Rye Lane. Is good. Funny and nice cameos. 8/10.
The first Raid film.
I watched the Pebble and the Boy, what an abysmal film. I can't believe I watched until the end.
Drugs are cool.
I would love for all that to be walled off and sealed up.
Niiice.
Yep, it's bad. It's not a book that lends itself to a film treatment. Most of the times using drugs has been portrayed in films, they just don't get it at all, and it becomes annoying. Attempts that came closest I'd give to Enter The Void and the first Avatar movie (basically mushrooms). But F&LILV was about two cnuts whose only interesting feature was they were doing an unholy volume of drugs. Terry Gilliam was probably also among the last directors you'd want attempting this material. I'd give it a 1/10.
Harsh on @Dirty Schwein 's posting style.
Tbh the carpet scene where it looks like water is realistic.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
I didn't realise that this was on Amazon Prime until now so gave it a go.
Nicolas Cage plays himself, struggling to find movie roles, until he's offered a million dollars to be a guest at a billionaire's birthday party. The billionaire, played by Pedro Pascal, is wanted for kidnapping the daughter of the Catalan President, so Cage is recruited by the CIA to find and rescue the girl.
It falls on its arse in the final third but until that point it's bloody marvelous. The chemistry between Cage and Pascal is wonderful, and Cage cranks up the Cageness into overdrive (especially in the bits where he argues with a younger version of himself). It's funny, often self deprecating, and hit it's story beats so well that when everything starts to go awry in the last twenty minutes it's quite noticeable. But I'd still recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy two hours of fun storytelling.

You can't give an 8/10 to a film where the last third of it is utter pish, I'm not having that. 7/10 would be generous and yes I am the opinion police, I'll show you my badge in a second sweetheart.
The last third isn't pish, it's just middling. Your badge is made out of plastic as far as I'm concerned.
Grass?!? Are you a narc?
The less OTT aspects of it are, I've always felt, pretty good representations of certain drugs, notably the carpet bit and the earlier parts where they're trying to interact normally with people.
I rather like it as a film and, whilst not exceptional, I'd rate it far higher than a 1 out of 10.
Moody man does everything right. Always.
Including Rogan not being able to pronounce ‘Chartreuse’ is utterly brilliant too.
Also, Duncan Trussell ad libs are great.
I watched Fear & Loathing while on Mushrooms and it was incredible. Not that that’s worth much
That would undoubtedly make it more interesting. Sidebar: I watched Return of the Jedi on LSD, having mistimed my drugs and forgetting I was supposed to have dinner with my parents, and they decided we were watching it while eating. It was not improved one tiny bit.
LSD around your parents? How the Fcuk?
It was an accident. I thought I would be at a party by the time it hit. Forgot about having to stay for dinner. I remember thinking Luke’s hair looked less real than the Ewoks. Everything was getting a little silly. I am sure they knew I was on something, but they probably assumed I was injecting marijuana (or something). I left before it was over, a friend picked me up, thankfully.
I think 5/10 is generous. I think I gave it 3.5/10 earlier in this thread.
Wibble has banhammer powers though.
Not sure you can kill Pigeons that way. Some sort of poisoned seed perhaps?
Excuse me, this man suffers from bad taste, but I have plenty of remedies. I'm a film critic, you see,
Let's get you over to the boxing thread, Port

I feel judged
Has anyone seen Oliver Stone's El Salvador? I've been considering it a while, but I actually wasn't too fond of Platoon, so I'm hesitant.
I have. It’s pretty good, it avoids a lot of the bombast and excess of his later films. Jim Belushi tries but does not manage to ruin it.

Not since the 80's but I seem to remember enjoying it.
I clocked that. An attempt wasn't even made
Infinity Pool (2022)
A dark psychological thriller that sets up camp somewhere between satire and horror, made by Brandon Cronenbourg, son of David,
It tells the tale of a group of wealthy tourists who get more than they bargained for when they accidentally kill a local farmer and are coerced into performing an operation that creates a double version of them, which is swiftly executed.
After a very engaging first act, the story sort of loses itself in lots of well-shot moments of excessive brutality (inc. sexual) that felt to me like a bit of a missed attempt at declaring decadence as its own form of psychological torture.
Still, the actors mostly do a good job given the rambunctiousness of the script, particularly Mia Goth who plays an alluring, yet absolutely terrifying, femme fatale.

Watched Shiver yesterday, brilliant music film. Worth watching for anyone with good sound system.
