Turns out it’s pretty decent when it gets going, even if the baddies are about as over-the-top evil as it gets Can she phase parts of her body at a moment?

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Watched a lot of films over the festive period so can't be bothered to go through them all but I've just watched The Old Man & The Gun earlier and it's a great final performance from Robert Redford, the cast work perfectly and it's not a bad story either.

Howmanheyman 33163 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Watched A Christmas Carol (1984 George C Scott version) on Christmas Eve, watched Where Eagles Dare a few days ago. Love them both even if they don't have any parts where people phase in and out of physical realms.

strawb 4248 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It’s hard to tell if it’s filmed as a comedy or they are both just totally stupid but it made me laugh either way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I saw the last half an hour or so of it and while it's slightly Spinal Tap-ish, I found it strangely moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21915 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Apparently they come across like a couple of real life Alan Partridges. I’m going to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I managed to watch it on a steam without the options so it just played through them all. Thought it was interesting as usual but not one of the better efforts but I'm sure I would have got more from it watching it as it was intended.

Thought it was interesting as usual but not one of the better efforts but I'm sure I would have got more from it watching it as it was intended. you did what? did that not completely ruin your enjoyment of it? without the interactive element? i was just thinking it's shown how interactive films can be monetised in in the future. it's a template other filmmakers, in partnership with streaming platforms, will follow, i'm sure. who is going to want to d/l a pirate copy and miss all the fun? other than you, obviously. i fall somewhere between gemmil and ANS. the non-linear narrative was one of the poorest there has been in black mirror. but the innovation blew me away. there is nothing like it out there. how they managed to keep the film going while you made your choice then seamlessly cut to the next piece of action is beyond me. the whole thing must have taken a shitload of code to produce. charlie brooker is one clever fucker.

Video would've been lower quality but FMV games ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_motion_video wiki if you're that interested) have been a thing since the 80s.

Alex 35077 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Sounds like one of those Fighting Fantasy or Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
