What Did You Watch Today?

Locke

It's Tom Hardy. Talking on a phone. In a car. For 90 minutes.

I loved the books too, and with Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in it, I figured it might be passable or at least slightly entertaining. It wasn't. It's also nothing like Game of Thrones, more like a worse Sorcerer's Apprentice mixed with that horrible Hansel and Gretel movie.

On a slightly related note, holy shit, how many movies was Julianne Moore in last year?! I've seen Hunger Games, Non-Stop, Seventh Son, and there's still Maps to the Stars and Still Alice. 5 movies in one year is crazy.

I guessed it wouldn't be, but this is the poster I'd seen:

My immediate reaction was just less-attractive Jaime Lannister, pre-make up Melisandre, dagger-wielding 20-something Sansa Stark, Jeff Bridges doing a Gandalf cosplay, and a really terrible dragon in the back.

Hence goth Game of Thrones.

Spanking The Monkey was pretty poor, wish I'd watched something else.

[Monkey D. Lars]

New Fist of Fury (1976), well DON"T TRY TO MAKE JACKIE CHAN BE BRUCE LEE.

[Benji]

Had it on my box for a while just for a short film to watch if I had time to waste but not enough for a full film and uh, yeah, The Three Caballeros sure was that and not much else. I got quantity over quality in tonight's films.

We're three caballeros

Three gay caballeros

They say we are birds of a feather

We're happy amigos

No matter where he goes

The one, two, and three goes

We're always together

So totally awesome is what you're saying? I have it but have not yet watched it.

[Jimmy]

I thought it was really, really good. Very clever, emotive and well done.

I'm not saying that, but I'm not saying it's bad either. It's saved by its short length. As I said in the VoD thread, it's worth watching.

[Benji]

Get Smart was amusing. Could probably have made more out of it, but it's still good.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Bad Taste (1987), the very first Peter Jackson film. One scene "the Sick Bowl" made me turn my stomach around. First time that ever happened. Also:

Classic!

Taken 3

Decent enough, but Taken really should have been a one-film franchise.

[Benjamin]

I would also have accepted it being a no-film franchise.

[LL!]

That is not what franchise means, guys.

[Arjen Robben]

Watched Inherent Vice this morning, dug it.

[zero]

As Above, So Below

Cool mythology, great setting, couple solid scares, not a bad horror flick.

[Ant]

I would also have accepted it being a no-film franchise.

You hate fun

[Benjamin]

Or maybe I don't like something you do. Won't that be a surprise!

[Ant]

Wow. Way to make a mountain out of a molehill

[Benji]

Or maybe I don't like something you do. Won't that be a surprise!

The irony of you saying that in response to anyone amuses me
