Happy Face 29 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Came out at the same time as "No country for old men" which was a far superior film imo. Restricted myself to one per director to make room and have got far more enjoyment from Big Lebowski than NCFOM. Same reason there's no Magnolia though I'm not as sure of the decision to put TWBB above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3243 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I quite liked both of those. He's an utterly fucking ridiculous human being though. Full-on plastic Paddy. His wikipedia states he moved to the tough area of Greenwich. Now I am by no means an expert on the tougher areas of south london but is Greenwich one of them?

Adam Buxton and Garth Jennings discussed it on the Radio. I enjoy their discussion almost as much as the DDL performance. http://bogginsnuggets.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/i-drink-your-milkshake-adambuxton.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am by no means an expert on the tougher areas of south london but is Greenwich one of them? In the 1970s and 1980s, prior to gentrification, I could imagine it had bad areas. That reminds me, saw a film called Sing Street at the weekend set in Dublin. Was like a cross between the commitments and Gregory's girl, but not as good as either.

The Day-Lewis residence, however... I go jogging around there quite a lot, it's overlooking Greenwich Park and not exactly gang turf, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Bastille Day Watchable but basically shit, full of plot holes and hammy actors. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Imperium Harry Potter v the white supremacists. Not a masterpiece but quite an enjoyable watch. Terrifying that these people as portrayed in the film actually exist. (The intelligent, well off ones, not the knuckle staggers). 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Dead Pool Let down. Barely cracked more than a smile in the first half. A few good laughs later on. Was looking forward to the violent, sexual nature of the humor... Expecting a real grown up super hero film but got "zany" comedy with unicorns and "hashtag x". Not a patch on kickass, or even kingsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Aye. 'As funny as friends' is about as damming with faint praise as you can get. Also, it doesn't subvert convention as much as i was led to believe either. It more draws attention to how slavishly it sticks to convention.

Rayvin 4964 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yep - I might have enjoyed it more had it not been massively over-hyped as 'edgy', but there we are. It could have been done much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 David Brent - Life On The Road Awkward, hilarious in parts, decent ending. Overall not as good as it could have been, it was never going to match The Office but worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6053 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just seen David Brent. Mixed feelings on it. I like the angle the film took (ie.Brent's mental health/insecurities) but the film was essentially the same two jokes repeated about ten times and the ending was a straight rip off of the office finale. Worth a watch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
