[rextheute]

Outlaws on Netflix , not a bad story - Spanish with dubbing or subtitles
Spoiled Brats - funny an take your brain out - Italian - subtitles
Cowboy Bebop - liked it , Filmed in NZ so some random sets / vehicles / actors .

i did ride my bike , but only a little bit

Outlaws is great if you like half finished movies with huge plot leaps with no explanation - lol - watched it all buoyed it then got angry at it - even had to hunt down the English translation of the book to try and satisfy some of my questions

No, I haven't. Authors are seldom satisfied with film adaptations though. You can't keep the high-brow of their literature when you render it as a popcorn flick.

Was wondering if anyone could cite an example where the author (who wasn't involved in the production/directing of a movie) has stated that they thought the movie did the book justice. I'm sure it's happened, but I can't think of any.*




*Which is a stupidly low bar to set, given I watch fuck all movies and read about them even less.

While he thought that Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Dracula was a bit hacky, it turns out that Bram Stoker "really, really fucking loves"* the 'Blade' movies**

I'm pretty sure Tolkien sang many praises about Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film series.

New Matrix is entertaining. It is more of a love story that draws back to the story of the original so not much new. I was expecting it to be super crap.
I think the next matrix should be a spoof that takes the piss out of the whole franchise.

yeah i kind of liked it as well. Wasn't a terrible movie, of which i have seen plenty of due to covid.

didnt watch the new venom lastnigth - wife wants to see it and shes on night shift till new year. Did watch " a most dangerous game" - trashy movie, avoid.

New spacejam. Not a good way to pass 2 hours, rewatching the first one yet again would be better.

I was all set to watch an English comedy in 5 parts but the cast walked out very early on in the 3rd.

Hahahahahah , are we married ? My other half said the same , except for I give a shit about findng the book .

annd I forgive it as it is ‘ Spanish , ‘ like Italian and French films suspend some aspects of the plot and go with it .

Swedish and dark noir from that end of Europe is more - “ fact - Ty “

I actually liked the movie is the worst part - it really really bothered me as to why the policeman did what he did in the end - there is ZERO explanation - I wanted to know

Ahhh, see I think he was one of the good guys - he wasn’t corrupt like the others .
His fathers argument was “ I can straighten him out - remember the bit about the father would have had a criminal record which meant the nice life he had as a civil servant would have evaporated .

And as BohDi ( I saw him as ) said - you have choices . We do not .
note the contrast between nachos nice home environs, and the home of Tere

ps , I liked the story - well shot , good backgrounds/ props etc .
yes a leap to the storyline , but it’s a movie .

And I could have lived with that as an explanation EXCEPT - He seemed to change his mind after looking the photograph on the wall - He appeared to have some recognition of the figure in the picture and his demeanor changed straight after that - i needed to know why the picture was of significance?

this sounds like a bad case of "you need to write a letter"

Its ok I learnt Spanish and read the Book - Fun Fact the movie is only the first half of the book - the second half of the book explains the bits he talks about that prison at the end.
