  1. Lord of the Rings is incredibly diverse in its own right: men, elves, dwarves, orcs, eagles, hobbits, ents and all sorts. No need to lay the real world's twisted version of diversity on top of that rich tapestry.

  2. Or as I call them: The Victim, Apache Attack Helicopter, Touched by Grandad, Free-speech? and Land-Whale. And did they not see the irony in calling the villain Reality?

  3. To Rian Johnson: to take a much-beloved thing and ruin it for everyone by 'subverting expectations'. To Chris Chibnal: to take a much-beloved thing and ruin it for everyone by making it an SJW borefest

  4. 464 now. I guess that means there will be a sequel.

  5. Doctor Who ended for me when Capaldi rode into a medieval court playing a guitar on top of a tank.

  6. At least we know that cake and pie makers have probably done just fine throughout these lockdowns.

  7. Now witness the firepower of this fully operational boycott...

  8. There is something hilariously inept and ludicrous about Natalie Portman dressed in a Thor outfit.

  9. Rey has one character flaw: really big man calves

  10. This film was utter shit. Just like Get Out.

  11. Being able to close her mouth would be a character arc for Rey, and we can't have that.

  12. You are quite wrong about Knives Out, but Glass Onion was indeed crap.

  13. Please refer to this series by its preferred title "Nurse Who".

  14. I can see Robert Duvall as Quint. Different but still interesting. But Charlton Heston as Brodie? I think we dodged a bullet there. Anyway, my Dad took me to see this on original release. I was 8. Had nightmares for weeks afterwards. It was Ben Gardner's spring-loaded head that did it, not the shark. I still get nervous re-watching Jaws when that scene approaches, even now viewing near 50 years later. And it puts Jaws up there with the Wizard of Oz (several years earlier) as the two films that hit me hardest in the nightmares dept when I was very young. (That witch!). Quick footnote: The editing in this movie is great. That scene where Brodie browses the shark attack books is a masterclass.

  15. Well in terms of the gravitas and acting ability required to play the Doctor, Jodie is indeed a midget.

  16. Now I know who ate all the pies....the ginger.

  17. Or put another way, "Never trust a bastard that doesn't drink."

  18. KotM was awesome and yer taste is right up yer arse. And Godzilla's been up to no good because it's Mechagodzilla in disguise. (Similar plot to 1974's Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla movie). And Skull Island Kong was a baby, they even say so in that movie; he's grown up in this one. Finally, Godzilla has had plenty of different origins in the Toho movies, not just the atomic bomb allegory. Did you do no research whatsoever? :P

  19. Similar story here, though I stopped caring before any murder had actually happened. I stayed to the end though. Bad decision.

  20. I had to google who Amy Schumer was. She should play the frog.

  21. Did you watch the "reboot" in 2010, Mystery Incorporated. It was wonderful. Fantastic animation and expanded on the characters, in a good way.
    2
  22. I got this on Steam recently for nostalgia, and it is actually terrible. The controls are awful. Not sure if it's a bad port or what but jeez. Couldn't play more than an hour.

  23. Kevin Smith lost all credibility when he raved about The Force Awakens.
    2
  24. Because she cannot act.

  25. I found it very average. And the guy who played Huey turned out to be a complete arsehole, which was very off putting.

  26. Dream Casting: Ruby Rose to play Justin Bieber (age 15) in his life story movie.

  27. Nice b**bs. Bad series. That is all.

  28. Females were strictly gatherers in the Comanche hunter/gather society. Sorry lefties, blame history, not me. Predators wouldn't give them a second thought. This will be a woke mess, calling it now.

  29.  @Saint17996  No but I have the internet and I can research. And how dare you accuse me of sniffing ether.

  30. Quit when you're ahead I guess.

  32. Throwing up on a night out is simply an indicator that you are now ready for more booze.

  33. Kirsten Stewart is just so very bland. She can therefore only play bland. She will basically never be able to play any character ever, except Bella, because Bella is super bland.

  34. I think this movie is excellent. Nothing quite like it.

  35. The Space Triangle is my favourite Quality Street. And the pubic triangle is my favourite part of Edinburgh.

  36. 0:40 Is the girl on the left a vampire?

  37. I thought it was OK. Loads of aspects of the games crammed in from characters to locations to creatures etc. But last movie I saw in the cinema was Longlegs, so after that almost anything would have seemed decent, even Trap. Actually scratch that, not Trap.

  38. Klinski has the most insane-looking human face I've ever seen. Of you ever had to pick the psycho out of a crowd of 1000 men, I'd pick him every time.

  39. I want to watch this, but I cannot take another minute of Galadriel. Easily the most poorly written, acted and casted character I've ever seen, in *anything*.

  40. When you barf in a mate's flat, do it behind the curtains. By the time he finds it, it could have been anyone at any time. Hasn't failed for me yet.

  41. My auld Granny always used to say.... Never trust a bastard who eats their steak well-done. Advice that has served me well over the years.

  42. Every single little thing they changed from the books for the LotR trilogy detracted from it. Every single one. Anyways, there are some fantastic stories and set-pieces in the Silmarillion, so there's hope. I for one would like to see a battle that involves 1000 Balrogs.

  43. Let them burn

  44. The LotR was awesome, but it still did contain shit bits. And guess what? Every one of those shit bits were the things they changed from the book or added. And indeed every single thing they changed or added was shit, without exception. Along comes the Hobbit trilogy where the amount of changes and additions is through the roof in comparison to LotR and again, every one of those changes and additions was shit. Simple maths. I've watched LotR from start to finish many times now, yet I will likely never watch any of the Hobbit movies a second time; no way I could get through them again.

  45. You are insane. Sucker Punch is a masterpiece.

  46. I like some of the visuals here tbh, but certainly not the young boy they have playing Snow White. He is utterly loathsome. Diversity casting I guess.
    1
  47. I've heard people hail the lesbian kiss as extremely progressive. Then I thought....wasn't Hammer films in the early 70s pioneering in the lesbian kiss department (Vampire Lovers etc). For the titillation of men of course. Yeah...progressive.

  48. I have a fam. And just like Jodie's, they are all pointless assholes. Also, while I'm here....worst....Master....ever.

  49. The main problem with series 1 was they cast someone who looked as much like a woman as I do (not much). Had they cast an actual woman instead of a teenage boy, it might have worked.

  50. I am also that friend. And I've done all that shit i my own house many times. Share the wealth.

  51. Teela Sue?

  52. Please. No more images of Lana. I was eating my dinner ffs.

  53. Please don't forget that Whittaker's seasons are not canon. It was a spin-off series designed specifically to make the Twin Dilemma look like a masterpiece as the BBC were fed up with that story coming last in every list of best Dr Who stories ever compiled by anyone, anywhere, ever. I think it served its purpose rather well to be honest. 24 episodes all considerably worse than the Twin Dilemma is an unbelievable feat but they did it. Kudos.

  54. wtf is that ginger all about? Mutation!!!!

  55. Anyone else get the dry boak whenever Rachel Zegler appears anywhere?

  56. The Conjuring (or the Clichening as I call it) was a terrible film, and last James Wan horror I watched as a result.

  57. Why isn't Smith being prosecuted or sued and having his Oscar removed? This was common assault. He should be sentenced to watch After Earth every day for a month. If he cannot develop a sense of humour after that, there's no saving him.

  58. Nice video m8 and some nice clips at the start. I agree with everything you said. The only western that tops Unforgiven for me, is McCabe and Mrs Miller. That one is an absolute masterpiece, and perhaps was very much the Unforgiven of its day.

  59. Sticking to the source material....like casting a woman as Liet-Kynes?
    1
  60. Will GvK be FUN? Easy to answer that question. If you thought KotM was fun, then yes it will be, otherwise no. Simple. So a huge yes for me.

  61. MBB is a worse actor than Godzilla.
    1
  62. I used to be a cool spy, but then I took a bullet to the knee....Come on, too easy. Anyway, I'm sure Bond will shag that black Bond girl. Right?

  63. Tinkerbell and Wendy in girl-on-girl furry cup action? Sign me the f**k up. About time too. Very progressive of Disney. I approve.

  64. Was that nightclub photo taken in Clatty Pat's on Great Western Road?

  65. Yeah he got his act together.

  66. Agree on 2010. That space walk scene is tense.

  67. This film becomes unwatchable the moment Chris Tucker appears.
    1
  68. Ridley Scott is the single most over-rated director in the history of cinema.

  69. I thought the movie was OK - not enough Harkonnens though. The story is a bit crappy (never read the book) and some of the characters a bit weak and undeveloped, but it looked great. Plot-wise, I didn't get why the Emperor didn't just govern Arrakis himself with his own people and armies, and reap all the profit and power. Why farm out to a powerful house that he has clear rivalry with? You can't argue it was a plot to weaken both Atriedes and Harkonnen houses because they mention that the Harkonnens governed the planet for many (was it 80?) years before year 10191. Surely if the Empire had held the planet for themselves they would have gathered so much wealth and power to be completely untouchable? Seemed a massive plot hole.

  70. This was my third fav, after RE2 and Code Veronica.

  71. Remember everything from Chibnall's era is not canon.

  72. Sorry....the left says no. Goddamn the censor man.

  73. RE2 > Veronica > RE5 > RE4 > RE7 > RE > RE3

  74. Did you just call The Texas Chainsaw Massacre a gorefest? Have you ever seen it?
    1
  75. The key word here is FUN. This movie was FUN. Godzilla movies should always be FUN first and foremost. The last 2 Japanese movies have forgotten that.

  76. I blame every single asshat that defended The Force Awakens. If that movie had attracted the terrible reviews it deserved, and none of the positive reviews the fanboy idiots gave it, we might have saved the trilogy right there,

  77. Gormeghast is amazing you uncultured philistine pisshead. Seriously. It's in a different league from all the other shit you mentioned. Not strictly fantasy though, there's no magic or elves, it's more or less a dark, morbid gothic power struggle set in a crumbling old castle, and only has about a dozen main characters. Read it. It's a life-changer.

  78. Aren't the Sith an Order? How can there be a Sith homeworld? Is there a Jedi homeworld? Genuinely curious. Do I smell Shyte?

  79. Why aren't you pished? For shame.

  80. Luke refuses to help Rey because he can sense she is so much more perfectly powerful than he is.

  81. Did she shoot herself?

  82. Chris Stuckman's opinion is beyond useless. He is the epitome of a shill.
    1
  83. Wait, what? This movie is absolutely brilliant and perfectly cast to boot. You've gone mad on the Buckie ya piss head. I note with interest that on the Wikipedia page for this movie it states that nay-sayers disliked it because of "the R-rating, the running time, and the complex narrative, for being too confusing and difficult to follow". So basically, stupid wimps disliked it, everyone else loved it. Sounds about right.

  84. wickid you subverted my expectations there
