Yeah it has a 6.6 on IMDB which is shit low. But the actual written reviews are mostly 8,9 and 10’s. Still never really got the attention it deserved. Laughing out loud throughout the whole film.

Terry Hoitz: No, I don’t like you. I think you’re a fake cop. The sound of your piss hitting the urinal, it sounds feminine. If you were in the wild, I would attack you, even if you weren’t in my food chain. I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I’d bang your tuna girlfriend.

Allen Gamble: OK, first off: a lion, swimming in the ocean. Lions don’t like water. If you placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot wave, I’m assuming off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10. And guess what, you’ve wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of lion. We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said ‘You know what, lion tastes good, let’s go get some more lion’. We’ve developed a system to establish a beach-head and aggressively hunt you and your family and we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring.

Terry Hoitz: How you gonna do that?

Allen Gamble: We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It’s not gonna be days at a time. An hour? Hour forty-five? No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get some more oxygen, and stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You’re outgunned and out-manned.
[pause]

Allen Gamble: Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? Nope.

:joy:

Michael Keaton low key steals the show for me. Love the bit when he’s doing his managerial update for the bed bath and beyond staff, and mistakenly mentions there being a serial rapist in Crown Heights - “ignore that, no wait don’t ignore that if you live in Crown Heights, walk in pairs” :rofl:

Honestly, he does steal the show.

Whispering to the boys while they’re fighting at the funeral :joy:

The whole Christinith scene absolutely kills me everytime.

“You come to our house, you get my wife’s name RIGHT! CHRISTINITH!”

Also, still occasionally say “PEEYOO, PEEYOO, Arnold Palmer alert, Arnold Palmer alert, who wants some Arnie Palmies” when bringing a round of drinks back to a table.

When they come running down the road after them as well “holy shit that’s like 20 miles!”.

Terry not understanding what the federal reserve is also funny af. I’ll definitely rewatch this in the next few days. Tree-mendous.

“You know what Terry, let’s just settle this. Peacocks don’t fly!”

Yeah and you would think that because of the beard he’s probably really hairy, he’s actually completely shaved!

Haha yes that whole scene is great

Also, this is spot on:

The angry confusion portrayed by Mark Wahlberg throughout this movie was Oscar worthy.

Le Trou (1960)

In a French prison a bourgoisie inmate named Gaspard, who is imprisoned for the supposed attempted murder of his loving wife, is sent from his cell to another full of working class guys - who as it turns out are planning an escape. All is going well in the escape until Gaspard is called to the Director’s office to receive some news.


Superb prison drama with an ending that is very interesting. Reading the discussions on the IMDb boards about it is enlightening.

EDIT:

Blimey! :rofl: :joy:

The film is based on a true event concerning five prison inmates in La SantĂ© Prison in France in 1947. Director Becker, who died just weeks after shooting had wrapped, used mostly non-actors for the film’s main roles, including one man (Jean Keraudy) who was actually involved in the 1947 escape attempt, and who introduces the film

Peterloo
Mike Leigh’s adaptation of the massacre by the yeomanry on behalf of the government of the day at a meeting of workers looking for change in society.
Through out this film is a lot of at times flowery rhetoric with a boo hiss element too it. However with some strong character acting and when you get a feel for the story it builds into a worthwhile film and piece of history worth telling. 7/10

GvK 8/10

One hell of a enjoyable monster movie just sit back and enjoy ride.

Millie Bobby brown character and side story doesn’t really add anything to the film just their to fill the film out.

Hahaha

I’m rewatching this again now after all these posts and this film holds up so well :arteta:

Such an unreal cast.

Re-watched The Petrified Forest (1936) - a film about a hold up in a deserted desert (lol) gas station cafe by a gang of wanted mobsters.

Humphrey Bogart is brilliant as the bad guy Duke, but it’s definitely Leslie Howard’s show.
