> live action pikachu movie

who asked for this ffs

Cant wait for that lol.

BTW I watched Arrival. An interesting film. Very Interstellar-ish, a better version of Interstellar in some ways, (its just me, so interstellar fans please take no offense).
Has anyone read the book its based on? Curious to learn how a writer could possibly write something like this, you know what I mean, the different

SPOILER:

It would require one helluva a control over language juggle with the words and still keep all the suspense in tact.

Wow, that sounds impressive. Heard that the story won him a big award back in 2000.

Looks like a copy can only be bought on amazon online.

by McAgger Thu 1 Dec - 20:40:25

It's a short story not a book. So shouldn't take more than an hour or two to read if you are interested.

I haven't read it myself.

by El Gunner Thu 1 Dec - 20:55:38

Yea I know. Still though you should know that I'm a reaaaaally slow reader Laughing

by McAgger Thu 1 Dec - 20:59:15

I'm guessing this is the kind of story you'll have to read extra slow and actively think about meaning of every paragraph to get the full pleasure.

Won't read it until I'm in my 60s retired and got nothing better to do.

by CBarca Thu 1 Dec - 23:09:52

Looks like something I can read over winter break hmm

Children of Men (2009)

It was as good as you guys said. Certainly one of the most powerful films I have seen. Fantastic from the start to finish.

What made it even better was that the events shown are arguably what realistically could happen if an event similar to that arise. It makes you think about how fragile are the morals we have placed and how low humans can go during their worst. Everything felt so realistic. Loved the fact that for once it wasn't a Tom Cruise kinda guy assisting some Jennifer Lawrence through prime NYC while making out along the way and everything just falling to pieces for them. And it showed brutality without remorse. There was no 'get out of the jail card'. Characters just died like they normally would. No melodrama. No forced Drama.

That scene where Theo and Kee start walking down the hospital with the baby crying. That was haunting man.

Michael Caine was brilliant. Pull my finger Sad

Definitely a film I will always remember.

9/10

by El Gunner Sat 3 Dec - 9:54:18

Watched two solid 4/5s yesterday.

Oldboy director's The Handmaiden.
and
Southside With You

by Onyx Sat 3 Dec - 18:55:51

Fugitive was a good movie imo. Think I've watched too many cop chase on the run type movies though. Need one with a unique story like the game.

by RealGunner Sat 3 Dec - 18:57:43

hmm, you might like 'Panic Room' but I am not sure. Give it ago anyways. Really suspenseful if anything.

by Onyx Sat 3 Dec - 20:58:19

How about No Country for Old Men and Gone Girl? hmm

by McAgger Sat 3 Dec - 22:27:00

MT you're gonna love Gone Girl.

But even more so you'll love The Gift. It's everything you love in a film. Great suspense/mystery/thriller.

Also watch Playtest (Black Mirror 3rd episode of this season). Another suspenseful thriller.

by Onyx Sat 3 Dec - 23:34:21

Added The Gift of Jericho and Gone Girl to the list. hmm

by McAgger Sat 3 Dec - 23:54:25

What about Playtest you pos?

by Onyx Sun 4 Dec - 1:30:17

Gonna watch Black Mirror from the start. hmm

Suggestions here all good?

+1 Panic Room.

Kept thinking why they didn't just go in the morning and calmly negotiate with the family for their stuff. hmm

They could have easily shared the money but greed is a thing. Also the 3rd guy (gun guy) was always going to kill the other two so there is that.

Glad you liked it.
