It's a really good film. Did Don grate on you or did it not bother you?

Not bothered, like I am not not bothered by the plot holes either. Just a feel good film.

Had a bit of old school yesterday .the original King Kong, it was made in 1933 and the monster fights were for the time I would assume quite state of the art stuff probably predating the famous Ray Harryhousen.

Watched Booksmart last night on prime video, really enjoyed it.

Stargate (Channel 4 films) spawned one the best Sci Fi series in the last 30 years

This is not a recommendation but I can't wait for cinemas to re-open. We have a Vue near to us, their MD has spoken very well about how they are ready to open as soon as allowed. Cinema chains have put forward a plan to open safely and having seen it I think it is very feasible. I'll be there within days of them starting up again, hopefully early July I believe.

Certainly in the cinema itself, if the government move to 1m distancing to help industries such as this, they would only need to close off one seat between households to be compliant I would guess.

All well and good but who is going to release anything worth watching with limited box office takings.
We won't be seeing Avatar 2 or Top gun or anything that could be construed to be watchable untill it's back to normal for cinemas

Agree with that, think most big releases will be postponed until August/September at least.

Not sure you would have to in my local cinema, reckon there is pretty much a meter throuh depends where you measure from, always assumed it was head to head

Yeah I guess it is about a metre when I think about it.

Then again, 1 metre seems acceptable for someone you pass in a shop for a few seconds. Not so sure about watching a Tarantino movie. That's an awful long time to be only a metre away from someone! ;-) Do yawns spread the virus as effectively as sneezes?

I am guessing the time in proximity to people in a cinema may mean masks are compulsory to start with.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Henry Fonda must be one of the best entries of a character in movies. And that was at a time were people were mostly spoiler free. I saw an interview on youtube where he described how people were shocked that it was him shooting up the family.

I think you have your films mixed up .you quoted the good the bad and the ugly which started Clint not Henry .the film you are describing is once upon a time in America , that is the film that Henry shot the family.

Sorry, you are right. Once upon a time in the west it was ;-(

Certainly wouldn't at my local after the refurb.

just watched the original Oldboy [2003] again - i could not remember it an the memory was that it was over-rated - well it is not. What a great film

Now to the 2013 US remake, which i have also seen but cannot remember!

 

[PNWokingham]

Just watched the Spike Lee version of Oldboy - and it is a very good remake! Both well worth watching
