Welcome to Jalj's Not-in-order-always-changing-top-10! HAPPY BIRTHDAY XDBX!!!!!! I figured i couldn't be calling myself the so called resident list maker while not actively making list for everyone to see... ...so i stopped calling myself so! I had to take a step back from my bi weekly list due to work, hobbies and school schedule. I still love list though, so now instead of biweekly, Im making this into a bimonthly list! So heres how this is going to work, Im going to post my favorite things in a list of top 10 and while the list will be numbered from 1 to 10, unless specified, the lists will not be in order. Sure I could just list them in order from my favorit…

[With Spoilers!] The Force Awakens, what did you think? 1 2
by MrBump360- 43 replies

I thought it was awesome to be honest... ok you can make a case for the plot being basically a remake for large parts, but what the hell. for me the new Characters were really good, but Han and Chewy stole the show. Harrison Ford was head an shoulders above anyone else. And yeah, it was kinda obvious wasn't it that he wouldn't make it? Mark Hamil.... just managed to sneak into the Credits? what a performance lol. Can pick some holes in the film, but I loved it anyway, Episode I-III can now be laid to rest, we have a worthy follower at last :-) May the force be with you!

The originals getting back together (Axl, Slash and Duff anyways) for the Cochella concert. I'm a GnR fan since the old days and while I like the Chinese Democracy album it just wasnt the same. Hopefully they put out a new album at some point in Appetite for Destruction style. And hopefully Axl don't fuck this up. I seen them in concert just before Appetite hit big, it was at a very small venue that holds a a 1,000 people. I made sense then, Axl is from about 40 miles from me so he knows/knew the area then quite well and the cities around. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/8-unanswered-questions-about-the-guns-n-roses-reunion-20160105

Hey guys ! So Avengers: Age Of Ultron comes out in less than 10 days here in France. And I'm freaking excited !!! Early reviews are in and it looks like we are in for a treat once again. Ever since Iron Man came out back in 2008, I became a huge fan of super heroes movies and TV Shows. I already kind of liked the genre thanks to movies like Tim Burton's Batman and later Spider-Man and the Dark Knight trilogy. But I really got hooked with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The way Marvel chose to make all their movies and TV shows part of the same world, I found this amazing. Besides, it's brilliantly executed and all the pieces fit perfectly together. I'm really …

The Gamechangers

I don't watch much TV, especially TV produced by ageing institution that is the BBC but this Tuesday evening there is a docufilm which should interest all of us. Called The Gamechangers its the story of Sam Houser and his case against American lawyers who were trying to ban the GTA series. It's starring Harry Potter (no magic involved) and has been based on the court documents. This film hasn't been endorsed by Rockstar so I'm expecting to see some gritty truths as well as an intriguing look behind the scenes of the most successful game series ever. How to watch it I'm not sure, UK residents will be able to watch it, I'm going to record it as it's the same time…

Me and the wife rarely watch TV, mostly just box sets that I get. Need some suggestions for a new one soon as most of the ones we watch have finished for now, or finished for good. We have already seen/are watching: Walking Dead Scandal Prison Break Lost Banshee Pretty Little Liars Under The Dome Dexter Breaking Bad Sons Of Anarchy Game Of Thrones Currently watching Wayward Pines, but have nearly finished what they've released so far. Thanks in advance.

214Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 1

Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
