What Did You Watch Today?

[MDK]

Just started watching The Voices. So far, so good.

[Benji]

I thought, "There's no way Star Trek: Nemesis can be as bad as everyone says."

Whoomph, there it is.

Just started watching The Voices. So far, so good.

For reals, this film was the shit. If I was a psycho then this film would be a biopic of my life. The evil cat, the good dog and the slightly unhinged protagonist.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), was a lovely film.

[Benjamin]

Can't wait till you watch Mononoke, man. The relationship and the growth in between those two films is amazing.

[GhostMachine]

...Yeah I'm afraid it's all downhill for the TNG films after First Contact.

I've still never managed to get all the way through Nemesis.

Of all the Trek films (not including the two NuTreks), I try to forget that The Final Frontier, Generations, and Nemesis exist. (Insurrection isn't horrible, but isn't great, either. The other films I mentioned are all the drizzling shits.)

Was forced to watch the remake of Annie last night. Meh. Heidi gave it 5 stars. I gave it 2. The 1982 version was better.

I think we're getting Whiplash next.

Also watched The Good Lie recently, via Redbox. Highly recommend it.

Generations is lovely, damn it!

[Benji]

Aside from Nemesis, I don't think any were particularly bad. Not up to Star Trek standard, sure, but as stand-alone films they were okay or acceptable products of their time.

[GhostMachine]

Best line of The Final Frontier? "What does got need with a statship?".

Uhuru's fan dance, what happened with her and Scotty, and the very existence of Sybok screams fanfic garbage.

Generations is lovely, damn it!

No real crossover, aside from Kirk and Picard. And Kirk dies because Picard is a pussy who has to get someone else to do his fighting for him. Malcolm McDowell was brilliant (but when is he not?) as the villain, though.

Watching Duck Soup (1933).

I love Groucho Marx so much.

Edit: And Harpo too. I think this was inevitable since I grew up with Animaniacs and the whole thing is like a long Animaniacs sketch.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Castle in the Sky (1986),

[Benji]

The Longest Week puts on heirs and graces, but it's just another generic indy film with a decent cast and an unoriginal plot.

[Benjamin]

Oh man, Longest Week might be the worst movie of 2014. Tied with Million Ways to Die in the West and that one about reshooting the lesbian love scene.

[Benjamin]

Paddington was a fucking blast. I had way more fun than I should have watching that, I think.

[stokeriño]

One for any football fans, and especially those who currently have Sky Movies On Demand - Next Goal Wins (2014) is a documentary film about the American Samoan national football team, most famous for losing 31-0 to Australia, and the Dutch coach who comes in to try and help them out.

It's great stuff, and might make those who think they're bad at Football Manager (Benji? ) feel better about their achievements!

[Benji]

My achievements are gloriously pathetic.

[stokeriño]

Watching The Queen (2006) (one of my £0.25 bargains from CEX). What it's mainly doing is reminding me how much I like Michael Sheen and making me want to rewatch The Damned United.

[Benji]

Guardians of the Galaxy lives up to the hype. Funny, charming, good balance of drama, and one of the best compilation soundtracks I think I've ever heard.

If you like him enough, you can a lot of him naked in Masters of Sex

[stokeriño]

.........Maybe not that much.
