Popular Post xylophone Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 I downloaded and watched the movie, "Men" last night and found it intriguing, mystifying and a little scary, and didn't really know what to make about the ending, although with certain graphic scenes, I think I've gotten somewhere near the meaning of it. Rory Kinnear was absolutely brilliant in it and the only thing I will give away is that he plays several roles in it. Over to you to be the judge of the movie. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that to the producer of this movie is the same one who produced "Annihilation", which I thought was a very good movie, and you will notice a similarity in what happens to one of the guys later on in the piece – – not saying any more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory, son of satirist, actor and political commentator, Roy makes a good villain but he's also very funny in the comedy series Count Arthur Strong. Some episodes are the best comedy on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 The Offer. It’s about the making of the first movie of The Godfather. In the vernacular of the time and place of the movie, it stinks. It’s ten hours of made-for-TV quality, as bad as some of the US television movies from the 1970s. What kept me watching was to see how certain historical events of the time were depicted (murders, scandals etc). Also it was the first time I got to see Juno Temple play an adult part; she is so funny looking it’s attractive, and I kept thinking of all the disgusting things I’d like to do with her. Robert Evans, the larger-than-life producer depicted wrote an autobiography called “The Kid Stays in the Picture.” I think it’s the only movie biz book I ever read. For some years nearly every Hollywood memoir published was compared to it by reviewers, which is what led me to pick it up. Evans himself said after the movie was done Coppola hated his guts, but in this teevee schlock they are smiling buddies. I assume cleaning this up, and a bunch of other stuff, has something to with Paramount producing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they cast Maggie as a Caribbean woman? I downloaded a sherwood but it turned out to be a cartoon series so will have another try.

My dad was a miner for 40 years and he said he never saw a black person in the mines, so I hope they got that right at least. TPB has all the episodes from it---no as usual they BBC couldn't help themselves as far as the casting went they put a black miner & family in Daughter falls in love with one of the main white police actors. Its all well acted--now being touted as best drama of the year-(1 I think it maybe could have been put into 4 episodes instead of 6 ---but there was a lot of stuff there that had me looking at Google after. You have to have a certain amount of fiction in a Doco drama --so when they started about on about putting Police into different communities taking dead children's names for Identity, & basically stirring up trouble I thought it may be stretching it a bit-- but it wasn't. From 1968 to 2008 the Met police special unit was doing this all over the place. I expect the police to put under cover guys into criminal gangs---even into a mosque if its over the top radical, Just dont expect them to put 5 into a small community where some of the guys just thought they should be paid a few quid more for what is a dangerous dirty & thankless job, while the coal board managers were on £1,000s a week. I was looking at some of the names (18 pages ) of police they had put into different groups around the country. Some still they wont ID just a code Number--- Called "The SDS" it was a covert unit:... but have a look you may have known someone. But for the Met police that wasn't enough--so they then set up the NPOIU . This wasn't to infiltrate dissident groups , this was to start the groups up....It really reads like John Le Carre fiction. One really radical group they started was the Animal rights-- this attracted loons from all over the country , ending up with burning down Battery hen places, bomb a cosmetic place that used rabbit to test . You could make the argument that they never would have met if the MET police didn't start up a group for them, & many others.

xylophone Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I came across a movie which was made in 2016, so decided to download it and watch it! The movie is called "Swiss Army Man" and stars Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, and despite the fact it was given a 6.9 rating on IMDb, I found it to be tedious/boring and a complete waste of time so I switched it off after about 15 minutes or so. View at your own discretion, especially if you like "farting scenes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
