zep81 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 "A man (Gong Yoo), his estranged daughter and other passengers become trapped on a speeding train during a zombie outbreak in South Korea." Sublime. Just sublime. The movie makes smart use of the cramped quarters of the train, which of course for most of the fun time, is where the action is centred. Filled with Suspense, drama, and tension throughout and is filled with characters you can gravitate towards and against. Some emotional stuff here too and it keeps you glued and guessing. Terrific.

GOTG and Avengers are such male-heavy casts, so it seems to cancel their bile. I assume most just see a female lead and decide it's some evil anti-male feminist campaign. It makes it all the more delightful when the likes of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel do so well at the box office because it effectively shows how impotent those unfuckable white dudes are. Not just sexism though, racism too. The sheer bile coming out about Black Panther and the "lack of a diverse cast" was beautifully converted into alt-right tears by the massive box office numbers it did.

Mr_Danger Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 To be fair it's not been all hatred and bile towards Captain Marvel. I hear Ben Mendelsohn, Samuel L. and the (presumably male) cat have were all positively received..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewster McCloud Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Wait a minute... superhero fanboys are actually getting their panties in a bunch about... erm, what exactly? This is all new to me. Caped crusaders should be more black, more white, more female, more gay? Or less so? My mind is boggled, educate me. What are the mongoloids up in arms about?

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2019 Manbabies are complaining that Captain Marvel is feminist anti-male propaganda, and the media are idiots are amplify their position because it generates clicks, rather than ignoring them as they rightly deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â To be fair, that movie has deserved to do so much better then it has. Though I hate this sub culture of "fans" trying to mess about with rival films so the one that want to do better at the box office does. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sorry for the double post, but this is fucking awesome. It's only a short film disguised as a trailer, but it looks brilliant. I know there are some on here who'd hate the idea, but it's so well-executed, I would be very much intrigued as to how it went.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2019 I saw that earlier this week. I really like it and it's really well made but I doubt I would be interested to actually watch the show if it was real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I believe this was Jackie's big breakthrough and it's a very enjoyable one and one of his early best. Directed by the great Yuen Woo Ping, it features some great fight choreography and the usual humour of these early Chan Kung Fu movies. Chan is just so likeable and his skills are just impeccably tailored to any style he puts hi Edited March 15, 2019 by zep81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Triple Frontier was decent enough. I think it could have done with a few extra shoot outs/set pieces but there was enough there for me to stay invested. Hunnam manages to sound less American the longer he spends over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
