Better Call Saul being a perfect exception. So looking forward to S6.

Watching Cleopatra https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056937/ at the moment. Will finish it tomorrow, 3 hours and 15 minutes is too long for me in the middle of the week to watch in one go. Pretty good so far, reminds me a lot of Lawrence of Arabia.
Just finished the movie. I was amazed by the detail in sets and extras. Truly something I had never seen before. However the movie is still a bit too long imo. Will write a proper review soon.
Saw Office Space for the first time today. The movie holds up pretty well. I also had forgotten what Jennifer Aniston looked like pre-plastic-surgery.

Curious, it appears that the IMBD plugin shows the translated titles, instead of the original.
I saw Encanto, the latest Disney movie. It's good.
Of course, they can't go 15 minutes without breaking into song, but I still enjoyed watching it. Some of the twists were easy to spot, and it's a basic feel-good disney story, but what else did you expect from a Disney movie? It's made for kids.
Still, it had some good jokes, and it was generally enjoyable to watch. Definitely one of the better 3D Disney movies (looking at you, Frozen II).

Yeah, that's odd indeed.
Since I have a daughter now the smartest thing to do is probably skip every Disney movie, in a few years they'll be on repeat in our living room anyway

You better learn her English real fucking fast, or your stuck with godawful Dutch dubs *shudder*.Yeah, that's odd indeed.

That's the plan! I already downloaded a ton of Disney movies in English
Trouble is finding subs for some of them.

Oh, I don't download a movie until I'm certain I can find subs.
worst case scenario, you can use a SRT sync tool, like https://subshifter.bitsnbites.eu. Takes some work, but you'll have perfect subtitles.

All of them have English subs, trouble is finding Dutch subs. Of course English suffices for me, but probably not for a 5(?) year old child. (no idea when children start to read)

I think you'd be surprised. GF's cousin is 8, and is perfectly capable of reading the English text in Zelda games. At least, he'll get the gist of it.
Good to hear, only 7 more years and 4 months
Saw two interesting movies last weekend!
On Saturday I watched Sexy Beast, a solid 8 for me!
On Sunday I watched The Last Duel with the gf.
Another solid 8. Matt Damon, Adam Driver, and even Ben Affleck were perfect.
Movies could not have been more different from each-other, but I liked them both a lot.

Started watching The French Dispatch yesterday.
Both me and the gf fell asleep. The cinematography was amazing as always (classic Wes Anderson), but the story wasn't really our thing. We won't even finish the movie.

The OG has no CGI. Its all practical. They talked about it on several Corridor Crew videos, it's crazy how advanced and realistic those T-Rex models were.
AFAIK they do use some, but 99% is practical. I just don't get why studios switch to CGI when it looks worse. Money probably.
Just finished watching King Of New York. My God, what a masterpiece!
Walken is just amazing.

A drug kingpin is released from prison and seeks to take total control of the criminal underworld in order to give back to the community.
Saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High yesterday, it's your typical "a few days in the lives of teenagers in the early 80s movie". Nothing special to be honest, apart from Sean Penn as a high school stoner. The classic example of a 30 40 year old playing a 17 year old. 6/10
