The original Rate the Last Film you Watched thread got pretty full to bursting there, poor @omarcomin71 couldn't even open it, so I've locked that one and started a brand spanking new one.

I am listening to my wife and an employee of ours discuss a soap opera that is on tv like it's real stuff. I need a bucket of sand to bury my head in.

I am a huge movie/ cinema fan. I scrolled through this forum of "off topic" and didn't find anything about movies. So I thought I would start my own. I thought this might be a great way to share amazing movies with each other or to divert others from wasting their time with a terrible film. It is also a great way to get a look into each crew members psyche buy which films they are a fan of. Rate the movie with a total of 5 - being the best movie you have ever seen in your lifetime, to a 1 - worst movie ever. *NO SPOILERS* Rate the film but leave the key details out for those who have not seen it but may now want to see it due to your recommendation. I guess I …

The Clone Wars is back and so is Jedi Ahsoka Tano. As fans celebrate her return in this beloved animated series, they may have an even bigger moment to look forward to this year. According to Slashfilm, Tano will also appear in The Mandalorian's second season, which is slated to air on Disney+ this October. Since this is a live-action show, Tano will be brought to life by actress Rosario Dawson from Rent, Daredevil, and Eagle Eye fame. Dawson has long played along with fans requesting she be cast as Tano in a show. Now it appears to be happening. Tano was first brought to life in the animated series by actress Ashley Eckstein.

Friday the 13th

I can’t believe there hasn’t been a topic on the movie Friday the 13th. Only the greatest horror movie series of all time! I was only nine years old but clearly remember the trailer and when it was released in theaters. And that soundtrack, Creepy! Also my mom‘s reaction when she came back from viewing it. Scary stuff! The sequels would later get a bit silly but in the beginning it was quite different. @Con brought this to our attention that it’s the 40th anniversary of this classic slasher film.

Eurovision Song Contest 2015 Building Bridges Yep, it's that time of year again! It's kind of a big thing here in Europe but for some reason, the hype never crossed the french border Anyway, I know a lot of us european will follow the results. To spice things up, I thought it could be fun to host some sort of competition among those of us who live in a country participating in the contest. I did the math and at least 40% of the crew lives in a participating country. First: some ground rules. Time and Date : Two semi-finals will take place on May 19th and May 21st. The final will take place on May 23rd at 9:00 pm GMT+2 (I think) Participati…

Actual art?

So since this is Arts and Entertainment forum, is anyone into actual art, stuff like Picasso, Van Gogh, da Vinci?? I am not and I do not get what makes some "works of art" worth so much, especially Picasso. Jesus fuck I feel like I could throw paint at the wall and come up with better art than he did. I have known a couple professional artists, and they are weird a bit. The oddest was a Canadian lady, very nice but had an odd way about her, and it really isn't anything I can just say this or that was odd about her, just a whole package thing. And to be honest I am bit disappointed in our crew Canadians, she was way more stereo typical than you lot …

Must-See Documentaries

Most of the documentaries I'll be posting here are ones I feel basically every human being in the present day and age should see (especially the first one: HUMAN). If you were to ever only watch a handful of documentaries, then (some of) these should probably be on that list (will be adding more in the near future). If you were to ever only watch one documentary (series), it should definitely be "HUMAN". If you haven't seen any of these documentaries, then I highly recommend watching them. Some of these documentary films will be entirely available to watch here, others will have to be found elsewhere. Feel free to post any other documentaries that you …

I'll be posting short reviews of books I read here, mainly so I have somewhere to put down my thoughts. I've just finished my first book of 2019 so I'll start there. Brighton Rock by Graham Greene (1938) Hale is a reporter who knows he is going to be murdered. He hangs out in the crowds of Brighton Pier for safety. There he meets Ida Arnold, a kind, caring woman who can see he's in trouble but doesn't know why. After being separated for only a moment he is killed by Pinkie, leader of a gang based around the racetrack, in revenge for the murder of his mentor. This happens within the first few pages and launches you off on a brutal tale of murder, obsess…

The composer Enio Moriconni had died (aged 91) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53305397 He was probably most famous for the scores spaghetti westerns. I remember him most for the Untouchables, The Mission and Cinema Parridisso. I can't imagine those films without his amazing scores. They really were as integral to the film as the actors and the plot. Truly one of the all time greats of cinema.

Joker

Just saw the first trailer for the upcoming Joker film, and holy shit it looks amazing! It was gonna take a lot to take Heath Ledger's Joker off of the top of the pile but this looks like it could do it. I didn't know much about this film apart from the fact that Joaquin Phoenix is playing the joker, which is a good start. I did some research and the story was hugely inspired by The King of Comedy, one of my favourite films. Joker also stars Robert DeNiro as a talk show host, which is funny because in The King of Comedy he plays a comedian obsessed with a talk show host. Anyways, this is now one of my most anticipated films, just from this trailer.

Even if you have never played RDR2 and don't want to, you will like this show. Three seasons on demand HBO/Amazon Prime. It did not get a proper ending but finally this year they are making a movie to wrap it up. I highly recommend. I just started my rewatch last night.

Something that I am sure the likes of @Paulie @JuniorChubb may be interested in and I am sure a few others will be. Thought this might be somewhere to share things anybody is working on, be they hand drawn/painted or digital or somewhere just to share various arty things you may find and be interested in. First up from me, something I found via Behance, the guy does artwork by hand and then reworks them in Illustrator and/or Photoshop and does limited run prints of movie posters amongst other things. https://www.behance.net/Anzelmgabz The level of detail he gets is stunning.

What Are You Reading? 1 2

Reading for me is my absolute favourite hobby, even more so than video games. So I thought I'd start a little place where we can all share what we're currently reading and maybe get some good recommendations Right now I'm about halfway through The Unicorn by Iris Murdoch and its really starting to get good. Like a lot of her books she cranks up tension over a situation for the first half or so of a book, than has a big breaking point to spur the second half on, and I just reached that point so things are getting pretty heated! Anyone else reading something particularly good at the minute, or just want to share your favourite books/authors?

I loved this movie. Especially after experiencing the deep lore of the game, I think this is a hell of a great ride. Not sure if it's better that I played the game first or not, but I feel I got a deeper understanding of the gangs in the movie. What do you all think?

The Last of Us writer/creative director Neil Druckmann and acclaimed Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin are teaming up for an HBO series based on the hit video game. Naughty Dog president Evan Wells and Carolyn Strauss (executive producer of Chernobyl, among other HBO properties) will also serve as executive producers, and the TV series will be the first from PlayStation Productions. "Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and The Last of Us is his magnum opus," Mazin told The Hollywood Reporter. "Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years, and I'm so honored to do it in p…

205Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Babylon (2022) dir Damien Chazelle This is a lavish, epic story (3hr + run time) with a great ensemble cast set in late 20s - early 30s Holywood. Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie get top billing as silent movie mega-star Jack Conrad and new comer Nellie LaRoy respectively. But the star is really Diego Calva as Manny Torres, a Mexican immigrant who just wants to work in the film industry in any type of job can get for a production company, and turns out to have a real feel for what people want to see. The supporting characters also include Jovan Adepo as Jazz trumpeter Sydney Palmer, Li Jin Li as cabaret artist and screenwriter “Lady” Fay Zhu and Jean Smart as movie journalist Elinor St John. There is also cameo late on from Toby Maguire as a very sinister LA gangster who thinks he has some great ideas for new films. It has some great, big. colourful scenes set to music, such as where it starts at a lavish party being thrown by Manny's studio executive boss, complete with drugs, booze, strippers and a performing elephant. It charts the change from silent films to talkies and beyond, showing how some thrive on this whilst for others it ends their careers. It also shows how certain attitudes were at that time, in particular with respect to Sydney, who plays in a black-only Jazz band, because mixed race performances and films were not allowed. It has similarities to a number of other films set at a similar time; Cabaret, The Cotton Club, The Artist, and even Cinema Paradiso in a way. The acting is good all round but Calva and Robbie stand out. Some of the sets and cinematography are stunning. It's maybe a little too long and maybe tries to include too many characters, some of which just disappear from the story later on. But it is still a very good film. 9 / 10- 2

David Lynch, my favourite filmmaker of all time, died yesterday aged 78. Not only did he make some of the best films I've ever seen - Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive - but was also, by all accounts, a wonderful person who was just as strange as his films. I think this video sums him up perfectly and, if you've never seen any of his work, will make you want to check them out (I'd start with The Elephant Man).- 2
