 Re: Good films..
Agreed with most of what you said, but I wasn't too bothered with the conclusion of Gurney's arc. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the fight between him and Rabban was kept so short and sweet. A lesser director would have made it an extended scene, but that would have been unnecessary bloat for an already long movie. It speaks to Villeneuve's discipline (and that he probably didn't get too much pressure from the studio). I saw Godzilla Minus One last night, and it was really really good. It's funny though, I was expecting a Michael Bay like monster movie, but it was really a very human centered story about trauma, guilt and redemption. The Japanese are pretty weird but they also know how to make good movies that are more than just flashy CGI.

 Re: Good films..
Hm... ok, perhaps I'll give that a try then. Thanks for the recommendation. I think it's on Netflix, so I'll give it a shot.

 Re: Good films..
First time to the cinema since 2019 for us yesterday! We went to see Deadpool & Wolverine; if you enjoyed the other Deadpool films (or any of the super hero films) you'll probably enjoy this. Don't expect an in-depth, super amazing story. The one bit of story they did put in was quite weak to be honest but that's not the point of the film. It is a huge love letter, and also, being Deadpool, a huge fuck you, to super hero films, Fox, comics, fan bases etc. Just all round stupid, funny and a few moments that just leave you nodding in agreement.
Also 10 hours after we'd seen it I was listening to music on YouTube and put on the Celine Dion track from Deadpool 2. For those who don't know it, at the end of the video Deadpool comes out and tells her to do it worse because it's not for Titanic, just Deadpool. She tells him tough luck, you only get good and he says "I knew we should've asked NSync". I groaned with joy as I realised Deadpool 3 opens with an NSync track. Well played guys, well played.

 Re: Good films..
Must say i didn't hear anything about this film or the actresses or the drama, seems like we should keep it that way.

 Re: Good films..
I watched Mickey 17 this past weekend for my sister's birthday. It was... not so great. I wouldn't recommend watching it for anything less than free.  For free it's ok, which is not a very strong recommendation. I'm actually a little disappointed with cinema lately... there have not been a lot of really strong movies. It's very unfortunate. If there were a good time for distraction, now is it.
