I hope his acting is still as over the top and crap as it was in Karate Kid 3

I started Alice in Borderland yesterday. 3 friends in Tokyo walk out of a train station bathroom to find everyone else has disappeared and while trying to figure out what happened they're pulled into a series of games where they either clear them, or die.

Two eps in and it's weird, but enjoyable. I'm wondering how long the premise remains interesting for. But so far so good.

The first season is 8 episodes - I had similar concerns to yourself at first, but was pleasantly surprised at how things developed.

There has been a teaser for S2 but no official confirmation/announcement nor date. I'm hoping we get more of it, I'd like to see where it goes.

Gadgetman496 · 28-05-2021 02:29PM

It's a remake of Alice in Borderlands (2014) I think

I just watched episode 3 and it took a turn I wasn't expecting. Definitely not following the formulaic path I thought it would.

Based on a manga but didn't realise there was an anime.
Might have a look for it though may just wait for more of the live action version as really liked it

Watched Army of the Dead on the basis of the somewhat positive comments here. What absolute rubbish. Way too long, terrible predictable story and weak acting.

RocketRaccoon · 29-05-2021 08:20PM

Lads, army of the dead is a zombie heist movie. Were people expecting Citizen Kane or what?

Ep 3 was one of the biggest WTF moments I've had. It becomes almost a different programme later on but still very good

Something can be a piece of entertainment and still a good film, they're not mutually exclusive. I found AotD to be a slog that I kept watching in the hopes it might pick up but it just didn't. The characters were dull and paper thin, the plot was full of holes and the attempt to make zombies "more interesting" was imo daft and actually took away what makes zombies scary which is there mindless relentlessness. The actual heist as well was crap and was over within 10/15 minutes of a 2 and a half hour movie.

I only have myself to blame for the watching the whole thing but I honestly don't think my expectations being too high was the problem.

johnny_ultimate · 29-05-2021 10:27PM

Being a ‘dumb fun’ film is no excuse for being a badly
made film. Plenty of silly, absurd movies that are tremendously well made on their own terms.

And it’s not like a zombie film can’t be damn good: Dawn of the Dead (Romero) is a genuine masterpiece of cinema, and Train To Busan is one of the most purely entertaining films of the last few years.

Heck, One Cut of the Dead is on Film4 late tonight and then the All4 player... now *that* (while arguably not really a zombie film in the traditional sense) is a tremendously fun film, and no excuses have to be made for it whatsoever.

It was an unbelievably stupid movie. Acting awful. Characters nobody could give a shít about.
That bit where the girl confesses her feelings for dave batista's character has to be one of the most embarrassing movie moments in history!
A terrible terrible movie.
Why not make a good zombie heist movie instead?

marklazarcovic · 30-05-2021 03:55AM

I liked army of the dead,I didn't take it seriously.

I knew exactly what I was getting into - a mindless zombie action movie. But it didn't deliver on anything. It wasn't fun, there were no memorable action scenes and overall surprisingly boring. How can you make a 2.5 hour heist movie with zombies boring?! Could have easily cut the first 30 minutes of the movie and you wouldn't have missed anything.

I find it near impossible to watch any comedians anymore as the switch the camera angle ever 10 seconds and it is incredibly jarring

James Acasters reetpire special with numerous shows all linked and Bert Kreischer’s 3 specials are both absolutely fantastic and made me howl with laughter. James is very dry and is an expert in crazy and zany storytelling. He had a the audience eating out of his hand. Bert Kreischer is a big personality and bases hush shows on hilarious family events. His crafting of jokes and his boisterous attitude means his jokes always hit the mark. Reported that he based the character Van Wilder on his long stay in university but his script was gazumped by the studio. His sketch about accidentally joining the Russian mafia was one of the best performances I’ve seen. The fact that all of it was verified as true by his classmates made it even funnier.

Went looking for this on Netflix and couldn't find it.

Anyone else?

Gutted as Make Happy was incredible.

EDIT: Hmm.. on my phone but not Shield. I'll dig into it.

S.M.B. · 31-05-2021 07:31PM

I have never watched a single Bo Burnham show / special but I have only heard good things.

I did like Eight Grade though.

Now wondering if I should go back and look at what and make happy before checking out inside?

Basq · 31-05-2021 07:34PM

^ Having not watched 'Inside' yet.

Maybe start with 'Make Happy'.. it's very theatrical and extravagant as opposed to 'what' (but that's brilliant too).

Helluva talented lad!

Mr.Wemmick · 31-05-2021 07:57PM

Ragnarok is really good. I'm on the 2nd series. It's well-written with a good cast.

I think series 2 is better than 1, and that was very good as a stand alone series.
