Watched the latest Bond last night. Very good, and far better than Skyfall and Spectre.
The poison island is a reference to You only live twice.
As such I wonder if, at the beginning of the next film, they have Bond being found in the water by a Russian trawler and taken to the KGB to be brain washed into trying to assassinate M ??

Everything everywhere all at once. Don't bother. Absolute pile of pooh. And I forced the missus and my sister to watch it ?. They weren't pleased.

Saw that at the cinema. I thought it was great. The missus said "I'm not sure of it was a work of genius or absolutely terrible!".

Watched Glass Onion last night. Not as good as the first Knives Out, but still enjoyable.

Is this in cinemas or a hooky stick ??

My Old School…on iPlayer.

A film-length part animated documentary about a most bizarre case of impersonation…that what it covers is true (I recall it being in the news quite clearly) makes it even more jaw-droppingly bonkers and fascinating…and since it is set in one of north Glasgow’s spam valleys makes it all the more delightful for a south-sider ?

I love almost all things Bond. Having seen all the films and read all the books.
I thought the Craig reboot was brilliant, with Casino Royale probably the best Bond film of the all, and QoS right near the top. But I thought Skyfall was terrible and Spectre not much better.

My other favs are From Russia with Love, Octopussy, The Spy Who Loved me, Goldfinger and GoldenEye.
Whilst the best novel was Moonraker.

 

[Whereditgo]

Bullet Train - surprisingly good.

Elvis - unsurprisingly very good.

Watched the Bowie film Moonage Daydream over the week end, I was expecting something along the lines of the Queen & Elton John movies, it was more a documentary and very typical of Bowie, fans of his I am sure will enjoy it.

“Food and rent. They’re not the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.”

I can always remember that line. No idea why.

Watched this over Christmas for the first time in many years and there is actually another scene worth a view, I seem to have forgotten it but its just as memorable, it's when Jamie undresses and climbs into bed with Dan Ackroyd who is suffering from a bout of influenza.

 

[Bdill93]

Watched John Wick parts 1, 2 and 3 over the xmas period - awesome, don't know why I haven't watched them before

Is that where she says she’s looking after her investment? Yep. Remember that as well ?

 

[BiMGuy]

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Surprisingly good with some proper laugh out loud moments.

Ambulance. Classic heist movie, nothing new, too many drone shots, not bad.

Minions: The Rise of Gru. Amusing as Minions are.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The Menu. That was a lot of weird ?

Bohemian Rhapsody. Decent.

Watched it yesterday. Entertaining enough but why did they have to make up so much stuff that never actually happened, particularly around Live Aid?

The whole thing with the band splitting up because of Mercury's solo record, then getting back together at the very last minute was absolute nonsense. The band were rehearsing and recording as normal on the run up to Live Aid.

Also them feeling betrayed by Freddie wanting to make a solo record - pure fiction, other members had made solo records before Freddie did.

Then you get Freddie finding out he had AIDS and telling the band on the eve of Live Aid. He never found out until 1987 and didn't tell the band until 1989.

I don't mind when they make up trivial bits to help the story along (like him meeting his best friend, and the band, and joining them, all on the same night!), but the stuff around Live Aid and AIDS which are key parts of the story are completely fictitious and really surprised me given May and Taylor were heavily involved in making the film.

Mind you, when you think back to why Sacha Baron Cohen quit the film, it's maybe not such a surprise.

Just watched this as well. A bit mental really. I was kind of waiting for some sort of twist that didn't come, but it still wasn't bad.

Slightly worrying, my 2 grandsons are chefs and my granddaughters husband is a head chef.
