Flight. Started out interesting, then took a heavy moralizing turn.

Auto-pilot had disengaged?

Auto-pilot had disengaged?

I think some part in the back malfunctioned which caused the plane to go into an uncontrollable dive.

I meant the script auto-pilot disengaged.

Metaphor doesn't really fit.

I try, god do I try.

I mean, it would have made more sense to say they turned autopilot on when the focus turned to the pilot's drinking problem.

So, does the film crash or does it soar?

God, Variety writers must have had a field day with this one.

I've been watching Making a Murderer on Netflix.  A terrifying and brutal critique on our justice system.  Scariest part is watching two police detectives get a confession out of a retarded kid.

Babadook!-Australian woman goes crazy.  Fails to kill her annoying kid, kills her cute dog. Sad.

The Big Short

What did you think of it? I'm moderately interested in that film.

[garbon]

I'm not sure. I had not realised it was basically a documentary with actors taking the place of real people. I think it was good though I'm not sure I liked it. But then I'm not a fan of moralising in films even when, as in this case, it is warranted.

[Razgovory]

So, should I watch The Man Who Would Be King? I remember watching this as a kid but these things sometimes tend to age badly - so wondering if I should give it another go?

It's a John Huston film, of course it's still good.

Just read that DiCaprio turned down the role of Anakin in ep. 2 and 3 and the role as Robin  in Batman Forever.

Good calls.
