Unless it is about Indie's adventures in an old people's home it isn't going to be very realistic.

Let it die. The last one would have been a good opportunity to pass on the torch, with Harrison Ford taking on the Sean Connery role from the last crusade, but that movie "nuked the fridge".

Stop flogging these franchises long after they are deceased and create something new.

Hollywood dont like to create anything new, they want a guarantee of certain amount of money/confidence in the movie, and thats why they keep wheeling out the old actors/directors/movie titles + 1

Office Space (1999) DVD

Newly Zen'd office wage slave & mates plot a software scam.

Entertaining late '90's office-based comedy (although feels much older) that I'd not seen for years. Bizarre soundtrack though, being almost entirely late '90's gangsta rap.

I could watch this and Dazed and Confused on a loop, my two go-to films when I just want to relax and enjoy.

I watched "Sicario II" last night, from a recording a couple of weeks back. It was OK, but didn't really seem to go anywhere and seemed to have a big chunk missing out of the end. (And no, I didn't nod off part-way through). A bit formulaic though, political leader sends them to do a dodgy job and then gets cold feet when they do.

He's been spotted down the pub in North Shields. Temple of Doom indeed.

Dazed & Confused is great - also one of my favourites, as is the more recent Everybody Wants Some!, also by Linklater.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster
Peak Jennifer Aniston ?

Peak Aniston: sounds like a difficult off-piste ski run.

She's good in lots of films (even if the films aren't that good IMO (although I'm probably not the target market!)), peak for me's We're The Millars & Life of Crime though.

Started watching Wrath of Man since it actually got a four star review on Roger Ebert:

Should have seen the reviews above, because I thought it was rubbish and switched it off.
Jesus H Christ - the dialogue....who wrote that crap?

I watched this last night - 100% agree.
I usually avoid watching Jason Stratham films as the lead character but it was recommended to me and I should of known better, the only film I think he was good in was Snatch and that was over 20 years ago!

I do hope she played herself in Horrible Bosses, though We Are The Millers is far superior

I thought she was great in We Are The Millers, and then I found out she used a body double for the pole dancing scene.

so rumours are that the INDY 5 shooting we are seeing is a flash back of him in a nazi prison escape, giving the back ground to a villain/villains indy meets in the 60's

they will prob do the de-aging cgi.

You might not be that far wrong. Rumours all over the internet at the moment suggest that its going to be about.....

The Nazi Gold Train, Die Glocke & the henge. It will also supposedly feature the weird Nazi SS castle that always crops up in those documentaries about German wunderwaffen and occult practices. Worryingly there is also alleged concept art of wormholes and mentions of time travel...

And you thought Aliens were a dumb idea!

So, basically, BJ Blazkowicz Indiana Jones and the Return to Castle Wolfenstein?

please no time travel please Spielberg - i mean, he could have them meet the Avengers on his way , give marty mcfly a slap on the face, and help Shatner save some whales too.

Watched The Outpost on Amazon this morning and although a harrowing story, thought it was pretty good.

Kajillionaire (Sky/Now)

Offbeat, 'indie' and really quite dark.

Also funny, affecting and moving.

Not sure what to make of it, but it wasn't a waste of my time.


I'll give it a 7, but it could be worth more.

Quite enjoyed Management starring her & Steve Zahn, defo a guilty pleasure film.

Completely unrelated, just finished watching Baby Driver & the Freesat box was showing Notting Hill. Was about to switch off (despite Julia Roberts) when I noticed this:




Mansell's Donington drive in '98. When Touring cars was news!

[TCEvo]

Top Nige + Mondy spotting there!

[rider73]

He showed up the other TC racers that day despite an issue with a fuel pump and until tiff punted hon into the wall iirc
