Spectre was alright but yeah, Skyfall overall was just that bit better IMO. Was a little too long for my liking also, but the harsh reviews it got were exactly that… very harsh. The way some of them were going on about it you would be lead to believe it was a total disaster of a movie (i.e. Die Another Day type of disaster 😁).

And I totally agree with you on the new Star Wars movie, Matlock. Absolutely brilliant! Certainly makes me forget all about those disastrous prequel movies! 😊

I saw Zootopia this morning. Quite a good movie with a big twist.  
Today Extra’s David Campbell has a cameo in the Australian release voicing a koala newsreader. Almost did not recognise his voice!  
This is the fourth movie I have seen this year (The Peanuts Movie, Steve Jobs, From Vegas to Macau III and Zootopia) with Allegiant coming up. I usually see only 4-5 movies per year.

Watched Deadpool and Ant Man for the first time yesterday afternoon. Deadpool came as a complete surprise. To be honest, i’m surprised that it was only given an MA 15+ rating! However, in saying that, I thought both movies were really good and I would recommend both of them (or maybe not Deadpool, if you don’t like “crude” humour 😛 ).

This looks interesting

[Uber-style app for movies](http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/movies/uber-for-movies-choovie-app-promises-dynamic-pricing-for-cinema-tickets-20170210-gua9q5.html)

> The couple have created an app called **Choovie** , which will for the first time bring dynamic pricing to the realm of cinema tickets. When there are a lot of empty seats, tickets cost less. When demand is high, they will cost more, though probably not more than the regular full adult ticket price.

Caught La La Land last night. I liked it and generally followed the morals of the story until the last little bit of the film.

What did others think?

I thought it was a steaming pile of crap. I don’t understand why some hold it up as a masterpiece of cinema. It’s such a Hollywood wankfest I wouldn’t be surprised to see it win the best picture Oscar.

I’m not a sentimental or emotional person and have never rated Casey Affleck highly in the past but I thought “Manchester by the Sea” was a much better movie. I was on the verge of tears during some of it. I loved how the characters were developed in this and how it is revealed why the main character goes from being happy and carefree to a broken man.

You better believe 🍆 is my most used emoji along with 💦

This movie has to have a “how do you do, fellow kids” vibe. Probably worse than that awful shit Hillary pulled last year ‘Pokémon Go to the polls’ FOH woman.

I wonder, has anyone _actually_ seen this yet (or has any intentions of seeing it at all)?

Not sure how they made a movie based around this but we’ll see I guess. I wonder what they’ll think of next, a movie with memes or perhaps Fidget Spinners? 😛
