@hawkheart@avidfilm I love his past work but he sounds like a grumpy old man with the whole โthings arenโt as good as they used to beโ editorial - and then bewildering to select meh mid movies like The Rip and Horizon as flag bearers.
Iโm baffled. Brenton Thwaitesโ and Phoebe Tonkinโs new romantic Aussie drama is centred on the their characters having eight dates (with one date per episode) to see if they match. Eight Dates would be the logical title but Paramount+ has given it the generic Two Years Later. ๐ค
Those contestants on The Block would be getting smacked today. Not great weather on the Mornington Peninsula and they are exposed to the bay. ๐ง๏ธ๐จโ๏ธโ๏ธ
This is why I worry about The Odyssey - Christopher Nolan has said that his favourite film of 2024 was Gladiator 2. Say what? That movie was rubbish. When I see The Odyssey trailers I think Nolan might be using G2 as a template. Yikes!
@secretmovieclub For a while there - Brian De Palma, John Carpenter, Walter Hill, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Altman, William Friedkin, Woody Allen, and Hal Ashby.
Will be interesting to see if Channel 10โs strategy of having so many international versions of The Traitors on its streaming service - Ireland just added - helps give the rebooted Aussie series with Gretel Killeen a ratings boost. Canโt hurt I suppose.
