Much better.
classic1 ‘s Review of Once Upon a Time In ...... Hollywood.
[snip]
At this point I’ll rate it 2.5 stars out of 5.
I thought it was the world's longest lead up to a single gag. Self referential, self indulgent and tedious. A movie for movie buffs.I saw it tonight and reckon your review is pretty much spot on,classic1.
Definitely needs editing to lose around 45mins I reckon, and the two scenes you suggest are good places to start. Both could be cut to about 5 mins each and still have as much bearing on the overall film. I thought Brad Pitt was excellent and Leo good, and I'll give it one half star more than you just coz Margo Robbie.... 3/5 stars
Hahaha. Nice one.Here's my review of Dunkirk. I wrote it for my gf at the time who was doing the odd movie review for her work newsletter. We'd done a couple of them together for a laugh and they went over well. Dunno if this one went in. I don't think it did.
I went to the cinema with the intention of watching a movie that would allow me to write an amusing, irreverent and possibly even hilarious review. That all went out the window when I decided to go and see Dunkirk. This was one of the most frightening, loud, intense, explosive, death-filled, butt-clenching cinematic experiences of my whole entire life, at least since I saw the revenant. And that was just the wait in the queue at mid valley 8, lining up to get a ticket. Mid valley. It's a whole experience in itself. Like a mad scientists sociological experiment gone wrong. So much for the funny review.
One thing that I did get out of this intense viewing experience was an insight into the recent past, a past within living memory of our grandparents and great grandparents. The film provided an indication of how difficult and scary it must have been for the troops during the second World War.
The way things are going with Trump, North Korea, the south china sea, Yemen, Syria, etc it may have even given me a disturbing glimpse into the very near future. May god have mercy on our souls.
I rate this movie 4.5 stars out of 5. It's a 5 star film if you're a Tom Hardy fan, which I know most of you girls out there will be. You are all so shallow and predictable. Me, I went there to learn about history, the war, and specifically about the Dunkirk evacuation. Did I mention that Tom Hardy was in the film? Tom. Hardy.
Criticisms? My main criticism of the movie is that Tom Hardy wore too many clothes. My other criticism is that the film lacked the intestine draped and head explosion gore of "saving private Ryan". On the upside it had significantly less Americans in it than Saving Private Ryan. Zero in fact. I found this very refreshing. It felt strange watching a movie that didn't have 50 characters all talking and yelling over the top of one another at the same time.
I'd tell you more about the movie in but I'm too exhausted after such an intense experience. Definitely worth a watch. Go see it. By the way, did I mention Tom Hardy is in it?
What a little *****.Much better.
... Of course one of those muppets managed to get my phone no from his boss, and called me on the weekend to complain that I'd told his boss he'd been absent for the afternoon. No it was about the week prior. Goodbye. But he was at least smart enough to go No caller ID, unlike me to his boss. Eh, no foul. Until this afternoon, when I get no caller ID calls saying **** you.
And I don't have enemies, except maybe all those endless no caller ID telemarketers, but even they're not stupid enough to call me on a sunday. Urrrgghhh. I'm starting to understand why people don't respect plumbers. I've seen enough students studying other subjects, and it's becoming pretty clear to me which trade attracts the biggest, most irredeemable ****sticks.
You ripper. Thanks for that. Never heard of this bloke.I'm putting these two together on purpose.

It's the last bits of the doco that matter to us,
the people, who pay for it all, in far more ways than just the literal cost, still,
now.
What if it was 30 or 40 minutes shorter?I thought it was the world's longest lead up to a single gag. Self referential, self indulgent and tedious. A movie for movie buffs.
People walked out at about the hour mark. If My Beloved and I weren't with another couple, we would have done the same.
1/2 a star each for Brad and Margo. I won't be seeing Tarantino's 10th at the cinema.
