Was at a quiz where the quizmaster refused to give anyone a point who said The Matrix was directed by the Wachowski Brothers, but did accept that Sonny Liston lost his world heavyweight title to Cassius Clay.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yeah. When I asked my ex wife if I should call him my ex husband now he said that as at that time he hadn't realised/accepted he was a he I should still say ex wife and it wouldn't worry him. Also, that was a really fucking odd thing to type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted November 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2020 My parents borrowed my Amazon Prime to watch Borat 2 and turned it off at the High Class Ball part for being a bit too much. Me and my Wife watched it a few days later and turned it off just after that part, but because it was boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there’s also the car crash of the Bernie scene at the end where you’re watching it going, “What the fuck are you doing?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2020 Chappie (pirate) Neill Blomkamp is a fraud and this is absolutely terrible. Imagine putting Die Antwoord in your film and then giving them actual big roles. Nobody emerges from this with any dignity. Happiest Season (Prime rental) Lovely lesbian romcom with Kristen Stewart finally producing a performance that was actually interesting, although she's outshone by Aubrey Plaza and Mackenzie Davis. No shame there though. No real surprises, but a nice take on a genre I often like. Boss Level (pirate) Joe Carnahan tries a timeloop film but he made the mistake of putting Frank Grillo in it and Frank Grillo fucking sucks. Mel Gibson looks bored and I know how he feels. Naomi Watts and Selina Lo are excused. Probably would have been good if a better director got hold of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ah Niell Blomkamp. That brief moment in time after District 9 where he looked like he was the future of sci-fi. Shame that everything else he's done has been utter shite.

Mr_Danger Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Chappie was an unforgivably shit Johnny 5 rip off and the Matt Damon one was decent enough but so forgettable that I can’t even remember what it was called but District 9 man, great film. I still would have liked to see his Alien film. He’s taking the Richard Kelly career trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2020 Elysium was the Matt Damon one. It was decent enough at the cinema but it was really heavy handed in its moral messaging which was very offputting. Never had any desire to rewatch it.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 He's great at special effects, design, atmosphere and action but maybe he shouldn't be writing his own movies. As a more traditional director for hire rather than a wannabe Ridley Scott he would probably do quite well for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Yeah it’s mad that District 9 was never followed up on which makes me think it was a concept more than a film and he lucked out with Copley. Maybe something like a Netflix sci-fi series where he can create a world but other directors and writers can bring it to life would be more in his wheel house. Was he not involved in one of the attempted Halo live action projects at one point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 He was originally supposed to do Halo, it fell apart so he did District 9 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 Fatman (pirate) Think it was @Bellenda Carlisle who praised this a while back and yeah, I agree. A fair bit more enjoyable than I was expecting. @CleetusVanDamme favourite Walton Goggins is the MVP. A nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
