Last Movie Watched

I Still forget the rear Andy is the same guy who played the kid that gave Shaun so much shit at his job.

I also forget that, but I knew he had a kinda minor role. I also admit I confuse him at times with Vigilante on Peacemaker. Not because they look the same as much as I just mix some of their filmographies.

Over the weekend, my wife was at a Girl Scout Camp overnight thing with my daughter. This gave me free reign of the TV. I started watching The Worlds End when my 13 year old sat with me. It was kinda late and I was gonna get him to bed, but decided heck it, and let him watch. He absolutely loved it. I mean, it may be his favorite movie now. He was picking out stuff I haven't ever noticed in it (the same guy is playing the arcade machine in each pub). Sunday we watched Shaun of the Dead, and he loved that as well. Soon we will watch Hot Fuzz (my personal favorite), and then just have to watch them all again.

It's terribly sad - we probably all know/know of at least one Gary* who never achieved their potential and just faded away - but so hilarious with it, and I just adore that the events of the film are basically revealed in Gary's opening monologue. Meeting the dealer/Rev Green, then losing Ollie, Sam tagging along for a bit, Pete getting left behind after The Beehive, history repeats itself beautifully. Plus all the stuff with the pub names (The Old Familiar being exactly the same as the previous pub, The Famous Cock being where Gary is barred, The Mermaid where they meet the 'sirens'), it's a low key work of genius.


* For me it was a kid called Mark, a friend from Junior High who lived in the tower block next to my nan. About 8 years ago, I was working in a tall building from where I could see my nan's block from a couple of miles away and offhand mentioned to a workmate my nan used to live there. She then said a friend of hers lived in the one next to it, just below the top. We chatted about the views and then she mentioned that the only problem was the guy upstairs was a terrible neighbour, always drunk and playing music obnoxiously loud all hours of the day. Then one day it stopped for good, and a month later someone on that floor noticed the smell. I mentioned I had a friend who lived in that flat back in the day, she asked his name and looked aghast when I told her. The inquest ruled he pretty much just drank his life away.

I dunno, I hadn't seen him in 30 years but knowing that's how it ended for that kid - the only kid - I used to play GI Joes with, man it hit me hard.
 
Watched Prometheus yesterday, Covenant this morning, and went ahead and rewatched Romulus tonight before the new episode of Earth. My official ranking:

1: Alien
2a: Aliens
2b: Romulus
4: Prometheus
5: Covenant
6: Resurrection
7: Alien 3
8: AVP
.

9: AVP: Requiem

I like Romulus a lot. And I liked Resurrection a lot more than I was probably supposed to. The Prometheus movies are undeniably "better" but Resurrection is a fun time with a great cast.
 
Except for Romulus, which I would wedge between 6 and 7, (and the fact I never bothered to watch Requiem :sneaky:) I would have the same ranking.

Looking forward to Earth once all the episodes are released--especially now that I know Ade Edmondson is in the cast. Up Scumbag!!!
 
The best thing about Resurrection is the director made Amélie to cleanse himself of the experience.

But it did have a great cast and some neat ideas.
 
After reading some people's thoughts on Weapons here, I may have to leave this forum.

IMO, someone (everyone) should have posted a PSA telling everyone else NOT to waste their money and time on it. Failure to do so should result in you stabbing yourself in the face with a fork a bunch of times. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Now excuse me while I watch a better movie as a palette cleanser. Maybe Battlefield Earth.
 
My 8 and 5 year olds are into playing Batman with my McFarlane movie figures. They love Poison Ivy, Batgirl, Mr. Freeze and the animated Harley and DKR Catwoman. They ask me every day to play figures with them....they love when I do the voices.

Anyway, movies. I was looking for some clips to show them from Batman and Robin, the most corny, cartoonish of all the Batman movies and it features one of their favorites, Poison Ivy. I was looking at various clips and I'll be damed if the dialogue that me and my two children dream up on the spot in our basement isn't the exact same quality as that of the big-budget Hollywood movie that someone was allegedly paid to write. How do we get that job?

Haven’t seen Weapons yet but it’s reminding me of the hype for Barbarian, which I was disappointed in (loved the first half, hated the second). I am a bit hesitant to see Weapons since it’s also a Cregger film. Presuming you saw it, did you like Barbarian?

I can never tell anymore if I'm getting Fitzed or not.

I haven't seen Barbarian. It was kinda/sorta on my list but low priority. Now it a "No" priority.

I know of one Gary...and I do hang out with him still from time to time.

Anyways...I agree with your last statement 1000000x. I will watch it and find something I never saw before that hints at something else. What got my son hooked was in the opening, when they sat on the hill I told him to watch the sky. He asked what that was, and I told him he would just have to watch and find out. Like I said, he pointed out a couple of things I never noticed and I was amazed. I still love watching Andy in the booth after the bathroom fight. You think he's reacting to what is being said around him, but he's just coming to terms in his own head about what he's going to have to do to survive the night. The groan after each shot is sad, but the "Drink up, lets boo boo" gets me hyped for all that is to come.

Not in this case. I really couldn't stand the movie at all. If I was watching at home, I wouldn't have finished it, but since I paid and had popcorn, I stayed. Obviously the last sentence was a joke.

SPOILER ON A NEARLY 3 WEEK OLD MOVIE.

Biggest part that bothered me is 1 kid doesn't dissapear. Same kid is suddenly buying the canned food and grocieries because his parents can't move and he has to feed all the kids. Since all the kids disappeared at the same time, there is zero chance the one child surviver, suddenly buying food on his own, and in large amounts, isn't noticed by the store owner, or the cops. Especially in the early days of the mass disapearance. The cops would be watching him like a hawk just to be sure he didn't disappear as well. Come on.

And was the old lady a witch or were the twigs magical? How was the kid able to do it if she was a witch? ah... bloodline and boys can be witches too. Zero training required on controlling others. He just "knew".

Plus it was a good 30 minutes before anything happened. Slow burn is cool, but this was just slow.

Was the kid cleaning all the piss and shit for his parents and all the kids in the basement? If not, the pure reek of it would tell the neighbors.

There's more, but I've rambled enough.
