Forced to watch La La Land, wasn't at all sure to start especially after the first song but it turned out quite a watchable film without ever turning too mushy. Throwback to films of yesteryear without the sappy ending.

Watched Trainspotting 2 today and extremely disappointed.Only scenes worth watching were the ones with Begbie in them.

yes i did expect a marvel movie ,they are marvel charactors .
what did we get ,bloody la la land in space.

I like GoG but it's a shame that Marvel don't own the movie rights for too many of their cosmic characters - like your namesake, unfortunately.

Good to see them teasing Adam Warlock though.

Me too, I read that comic for years.

I preferred the original Guardians of the Galaxy to the latter Avengers spin-offs. Too much "USA USA" chest thumping and action over substance. Some of the chase/action scenes are tediously long.
I went to see "Their Finest" and really liked it. A good cast, good story-line with just the right amount of humour. What the British do so well. Bill Nighy is at his best.

Watched The Manchurian Candidate (1962) on TCM couple of evenings ago. Excellent thriller and especial fun for all Trump-watchers.

Just watched Casablanca. So many great lines, particularly in the last 20 minutes. Lines you have heard repeated so many times except this is where they originated. Really good film.

First one wasn't great, missed the mark quite spectacularly. Is the second one real, I hadn't heard it was in production?

Ha ha. Well, as many people will know that is the one quote that is not actually said in the way repeated. What I didn't know before was that it wasn't Bogart who says it. So, it's generally misquoted and in the wrong voice 😱.

Just pre-ordered Guardians 2 on Blu ray.

Suicide Squad. Firmly in the not bad pile.

Suicide Squad. Firmly in the not bad pile.

I wasn't convinced.
All new characters being introduced (except for the joker), limited back stories on any of them really so you don't really get to know the characters well. Then it just fired straight into 'you're anti-heroes that need to save the world'.

Apparently they edited it massively after deadpool came out and cut a load of stuff about the joker out.

 

[USER1999]

Suicide squad. I got distracted by margot robbies shorts, and sort of forgot about the rest of the film.

 

[Midnight]

Just watched Trainspotting 2 , I really enjoyed it and will watch it again.

 

[Beezerk]

Watched Suicide Squad the other day, absolute tripe but the missus was happy.
Joy last night was brilliant, that Jennifer Lawrence has been in some damn fine films mind.

 

[Midnight]

Also watched Alien Covenant. Again liked the film , very gory. As a Alien film I enjoyed it and was not disappointed, as a follow up to Prometheus I was disappointed as I wanted more story about the planet and inhabitants.

I'm just watching The Sapphires on BBC 2, It's like an Aussie version of the The Commitments .
Comedy and some great music, oh the memories lol.
