UKFilmNerd
A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.
Question. Who keeps unpinning this thread? Other recent film discussions are still pinned and Romulus only opened a few days ago.
Alien?
I have now written a review and feel a little calmer about the film 24 hours later, but not by much.
I was discussing this recently with someone. I feel that as the franchise continues, their good action films but bad Terminator stories. Genisys was the low point for me so far.
It feels like the Star Wars problem, we’ve had nine films based around the Skywalker’s and look how that ended up. I feel that Terminator needs to drop the John Connor anchor and approach from a different angle
I know John Connor is the centre of the franchise lore but I feel we’ve exhausted that avenue of story telling. Although I just remembered they killed him off in the beginning of Dark Fate but that film still had issues.
Not much on Saturday. Sunday was a planned trip to the Sister-in-laws. It was going to be a roast dinner, then it was a BBQ, and finally downgraded to jacket potatoes and salad.
Both my sons are autistic, one more than the other. He was initially excited about the big temporary swimming pool that was going to be there. Sadly, it was a different pool to last time and the water smelt funny and to top it off, his brother pushed him in, which was the final straw.
I had to take him home to calm down and left my other son and wife to enjoy themselves. It was only a few hours and I had to come back and pick them up as my other son had enough.
And there’s this saying, “Autism Rocks!” 😆
I really enjoyed both films despite their shortcomings. They definitely felt censored with lots of character buildup missing.
Just gotta find the time to watch these directors cuts!
