Not exactly how I'd describe someone who is evidently on the autistic spectrum. His mother has openly admitted although he was never tested, he displays all the same traits as his father who suffered from Asperger's. Honnold himself admits he should have been diagnosed as a youngster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely but there are times where it seems like he won't consider his girlfriend's feelings on matters, even if that isn't true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The Hobbit 1. A fantasy adventure about a quest to a lost kingdom to reclaim gold from a dragon. Nowhere near as good as LOTR but decent enough. They should have toned down the CGI and the dwarfs' terrible regional British accents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, thanks for that. Fire alarm went off 45 minutes in when I saw this at silverburn and it was going to be an hour before it started back, so we went home. Ya fanny- that was a plot twist in the film and all cinemas had to follow the ‘fire alarm’ bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Destroyer (1943) WWII flag-waver starring Edward G Robinson as Steve "boley" Boleslavski, a retired US Navy officer now working in shipyards. On hearing that his old battleship, the John Paul Jones has been sunk by the Japanese, a new one is commissioned, built & Boley pleads to serve in the Navy again. Desperate to prove himself, he is back on board where he starts annoying the young crew with his over enthusiasm & old school ways. Glenn Ford & Edward G clash as they compete for each other's Navy rank & also Boley's daughter. A great movie, it may well leave you with a tear in your eye. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ad AstraGenuinely one of the dullest movies I’ve ever watched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Roman Holiday Been meaning to watch some old classics and this seemed the light hearted thing I needed last night. Some creepiness by today's standards, but what a film otherwise! Not really much to say specifically, it just has that feel and quality that bona fide classics have. Some really rough editing loses a couple of marks, and I hate rating them anyway, but 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that could just mean that she was expecting it to be the worst accent of all time, and it was only the second worst (after Dick Van Dyke). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If I haven't said so before, and I probably have, I'll say it again - I really like the film Office Space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Alpha: The Right to Kill A propaganda piece backing the Duterte war on drugs in the Philiphines. You can almost feel the boot on the director's neck as he films the documentary style film about a raid on a drug baron where money goes missing. It's well shot but left a foul taste in my mouth. 4/10 Edited August 5, 2020 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Out Of Sight (1998) I've been revisiting a lot films of recently - particularly stuff from the 80s and 90s and was pleased to see this pop up on Netflix again. At the time of release lots was made of the chemistry between Clooney and Lopez and tbh along with Soderbergh's whole visual style they make it an incredibly watchable. It's just a great film. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's decent. Have you seen Extract made by the same director, set in a flavour extract bottling plant with Jason Bateman? That's enjoyable also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
