I am clearly a philistine because Captain Corelli’s Mandolin bored the arse off me.
Indeed, I know grown men with grown up kids who were excited about going to watch the Barbie movie. How the f*** can that be?Same here.
You definitely get media driven mini crazes over movies. Independence Day was another one, at the time people talked in terms of it being one of the greatest movies …. it wasn’t.
obviously the Berks weren't the Messiah, just naughty boysI went to a showing of Monty Python's Holy Grail or whatever exactly it's called the other day.
Now, it's a great film. I think I've seen it all the way through once before and obviously various bits loads of times over the years.
At the start they had a load of clips of the Pythons going on about how great it was that we were all at the cinema watching the film as a communal thing in a cinema yadayadayada etc.
The absolute berks next to me then spent the whole film quoting lines to each other just before they were delivered and giggling at their own tepid and wrank and second hand "wit", like the mindless pricks they were.
Christ I hate people sometimes.

I don't mind directors being a bit free and easy with historical detail in popular films but at some points Gladiator 2 insulted our intelligence. There is an ariel view of Rome which includes the Wedding Cake which was built in the 19th Century, also someone reads a printed newspaper. Apart from that it was boringly predictable.Gladiator 2 was a very, very poor watch.
Ridley Scott is another George Lucas. Once the best in the game, now bonkers.
I thought Barbie was great. Much more entertaining than Oppenheim.Indeed, I know grown men with grown up kids who were excited about going to watch the Barbie movie. How the f*** can that be?

Probably a shit sight better than Corelli’s Mandolin!What’s Captain Pirelli’s mandarin?
Did you do the watching them back to back thing?I thought Barbie was great. Much more entertaining than Oppenheim.
Not sure Oppenheimer was supposed to be “entertaining” so you are possibly right!I thought Barbie was great. Much more entertaining than Oppenheim.
What's Oppenheim - is that a shorter version of Oppenheimer? TBF, it was pretty long and I was wondering whether my bladder would copeI thought Barbie was great. Much more entertaining than Oppenheim.
Like A Minecraft Movie, it's a film I went to watch at the cinema with trepidation, but was pleasantly surprised by it being not entirely rubbish. I managed to stay awake for the full duration of each of them, so I consider that a triumph. Moana 2, however, I saw about 20 minutes of...Indeed, I know grown men with grown up kids who were excited about going to watch the Barbie movie. How the f*** can that be?

Totally agree 2 hours of my life I won’t get backJoker: Folie à Deux.
I watched it last Saturday night on a long-haul flight. Complete and utter nonsense. Such a come-down from the previous Joker film.
Depends what type of 60 year old man you are I guess....Barbie was a guilty pleasure. I never thought a 60 year old man would go and see Barbie
Deep you say....but it was great. Far better than it had any right to be and quite deep in many ways
I would suggest you watch The Grand Budapest Hotel... that's brilliant !This. I guess I just really don't get Wes Anderson because I honestly don't think I've enjoyed any of his movies. And Asteroid City was the worse. It's all style over substance. I was waiting for it to start actually making sense, but it never did. Plus it's another of those self indulgent stories about storytelling. Utter tosh.
But it did have Scarlett Johansson with her top off. So...8 out of 10.
