Movie What's the last movie you saw? (4)

[Catfish Alley]

Saw Creed.
I'm still a bit confused which ones are which. Get confused between Rocky 2, 3 and 4.
First movie ever saw at cinema I believe was Rocky 3 maybe. I had to go back then and watch Rocky 1 and 2 on video at the time naturally.
I think 4 is with Ivan Drago. It was on 7mate or something a week or two back. Saw about ten minutes of it and then had to go out. At the time Apollo Creed was getting a reluctant Rocky to support him come out of retirement to fight Drago. Can't remember how this movie ends. Is this how Apollo Creed die. Did he die in fight with Drago ? Can't recall.

I saw a bit of it the other week too. Got about 30 minutes further than you.

After some Uncle Sam showboating with James Brown he lasts until round 2 before getting killed. He knew he was toast after the first round but told Rocky not to throw in the towel.

Someone give Carl Weathers a job. Poor bloke's had to sell his eyebrows.

Gotta make that stew somehow...

Saw creed it was a decent film but I'm finding it hard to see why everyone is going nuts over it.

3/5

 

[ManWithNoName]

In The Heart of the Sea

Pretty pretty good. But I was mostly distracted by the fact Jake Carlisle was playing the captain.

 

[bok_party]

The night before - was alright. Little underwhelming but we're some pretty funny parts. 2.5/5

 

[peternorth]

looking forward to seeing Creed as well. loved the actor who plays creed. fantastic in predator.

 

[chefmeister]

Watched Wall St 1 & 2 last night.
The first one easily shits all over the sequel but after a second time around I appreciated 'Money Never Sleeps' a lot more than I did previously.
Pretty predictable but it does continue the story really well.
7/10 & 6/10

The End of the Tour, about the Minneapolis leg of the Infinite Jest book Tour by DFW.

Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg were brilliant. brilliant. tour de force by those guys.

 

[blackcat]

Best films I've seen this year:


The Lobster
The End of the Tour
Ex Machina

BP where did you see TEOTT ?

I never could get into Lobster, and I am the greatest fanbou of abstract, dry, left of centre...

Ex Machina, love Alicia Vekander or whatever he name is, just pisses my of about old squeeze from stockholm, tho AV is Goteborg

 

[edgie]

Interesting, last I read Weathers and Stallone we're on bad terms over him not being offered any roles in 5 or 6.

Hard to see it from his perspective, since his character died and all...

I cant watch film on anything smaller than a cinema screen now, and I have been in the process of giving up film, only things i will bother seeing now are malick haneke, nuri bilge ceylan and bela tarr. mebbe some stuff at ACMI cinemateque,

tho A Woman Walks Home Alone was good, I could see like Tarantino it will age immediately with me because of the style tropes... like Noah Baumbach's Francis Ha. like it on first watch, then it reveals itself for all its pastiche on further watching

TEOTT was showing at MIFF earlier this year

not into the festival fetish or any artform/popcultureform

basically Festivals are just the marketing, if I remember, I think Rundle was saying this amongst other higher analysis: http://dailyreview.com.au/rundle-fetishism-is-the-new-tupperware/20107

MIFF's great. I just go on my own and watch movies. I only actually discovered it last year but I've loved it both years. Highly recommended.

I have been there before, i hate to queue, last decade I would see 40 odd films, it almost ruined film watching for me, I reckon if you do a marathon and try and see everyfilm, which I contemplated, if you get the fortnight off work, i think you can kill yourself, the sensory overload. Then films become a film white noise. not like a fortnight over just reading 18 hours a day, that is considerably different experience

I'm a member so I get to dodge the queues. And I took a week off work this year but still only saw ~35 odd films. Which feels like about the right number. Some people saw 70+ which to me seems just stupid.

Same here with 2, liked it a lot more 2nd time around though the original is by far a much better flick. & I always wonder with 2 if they actually had to pay Charlie Sheen for his spot or did he just happen to wander on set with a couple of 'friends'?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

SBS 2 have been going through the original nine Star Trek films this week, caught 4 the other night, still a great fun film that one! Generations was on last night, meh! First contact on tonight though, will watch that!

Will not watch Nemesis though, awful film and hate the pointless character death at the end.

 

[royboy2]

So I married an Axe murderer & Teen Wolf both on at the same time, I don't know which way to point myself!

 

[vast]

Creed. Loved how the fights were filmed. Reminded me a bit of raging bull but better.

What cloud? haha

my brain gives it 8/10 my heart 10/10

 

[footyfan1978]

ha ha. "What cloud?"
I liked that part.

Three years ago I would have been asking the same thing.

I watched Nemesis around similar time to be getting into tv show "Fringe"

Leonard Nimoy had already been replaced in my mind from being Spook to William Bell.

So was a bit weird to watch in that sense but it was still ok movie at the time.
