    Thanks. No better source than Brooker himself.

    I found it too slow. Apart from Cumberbatchs performance and the cinematography I fail to see how it can be nominated for an Oscar for Best Film.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 24,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭TICKLE_ME_ELMO


    Respectfully, I disagree. It's slow but there's an awful lot happening at the same time. Again it's one of those films that just won't be everyone's cup of tea, which is fine, but out of the handful of nominees I've seen it's definitely a front runner for me.

    Oh is that actually a Wu Assassins movie? I noticed all the actors seemed to be in it in the trailer but thought it was a coincidence. Enjoyed that show well enough so might give that a look.

    I watched this on Film4. It’s a pretty good film, but brutally violent. Can’t remember if it was based on a true story?? If so it’s shocking to see what can happen to a somewhat normal fella who is sent to prison. The GOT guy is pretty good in it. A very good movie.

    I don't believe it is based on a true story though the character of The Beast is based on a real life white supremacist called stephen cingel. Hard to believe the guy playing him is the same guy who played Bill Tench in Mindhunter.

    Yeah KingSlayer has some good movies. Small Crimes is another good movie with him in the lead. Its on Netflix:

    What is Wu Assassins? I had heard the name but I thought it was one of those shows that's mad popular, set back in feudal China, where everyone has long hair and flowing robes. But the Fistful of Vengeance trailer is clearly not that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,285 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    It is set in modern day. About a guy chosen as the last Wu Assassin. I watched it when it was first released. I'll probably watch it again before watching the movie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,285 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    well that was 90 minutes of light-hearted joy and fun. 😁 Seriously though, a really tight little film that is very gritty. thankfully I can watch a couple of episodes of Floor is Lava for light relief. Speaking of which:

    Floor is Lava : Teams compete to navigate rooms flooded with lava by leaping from chairs, hanging from curtains and swinging from chandeliers.

    Watching people fall hurt themselves is always funny.

    Yeah I like Floor Is Lava also. We have similar tastes. Only yesterday I was watching Ultimate Beastmaster. Its an international tougher version of Ninja Warrior presented by Terry Crewes. Teams from different countries battle it out. Way more people fall than make it anywhere really.

    Don’t waste your time on “Hollywood” .

    We thought it would be a fun bit of nostalgia for the heyday of the Big Studios. The first five minutes were promising - handsome guy, straight out of the Army, trying his luck as an extra. Takes a seedy turn when he starts “servicing” customers at a gas station. The next half hour is a jumble of plot holes, risible dialogue and non-sequiturs. I was even willing to suspend my disbelief about ordinary characters in the 1950s with Millennial values about race and sexuality.

    How do they spends millions on glossy productions for a script full of holes? I just wanted light entertainment but who can enjoy this insult to normal intelligence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,808 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Top Boy new season not out till March 18th. Vikings next so. Original Vikings was great and fairly consistent throughout each season, maybe dropped a bit after Ragnar left but came back great again for final few seasons. Ended great unlike GOT. However this new Vikings on Netflix looks a bit too flashy and Hollywood to be anything close to original.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,908 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Have watched half of the new documentary about the Madrid train bombings and it struck me that although I remember it happening and the pictures of the train carriages blown up, which unlike 9/11, 7/7, or even the Paris terror attacks in 2015, it’s not one that sticks with me but it should given the scale of it.

    The beginning was pure class: really suspenseful, waiting to see if she can escape. But the rest of the film was not so good I’m afraid. Talking about the invisible man.
