven't seen it for probably seven or eight years.

Gave it 20 minutes before I gave up, was hoping for betterNosferatu
Good Lord, this is one movie that took itself way too seriously, in trying to make the villain overly scary, they turned him into some kind of parody, the rolling accent, Johnny Depp's kid and her overacting, Aaron Taylors character struggling to find relevance. For me, Herr knock and the guy with the deep voice were the best characters.
This one could have been an easy all time great but Eggers seemed to have an eye on the Oscars when he turned this into a drabfest, to make matters worse I can't even remember what this new Nosferatu looks like, it's like he's so scary, the camera couldn't even give us a good look at him. Sorry the old one was a lot scarier than this oscarbait.
Egers needs to stop bothering about the Oscars and just put out good movies.
Harrison made a habit of financing risky film projects for the benefit of mankind. The Long Good Friday was originally funded by Lew Grade’s ITC, but he was so horrified by the content and subject matter (he thought it would glamourise the IRA and simultaneously cause them to bomb cinemas - not sure how that works) that he wanted to gut it and show it as a TV movie. Handmade bought out the rights and released it as was, so good on George for that too.The Life of Brian. Haven't seen it for probably seven or eight years.
