Wow. where did last week go?
So 8 hour commute each way for a business meeting gave me time to catch up on some zzzâs but also a couple of movies on the plane, one each way.
Outbound I watched Thor Ragnarok.
Itâs kind of annoying, once again Marvel deliver a great movie, and solid entertainment, and Thor gets a haircut.
Itâs entertaining again as they always are, but.
Yeah, perhaps that should be BUT.
Asgar is under threat. Again.
And then there are the âIn-Jokesâ look I get them, they are funny, especially the 2 chicks who spot Thor & Loki on Earth and ask for a Selfie. BUT.
The list of actors they have signed up now means that you ask yourself IF they are being wasted. We see Dr Strange for what? a few seconds? Idris is clearly a hero in the story but how much screen time?
Itâs a very minor misgiving, not a moan, but something the core Universe have to be caareful of because Asgar is now gone and become Norway or something. And I didnât really care.
But itâs a great film.
On the way home finally got to see Bladerunner 2049.
Obviously a great film, obviously created superbly. A decent plot, homage to the core story. Clearly a 9 our of 10 film. But again I found myself asking if Mrs D_P (who would not have seen the original) would have understood it at all, and I think then it became maybe too âvagueâ. Which then made me wonder whether they were finally making the much needed sequel OR they were setting up to start a new âfranchiseâ?
So that annoying question then made the ending different. Then it opens up new doors, then it means weâll likely have Blade Runner 2051, 53 and so on. Which meant the film didnât give closure to the story. Bollocks.
Finallyh some light relief, a piece of utter nonsense on Netflix.
True Memoirs of an International Assassin
Kevin James as a cubicle worker who dreams of writing âAction Thrillersâ. Weâve seen thousands of these nonsense formulaic American movies not least of which was Tropic Thunder.
It was fomulaic, it was nonsense, weâve seen all the stunts gags and twists before. Theyâve always had a hot chick and a muppet hero. This is no different. But then tbh Zulay Heano is steamingly hot.
Iâm sure the two Dudes playing the deranged $17,000 a year CIA idiots have played the same roles hundred times.
But you know what, it was utter drivel nonsense.
And utterly stupid.
And of course we laughed at it because of that stupidity. In fact we really enjoyed itâs utter crapness.
Grab a beer chill out and have a laugh at Paul Blart Mall Cop doing a remake of Tropic Thunder as an Author not a Movie Star.
