Well that is a happy coincidence. Having read Lawrence in Arabia, the film Lawrence of Arabia is on Sky today. Hussah! Haven't seen that in donkeys years so will have to give that a go.

I love that film - got it on special edition DVD when I used to live in UK - just awesome acting and directing.

"The Last Waltz"

SPOILER ALERT

Okay, okay. So I stuck with Westworld for all 10 episodes.

Now, can someone please tell me what in the name of Bonaparte's balls was that all about? [X(]

I mean the last episode was great an' all, but what the hell did it all mean?

Just a few of the questions going round in my head:

- Who is Wyatt?
- Over how many years did all this happen? William seems to have aged about 30-40 years but Ford hasn't changed (apart from that little snippet when he was walking between rooms).
- Is Ford dead?
- Hell, is Arnold really dead?
- Have the hosts turned on the humans or are we just watching one big new narrative?

Confused of London [&:]

...either no one watching or they're not saying.....

anyways.....

With all the talk about Dunkirk the movie, over the weekend I watched two ball bouncingly brilliant films:

- Battle of Britain
- The Great Escape

The former I watch circa once a year and is simply one of the best war films ever made, the latter I hadn't seen since I don't know when. But boy was it good to see it again. A brilliantly scripted and acted film. 11/10

So. You disagree with Mr. Ebert's well constructed critique of the former? [;)]

Just finished watching the first season of The Expanse. I was hesitant after the first couple of episodes but it grow on me. Now I eagerly await the next season. A gritty, dark, SF for adults, is just what was needed for the long December evenings. [:)]

My wife grew up in New Mexico, where she befriended Daniel Abraham from an early age. They still regularly keep in touch.

Not at all - I am actually coming round to his way of thinking. I like the methodology he uses to rate films and centres on what is important.

Using his tried and trusted genius I have now reviewed The Godfather.

I conclude the Godfather as a film is a stinking pile of doggy doo. Notice in one scene the director Francis Ford "Captain Bleedin' Obvious" Coppola uses a tool that went out of fashion with those rubbish phony war films of the 1940's. Yes, Ford actually directs a scene in the film where Mikkey (Al Pacino) stares moodily out into space, while Kay (Diane Keaton) looks pensive on the seat behind.

Re - freaking - diculous. Hopefully the Oscars won by this bilge will be returned.

The Expanse season 1 and 2 is based off of the first book in the series: Leviathan Wakes by "James S. A. Corey" (a nom de plume). Don't read it if you don't want spoilers for the (upcoming in February) second season, Orm. [8D]

Thank you for the warning. [:)]

Although now I am a bit torn. I usually think it is better to read the book before watching the film or series than the other way around. But with this series I am not that sure. [:D]

Edit: Nice that second season arrives as soon as February.

I'll tease you further. The book was a nominee for the 2012 Hugo award (Sci Fi's best book of the year), so you'll want to read it eventually. Do you want to wait for 6 months?

After the bitter disappointment with last years Star Wars film I quite enjoyed Rogue One.

Also enjoyed Deepwater Horizon aswell. tragic

Did you see the extended Dunkirk trailer before Rogue One? It has been shown that way here stateside.

Just seen Paddington with the little warspites. Wow! What a stonkingly good film! I expected it to be sweet, but it was also laugh out loud funny.

9.5/10 Superb [&o]

P.S And Nicole Kidman's still got it too.....

Surprised you didn't see it in the theatres a couple years ago. We enjoyed it as well.

Any particularly good Nicole Kidman pix that should be posted on the Australian Beauties thread?
