Let's have a films thread.

Just answer the goddamn question Leicesterpool! Who would you cast in the Chuckle Brothers biopic?

I see it as a vehicle for Brangelina.

[sphericalfox]

Did they? I don't really recognize the names.

Cory Feldman?

 

Okay, he didn't really go on to a glittering career, but arguably he had the best career of all of the them in the 80's/ early 90's thus leading to his downward spiral.

[Ozwin]

River Phoenix would have been a star, I have no doubt about that, reading up on his death now and it's a pretty tragic tale really.

[Kitchandro]

Had no idea that it was Will Wheaton playing the main kid. Knew I recognized him from somewhere.

 

Shame the other kids didn't really go on to become stars, you'd have thought after that they could do whatever they wanted.

 

'The fat kid from Stand By Me is now married to Rebecca Romijn. Can you believe that? I swear to God. Look it up on the internet. Doesn't that piss you off?'

Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

[FoxesAreBlue]

Just watched Wall Street, the new one with the kid from Transformers.

It was gash, utter gash.

[21st Century Fox]

Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

 

Perfect, genius. They've played Vladimir and Estragon in Waiting for Godot together, so that chemistry should translate for the part of the biopic where they're waiting for their agent to phone.

 

Have you considered a career in casting?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

One of the best things I've ever seen.

 

As for the "fat kid" from Stand By Me... 

 

 

 

 

 

Quinn Mallory, yo!!

[pSinatra]

 

 

 

 

That is brilliant!!!  

 

Seems too good an opportunity to miss.  Someone ring their agents.

[Babylon]

Watched The World's End... I am hoping it's one of those films you get more from a second time as I was pretty disappointed.

 

Some funny moments, most of which had already been in the trailer.

I must admit, I didn't realize it could work so well. Maybe I do have a hidden talent for this sort of thing

Apocalypse Now, drags a bit dunnit? Felt like it could easily be an hour shorter.

Did you watch the Redux version? They added a lot of scenes that make it far too long and ruins the flow of the film. The original version is so much better.

[Kitchandro]

I think it's really overrated. The first 3rd was good, the 2nd 3rd was ok, but I found the last 3rd disappointing. In terms of vietnam films I liked Platoon and Full Metal Jacket a lot more.

The Runaways - biopic of Joan Jett & Cherie Curie

[The God Emperor]

watching robo cop. I dont think a film has made me like and hate a villian as much as Clarence Boddecker.

I hear their remaking robo cop, it will probably be awful though.

"just give me my fvcking phone call"

Birth of The Beatles on True Movies,Nick Cotton as George Harrison

Take Shelter. Michael Shannon is very good.

"just give me my fvcking phone call"

He's a great villain. "I don't like cops and cops don't like me.... Give the man a hand!"

[Bugg]

Watched "Only God Forgives", Nicolas Winding Refn's new film. I'm a bit underwhelmed by it to be honest considering I loved his previous work such as Drive, Valhalla Rising and the Pusher films.

[MC Prussian]

Director Steve McQueen is back:

[21st Century Fox]

Two new trailers to two very different films.... I wonder how much they paid to use that Zeppelin song.

 

 

[Ozwin]

Watched Grave of the Fireflies last night.

I swear I'll be clinically depressed this time next week at this rate.

[Finnegan]

Follow it up with My Neighbour Totoro and you'll be fine.
