Last Film You Saw

[Thorin Oakenshield]

I don't think I would have stayed behind at the crossroads. Once Brad Pit said I could fook off I would have pegged it, as I have a thing about Crossroads being non conducive to health or wealth.

I'm having a month of being more honest with myself so would just like to say I wouldn't have stayed at the Spartan Hot Gates either and would deffo have done one from the Alamo with the women, kids and sensible ones. Don't get me started on the Titanic .. bit of lippy, a nice flowery frock and into a lifeboat I go!

Escaping from the hot gates and the alamo would have made you a deserter , which would guarantee you a fairly painful death..

Just watched this. Superb. If you like The Host (Korean) then this is for you.

Same director. The one that won an Oscar for the brilliant Parasite. He also made Okja which is also very very good.

I know of a secret pass Thorin through the anopaia mountains over Mt Kallidromos and it is written in the oracle that all should have an exit plan.

As for the Alamo I saw the film and before Santa Anna attacked the fort, Colonel Travis offered everyone who didn't wish to stay the option to ride out. If any one at that point was still unsure whether to leave, there were hidden word clues in his last stand speech such as "heavily outnumbered" "ridiculously outflanked" and "we shall all die for Texas". I guess there's no shame in regrouping to reassess the auntie.

Just watched Tenet....can someone please explain ???

I really like Nolan's work purely on the basis that they stretch reality and make you think. Memento was the first I watched of his and was an excellent film with a big twist. I think it you review in more detail then the plots do fall apart a bit and his use of music is overly distracting in some films that are hard enough to follow without further distraction.

Tenet was too much. It missed an adequate explanation at the start that could have helped people follow it more closely. Because, from the start, it's all over the place you are already at a loss by the time the premise is explained and whilst it is undoubtedly clever in the way the scenes repeat forwards and backwards from different perspectives it could have been produced and pieced together in a clearer manner.

Inception was clearly a similarly layered film but there was more time spent explaining the premise and how it worked that enabled the film to be followed more easily. I think Nolan probably avoided doing the same in Tenet for fear people would just think it was an identical film just based on time vs reality rather than dream vs reality. But actually, that is all that it is.

By Spartan law, you return with your shield or on it

It felt to me like Nolan was trying to make a "Christopher Nolan" film. You know what I mean?
Shyamalan fell into the same trap with The Village.

I enjoyed Dunkirk because it felt different so I hope he does something more straight forward next time

Same director. The one that won an Oscar for the brilliant Parasite. He also made Okja which is also very very good.

Bong Join Ho
He's one of my favourites at the moment along with the brilliant Robert Eggers.

Just downloaded a 1080 version of "Those Who Wish Me Dead". Will try to take a look at it over the weekend. It looks decent in the trailers. Yeah, I know; what a surprise, eh?

Uncut gems - Adam Sandler was fantastic.

I liked the movie - but I felt sad for the protagonist.
