Howmanheyman 33951 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Aye, haven't watched Twilight either but I read somewhere it was fan fiction from that. She's made plenty money out of it like so fair play I suppose. As an aside, I did English for my degree and we once had to read a Mills and Boon book, 'Fuck me gently' I can't remember my old dear reading that one, mind?

The Fish 10978 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Never quite understood how 50 Shades of Grey is Twilight fan fiction? There's no vampires in 5sog is there? Mind, saying that, there's no fucking vampires in Twilight either. I can barely put up with people trying to re-write classic myths "Oooh, these vampires are actually infected with some kind of pathogen", but making them sparkly and vegetarian is just bullshit. Apparently Universal have the rights for the classic monsters and are re-booting them the first being The Mummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good performance by McEvoy and a nice little bit at the end but I didn't really get into it. Thought it was complete tosh. Don't understand how M.Night continues to get money to make films. Everything he makes loses money now. Last Airbender cost the studio hundreds of millions in losses. Sixth Sense and Signs were the last two to make a decent profit and they were ages ago. https://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-death-spiral-of-m-night-shyamalans-career/ Edited February 13, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the Lady In The Water, The Village or The Happening despite their massive flaws. But the drop off from the three before was huge.

Kid Dynamite 7192 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It was canny enough but takes the piss that they've invented a character so that Mark fucking Whalberg can save the day.

zico martin 90 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Watched I, Daniel blake last night. Excellent stuff from Loach and as depressing and shocking as I expected. Not sure if it was just me but i thought a lot of the acting (apart from the leads) was really poor and distracting though. Unless it's just as I'm a geordie in exile that made the accent just feels forced? Edited February 15, 2017 by zico martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46195 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Whoa whoa whoa, they were the first application forms that the careers centre got in at uni, and I happened to possess the intelligence levels AND winning charm to secure a job in my second year at uni, so stopped looking. At no point did I EVER want to be an accountant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Allied. Not a story about the carpet shop although that might have been better. Really obvious plot, iffy acting (although I did like Marion Cotillard) and some of the worst looking sets I've seen in a long time. Pitt and Zemekis can do so much better (although in the case of Forrest Gump, Zemeckis can do so much worse too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
