Not really sure what the problem is with what I said. I feel the same way about British actors doing bad American accents in films. Either cast an American, or let them speak in their own accent. Or hire an actor that can do a good job of the accent required. Or are we just pretending that vocal performance isn't a component of acting? As I said, I'd probably prefer her to be speaking in her native tongue (presumably Hebrew?) with subtitles, or hire another actor who can convincingly act and speak in English (or Greek with subtitles). |

But she's not trying to do an American accent, she's speaking English in her own (I presume) accent, I assume she was cast to show that she's not American, English, Australian whatever, to show she's from somewhere else, you can perfectly understand what she's saying so I don't really see a problem with it. |

Circle (2015, on Netflix): 15 to 1 with a twist because there are 50 people. But, no questions. Or William G. Stewart. It is nothing like 15 to 1. I really liked it. Unlike 15 to 1, that's shit. |

Arrival is so very, very good. Actual Science Fiction rather than 'an Action film in space'. Thoughtful, beautiful, elegant. Deserves a cinema viewing. (But a dark cinema, it has lots of great low light scenes, that a shitty cinema might take the edge off.) |

To the point that Marvel Comics refuse to create new X-men, or mutant characters in general, and aren't really doing much at all with the Fantastic 4. Squirrel Girl has been revealed to not be a mutant recently, so Fox can't have her. It's even possible that the next big crossover event will do away with the X-men... Replacing them with the Inhumans. I'm guessing the feeling within Marvel is 'we can't use them in our movies, what's the point?' |

Dunno what's going to happen to the X-Men film series, given that McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence and that guy who plays beast all signed a (now completed) three film contact. Obviously we've got Logan and Deadpool 2 on the horizon, but I think the main series is really losing steam, and if they can't at least get McAvoy and Fassbender back, they'll be in trouble. Jennifer Lawrence isn't a bad actor, but they keep giving her rubbish material, and don't really have a clue what to do with Mystique. I can't see her doing another one, but who knows. |

I don't think I've watched many of the old Bond films as a yoof so I watched Gold Finger for the first time. I mostly just enjoyed how Bond saves the day by shagging one of the villains at the end. |

I enjoyed it, but yes Contact is the far better film. How bloody good is Contact? They are pretty different, but there's enough overlap to invite the comparison. |

I watched THE NICE GUYS a couple of evenings ago, which I know was favourably mentioned in this thread a few months ago. It was very good I thought, also very 'Shane Blackey' so if you didn't like KISS KISS BANG BANG this won't change your mind. Gosling and Crowe have great onscreen chemistry, and I love Keith David too. Not sure if I'd say it was better or worse than KKBB (which I haven't watched for quite some time, maybe I need to rewatch it first), but it was a splendid watch and made me LOL several times. Really good work on making everything very 70s-esque too. Cars were very cool in this time period. ALSO FAT RUSSELL CROWE he won't be Gladiatroring anything any time soon that's for sure. Unless there are some pies that need taking care of with extreme prejudice. |

The Nice Guys is excellent but I don't think it's quite as good as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang; then again I think Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a fucking masterpiece. (I love Shane Black. I love Downey Jr. I love Raymond Chandler. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang could have been made for me.) |

Films I've watched recently ... Deadpool - Very good dialogue but suffers a bit like Man of Steel in that watching near-invincible characters fighting is boring. Guardians of the Galaxy - Everyone seems to love it but I didn't think much of the trailer so I've been putting it off for ages. Now I've finally seen it, I thought it was ok, but nothing more Nineteen Eighty-Four - Interesting rather than entertaining. John Hurt is very good though, particularly during the torture scenes. Last night I put Hitman:Agent 47 on for a bit, but switched it off after ten minutes. I thought Timothy Olyphant made a better Agent 47, so I'll just stick with that version. |
