Rumour has it Bond 25 is getting delayed again. To autumn. I think we‘ve been here before…

 

Just watched the trailer for Death on the Nile. Not sure what it is, maybe Dawn French, but first film I've wanted to see in a cinema in a year or two.

 

Ah, lovely. I was one of the people who loved the first Branagh Poirot, so I‘m looking forward to more of his take on the character and Christie‘s story. It looks like there‘s another great ensemble cast, which was one of the strengths of Murder on the Orient Express.

 

Death on the Nile is probably my least favorite of the most popular Poirot novels, but I do think that of all the books, it will make for the best movie.

 

Excellent satire on the movie industry.

 

Trailer Looks good for movie Boss Level

 

Kong vs Godzilla

 

"Realistically" Godzilla should reduce Kong to ash with atomic fire and that scene where Kong is able to deflect it is just pure bullshit.

 

Yeah but what about giant monster fight movies gave you the impression anything here is for realism?

 

I'm not loving that they're continuing with the King of Monsters cast. That movie sucked balls. They managed to rip all the joy out of Godzilla by focusing on the bullshit family drama and the "humanity is a plague" nonsense.

Just give me big monsters punching each other.

 

KOTM was miles and miles better than 2014 Godzilla. We actually got monsters fighting monsters. Rodan vs jets vs Ghidorah over the ocean was fucking glorious and Zilla charging up to red to blast the space dragon was awesome too. It seems Hollywood is incapable of making a kaiju movie without bs human whatever plot unless del Toro does it. Not everything can be Pacific Rim, unfortunately.

 

nearly every Toho godzilla movie has some weird BS human plot too. The government is fucking up, or the military is fucking up, or some shady business is fucking up.

boring humans making dumb mistakes is a kaiju staple

 

Hence the "_"

 

Personally I can't wait for kong vs godzilla. Just too bad it's going to be such a short movie.

 

I'm afraid the trailer addresses this, you see, Kong wields a magical axe that is able to absorb and reflect nuclear breath.

 

God that sounds awful. I can't wait.

 

I believe the axe is made out of Godzilla's spine.

 

All I want is Kong making Godzilla eat his damn vegetables.

Context:

 

Just finished it and it's about as good as the trailer suggests. While I don't expect this to start a big franchise, Netflix should do more space adventure films especially when they can do this much with about $21m budget.

 

This was... okay? It is basically poor man's Cowboy Bebop with less style, less heart, and condensed into a movie.
