I don't often watch films but finally got around to watching one the bluerays my Stepson bought us at Christmas. Based on a Neil Gaiman story 'How to talk to girls at parties' is set in the UK in the late 70s during the birth of Punk and features aliens.
We loved it, very funny, brilliantly constructed.
Started watching 1917 yesterday. Prime vid really plays shady with the rental option. I didn't realize they only give you 36 hrs to finish a rental once you pay. That's bogus and no better than old Blockbuster vids. But at least you could keep those and pay massive late fees :p
What do u think so far is it very well done?Quote:

It looks it right off but I'm only to the point where they start crossing no mans land. The set work and costuming are very good. Had no idea that that one guy was 'Tommen' from Game of Thrones. Looks completely different now.Quote:

Bohemian Rhapsody - Everyone knows what it's about. I thought it was great. The Live Aid stuff was brilliant. The whole cast were great. Had no idea Mike Myers was Ray Foster and Adam Lambert was the trucker.
Watched the Netflix program with Queen and Adam Lambert after. That was good too. I know some people have issues with it, someone else 'being Freddie' but Lambert is an amazing vocalist.
I think the movie would have been better if Sasha Cohen Barron or whatever his name is played the part he wanted to show the real Freddie Prince.Quote:

They thought Cohen wasn't serious enough. Given his back catalogue you could see their point of view.
Malik was brilliant. I know he didn't sing much but he did become Freddie really well.
My Mrs is a massive Queen fan and asked me if I'd go and watch them with Adam Lambert. Initially I said no, not the same blah blah. I can barely cope when a second actor comes in to play a lead in a second film let alone someone else try to be Freddie Mercury. Now I would though.

Insane money that.

quite humorous.
Terminator 2. Despite Edward Furlong being an annoying little cunt and doing his best to ruin every scene. It's just awesome ain't it. Even the bits that are naff are brilliant. Arnie not Arnie jumping a hog off of a wall. Brilliant.
The latest Terminator 6 carries on from Terminator 2 and does have some good action scenes.Quote:
