After the disappointment of "Out of Sight", to-night, I'm watching "Plane". This is an action thriller starring Gerard Butler, as a pilot whose plane is hit by lighting, and has to make an emergency landing.
The character must've been written for Butler. When speaking to his character's daughter he asks her to prepare "homemade haggis, neeps and tatties".
Then, when asked by the co-pilot if he was English, he replies "Hell no. I wouldn't lower myself to that. I'm Scottish." 😃
Watched Perfect Days (2023) by Wim Wenders. I liked it. Recommended if you like contemplative films like Paterson (2016) and/or Lost in Translation (2003).
The Glassworker is a really intriguing feature-length anime-style film from #Pakistan 🇵🇰.
As a friend of mine observed, the studio did some interesting design choices that obviously was meant to appeal to an international audience. The depicted nation appears to be fictional but has elements of European and Middle Eastern cultures in it.
Jennifer Lopez trapped in the boot of a car with George Clooney turned out to be the highlight of the movie. After that scene the humour (it was billed as an action comedy) very much dried up. Too much time spent watching hoodlums driving around in cars.
Clooney and Lopez had some chemistry, but, it wasn't enough to hold my attention.
If you're watching a film recorded in a language which you don't understand enough to follow the dialogue, what do you prefer to use to get a language that you do understand?
(I generally prefer dubbing, as I find subtitles require too much attention)
An overwhelming response for subtitles over dubbing in films, I thought subtitles were more popular but not 90%...
We discussed Mobile Suit Gundam I at film club last night, which only had subtitles (and unrelatedly came near the bottom of our ratings). Next up are Gozilla Minus One (just out on Netflix) and Star Wars: A New Hope (our 100th film, which one regular has never seen).
Happy #sunday Friends! 😀

4 Guys Co-op had a magnificent session of Serious Sam 4 the other night. We had struggled with level 9, A Breakfast in France. It was the 5th time we played it. What can I say - we like a challenge! It was our 2nd run thru and it wasn't looking good. We had 0 extra lives and I was last man standing. I had 16 hit points when I made a dash for the level end. There were monsters hard behind me but I hoped I could beat them to it. And I did just barely! Phew! #ComputerGames
M and I finished watching Dune Part 2. It was pretty great. Zendaya is amazing but I'm sorry, I don't see how Timothée Chalamet could be a rebel leader. Austin Butler was incredible as Feyd-Rautha. And I thought I recognized Anya Taylor-Joy in there briefly. Other notable #movies I've watched recently include Sisu (bloody amazing), The Zone of Interest (did not sleep well), and Eileen (slow burn to a great ending). Pretty good month for #movie watching. #films@movies
Just watched Oppenheimer. It felt like a three hour zoom meeting at work, only getting a bit of life thanks to the labrador getting into the picture (Albert Einstein) and a big bomb in the middle of the meeting. Otherwise rambling and ramblings by old men who I don't care about. This could have been an e-mail. #films
