Sly Reflex Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 There's so many scenes where it's like nobody could be fucking bothered. It's full of cheesily written script. Anything with Diana's aides or when she's talking to bit actors are atrocious. The nurse (who I think is Angolan?) sounds like a child in a nursery nativity play. There's lines where you can almost see the pain in Naveen Andrews eyes at what he's having to do to put food on the table. It's just shocking. In no way should any of this be hilarious, but it is. It's a cult classic in the making for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm surprised they could narrow it down to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well that was pretty bad. Not so-bad-it's-good or even laughably bad, just bad. Really just a terribly made TV movie that made it's way into the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Rudderless. I know nothing about it other than the brief description on Netflix and the very high rating so I'm hoping for something of a high quality after the shit show that was Diana.

Hendo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I watched Rudderless earlier and it is definitely a better film than Diana, though not perfect. On the whole it's a pretty emotional film but with some bits that come close to the cheese that's in the newest Guitar Hero live action bits. I won't spoil too much of the story but at the core there is a fascinating tale of grief and guilt. It's not all believable but at the same time you're dealing with a story that very few people could understand how to deal with those situations. It actually has some moments that hark back to Diana with press intrusion but perhaps handled in a more everyday kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Updated to Blue Ruin for the week. I still recommend watching Rudderless, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Rudderless watched. I recommend it, it is good.The grieving aspect of it for someone that's done something horrible was well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm still not caught up here. I saw Network and thought it was good. So much of it still holds up today. Good looking film, too. I kept getting interrupted while I was watching Blue Ruin so I don't think I followed it too well, but it was grim. Don't know how I felt about it, though, so it may need a second watch somewhere down the line. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
