Last Movie You Watched

[LastSonofKrypton]

The script however... some of the dialogue is painful to listen to

Like literally every James Cameron film?

The majority of his scriptwriting dialogue is pretty solid. But he does have a habit for cheesy dialogue at times

Titanic is the most guilty out of all his works

I still love the movie, but as a writer myself, I can't help but feel that 60-65% of Jack and Rose's dialogue needed a good polishing

I've just watched Netflix's LIFT. I think it was a comedy but didn't spot any jokes. Vincent D'Onofrio pretty much remained seated in funny costumes for most of it. Predictable plot. I got a bit sleepy near the end.

Poor Things

This finally arrived near me, and it's f**king incredible. Easily the funniest movie of 2023.

Watched Akira again for the first time in probably 20 years. Is it just meant to be a more violent 2001?

Yes. Please do.

Tetsuo evolves into a higher lifeform at the end like Dave does when he goes through the stargate.

Did you introduce her to STTMP yet?

[SM]

Be good getting her settle after too much red cordial.

I feel like some other things happened in those movies though?

[SM]

Yes obviously.  That ultimately led up to the main characters evolving into a higher lifeform.

I was just asking a question.  I like Akira - but I've never had an inkling to what it's trying to say (beyond trying to control very destructive things as a nuclear power allegory) until I watched it again the other night.

She's seen all the Star Wars films and TV series (except Andor which she'd find a bit too slow paced).

Wonka
Outstanding film. Was a pleasant surprise this film is. Tim Chamalet is a fantastic lead and just oozes that right about of charm, wit, big eyed wonder and part-psychopath to do the role of Wonka justice. Great songs. A lot of heart and some great laughs too. The supporting cast are great too. Fantastic seeing Bob Fossil (from Mighty Boosh) in this.

STTMP is Star Trek The Motion Picture.
