Bullet train was just my type of action/humor combo. Ungentlemanly Warfare looks amazing too, but still no word on when it will be available on streaming here in Japan
I don’t remember Ian Fleming being portrayed in film before but seems there was one other a few decades back.
Leaving the liberties with history aside, it was an enjoyable watch. I’m puzzled as to from where the female lead produced that pistol. The mind boggles.
one for @Harry_Bumcrack it seems they haven’t run out of animals to make monster movies about … but where are the dropbears
Probably got eaten by the zombie kangaroos
They’re too dangerous to film… you know the Weeping Angels from Dr Who? Drop bears are the reverse - they only move when you look at them… we think (nobody has survived to confirm it)
Snort… giggle…
Just bumped into this stuff from a random YouTube recommendation and I admit that I’m fascinated and horrified at the same time. I simply can’t imagine the motivation for going into these places. More scary to me than Freddie Krueger ever was. Real life horror stories.
Ooof. I am not claustrophobic (hey I was a tankie for 3 years and have been to sea on a sub) but that makes my skin crawl.
I had downloaded The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare from Amazon Prime on my tablet and during yesterday’s powerout I finally watched it. I liked the movie. Solid action and lots of explosions. However, as a blueprint of a specops operation, probably not It’s just exaggerating the action parts too much. I wonder how the ops really worked.
I can deal with exaggerations but one thing that drives me nuts with Hollywood history these days is how everyone is jacked on steroids. Dudes back in the day were strong, but lean, on average.
Yeah, I know… Willing suspension of disbelief only gets me so far these days.
Once I run out of that I have to rely on ‘somewhere in the multiverse’.
Overall not one of Ritchie’s best efforts IMHO but an entertaining romp nonetheless.
Nope. You can’t drop that and not give us a story. Sorry. C’mon…
Not a particularly exciting story… Early 90’s and an O-Boat (Oberon Class), HMAS Onslow from memory.
There was an opportunity for us to practice/test the feasability of deploying by sub. A week onboard, pretty much confined to the forward torpedo room, getting from Sydney to the Torres Strait. Five of us then crammed ourselves and a thermal Imager (ANTAS-6A) onto a zodiac to one of the smaller islands for a week of ‘coastwatching’.
Picked up by a Patrol boat and taken to Cairns when we then flew via C-130 back to RAAF Amberley.
Fun fact. O Boats have rear facing torpedo tubes, but they are a smaller diameter and the RAN never had the torpedos for them. They were usually filled with cans of beer.
Oh wow, guys- after my son reccommended it to me we watched together “Hamilton”
I was laughing, crying, thinking- it has been one of the most stunning theater productions I have ever had the pleasure to (remotely) watch.
Easily one of my new all time favourites.
Gave Napoleon a shot. Ridley Scott really has a vendetta against historians and Napoleon himself, it seems. Great potential ruined by an academic-hating “alpha male” jock mentality that did everything it could to portray a historical figure as a “beta male.”
Yeah, I didn’t feel like watching it after too many reviews of people I trust.
Shame, shame, shame.
Recently watched “Eyes Wide Shut”, “Alien” and “Aliens”.
I saw Alien: Romulus last weekend.
While not as good as the first two, it was better than the other 2 and the 2 AvP films for me.
So 3rd best Alien film.
Also actually ties into the Prometheus prequels Scott made in a small way.
Saw Deadpool 3 and I was figuratively laughing and hollering the whole time.
