RandomGuy. Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Cant wait to see Mad Max, can't wait to see Jurassic World either. On an unrelated note, I cannot stand all female comedies. The likes of bridesmaids and pitch perfect, while having the odd funny moment, just annoyed the absolute f**k out of me. That Melissa McCarthy genuinely deserves to die, and its a disgrace she'll be a main star in a ghostbusters movie, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that people think that what they churn out is thought of by someone as funny is just embarrassing. I haven't seen either "Pitch Perfect" but I can tell that the obese character in it will make me want to claw off my ears. That "Spy" looks like it deserves to be burned and never witnessed by anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So because you don't find it funny, the fact that others do is embarrassing? Really? I think hes more on about the "comedian". Like its pretty embarrassing Adam Sandler genuinely thought anyone would find Jack and Jill funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like its pretty embarrassing Adam Sandler genuinely thought anyone would find Jack and Jill funny. That makes just as little sense though. Not sure why they should feel embarrassed for thinking people would find it funny when people actually DO find it funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just the 30 left to watch As I said in January, I'm very jealous of some of the first watches you're about to have. That 30 contains some of my favourite films ever, including two of my top 3. Lap them up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pitch Perfect 2 - 7/10 Nothing groundbreaking, but great for what it is. Just as good as the original IMO. Aca-amazing. Seeing Mad Max on Wednesday, I guess that'll be a dramatic change in tone. Properly buzzing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Comparing Bridesmaids to Pitch Perfect? Get out of the movie thread, RandomGuy. Do not return until you have written a 1000 word apology. Or something. I think Pitch Perfect will end up being a bit of a cult movie, probably the 10s answer to Mean Girls. I'm not a huge comedy fan - certainly not the slapstick stuff we're subjected to by the likes of Kevin James - but I think Pitch Perfect is quite a few steps up from that. Funny, easy to watch, Anna Kendrick... what's not to like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Chef 7/10 Trailing through netflix and came across it. Remember seeing a trailer a while ago but we didn't bother going to see it. Actually quite enjoyed it. It's a bit obvious tho that John Favreau is the writer and director when you see his ex wife is Sofia Vergara and his new squeeze is Scarlett Johansson. Both Cameos from Robert Downey Jr and Dustin Hoffman aswell. Edited May 19, 2015 by PrestersKTID 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 At times, yes. It may be harsh and I know humour's subjective but I really just can't understand anyone finding some of them remotely funny One of the worst posts ever on P&B right here. "If I don't find it funny, it's not funny" is far more embarrassing than what you'd said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Reading on IMDB and the comments section of It Follows seems to be largely in agreement that The Babadook is similar but a lot better. Now I've never seen The Babadook but wasn't massively impressed with the trailers. Should I watch it? It Follows was one of the best horrors I've seen in years! Forget the relation with It Follows: is it any good in general? FWIW I thought The Babadook was brilliant, It Follows very average. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Midnight Cowboy- 7/10. A couple of those points are purely for Dustin Hoffman though. For some reason I've only seen a couple of his films but I'll have to work my way through some more, he's brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught the back end of Outbreak the other night, and that's well overdue another viewing. Probably considered one of his more lowbrow films, but an absolute corker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I've only seen a couple of his films but I'll have to work my way through some more, he's brilliant. I'd recommend Marathon Man, Straight Time and Little Big Man, among others. Hoffman is a superb actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Downtown '81 A bit of a strange one this, made in 1981 but not actually released until 2000, this is a day in the life of the artist Jean Michel Basquiat. No real plot as such, he just wanders around the arty farty scene in New York checking out graffiti artists, rappers and punk bands. Very low budget and some of the acting is pretty poor though it's kinda hip and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't particularly recommend it though as it's probably too avant garde and out there for most people. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is superb in this and portrays his character perfectly as his sanity depletes rapidly. A must see. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
