  1. Friend of mine (and huge Room fan) saw an early screening of this, said it lived up to the hype and was surprisingly dramatic.
  2. Reviews are actually better than I expected. This was always going to be fluff.
  3. I enjoy this show in fits and bursts, but it's such a hot mess. The basic storytelling mechanics in any given episode are often pretty terrible.
  4. Hastily cobbled together shitty comedy sequel no-one particularly wanted doesn't do well shocker.
  5. If this is true to the source material, it should. The book is much more about a man whose ambition wildly exceeds his talent and his ability to kid himself than merely funny anecdotes from the set. (Whether the movie actually captures that, I've no idea.)
  6. Holy fucking shit at IT's WW number. I hadn't followed it all beyond its domestic OW.
  7. Just browsing Jackman's IMDB, his only real critical successes outside of X-Men films are The Prestige and Prisoners. I like the guy, but it's shocking how bad he is at choosing movies.
  8. I can't remember a non-franchise film that's been advertised this much in recent memory. Seriously, they've gone absolutely nuts marketing this in the UK.
  9. Not the most exciting trailer in the world, but it looks way too deliberately uncomfortable to be brushed off as Oscar bait. It's also going to have a lot of Weinstein references in the reviews.
  10. Yeah, this is really funny. It doesn't hold back at all on how horrific this period in Russia was (lots of people die, brutally), and the laugh out loud dialogue combines to make it almost surreal. The 100 minutes flew by.
  11. How come? (Asking only because you're more thoughtful than most, not getting defensive.)
  12. Fassbender suffers from Colin Farrell syndrome: a character actor cast in leading man roles because of his looks. He'll never be a draw, but I've always found him very watchable.
  13. There's a weird strain of people on this forum who don't seem to appreciate that Shame is a legitimately good movie.
  14. By every account it is. But I'm sure if it's not to your taste the next feature length Faig/Apatow improv class will be along shortly.
  15. Can't be bothered to check the thread but I assume we've already had a laugh at how much the poster rips off Inception. I do a double-take every time I see it out and about:
  16. I'd love to have been in the pre-production meetings to see how a bunch of people agreed to spend that much money on a sequel to a film that's partly famous for being a box office disappointment. Maybe they saw Tron Legacy's haul and thought 'it'll be fine'.
  17. In fairness Ghostbusters '16 only had about three defenders on here. Three more than it probably deserves, but still not many. As for JW, I'm unremitting in how bad I think it is, but I'd never deny it was popular. It is quantifiably very popular... insofar as people think of it at all.
