Ok we started this shit film 40 minutes ago.... Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman.... Sounded ok

But my god it has seemed like the biggest pile of crap ever to date. No way could the white house fall like that and it's like every baddie bullet hits the target whilst all the good guys miss and get killed. Those bad Koreans just seems so typecast too!

Aibu to think I should save myself the next hour and just stop now?

Wait til White House Down. Even worse. I literally had my head in my hands.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 20/09/2013 23:10

I quite enjoyed it personally. It was a teensy bit unrealistic but quite entertaining! Mind you, I'd watch Gerard Butler fight his way out of a wet paper bag...

Maggietess · 20/09/2013 23:39

Oh good god.... There's 2 hours I'm not getting back... Never mind...

Maggietess · 20/09/2013 23:44

Gerard Butler lived not far from me & comes home often - met him in the pub, what a top bloke.

AngelsLieToKeepControl · 20/09/2013 23:50

Taken was good, Taken 2 is shit though. I watched one with LN in it not long ago called The Grey, which was brilliant, right up until the pointless ending of it, I was really annoyed that the ending was so crap.

I will advise no one ever to watch this bollocks that I am watching now though, Movie 43 is utter shit.

Maggietess · 20/09/2013 23:52

angelslietokeepcomtrol ice never heard of that film. But I have watched the grey and totally agree right until the very end it was great then... Huh!?!?!?

As an aside... Liam is from Ballymena but is starting to sound that kind of weird american/northern irish twang. It wrecks my head.

Think gramme mcdowell, he is king of it. It's horrific.... And now Rory mcilroy has started it too... What is wrong with these northern irish people that they lose their accent and develop an horrific weird twang.

This Movie 43 (which is thankfully just about to finish) has loads of 'stars' in it doing little cameo roles. It is supposed to be a comedy, but it really isn't funny at all.

GB is in it, Richard Gere, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman and a shedload of other people. It seems to be a bunch of short stores all cobbled together. I wish I had watched something else.

The Grey seemed to me like they just couldn't be arsed filming any more, either that or they are setting it up for The Grey 2 Grin

GiveItYourBestShot · 22/09/2013 07:46

Did you watch right tll the scene after the credits on The Grey? (Hate it when film makers do that...)

itwasarubythatshewore · 22/09/2013 07:50

It's the worst film I've ever seen half of! Grin We went to see it at the cinema and walked out after less than an hour, I think, because we couldn't stand to lose another on it and were laughing so much and thought we might be disturbing the other people. There's another one with the same premise on at the moment too.

boaby where do you live? and which pub does he frequent?

OHF is a pile of crap but it did contain a line that made me chuckle and I have used in my head many times since.

"Let's play a game of Fuck Off. You go first".

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 23/09/2013 19:53

Lurleene That line has replaced "Fuck the fuck off..." round here.
