Long month. Long month.

It just ain't fun anymore.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Just finished watching Prisoners for the first time. I could tell that Jackman's character was going to snap but didn't think he'd snap as much as he did.

I've now decided that Gyllenhall is one of my favourite actors too and he was a better 'Loki' than Tom Hiddleston. Superb.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Seemed to me like it had been on the shelf for years.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Prisoners was one of those movies that was described to me as "really good" by somebody who, as it would happen, had a different idea of "really good" than me. Me, I'd have described it as "pretty good," which is a whole different kettle of fish.

I'd talk more often about how I like Jake Gyllenhaal if his name wasn't so difficult to spell.

Allow me..


Say JAKE then,

Its close enough.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It just occured to me that her name could be a reference to how she shares Maggie Gyllenhaal's slightly wonky features. I've got a thing for women whose features are just a bit askew.

OH SO FIXED!

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Saggy Jillian Hall?

Those WWE naming folk certainly do play the long game with their characters.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Speaking of J-Gizzle, here's a shot of him from Southpaw:

Phwoar.

OH SO FIXED!

That's most of them, isn't it?

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

That's most of them, isn't it?

You know what the worst part is, Gillian Hall was damn hot but the WWE actually made me see past that for her entire fucking run.

They should run an abstinence church.

Nevermind cheese, you could grate a goddam bull on dem abs.

I liked it, I thought it was funny, I expected it to end up higher than mid-table. I really did. *beat, stares at camera*

 

[Thriller Ant]

Is Big Hero 6 not out over there or are you both avoiding it?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I will be able to import it from the US before I can see it in a cinema over here because Disney likes to hold my hand over an open flame every now and then.

Oh yeah that's right, don't they always delay their releases in the UK?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Nope - e.g. we get the second Avengers movie a week early. Go figure.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Turns out Paddington skews young. Really young. First time I've ever felt truly uncomfortable watching a children's film, like I have an ulterior motive to be there that even I'm not really aware of.

I probably would have loved Paddington if I was six. It's definitely aimed at that age range as well. Makes the subtext about xenophobes being *****... well, quite nice to see actually.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

That 5 star Empire review intrigued us all I guess.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Me and Chris Hewitt both love Evil Dead II - I couldn't see what could go wrong.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Dracula: Untold

Should have been called Poor Pacing: Untold

Besides that, I thought it was perfectly serviceable. Not sure why it got shit on so much in the press.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Seems like the sort of thing Jake might have seen on one of his cinematic odysseys. Me, reimaginings of Bram Stoker stories are really not my thing. See also: Van Helsing. See also also: Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, which at least features Gary Oldman hamming it up and Keanu Reeves doing the worst English accent outside of Birmingham.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

It got shit press because it is a shit film

Though I was asleep from minute 14 up until minute 86 when I saw it.
