If the situation were reversed, what's the movie you'd threaten to drag him to see?

Hmm do I give the answer that makes me look good, or do I tell about the pure drivel he's sat through with me

He'll cite all of the YA science fiction and fantasy I like to watch (Maze Runner, Hunger Games, Snow White & the Huntsman, the other Snow White with Julia Roberts, and that one with Angelina Jolie). And all the comic book movies.

He liked Gone Girl and Equalizer and we both agree we want to see NightCrawler.

I enjoyed Gone Girl but, I am wondering, do you think it ended with a bit of a thud in the movie? I'm glad I saw it but it did not have the tricky ending that I was expecting.

I'm also trying to seduce him into watching Paris Is Burning with me and some French Canadian arthouse with me (Monsieur Lazhar, highly recommend). But hell, I sat through Black Hawk Down.

I quite liked the end because it implied that it never ever ends for these two. And I think that's what made it hard to wrap up. You can't keep that sensation while tying it up with a bow at the same time.

You and he might enjoy John Wick. Way more entertaining than I expected it to be.

I felt the same. Compared to the cranked-up tension built throughout the movie, the ending was so...meh. I mean, I "got it," but...just left me wanting.

If you're going to do those, definitely make him sit through Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet. It took a little bit for it to hook me. That was a favorite of my ex-roomie's and she made me watch it, to my eventual delight.

I may have had my hopes to high. I was enjoying all of the twists and turns and was hoping for "Usual Suspects" type of ending. Not the "we are stuck with each other till death do us part" that I got. I heard that the book was very good.

Thanks for that, I have never seen a Baz Luhrmann movie that I did not like. The great Gatzby was especially good.

Gotta love Keanu Reeves. You just gotta. A couple nights ago we watched the Kenneth Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing (on a quest to watch and re-watch everything with Denzel Washington in it, plus joyful, lush, and fun) wherein the poor child reliably provided some unintentional comic relief. But I love him.

I adore that version of Romeo & Juliet! and he hates watching DiCaprio (especially during his pretty boy years)! It was visually phenomenal of course. Two scenes transported me: Clare Danes and him when they first meet by the fish tank, and Mercutio's Queen Mab and death scene.

Thanks for that, I have never seen a Baz Luhrmann movie that I did not like. The great Gatzby was especially good.

Is it the type that only the big screen will do it justice?

No, but some of the tank battles will benefit from big screen.

 

[Kalamain]

I can't wait to see it on DVD. I hate the cinema. There is always some twat that talks or disturbs the film.

I'm a tank lover (No, not like that) and so when I saw this I got all excited (Stop it!)

Pity I have to sit through the bits with Shitty leBluff though.

 

[pete]

i like a good war movie.
and i'm a big fan of brad pitt (we share the same birthday)

but my bone-deep loathing of shia lebouf will keep me from seeing this film

 

[Fata Morgana]

LeBoooof was really good in it. Not annoying at all.

I know what you mean. I like to go in the afternoon when there's less twats in rattling popcorn. Fucking hate cinema chatterers.

Best film I've seen this year. Pitt was Oscar worthy in it.

Anyone seen it? Like it?

This is one film I'd not expect you to go see voluntarily.
You suprise me yet again, ya cunt.

Seriously? I love war films me.

Ya learns something new every day..
I knew ya wasn't a chick-flicker but I thought you'd be more the thriller film buff over war films.
