Yeah he's blind that why he feels the guys face but Harry Styles didn't realise that and thought it was because the guy was ashamed of him. I nearly fully when we saw him realise he was getting a heroes welcome and some beer at the end.

Yeah that was great.

Ha. Nice one.

Fun fact the showing I saw had a trailer for the Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman as Churchill and shows a bit of the speech. The contrast between the two versions of it was extremely stark and Nolan made a cliché completely fucking real. That's the films greatest strength for me, it's actual poetry in some moments.

And if they aren't Jezebel et al will lump them in with the dudebros continually and vociferously until they maybe become one. Every ludicrous faction wins that way.

well played

I'll give a watch. Cheers.

Ooh yes I'd forgotten about that one but good call.

Brosnan basically did exactly that with November Man (which I've never seen - anyone who has, is it any good?).

I like Dave Bautista as the henchmen but he's dispatched too easily and it looks great (though not as good as Skyfall) but yeah everything else is rubbish.

Welp I'll shut the fuck up then because I've been saying that for years and now feel like a twat.

It's desperate to paint the growing left wing movement as actually right wing because the left wing movement genuinely threatens it's ability to make enormous profit.

No it definitely makes sense to make fun of all of them because even the ones with solid foundations can lead to people being so immersed in them they don't realise they are ideologues and that bubble needs piercing with humour.

You wouldn't think the Bond franchise could get the upper hand morally on other films but it does against Taken which sure presents a bunch of ethnic stereotypes for the main character to punch his way through just like Bond but Bond is knowingly, obviously a fantasy wish fulfilment. Whereas Taken keeps things juuuust…

Yup and the truck flip sequence (the only actual memorable bit of action) is pure second unit all the way. Nolan should never get props for action scenes he can't shoot them and he can't stage them properly. (Inception hallway fight excepted).

Disagree with your last sentence (I love Stardust and Kingsman). But yeah it's got a lot more on it's mind than Ritchies cockney crime capers even though it runs at a brisk pace and doesn't dwell on it.

I dread to think what Ritchie would have done with it. He's very much The Duke/Jimmy Price to Vaughn's XXXX/Eddie Temple.

I always love his reply to the question of how the guy in the bathroom died

Siena has possibly never looked more beautiful. I also love the intro with the car driving down the very narrow brick tunnel it looks sleek and old school at the same time. So good.

I'd have to go Skyfall - Spectre for that. Spectre is atrocious.
