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.

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

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

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'?;)

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.

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.
