Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

In one of the One's Ready podcasts (the one about PJs, I think) they mention briefly a movie called Kilo 2 Bravo, about an event in Astan in which PJs had been used. I looked it up, it's a Brit flick and available to stream for free online, so I watched it last night. I enjoyed it, less for the actual storyline (compelling in itself) than the platoon banter and platoon life. That it was a Limey movie made me miss the exchange I did with the Royal Marines, the accents that were hard to understand and the vocabulary about which I had not a clue.

If you're on a British bent at the moment you should look up Kajaki. Based on a real story and seems pretty faithful.

Saw Coppola’s most recent re-mastered version of The Godfather in a theater the other night; they got it right. The shadows, the shadows were jet black, cold. It is amazing how good of a job that film does in building suspense just with shadows and color.

The Godfather trilogy (well, 1 & 2) are some of my favorite movies.

Watched Dog tonight, it wasn't bad. But I'm curious what Rangers and dog handlers think.

We might see it Saturday. In-laws just offered to take the kids, wanted to see Dr Strange in IMAX but there's no seats for day's.

I'm neither but I did enjoy the movie.

I only watch movies at home on account of having to piss every 30 minutes.

I saw this yesterday & it's really great. Good to see someone not taking it all too seriously.

Do I have to go to a theatre to see that? Or is it elsewhere?

I gotta natural aversion to Nick Cage movies as a general rule. I also--at least in recent years--try to avoid Samuel L. Jackson, George Clooney, Matt Damon, John Goodman, Ben Affleck, Sean fucking Penn, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Hanoi Jane, Bendadick Cumabatch, any movie where James Franco is trying to be serious, Morgan Freeman, Robert DeNiro, Sylvester Stallone, Whoopie Goldberg and I'm on the fence with Tom Cruise.

All IMO either waay over exposed or has-beens or too freaking political.

So what you're really saying is, you don't watch a lot of movies.

Tons of movies without those dudes. Hanks, Pitt, Tom Hardy, Bale, Wahlberg, Rogen, Pacino, Pine, Fassbender, Ferrell, yadda yadda yadda

Anya Taylor-Joy...had never heard of her, but now I'm in love.

That aside, The Northman was fantastic. It was visually stunning, aside from some of the darker scenes, but that could be the projector since everyone seems to be digital nowadays. Kidman's performance was masterful.

I don't want to spoil it, so I can't speak of the film much, just that it didn't disappoint. Plenty of blood and gore as well as some interludes with the Seer.

Oh, you better like Alexander Skarsgård, this is his film. He is truly the Viking Berserker you imagine.

Worth seeing indeed.
