Alex 34094 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I did make it very clear I didn't know I thought you must've been off to google it when you told us not to. I have since and there appears to be no definitive answer anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34094 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As an aside, in the Observer (again) at the weekend, the film review bit mentioned that Swallows and Amazons didn't reflect the culturally diverse country we have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5127 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Swallows and Amazons is set roughly when? early 1900s? You do have to wonder at the Guardian/Observer. They're so far up their own arse with PC culture that they've lost sight of reality somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it based on a family of Syrians from Aleppo? Edit; They were Armenian, the Altounyan family, lived in Aleppo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallows_and_Amazons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4438 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Been having a junk spree over the last few nights watching the Xmen / Wolverine series. Surprisingly quite enjoyed them although my heads spinning at the back and forth through time and consistency issues. One film in particular where Wolverine makes a cameo and his only words are fuck off, was quite funny. Currently upto the one with all the Japs. They always make sneaky villains and I do get bored with fucking ninjas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Reynolds played one iteration in Wolverine: Origins, but the studio fucked up the character in the latter stages of the movie. You might like Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy as well. They're lighter in tone than the other Marvel movies, plenty of gags and the storylines are fairly self contained so you don't need to have seen all the movies in order to understand them.

Aye that's fair enough, with the rape, murder and torture it's definitely not in-keeping with the lighter tone Marvel stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I got a bit bored of Daredevil in the second season. Only managed about four episodes after enjoying the first. It's put Jessica Jones further down my list of shows to watch. Watched Timecrimes the other night. Canny film with a lot of similarities to Primer I thought. Watched a film called Edmond last night with William H Macey in. Very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5127 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Other countries are getting in on the superhero act! The Chinese have contributed Pancake Man. Box office hit in China apparently. The Russians also have some guy who turns into a giant bear and fires a minigun https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2016/aug/25/marvel-russian-chinese-indian-film-makers-chakra-invincible-pancake-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the Punisher story much more interesting than the Elektra stuff, but the fight scenes vs the Hand were choreographed beautifully at times. Glad Bernthal is getting his own Punisher show as there's loads of fun to be had with Frank Castle in the reality that Marvel is building on Netflix. Also looking forward to this, if only for the soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit my bias, really like the Punisher comics and have never been overly fussed by Elektra's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really get far with Electra. I didn't have anything particularly against The Punisher, I just wasn't as into the story as I was with Fisk.

D'Onofrio was/is excellent as Fisk and I think that's why I enjoyed the 1st season more than the second. I couldn't give much of a shit about Nobu & the Hand. Their threat is too vague at the minute. I expected Black Sky to be some superpowered person, but it's just Elektra being a ninja and her immortality (or rather her resurrectability).
