Last Film You Saw
- Thread starter FantasyIreland
- Start date
I was 12/13 when it came out.Braveheart was just out and the first thing I looked up on the internet after we installed Netscape at work. So it is my milestone for life before versus after the birth of the internet browser was made more available.
Those were the days - getting VHS tapes at the video shop in the town centre and us then all settling in to watch them - my dearly departed gran, grandad and aunt, as well as my mum, other aunt and brother sometimes too.
Other films we wore out on VHS include The Shawshank Redemption and Con Air.
Miss those days. The nostalgia is always there for them.
The days of watching a movie with the parents only for the uncomfortable moments of lovemaking on screen and no one knowning whether it was under or over the time threshold for a panicked fast forward.I was 12/13 when it came out.

Also life before porn and sneaking down late at night to find the fast forward spot and try 50 times (foreplay) to freeze frame.
Hahaha yeah I remember that too. Makes me laugh now. My granda was always the most embarrassed as he was sitting there with two or three daughters, lol.The days of watching a movie with the parents only for the uncomfortable moments of lovemaking on screen and no one knowning whether it was under or over the time threshold for a panicked fast forward.

Yeah true on the naughty videos as well. I remember I used to watch the Red Shoe Diaries with David Duchovny too, good stuff that. And I got excited by the film Showgirls.
This may not be my proudest admission either, but a little later, when I was 18, I once walked to the local petrol station to buy a dirty magazine. The girl behind the counter (who must have only been a few years older than me) was looking at me in judgement haha.
Youngsters now don't know they're born with the copious amount of free nudity and porn etc on the internet.
I wish it was still like that for our kids. We don't know how lucky we were.Hahaha yeah I remember that too. Makes me laugh now. My granda was always the most embarrassed as he was sitting there with two or three daughters, lol.

The internet and globalisation has changed the world for the better in some ways, but for the worse in many too. The feeling of mystery just isn't there anymore. Back then far off lands seemed so wondrous. And if you wanted to know about football/film/gaming you had to buy magazines and read what you could.
Now all anything takes is one trip to wikipedia. It's great in a way, but the world feels far smaller.

Hugh Jackman should have left it alone after Logan which was a good way of signing of the character. All about the money.It’s the worst film I’ve seen at the flea pit so far this year. Yet more proof that Marvel really is collapsing in on itself.
Ryan Reynolds should have a bash at not playing Ryan Reynolds I believe there is a decent actor in there waiting to come out.
If you told me back then that we could have thousands of films on demand within seconds, some straight from the cinema, on a small portable device on the move or on a giant tv with crystal clear picture, no tape or disc, I would have thought wow, that sounds incredible.I was 12/13 when it came out.

Now that we have it, Im not sure I want it. There was just something special about going to the videostore to finaly get my hands on that copy of Cliffhanger thats been rented out by others every night for the past 6 weeeks.
Or maybe its just nostalgia and a yearning to be 13 again.

The word I would use is fine, an inferior inglorious basterds film which wasn't perfect in itself.Was going to ask for opinions on "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare". Decided to try a search, and opinion seems to be generally favourable. Worth a look, then?

The more that gets thrown at us the more the quality suffers. Its a bleak period for films, TV series and music imho.
