TV/Movies Megathread

I took my niece who was then 6 to see The Lion King. We're making plans to go see the live action; she's 30 now. And no HVC, you can't have her.

Crazy Heart 2009.

Jeff Bridges is a aging alcoholic country singer who never made the big time.  He hooks up with single mom Maggie Gigglyhall.  The plot is pretty minimalist: they hook up, he loses her son in a mall, she throws him under the bus, he goes into rehab.  But the performances and script are great.  Bridges got a best actor nominee and he deserved it.  The shyness and the awkwardness of a 60 something has been with a many times wounded 30 something single mom is really well done.

Yeah I liked it too, but I can hardly recall one scene from the film. 

Though didn't he do his own singing?

Bohemian Rhapsody - The main actor takes some getting used to. He really seems rather retarded at first. Just... Odd.
But pretty good. Not best film ever material but decent.

[Valmy]

Yeah I just saw Bohemian Rhapsody. Really good.

Ralph breaks the internet
Took my nieces there, they liked it a lot.  Or the popcorn and the candies, not sure which... 
Lots of references for adults in there, and a nice run into Disney's web site    Barely no singing, that was refreshing.  That was even a joke of sort in the movie.

Finished watching the O.J. Simpson trial series. Very well done.

Please tell me it was a joke that the nazi cop ended up as a Fox News presenter.

Bernardo Bertolucci and Nicolas Roeg have died.

I didn't realise just what an interesting body of work Roeg created.

His 1970s movies are all really great/interesting. Then he kinda fell off.

Yes I've seen most of those, though I see there's a late 60s one, Petulia  starring Julie Christie ( ) that I missed.

Petulia is a Richard Lester movie, Roeg was just the DP. It's a relentless tear-jerker.

Tbf, Brits do adultery movies like no other.

Interestingly Roeg did all the videos for Roger Waters' 1984 Pros and Cons Tour
