This movie is paced terribly and Fraser’s performance is board-stiff; Silverstone is grating and b**chy. Yet somehow, once it gets going, the story resonates deeply with the modern-fatigued viewer. It’s pretty telling that Christopher Walken first ventures out into the ‘post-apocalyptic’ world and encounters an aggressive tranny prostitute. Back then I guess that would have been considered hilariously absurd. Back then it would have.
Is the site/logins/accounts/user profiles bugged at the moment?
Based review
Pretty solid movie mired by Plaza’s reddit schtick but saved by Hugh
Hmmm, can’t seem to figure out what you’re referring to. Can you elaborate?
Yup, decided to return for awhile, because winterblues makes me watch films…. Yeah, I like that there are younger people, but naturally us boomers don’t care much for anything made after 2005 or so 😉 but seriously, films and series, kinda develop a whole new meaning when you enter your midlife, you either want quality or genuine novelty. Not that I mind, when I was much younger I used to hang out with older folks giving me music recommendations, this was well over 20 years ago. Learned a lot, I was still listening to Iron Maiden when I entered this old geezer forum full of people who liked progrock, indierock and what now gets called postpunk, in one year that expanded my musical knowledge. It was great, I still have all this knowledge on obscure bands that I use to troll younger people and boomers alike….
So yeah, youngersters are definitively going to go through this site, watch some old flick and go hmmm this isn’t bad, then they are going to forget they watched it, only to return to it when they are older. Such is life. I personally use this site primarily to find a film with a White cast, I actually found a lot of great films using this site alone, so naturally I will be returning in the future, just for that and hopefully for the bantz.
Great and accurate review. I’d just like to add that the movie is set in modern londen, with obvious implications.
lol
A F**KING LEAF
I wanna write a review on this but it has no IMDb page to import from. Anyways, for a hitpiece they did a horrible job. Made Spain look awesome and this is how I imagine you and Beertje Blauw:
“Inside Spain’s Fascism Fandom” – VICE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqKSXPiGe7U
Its my absolute favorite movie ever.
Word is that an official update for DOOM has just been released. You can fight online like 30 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-xswoPRpo

Video review with a contrarian (positive) recommendation. Argent claims that the movie isn’t woke, and the arguments show that it isn’t *explicitly*. Argents threshold for wokeness seems pretty tolerant of it, but his points stand.
Lots of spoilers in the review, Argent goes through pretty much the entire plot.
Awesome, thanks so much for your work! Although, just checking it now, I am logged in, but there’s no link on the review itself to edit/delete it. And when I go to my user profile I see the option ‘Edit Review’ (no option to delete tho) but when I click it nothing happens…
Heads up: There’s some woke stuff sprinkled throughout the film, though it’s not the main focus of the story.
Obviously a slav, lol stop pretending to be american.
The messaging in this is terrible >your dad is secretly an evil killer >family men with normal lives are secretly evil killers >mystery meat pop stars good
My phone slipped and I accidentally put 5 for fedora tipping. Sh*t.
Stunning and brave.
