Nope but you HAVE thrown a clue in there.

 

[hibbybilly]

Is it Chris Eubank? And the surprise is him pronouncing the title.

He's wrote a book about ethics, if it sells well he's writing another one about Kent.

There's also Fawsome and Prime, actually too much choice, start looking for something and end up fuckin miles away watching a totally different thing.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Enjoying this film. Cabrini was the first Canonised Saint in America.


Cabrini
Is a 2024 American biographical drama film directed by Alejandro Gómez Monteverde and written by Rod Barr, based on a story by both.

The film depicts the life of Catholic missionary Francesca Cabrini, portrayed by Cristiana Dell'Anna, as she encounters resistance to her charity and business efforts in New York City.

Cabrini explores the sexism and anti-Italian bigotry faced by Cabrini and others in New York City in the late 19th century.

jimmy, i winnae be looking that one up any time soon, that sounds shite mate.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

It was actually a good story about Five Points. Obviously it's 'based' on a true story.

But she set up one of New Yorks finest hospitals where the wealthy paid for care and the money garnered provided care for the poor.

Was there gratuitous violence or sex or drug taking or drunkeness. or a laugh or two? Things getting blown up? if no, its shite jimmy. and youre retired now, and you no got the time for shite films. Youve only got time for shite pints and shite fitba.... (and yer braw wee grandbairns)

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Oh a bit drunkenness as well. (In the film. No me this time).

I've decided to revisit films I either didn't understand the popularity or just didn't like.

The decision will be...
1: Still shit.
2: Aye ok no bad but nothing special.
3: Love it, what was I thinking.
Tonight is Catch 22. 23:48 in and it's binned...still shit!

Welcome all comments and recommendations for what you feel are classics. My next two will be Blues bros and Shawshank.

Wes Anderson’s films are quite highly regarded but I think they’re fucking shit. The Royal Tennenbaums, The Life Aquatic, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Darjeeling Limited etc. Try too hard to be wacky and twee but with very little in the way of laughs. I’ve only watched the first 2 all the way through right enough. Asteroid City was his latest one I think.

So am I but I’m more of a Star Trek fan

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Never watched a star Trek film. Then my grandson stayed overnight. He wanted to watch the last one I think it was. Fuck me it was about 3 hours long.

Even he got bored

Here when even a 16 year auld got bored I feel justified.

 

[Two Headed Boy]

The Matrix. I just dinnae understand it.

I've never got the big deal. It's just the Terminator rise of the machines trope with the Star Wars chosen one bollocks tacked on innit.

His are a mixed bag for me. I liked Rushmore, Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tennenbaums but found Life Aquatic and Fantastic Mr Fox deeply irritating.

Quirky is a fine balance. Enough is endearing but too much is cringe. Coen Brothers movies fall into that category for me too. Fargo is one of my all time favourites but the likes of Burn After Reading can get in the bin.

Quirky is the word I was searching for! Agree on Cohen Bros movies, Fargo and No Country for Old Men = absolute classics. Oh Brother, Where Art Though = garbage. Big Lebowski I’m not a massive fan of but at least it was watchable.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Oh Brother, aw Where Art Thou had a good soundtrack though

 

[Wishbone]

A slighty weird but excellent film and I thought The Soggy Bottom boys were ace!

Oh Brother is my fav movie of all time.
A classic.
And the music was braw

Maybe one I should revisit then.

Enjoyed the book ... Joseph Heller?
Can't really remember the film much, although I think Art Garfunkel was in it and Alan Arkin played the lead guy Yossarian.
So I definitely saw it!

I remember Arkin in Freebie and the Bean which I think I enjoyed too, but can't remember details of.

Must try watching films without accompanying them with large glasses of alcohol.

Sadder for me is revisiting films I thought were great but are in fact shit.

Salvador was the most brutal example. Until recently I’d have said it was one of my favourite films based on youthful recollection. But on a rewatch what I recalled as nerve shredding and harrowing was like a shit tv movie.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

This was a decent watch ......


Sin nombre


Sin nombre (English: "Nameless") is a 2009 adventure thriller film written and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, about a Honduran girl trying to immigrate to the United States, and a boy caught up in the violence of gang life.

 

[Hibee Kev]

Equaliser 3 - the first one was IMO a classy action flick and this one is too. Switch off your brain and enjoy.

Here's a wee film with Bernard Hill in it.....

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Watching the above film just now. It's a decent watch.

Two mobs of pensioners

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

Just put on the new Ghostbusters film and about to guzzle some cheeky wee Peronis

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

The new Ghostbusters is pretty pony. Or maybe I'm just a torn faced auld git now.*

*Answers not appreciated ,

Oh aye, its guff. I took the wee one to see it with some free tickets I got through the work and still felt bumped. Even she thought it was crap and she watches the Sonic the Hedgehog films on a near weekly basis.

There is only one good Ghostbusters film really.
