Beautifully fleshed out characters, lovely cinematography, carefully and lovingly made. Solid source material is a great advantage. Blown away. Missing between 23/12/17 - 15/05/24.

Renton 21978 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The dropout. Almost finished it. Brilliant. If you liked Dopesick, you'll like this. Don't know what it was originally on, but like Dopesick, it's on iPlayer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46003 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Aye it was good. She's a deeply strange person. Worth digging out some YouTube footage of her talking, it's every bit as ridiculous as the actress portrays it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46003 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Will that not put him off? The Phantom Menace was a political space-drama. Absolute snooze fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intergalactic Brexit. Plus it had fucking Jar Jar Binks. The CGI - which is everywhere - inevitably looks shite by modern standards too. The next two were more entertaining. The last 3 they made, especially the last one, no, the last two, Jesus Wept. Apart from that, good plan Holden. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6782 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 He has to see the bad to appreciate the good. He has got through the first half without any issues. It’s basically on par with Mary Poppins. Half cartoon. The only good thing in it is Darth Maul and then they kill him off 🤷🏻. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21978 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 And that's another thing. How's it fair for the two of them to gang up on poor Maully? Should have been a square go. Clearly the Sith know the rules unlike the fucking shitein cunt jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that, good plan Holden. 👍 Episode two was the worst of the lot. It was literally Space PMQs for three hours (or was that Ep 1?) Was it three where Anakin goes beyond the boundaries of the dark side and kills a bunch of bairns? That was the only good one. I actually didn't mind the first of the new ones, it fell off rapidly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the second of the middle ones - attack of the clones - was better than the first, although the acting from Hayden Christensen was execrable. The last of that trilogy was enjoyable despite the hammy acting. The first new one was just a pointless reboot and they needlessly killed off the the best character with the worst villain ever. I'd say overall I'm amazed at how badly they managed to fuck up a multi-billion franchise like, the many series on Disney are in general just as awful. When it comes to Sci-Fi, I tend to prefer hard sci-fi (real science) over soft sci-fi (made up bollocks). Not much of the former available though, maybe Star Trek and films like Interstellar at a stretch, or the martian, plus various dystopian films that feel like they are coming more true by the day.

Holden McGroin 6782 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Aye, I think Attack of the Clones was worse than Phantom menace. He has an inset day today so he watched some of it earlier. I hope he finishes it off before I finish work so we can get straight onto Revenge of The Sith.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylo Ren with his home made lightsaber that didn't work properly . I think he worked as a gen z antagonist, in that his main power was that he was a fucking whinging bastard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Mandalorian and the Rosario Dawson one to be honest. Thought the new trilogy was close to being good, but at every fork in the road they chose the wrong one. But then again, I'm not the target audience. I'm struggling to think of any good sci-fi, hard or soft, that has come out in ages. Moon? Does the Martian count? But so much is just rehashing original pieces and that's the biggest problem with the latest trilogy, certainly the first of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46003 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I liked Solo. A standalone film about Han Solo where the main actor pulls off a very solid Harrison Ford as Han Solo impression. Nothing not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I thought Rogue One was pretty decent, probably the best thing they've put out in recent decades. Andor runs it close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46003 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Has everyone watched Atlanta? It's ostensibly a half hour comedy show about a rapper and his management team in Atlanta. But as you go through the seasons they get more and more ambitious and it turns into social commentary, but always funny. I've just watched the episode where it's a mockumentary about, after the Rodney King riots, Disney appoints a black CEO who wants to make a goofy movie. He's convinced Goofy is a black bloke and he wants to tell the story of the black man in America through Goofy's eyes. Anyway strong recommend for the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One is the best of the new crop of Star Wars movies by some distance I’d say, although I agree that Solo was good fun and didn’t deserve the panning it apparently got.
