Last Film You Saw

[Mancity1980]

Watched The Martian last night. Very good

My college uses The Martian as an example of incorrectly using science in Films!

The problem for me was there wasn't a story and the ending was a bit of a let down.

I know what you mean, a friend of mine once said that about Pulp Fiction. The Manson murders changed a Hollywood and America, it was regarded as the end of the carefree 60s and the start of the paranoid, violent 70s. This film is an alternative history, thus the title “once upon a time...”. I guess it is not everyone’s cup of tea, my wife wouldn’t watch it.

Going to watch "The Thing" tonight. I've seen it many times but the wife has never.
One of my favourites of all time.

Apparently the "prequel" which came out in 2011 had the same special effects team work on the film, famous for their animatronic effects.
After the film was complete, either the producer or director (not sure) decided it looked too 80's so they edited the entire movie with CGI over the animatronic effects.
End result an ok movie with shite special effects.
Shame we couldnt see that original edit.

Not sure the scientific accuracy (or lack of) is vital here. It's not a documentary, it's a Hollywood film, a bit of harmless escapism.

Not having a pop at you, by the way!

Good film, really enjoyed Hereditary. Midsommar on the other hand, thought it was shite.

Cadillac Records...the "story" of Chess Records. Although I hear it's factually a mess there is some fabulous music throughout.

Fair enough, I like midsommar more than hereditary.
