And I couldn't help thinking "Wait, that was it? Isn't there a bigger finale?" Like my brain actually expected, I dunno, Dr. Grant to dive on the back of a T-Rex

Because you'd just mentioned them driving away, I read that as drive on the back of a T-Rex. The print is pretty small on my screen. So I pictured him driving a jeep up the back of a large T-Rex like a ramp then leaning out to stab the T-Rex to sort of pivot the car around to where they need to go. Maybe uses it to get up a cliff face. Now that would be something.

What it needs is an epic charge. Something like the JPPD armed with handguns charging up a narrow alleyway against raptors armed with assault rifles

Got to watch the delightfully cheesy classic Fright Night today, a lovely romp!

It's Sunday.

Netflix don't care.

So I'd finally be able to watch Next Friday?

And I couldn't help thinking "Wait, that was it? Isn't there a bigger finale?" Like my brain actually expected, I dunno, Dr. Grant to dive on the back of a T-Rex with a knife and stab it and hold on for dear life while it thrashes around, and velociraptors with firing lasers from their heads are doing back flips through the frame. Or pterodactyls attacking the helicopter while it's flying through the gorge.

That sounds like something out of the newest one. A little girl did a flip and kicked a raptor out a window.

It's 2020, we don't have days of the week anymore.

[Iduno]

This is the new way of tracking days.

He posts a description of one minute of the film Heat every day. He's been doing it for a month, so he should be done by October or so.

I'm not sure which part of the joke you're not understanding. That I think I can only watch a movie on the day it's named after, or that it will never be Next Friday, it will always be This Friday.

Ah right, sorry... Covid has been messing with my head a bit and I've been having difficulty remembering the days of the week.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fright. Then the weekend, which consists only of Saturday and Samuel.

Just watched The Hateful Eight, or however the title was spelled.   
Pretty damn depressing movie that left a bad taste in my mouth, but I guess if it had such a potent effect it must have at least some merit...? I guess? Hmmm, I dunno. Probably not. At least the soundtrack was good for the most part!   

[Il Palazzo]

God damnit Shin Gojira. It was wonderfully weird for maybe the first half - like some bastard child of Threads and The Thick of It, only with a fantabulously bonkers monster in tow. And then it went just standard Japanese weird.

Just watched Son of a Gun, with Ewan McGregor and Matthew Nable.   
It was pretty good, plenty of action and it's nice to see a decent Aussie crime film for the first time in a while (not that I'm an expert on such things), but... well...   

Spoiler: Major spoilers for the film, do not open unless you've either seen it or have no interest in ever watching it (click to show/hide)

...You simply cannot make a movie like this and not give the viewer the satisfaction of watching the dumbass main character die a much-deserved death at some point.
Jesus Christ, what a disappointment. Kinda detracts from any realism the plot may have had when some utter dipshit just manages to blunder their way through, fucking up as often as possible, and come out okay regardless.    

   

Also, on a less spoiler-y note, a lot of the soundtrack friggin' sucked.   
It's alright when it's someone listening to shithouse music in the story, that's just realistic (the bogan arms dealer blasting an EDM remix of Forever Young in his trailer was probably a highlight of the film), but a fair few important scenes were drowned in horrible, piano-laden caterwauling that was probably supposed to pass for sentimental. Blech.

Watched the movie "Mandy" a couple weeks back, posting it now cause I just realised this thread existed.

Holy shit, this was easily The Cage's best performance, that I've seen. I doubt he's had any other roles where he's been able to simultaneously go full ham, as well as show genuine human pain and grief, to this degree.



The action was great in the latter half of the movie. Short, brutal, and bloody. Very cathartic in some bits. Absolutely fantastic soundtrack. If you're any fan of occult trappings, Lovecraftian literature, and metal music, you may end up liking this movie.



I will say the beginning was pretty slow. I had already spoiled myself on a lot of the movie, so I was invested enough to have faith, sit still and be patient. By around 15-20 minutes in, the movie really starts.

Best recommendation for the beginning is to either try and appreciate the artistic quality and effort going into each shot, or watch the beginning with a friend and just go full peanut gallery: crack jokes every few seconds about everything onscreen.
