MoistVaj Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I saw This Is The End last week, although I wasn't expecting much I actually really enjoyed it, I'm not a big fan of Seth Rogen but James Franco and Danny McBride made it more than worthwhile.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 23, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2014 I quite liked it too despite hating almost everyone in it. I read somewhere they're considering a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistVaj Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm not sure it really warrants a sequel but I'd definitely give it a watch. I don't know about Franco and his standing in the acting world but he's a guilty pleasure of mine. He's got a certain charm to him which I'm sure other people would consider punchable!

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 23, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2014 I hear Chest Rockwell's a big fan of his! Â I don't know if I've seen him in anything else, to be honest. He seemed fine in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 To get any enjoyment out of James Franco you've got to believe he's in on the joke otherwise he's just a massive pretentious twat, unlikeable even by Hollywood's standards. Â I watched World War Z last night, too much stupid shit happens and it ruins the film. The zombie apocalypse is actually the most plausible part of the film.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted March 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2014 I found with WWZ, if you watch it as a global disaster movie, it's a lot more enjoyable than if you watch it as a zombie movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah, it was more to do with things that I imagine didn't translate from the book to the film that were so implausible they stretched the imagination beyond the suspension of disbelief. Stuff like nonchalant amputations and impalings having no real affects on the characters or falling out of the sky then walking, severly injured to the destination that they had no idea where to find it.

Loki Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah, I don't think any of that was in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted March 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2014 I didn't have a big problem with the film, I was just let down that it probably means there won't be a real adaptation of the book; should be a phony documentary mini-series.

children of bodom Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 If you want to cry watch dear Zachery. I'm not saying anything about the story but if you don't shred one tear your sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2014 Grand Piano is a fucking blast. The perfect B-Movie. It's basically Phone Booth, but with Elijah Wood held hostage at a concert piano. If he gets any notes wrong, HE DIES. It's the rare high-concept thriller that manages to be every bit as fun as the pitch makes you hope it is. These things never usually live up to the idea you've got in your head when you say "that sounds great." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted March 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'll keep an eye open for that one. He was excellent in the maniac remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I hear Chest Rockwell's a big fan of his! I don't know if I've seen him in anything else, to be honest. He seemed fine in this.   I've actually been warming to him since seeing this film and his roast. And despite hating him before he has actually been in a bunch of things I've enjoyed and he is a decent actor.  He is still a terrible writer and I am still appalled by the fact that he had/has a University teaching position.  But let's put it this way... he's no Shia LeBoeuf.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2014 End of "Marley and Me" does it for me. It's not a quick ending too. It goes on and on and on. Putting you through the mill. Mumzie's pal almost had a nervous breakdown watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
