Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

Movie Tickets 
..were approximately $3.75 to $4.25 when Star Wars came out. I saw it seven time in the theaters. The first time with my parents at a drive-in theater! I got $10 a week allowance back then for vacuuming the house and dusting. So I paid for most of those showing myself.

The thing is there are millions of Star Wars fans who loved the last movie - worldwide. Han Solo not played by Harrison Ford is a tough sell though and franchise fatigue is real. I have zero hope for any good Star Wars picture from here on out. 
 
So what did you all think of Overlord? Close enough wolfenstein movie? 
 
Rocketman (2019)

A very sweet, and also apparently very faithful biopic. Started to lose me in the middle a bit, since "millionaire artist has depression" is hardly the world's most original story, but the ending is such a fucking strong air punch moment. 
Overlord = Wolfencheap 
Some recollection here and there. Has moments during the first 30 minutes. Small french village under nazis, aka lots of déjà vu. Not enough paranormal or gore. No sexy ss Elite Guard dominatrix AT ALL. No Deathshead. Way to much blah blah instead of action. Trivial cast and script.

This flick is a silly Wolfenstein-inspired PG-13 production. Disappointing.

Nazi Gold Train, Ghost Town or Tower of Death segments of Reader's Digest-like Mysteries of the Abandoned docu series spill much more Wolf vibes than Overlord. Just to say. 
Alita 
So, Battle Angel Alita live action
Was enjoyable enough, 6/10, would of gotten a 8/10 had it not completely omitted what is a major part of the source material -> HUMOR

Such missed opportunity, even a couple well placed 3 second silly macho-body malfunctions scenes with bewildered expression from its owner would of done the trick and had no negative consequence to what the movie wanted to present. 
Prometheus < Covenant 
what is your opinion? 
Overlord 2018 
I enjoyed it, felt more like CoD WWII zombies based than Wolfenstein based 
Overlord 
okay, but I had bigger hopes for it based on theme and some of the people involved. still pretty good and has its moments. 
Dear Fuck. 
I've just seen episode one of Years and Years (HBO) and I think I just had a small panic attack. 
John Wick 3 
was ok 
Star Wars 
Not seen it myself but if you want to discuss it, including sharing spoilers, we've got a dedicated sub-channel on discord : https://discord.gg/d5mytUj

Very good so far. Shaping up to be far more than just a Breaking Bad spinoff.


It is so, so much more than just a Breaking Bad prequel. Not as rich in the pure high-stakes, life-or-death action, but plenty richer in the subtext and the overall meaning of the story.

Jimmy McGill's arc is pretty depressing... until you take a clear look at everything and realise that he brought everything onto himself, ever the bitter loser. It's actually interesting how much his story follows that of Walt, only that Jimmy is more relatable (at least early on).

It's not without its weaker moments (I thought season 2 was treading water, and there's probably too much focus on Mike's storyline) but as it remains it continues to be some of the best television.
