Just started watching Persuasion (see Hetzer above post) and I must say I was a bit disappointed at the rather frugal cleavage offerings ...... But then, whats this? Well helloooo Lady Penelope, we are so charmed with your presence

Persuasion
Worst film ive seen in years. Truly crap in every way. Laughable it was so poorly scripted, directed and acted.

TG:Maverick 7/10
i was expecting more after all the positive reviews its had. but then compared to the quality of most of the films that are released these days i can see why its rated so high.

Whats RRR?

[hellkat]

Was it a bollywood thing? I don't actually know.

There were a few exuberant bouts of joyful singing/dancing, some epic and quite gory battles/torture scenes, often hilarious, a LOT of CGI, and heroes that even I cheered for.

It was very long, but surprisingly enjoyable.
The guy playing the Governor (or whatever pompous British Empire character he was) reminded me of my mate Tiny.

you might hate it

I think it was the warning about the wild animal scenes being done by CGI is what captured me - the tigerrrrrs!

I might have also been captured by the scene with the policeman prospect (?apprentice? what do they call apprentice policemen?) - he had attractively fierce eyes whilst he was doing his stuff

But I would possibly watch another one, just to see if the genre is always that entertaining.

I just watched DOG on Amazon Prime.
About a Gulf war veteran taking his captain's war-dog (barking mad, literally ) back to his funeral.
Sad in places, but not what you think.
Feelgood sorta thing but not too corny.
... a couple of genuine lol moments.
Some great scenery down the California coast

I watched 'I came by' on Netflix.

It was OK-ish apart from the blatant woke messages.

Apart from the usual white colonial guilt, it's clear from the start when the hero steals a tenner off a middle class guy waiting for a train, to give to a beggar.

I just think there's a downside to where that £10 might go which is ignored.

and whos to say the beggar is genuine.
plenty of chancers round my way pretending to be homeless.

One of the better 90s sci-fi fliks.
