The Official Movie Thread

Sabaton have a concert movie getting theatrical release this October. That ought to excite heavy metal movie goers 🤣
 
I re-watched The Fall Guy last night figuring maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it the first time. But alas it's still crap. Sure there is some mildly impressive action scenes and the Sydney backdrop looks good but the story is utter shit. It's like the new Roadhouse movie, it seems that the writer have no fucking idea what the original story was and they just wrote whatever the fuck suits their one track minds. Just like Roadhouse losing the original essence of Dalton, The Fall Guy loses all essence of Colt Seavers and how "The Fall Guys" operated.
It was also weird to see the left hand GMC ute amongst all the the right hand drive Aussie cars. Considering the GMC with those colours was Colt's vehicle of choice I can't see why it was in Australia when he was called at the last minute to be a stuntman on someone elses movie.
Perhaps I'm just too picky and calling the movie SHIT was enough of a review.

I know I forgot to reply back about killers (still no rewatch...), but hot damn I'm too busy for fun let alone internet arguing anymore.

I know Vegard likes that fucking twin peaks third season but my god that was abhorrent television. I read some shit on Reddit following that comment and it sounds like it has some season two payoff with the season conclusion, but at least there were significant episodes in season 2 that were fantastic.

I think I tried more than half of the new season and my memory tells me there was nothing enjoyable lol. I can't believe people finished it let alone thought it was a positive thing. Love my youth where I could watch garbage and not be pissed off after.


For myself, Godzilla Minus One made it to Netflix and finally watched it. I think hearing all the hype kind of "ruined" it for me, but still some of the better/best Godzilla in some time.

Maybe I'll try and rewatch Killers of the Flower Moon this week to bring this place back to life. Just kidding

Once again you've offered up an extremely contrarian opinion with no real justification besides "everyone's wrong except me". It would be nice if you had a real argument for a change.

Yes the season 3 payoff is fantastic, competes with the Sopranos for best TV finale of all time. It ends in such a perfectly unresolved way that for months after watching it I had dreams in which I was seeing an imagined episode 19. A friend of mine finished the season this year and had the exact same experience. But I wouldn't consider it something you have to sit through to get to an amazing payoff, the season owns from the first episode to the last.

On an unrelated note, seeing Furiosa tonight. Hyped.

I think its about time i dust off Blood Meridian and give it a read. Still havent ready anything from Cormac though :err:. And from what i remember, people said that shouldn't be the first Cormac book i should read.

nothing wrong with going in at the deep end IMO, it's the darkest and most fucked up one but that probably makes it a good starting point for metalheads.

Yea i remember picking up a few of his books after chopping it up with a few of you guys. I think yiu had told me to start with the Borders trilogy, which i have along with NCFOM, Blood Meridian and The Road.
 
well i'm guessing you've seen the film of NCFOM which makes the book a bit redundant IMO. the road actually feels designed to be a starting point, relatively short and accessible while still having his signature style (and much better than the movie), not his best work though. border trilogy is definitely a fine alternative starting point and great, but it's probably not as immediately striking and different as BM.
