I knew there was something in the deepest recesses of my mind that told where they got the Eurovision inspiration for this;

Here the writer tells about where the song originates from in the current movie - but I think your idea is just as plausible!:

Agree 1 and 2 were outstanding. I've held back on 3 as heard mixed reviews, what did you think of it?

Just finished them all. In all 3 internal night shots are underlit. Barely recognisable faces bobbing about amidst ghostly light bulbs.. Not a patch on Breaking Bad. Id rate it7/10. 3 was my fav, 2 the least.

[longball53098]

Watched this movie last night. An epic tale of heroism and also how dumb the military can be,,,,,,,,,,,all the top brass who allowed this tragedy to happen should be in prison. I am writing about "The Outpost". Not sure what happened to my post and missed saying what movie

I can't praise this one highly enough.

I consider it a "must see" particularly for Americans.

Outcry - this one looks interesting.

Episode 1 was good.

All 5 available now.

 

Summary: OUTCRY examines the gripping story of high school football star Greg Kelley, his controversial conviction and the quest for truth and justice as the case unfolds.

Just looks like a replay of the civil rights movement including racist idiots like Malcolm X, does it improve if you watch it on one knee? Surely Americans know all about this, it gets repeated often enough- black, innocent victims, white, evil racists.

Steven Seagal is a great actor and deserves an Oscar for his oeuvre.

It requires great acting skills to use the same facial expression for every possible emotion.

Robert de Niro, eat that!

Also Steven's 'reverse Charly Chaplin walk' using the upper part of his body, deserves him a star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

watched the trailer ,that was enough thanks. why dont they make a movie about the African slave trade or how the Muslims were the ones who sold the slaves to the Americans and British all those years ago. Oh and by the way ,i had a black partner in Business many years ago ,he did well ,now has a lovely big house ,he didnt keep going on about how hard done by the black people were,just got on with his life .

To be honest i am sick of hearing all the moaning from various groups about "how bad they have it" i have 2 gay cousins ,one male one female and a gay nephew,they dont constantly go on and on ,nobody has ever had a go at them ,i have also worked with black guys ,who also just get on with their lives ,but dont sit around on the social or keep shouting how racist we all are ,so people get on with them,just like my gay cousins or friends dont dress up in silly clothes and parade around draped in a rainbow flag. and my black friends dont get down on their bloody knees. 

just get on with life.

At the end of 3 the audience knows the solution to the case, but the protagonist doesn't.  Just ef.ing brilliant IMO.  No spoiler.

 

As for 2, Colin Farrell is in it.

I don't like to walk out of movies.  Then I went to see Alexander (2004).  It was painful, I won't go into detail because Farrell probably has fans here.  The best part was at 6pm they stopped the movie and we had to stand for the King's anthem -- I really appreciated that.  But I stayed to the end, and still today whenever I see his face I'm reminded of the pain I experienced that day.  He should marry Kristen Stewart.  When I saw "Roman J. Israel, Esq." I had to avert my gaze from the screen when he was on (BTW, the movie itself is not great but Denzel is, especially if you remember characters like he is supposed to be).

And I've changed my attitude about walking out on movies.

 

Just saw Hitchcock's "Notorious" a few nights ago, thumbs up!

Seagal comes from the Easter Island school of acting.

Watch the show first before ranting about your false assumptions about what it's about. 

Or don't watch it.

The title saves normal folks to not watch. Like Gay propaganda. We the majority dont give a Rats Ass. Black or White.

Michael McIntyre - stand up comedian.

Three of his DVD's are:-

Michael McIntyre - Happy & Glorious (2015)
Michael McIntyre - Hello Wembley (2009)
Michael McIntyre - Live & Laughing (2008)

He has a series of:-  Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow

Also lots of other stuff.

 

And now he's doing a regular "Saturday night at the London palladium" type show called :- Michael McIntyres Big Show.

Just watched all 5 episodes, excellent and I thought the Thai justice system was bad! Thanks for mentioning it, worth watchng if only to see his incredible girl friend.

Has this been mentioned yet? Don't let her being a fat lying lesbian put you off, nobody comes out of her story well, about abortion rights, AKA Jane Roe

I think the discussion was about Fargo. I liked only the first season of that.

 

True Detective, liked 3 also, but I think not enough shootin' 'n' dirt 'n' stuff for most members here. Focuses more on character, lot of good in that, too. Plot was convoluted but finally does come together amazingly well, leaves you thinking about the colossal irony.

Live and Let Die. Had to watch it again in this age of hyper-political correctness. The over-the-top racism and stereotyping makes me wonder if/when it's going to get the same treatment that Gone With The Wind just received. Clifton James' acting as Sheriff Pepper is the epitome of the stereotypical Louisiana redneck. The only movie that comes to mind as being even more politically incorrect when viewed through the lens of today's sensitivities is Blazing Saddles. ????

Recently watched this movie that I seem to have missed first time round:- The Beast of War (1988)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094716/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

 

This is one of the best war-movies I have ever seen. Even if it hasn't a lot of action in it, it is still very intense. I think that the director has managed superbly to illustrate the torments of war, especially how it was - and still is - to be a member of a tank-crew on a mission in a foreign coutry. All the actors are doing a fine job and the place for shooting this movie is well chosen. And I must say that I especially appreciate the camera-movements along the tank that makes one understand the power that they contain.

 

Available with subs from RARBG and other places.

Bear in mind the time that movie was made, the "blaxpoitation" thing was just taking off and Hollywood was looking to cash in.  I can't think of L&LD without remembering the Mad magazine take on it.  I just saw Watermelon Man again recently, some good irony and some silly humor, but no happy ending.  Some other movies I can think of that set the pace, before the 1970s trash movies came along (like Blackula) are Cotton Comes to Harlem, Superfly, and Shaft, all made by black directors.

Eddie Murphy recently put out a movie about a guy who made such movies Dolemite Is My Name , haven't seen it myself.

That would be a worse nightmare -wouldn't it--to be accused of being a kidy fiddler, you just have to look at the reaction on here, hanging /Castration/ Hopping he gets raped in jail.. And all that is before the police even decide whether to charge him or not.

 

I stopped playing football (soccer) in the mid 90s in Oz, and they asked me would I like to help train the tot teams--- 6-9  or 9-11 Y/olds Girls were also being included now.

 

At the time a bitter solo mum of 3 kids in another state, had been dumped by her boyfriend ----& had put a compliant in, Persuading one of the kids to say she was touched. Same sort of reaction...everyone had an idea what should happen to him. In the end the kid broke down told the truth--- End of it all was he lost his job (fixed home appliances)      The mother--nothing happened.

 

Me Training a team, I wouldn't even go watch them --case someone got the wrong idea.

Triggered by a memory, I watched Shaft again a couple years ago and realized what a bad movie it really was, all considered. What saved it was the immortal theme from Isaac Hayes. ????
