Ooooo Kula World was a banger, I might have to revisit that one now.

Re: 407: Super Mario RPG (: Legend of the Seven Stars)

Fingers crossed it joins the service, but I doubt it'll be in time for the show. Wasn't it a collaboration with Square, maybe that's why they couldn't put it on. But then it was on SNES mini wasn't it? But there aren't any Square games on Switch Online when you'd expect some of them, so maybe they'...

IIRC The timelines are:

De Niro telling the story in the Old folks home

De Niro and Pesci driving to the wedding

Everything leading up to that car ride (completely linear)

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I've watched the first half of The Irishman on Netflix, and I've got to admit, I'm not loving it. I'm a big fan of the genre, love the cast, but honestly...? I'm actually struggling to follow it. It seems to be one random scene after another. I understand DeNiro in the chair at the old people's hom...

Taxi Driver Goodfellas King Of Comedy Raging Bull Mean Streets Cape Fear The Irishman After Hours I could imagine a few of these swapping around on a re-watch but Taxi Driver is my favourite and always will be.

Re: Forum Changelog and Forum Suggestions

Since I joined I've really enjoyed reading all of ThirdMan's posts on film and it encouraged me to crack on with films I've been putting off for years. Sending love his way, it sounds like he's doing the right thing for him and I wish him all the best.

Re: Well Twitter has been interesting today hasn't it.

Honestly, this culture war-ification of politics makes me despair sometimes. How anyone could listen to C&R and the main takeaway be the 'politics' of the hosts just boggles the mind. My feelings exactly. For a lot of these people just saying the words sexism or racism makes you a left-wing ext...

Re: Companion media

I remember after the last time I watched Unforgiven My favourite film of all time. Have you seen the 2013 Japanese remake? Sticks very close to the Eastwood version and given that some of the most famous Westerns are remakes of Japanese films I thought this was an interesting reversal. gj3gwo01Pf4 ...

Can't help with your question, Jay, but yeah I do this too. I spent most of my Red Dead Redemption 2 playthrough watching Sergio Leone films and listening to Mexican rock. I remember after the last time I watched Unforgiven I had a real itch to play some Red Dead Redemption and clear out a bar or t...

Re: Companion media

It sounds like you want something a bit closer to the game and I'm sure you've seen it but for near-future dystopia I'd go for Children of Men. For something a bit more obscure I've been meaning to watch No Blade of Grass (1970). I don't really know if it's worth a watch to be honest but I enjoyed t...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Spider-Man continues to delight and frustrate in equal measure. There are various points where you don't play as spider-man and they are so dull and frustrating it takes away from what is a great super hero game. Combat is fun and the story hasn't been overly predictable I hope they twist Doc Ock o...

You were never really here woah! This was really good. It's totally captivating, keeps you guessing right until the end. Amazing direction and there isn't an ounce of fat on it.

I saw Alien! It released less than a year after Halloween.
haha good point, I guess I was really just thinking of early slasher films rather than horror in general.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

@Caligulas Horse maybe I was lucky but the whole room was strangely silent as if everyone was watching it for the first time. You have made me question whether I should risk it again though... I think you shouldn't worry about it too much, I was probably just unlucky with that crowd and it probably...

it was like most of the audience were just there to take the piss out of it That can be a problem.

I shuffled up a few sea...
