Film - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

ive never seen a guy ritchie. but rise of the footsoldier is a million times better.

Wow, so, that must be in the low millions of stars then, rating-wise.

Lock, Stock..., the Sherlock Holmes films and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword are pretty fun.

it's pretty UK centric

but who gives a shit about the rest of the world?

one of the best films, EVER

combines so many UK obsessions: footie hooliganism, drugs, violence, etc.,

plus Motorhead on the soundtrack at 1:46 in this clip:


Rise of the Footsoldier - Hooligan setup

"speak English you cunts!"

"come on!"

the treatment - decades ahead of the curve with the surgical masks, etc.,

edit: full disclosure, my brother was Millwall, so maybe a bit of bias about trendsetting on my part...

This comment under the bit when they get shotgunned in the Range Rover.

Terry stones wig is so strong it even stayed on during a shotgun to the head. The force would of been like a hurricane wind and wet from the blood. I think we can all tell that is a Morrie edition wig right there.

It's been intriguing to watch this Barbie - Oppenheimer thing play out. Obviously it's not entirely organic, but there does seem to be a certain serendipity to how they've slotted together. I doubt anyone would have had the pairing in mind.

I have no idea why people are so excited about 'Barbie', it looks pretty shit to me from the trailer.

I was in my drawing class last night and numerous people were talking about how excited they were to see it. The two most excited were gay/had "They"pronouns so maybe it's the camp aspect?

 

[version]

It looks fun, but that's a big part of it, yeah. If you look at how people talk about it on Letterboxd there's a lot of campy comments about serving cunt, things being iconic, kenergy, and the like. It makes sense for what seems a self-aware Barbie rather than one aimed squarely at kids.

 

[Corpsey]

Serving cunt?

Looks like a Lego movie retread to me

If it's as good as the Lego movie i'll eat my smooth plastic crotch

Serving cunt?

Similar sentiment to "slay" or calling someone a "bad bitch".

I think it is, but camp and with an explicitly feminist angle.

 

[Clinamenic]

Also because Greta Gerwig is behind it, it likely has some other layer of self-aware commentary about gender roles and whatnot.

Capitalism cloaked in irony

We need real films like Master and Commander and the prestige

You going to see Oppenheimer then?

 

[Corpsey]

Definitely would like to see an atomic bomb explode on a massive screen

Michael Mann's new thing should be out soon.

I'm just glad the superhero stuff's finally being kicked aside. I'd much rather films like Barbie, Oppenheimer and the new Mission: Impossible take centre stage than more DC and Marvel.
