Film 2019

[Kenickie]

We weren't going to bother but I needed a wee and then we went back in after that and saw it.

[H1ppychick]

I saw Apollo 11 this evening. The footage is remarkable, and the score is excellent. It’s beautifully done.

[indigo]

Midsommar was brilliant and a total headfuck. More bizarre than Hereditary, if you can imagine such a thing.

[Smunder Woman]

My friend and I went to see Midsommar yesterday as a break from our PhD shizz. It was excellent. I want to say something about the ending but won't spoiler it

[H1ppychick]

Would I enjoy it if I wasn't hugely a horror fan (it's not a genre I'd seek out but I don't mind the odd one now and then?)

[Smunder Woman]

Yes, I never watch horrors. It wasn't particularly scary, just fucked up.

[Skips]

We saw Brightburn the other day. I really enjoyed it, although it had a lot more gore in it than I was expecting.

We also saw the most recent Annabel film, which I found really predictable and boring. J doesn't think I'm human as I often don't jump at horror films. I did in this one when a box closed loudly. A BOX.

I’m squeeing at all the Comicon Marvel announcements! Now, how to get the Disney+ channel when the time is right...

[Kleio]

A new Blade!

They’ve said the films will tie in with the series too! I’ll probably just get from Canada.

[Estrella]

I’m also even excited about the announcements. However, Stan which is an Aussie streaming service already has all of the MCU and Disney exclusively over here. I hope that doesn’t change with the Disney streaming service.

Can we have a thread? My friend and I saw this last night - very late - and it was bizarre but brilliant. Like The Wicker Man on acid.

There were a couple of gory bits but nothing hugely horrid.

Start one!

[Skips]

We went and saw The Dead Don't Die. I thought it looked good in trailers but it was a bit weird and the ending seemed rushed as well as having characters that at the end you just asked "well, what happened to them?"

[Livilla]

I took J & S to see The Lion King today, which like all the Disney "live" remakes so far was better than I was expecting. Really though, the movie has such beautifully scored emotional high points, they'd really have to screw up to not get those working I was amused how we were surrounded by twenty-somethings, all cheerfully saying how it had been their favourite movie when they were children and they were really looking forward to re-living it. No wonder Disney has had a record year for profits...

[Lily]

I am annoyed with Disney as they refused to allow a local cinema to show The Lion King and Toy Story 4 at the same time. This reminds me, I need to complain to them.

Saw Once Upon A Time in Hollywood tonight. It was much better than any of Tarantino's previous work and very well done. It also made me feel desperately sad at the end, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. It was long but I didn't notice and really enjoyed it.

[Morganna]

I’m on my way home from seeing Downtown Abbey. Fans of the TV show will love it. All the cast are in it, and there are several subplots (the main one is a Royal visit to Downton).

I enjoyed it, but it is very long.

[Blondiejude]

I saw it last night Morg, I did enjoy it but felt they tried to get every funny quip and character into it and it felt a bit more “forced” than the gentle speed of the tv series. That said I enjoyed it but yes it was long! X

[maya]

Would a four year old find the lion king remake scary? I would like to take my girls (and I really want to see it too ) bit I’m not sure if it’s suitable...

[Smunder Woman]

Penne's son loved it, and he's a very sheltered four year old.

[Luce]

It's a kids film, it will be fine. My 5 year old enjoyed it but be loves the cartoon version.
