Tyrant Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This concept interests me, the re-watching of a film already seen. One of my daughters is visiting this weekend and is taking her mother to La La Land. She's already seen it and it was hardly months ago when it first came out. She's not a thick cunt, doing a Ph.D. in highly specialised medicine having racked up first class honours and distinctions and stuff. But I think it's fucking stupid to go see a film again. You've seen it already! Why bother going again? My son wanted to join me to see T2, having seen it within 7 days earlier. What's wrong with these cunts, including my own? Understandable if it's Pulp Fiction (or other Tarantino's) or other brilliant films (of which there are very few) but wait a couple of years at least. Kids these days... I don't disagree. It has to be a really special film for me to watch it again so soon after initially seeing it. Django Unchained sprang to mind as I was thinking about films I could watch quickly again. But even that one was a couple of years when I think about it. There are films that I've seen several times but enough time has to pass between each showing so that I don't remember every single details. My own Mither, also an intellectual type like your daughter would watch The Green Mile regularly. A terrific film I know but not one that I could watch sometimes several times a month. Anyway. Next on my list is Gold. And then we'll see fit's fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just watched Manchester by the Sea. Boring as fuck. Sorry. Turned it off after an hour. What am I missing here??? Casey Affleck as i said before has to be the most miserable fucking actor on the planet. He plays such depressing characters in very boring films. Not the best of films for me.

1903_Redz Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Watched Hacksaw Ridge recently. It was a good film but i felt like i'd seen it before, up until he starts saving ab'dy in the last 40 mins or so. It was a bit, Full Metal Jacket / Saving Ryan's Privates etc. up to that point. Went to watch a dodgy copy of the latest Star Wars movie the other night.... the film was in the worst letter box format ever and was actually on my screen twice, in the top half and again in the bottom half. Fooking nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsdaft Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 As a non film buff may I butt in here and say that watching films you like over and over again is a pleasure. It's the same with reading books. Mrs Donsdaft doesn't understand it, she'd rather read some drivel than re-read a classic. I don't get the adversion at all, after all if you hear a good piece of music you don't think " that was great but I've heard it now so I never want to hear it again."

He'll be after an oscar. It's always boring and depressing films that nab them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Just watched Requiem for a Dream. The most powerful film I've ever seen. Genius in its construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Just watched Requiem for a Dream. The most powerful film I've ever seen. Genius in its construction. Agreed, not a film I've seen in probably about 13 years, very good film though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1903_Redz Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Told the Mrs when i get home from the trip at the end of the month we're going in to see T2. She's just informed me that because it's her birthday tomorrow / today she went in to see it tonight with a couple of pals. Telt her i wasn't impressed as i'd been looking forward to it. She replies "can't you just watch it on Kodi?" I despair with wimmin sometimes (a lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Watched Moana this afternoon (after the glorious game), what is it with Disney and Dreamworks making the lead young characters yank, despite their parents being Polynesian (or in the case of how to train your dragon - Scottish). Relaxing Sunday viewing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Got the nephew down for the fitba this w/e and he fancied seeing the 'Great wall' last night,without either of us knowing much about it Wasnt what we expected,a watchable film with some impressive scenes,but felt like we'd seen most of it before(think of a Chinese lesser version of Lord of the rings) 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie03 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm finally going to see Moonlight this week Yesterday I saw Twentieth Century Women which was rather quirky and pretty good Also a bril wee Italian film 7 Minuti - based on a true story about female workers in a textile factory - shades of 12 Angry Men and resonates with the whole Brexit immigration debate - well worth a watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Saw 8'days a week and loved it but I am a huge Beatles fan. (Them being by far the greatest musicians ever by a fucking country mile....that's no an opinion that's a FACT ) Really enjoyed 'Lion' mostly because it's a true story and an absolute tragedy ..won't say too much. Looking forward to seeing T2 .cannae wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nips_and_Tatties Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Mate I think the book will be brilliant. The film is a little slow but its good slow not 'Manchester by the sea' sloe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Watched hacksaw ridge today along with a streetcat called bob. Two very different kinds of films (obviously). Can't recall if someone had watched hacksaw ridge already (thought they had) but brilliant film, high intensity and again based on a true story. Streetcat called bob was also a true story, one which I could relate to having seen the very guy and cat it was about on the 38 bus home after work once. Nice seeing party of London I'd lived and work near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie03 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Viceroy's House was good tho I've since read that it was not quite historically accurate - Gillian Anderson was great as Mountbatton's wife. I also saw Elle which was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Saw live by night last night and although it gets average reviews. I really enjoyed it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Get Out is a good film. CHIPs Law and Disorder was better than I expected. But tbh be honest when a film critic slates a film that usually just makes me think I'll enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie03 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This week I've seen Beauty and thd Beast and finally Hidden Figures - both were very good For the first time this year I actually have no idea what I'm gonna go see next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I watched Criminal Activities on Netflix. It was nae too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
