Going back to the theater?

[Insidious Von]

My three most anticipated films for 2021 are No Time to Die, Venom:Let There Be Carnage and Last Night in Soho.

After The Queen's Gambit, I'm starved for new content from Anya Taylor Joy. Directed by Edgar Wright.

The gruesome scenes that Jennifer Jason Leigh (Last Exit to Brooklyn), Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas) and Jennifer Connelly (Requiem For a Dream) enacted would not be condoned by SJWs today.

It was an act of total cowardice for The Academy to not award Connelly and Ellen Burnstyn top acting awards for Requiem For a Dream. Connelly completely lost her previous look for that film, to play a heroin addict.

What came after this scene could have had the film Rated X if done by a lesser director than Darren Aronovsky.

I'm not sure if it was cut in the final edit but there was a double dildo scene.

Dartsie you haven't watched the film - thanx for the spoiler.

Sorry about that. That film's been around since 2000 (over 20 years) so I thought it's old news.

There are so many false Shang - Chi trailers, I'm not even bothering with them anymore.

Rumour has it that the film begins with The Mandarin (Tony Leung: Infernal Affairs...The Departed) confronting the faux Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). Michelle Yeaoh is also in the film, I don't know who Awkwafina is?

I had no interest in watching Crazy Rich Asians.

 

[Insidious Von]

Simu Liu is still committed to Kim's Convenience. Unlike Constance Wu, he's not burning his bridges, good for him.

His character Jung is such a prick! He farts in Janet's yoga class and blames her. I can't have dirty thoughts about Andrea Bang, she's too adorable.

 

[Insidious Von]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is Idris Elba starting to look like Sean Connery?

Netflix is banking big on The Harder They Fall which reunites Elba with his The Wire co-star Michael K Williams. From the stills I've seen Big Dris has a Sean mojo workin. Jay - Z is the executive producer.

 

[Insidious Von]

On the flipside, Kevin Sorbo WTF?

 

[Insidious Von]

The amazing Maria Bakalova.

 

[Insidious Von]

Folks remember Fionn Whitehead?

 

[Insidious Von]

He's in a new film called Voyagers...which looks like Lord of the Flies in space, co-starring Lily-Rose Depp. LRD has viguorously defended her father, whom she loves despite him having the worst mid-life crisis nightmare.

 

[Insidious Von]

Her mother is Vanessa Paradis, you have to be a totally besotted fool to leave her!

 

[unassuming]

Last flick I saw at the theatre was "Knives Out", mmmmmm Ana De Armas, delicious!.

 

[Insidious Von]

Lovely Ana said she was terrified about doing that critical scene with Christopher Plummer, it established her career. Lifelong rapscallion that Chris was, he told her a dirty joke. She guffawed, not expecting it, her anxiety disappeared.

 

[Insidious Von]

Michael Strahan is one lucky SOB - and he's lost at least 50 lbs from his playing days.

Of the upcoming projects La Fenomea has upcoming, S6 of Peaky Blinders is what I'm looking forward to the most. The ending of S5 established that Michael Gray is a pucurone, the power rests with his wife Gina.

 

[Insidious Von]

Michael Strahan recently showed up on Beat Bobby Flay. He actually looks younger than in his New York Giants days.

Amidst all the darkness a beam of light shines through.

Godzilla vs Kong broke a box-office records for a pandemic. It's not that surprising, why send in Disney milksops to do the work of heavy hitters. Critics pan the Monsterverse films but WGAS, they have no sense of fun. I enjoyed all three films, they're better than the bland crap marvel has been serving up lately. Kong: Skull Island has the best cold open of any of the three. It's been chopped up, where it was once complete.

 

[Insidious Von]

Having someone of the gravitas of Samuel L Jackson was a must to make the scene. Kong doesn't speak but he was thinking it:

...and they call you Bad Motherfucker?
