Picked it up on autocorrect but didn't notice that it still got corrected.

So yeah Ornella Muti
I thought Rizzo was referring to The Fifth Element?


Moooooolteepass!
Yes, she knows it's a Multipass

(One of my fave films, incidentally)

Flash Gordon - The 1980 film.

Worth watching for no other reason than Ornella Multi.....

Nine "Gordon's Alives" out of Ten.
Love it. A total guilty pleasure.

It ended hinting at a sequel, but alas it wasnt to be.

Suprised its never been remade.
there is quite a story about that, sadly

Nope, sorry, didn't pick up on the "multipass" thing, I assumed it referred to autocorrect changing "Muti" to "Multi".

I've only ever watched The Fifth Element once and wasn't keen to be honest. Impressive to look at for sure, but a bit too 'arty' for me.

Glad so many like Flash Gordon though, there really is something special about it.

I caught a documentary on Prime a while back on Flash Gordon. The first half was a reminisce on the film itself and then the second half moved into being about Sam Jones' journey since the film.

Is that what you're referring to?

That's a shame. Maybe give it another go? I really rate it (but then again I am rather biased on the subject) smile

Given that I've just said it's one of my favourite films, I can only assume you posted this simply to be nasty to me.

Also, you seem to be confusing opinion with fact. You can't declare it "rubbish" in absolute terms, only that you don't like it.

Werewolf by Night - Disney+

1 hour long Marvel special introducing monsters to the MCU.

Filmed in b&w, horror B-Movie.

After the leader of a group of monster hunters die, a competition is held to determine the new leader and take control of the magical bloodstone.

Fun little short film.

6/10

It's been some time it so I honestly can't say on which platform I saw it or if I read about it. Definitely a major missed opportunity due to (from what I remember) Hollywood shenanigans (politics/money/sex/greed)

Blonde (Netflix)

It was a bit too long IMO but well shot and de Armas is superb. I read that a fair bit of how MM is portrayed in this film is fiction but I thought it was OK with that in mind

6.5 roving moles / 10 (I'm sure her beauty spot moved position)
