Covid-19 film club

[El Guepardo]

Pixar's Onward is brill and not just for kids

I thought it was ok. It has a lot of heart, but it’s definitely not in my top ten of Pixar films.

2m apart, I hope

I think that’s between me and Scara to negotiate

I use NowTv for my Sky package. Probably more expensive but prefer flexibility to cancel at any point. They emailed me, and told me that the next 6 months will be free for me. So I’m going to start going through the content. Are we starting this film club with a selected film? Or are we just naming films?

We're asking for nominations and choosing one each week. First up is Inglorious Basterds.

How the fudge did they convince Scarlett Johansson to do Under the Skin?

It's a great book, and a straightforward adaptation would have made a good film.

I highly recommend the amazon prime series "Hunters" with Al Pacino. It contains quite a few disturbing moments, but it's a brilliant series!

Thanks, but I was disappointed with their list... not much on there that grabbed me.
Am currently watching Midnight Cowboy but it just seems a bit...odd/clunky/stupid. I guess it was groundbreaking at the time

Right. So are we all watching Inglorious Basterds this weekend?

Under the Skin is a great film as it is

Man with Bjork avatar in “liking things that are pretty but make no sense” shock.

The series Hunter is in the same mould. Very Quentin Tarantino inspired! B-movie style exaggerated, crazy characters, a bit of humor mix with outright horrific scenes. And Al Pacino in his best role in years!
I highly recommend it. Don't know if it's available on any other platform than Amazon Prime though.

I’ll watch it, it’s a great film, one of the best three Tarantino movies. Always good to watch it again.

Excellent film, but now superseded by reality. Beria never went as far as saying that Uncle Joe was in good spirits, didn't have pneumonia and was being displayed in his coffin to the public as a simple precaution.
