UKFilmNerd, to movies in When did a movie or a show misrepresent the country or city you live in?
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

The only one that comes to mind is a film called The 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle.

There was a group of us at a job many, many years ago performing a survey of Liverpool. One night in the hotel, Channel 4 broadcast the film, which is set in the city. The following morning, two of the guys who had been surveying all the backstreets and alleyways commented that the chase in the film made no sense to them. This was because they could see the cars were jumping to different spots in the city, and it wasn’t coherent.

But I guess you could make that comment about a lot of car chases in the movies.

UKFilmNerd, to uk_politics in Rishi Sunak says sorry for leaving D-day events early to record TV interview
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Rishi may have the brains to run a company (maybe) but his public interaction of any kind is atrocious. I listened to the full five-minute apology, and it sounded utterly false. Every time he speaks, not just this apology, you can tell it has been scripted, especially when he’s asked a question, and he replies with the identical repetition of something he’s already said.

The amount of times he said the same sentence about the fact the itinerary was already set weeks ago. So you were always planning to leave early? I hope some evidence turns up to prove that he allegedly wasn’t going to go to France at all. This is what the French government were told a few weeks ago, apparently.

Finally, don’t make this political!? Too fucking late mate.

UKFilmNerd, to retrogaming in Half-Life Was 95% Ready for Dreamcast
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

I swear I downloaded and played Half Life for the DC back when I had the machine. I think it was Blue Shift which was originally going to be on the DC first (as an exclusive?).

It was perfectly fine to play but I guess due to hardware limitations, the areas in which you played weren’t that large and loading times off the CD was quite slow.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in Pixar’s "INSIDE OUT 2" will get a 100-day theatrical run before it hits streaming.

I read somewhere the other day that things aren’t going well and they’re thinking of rebooting old IPs like The Incredibles.

Is going back to past hits a good idea?

UKFilmNerd, to movies in Saturday Movie Night: Galaxy Quest
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

I’d love to see the original cut, there’s clearly hints that there was more adult humour in there.

Also, if you’re into that kind of thing, I highly recommend the “No Retreat, No Surrender” retrospective documentary.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

The phenomenon is now so ubiquitous that flaws are apparent even in trailers for unreleased movies, such as the forthcoming remake of The Crow.

This is a little unfair. It’s well known that the marketing department will take and use the best shots as long as it looks good enough.

I found out recently that a poor guy on Speed (1994) had to rush through a CGI shot of the gap in the bridge for the bus jump.

You can see the difference between the trailer and the final film below.

UKFilmNerd, to uk_politics in Nigel Farage has milkshake thrown over him after launching general election campaign
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

There’s a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

Woman threw milkshake over Farage is OnlyFans model

The woman who hurled a milkshake over Nigel Farage as he launched his campaign to become an MP is a Jeremy Corbyn-supporting OnlyFans model who hails from a family of Brexiteers, MailOnline can reveal.

Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested by police on suspicion of assault after she drenched the new Reform leader as he stepped out of a Wetherspoons in Clacton, Essex.

Dramatic pictures show how the mother-of-one dodged Mr Farage’s burly minders before flinging the contents of a McDonald’s cup towards him. It caught him full in the face.

Mr Farage, who previously dubbed Clacton the ‘most patriotic’ town in Britain, merely wiped his eyes and continued.

Speaking from his home in nearby Jaywick, her Brexit-voting brother Paul told MailOnline: ‘I have just seen it, and to be honest, I’m appalled. I don’t know where she is. I don’t want anything to do with her.’

Despite posting a video on X with the caption ‘my milkshake brings all the people to the rally’ in reference to the 2003 song Milkshake, Farage admitted it was ‘quite frightening’.

Thomas, who is an OnlyFans model with more than 18,100 followers on Instagram, appears to be a Labour supporter, previously pledging her support to Keir Starmer’s party

The incident has led to wide condemnation from MPs all across the political spectrum including Labour’s Yvette Cooper who called it a ‘disgrace’ and ‘completely unacceptable and wrong’.

But Thomas-Bowen, who films her x-rated video clips in the spare bedroom of her mother’s £260,000 house in Grays, told the BBC she flung the banana milkshake because she ‘just felt like it’.

‘He doesn’t stand for me’, the self-described ‘petite blonde pocket rocket’ added. ‘He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here.’

She previously voiced her support for Jeremy Corbyn on Facebook and called for Britons to boycott the late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Last November, the model flew out to Istanbul for a nose job.

She told her subscribers she underwent the procedure to make her nose ‘smaller’ and ‘prettier’.

Posting pictures of her recovery - and showing off the difference before and after - Thomas-Bowen said she loved her new nose ‘so much’ and was already breathing better.

‘My milkshake brings all the people to the rally!’ Farage jabs back

Mr Farage was flanked as usual by burly security as he left a pub, but they could do nothing as the women flung the contents of what appeared to be a McDonald’s cup towards him


They’re was a lot more but I think you get the gist. It was mostly pro farage stuff.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The worse one, the bottom, is from the trailer.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in Alien: Romulus | Official Trailer | In Cinemas Aug 16th
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

The backstory was shocking and insane and Killian’s artwork was amazing, I loved his style. I’ll never forget that one scene where the hero tells the doctor to go to hell, and he simply replies something like, “nope, already been there.”

I also remember the brilliant artwork of Dennis Beauvis for Aliens: Book Two, which was the first comic I saw when it was serialised in a magazine here in the UK. Another story of a mad military commander who thinks he has the aliens under control, which he can control like an army.
