I saw it an an almost deserted screen so didnt have that problem! Think it is one of those films where knowing more about it before going in may actually be a positive

#4287

oh i saw Thelma away which ended up being a bit disappointing

She has been in some good films and some not so good ones.

Lady Bird is the highest rated film on RT ever as well

Blade of the Immortal - Pretty ridiculous and entertaining. There’s a lot of slaughter. it also has more absurd characters and characterisation than I was expecting though. It’s Takashi Miike’s 100th movie apparently.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - Never seen this before, surprised by how bad it was. Contains many weirdly conservative acts of youthful rebellion; Bueller’s a teen yuppie.

Ferris Bueller is great, miles better than all of John Hughes’ other high-school films. But nowhere near as good as Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

All very true, but this is spot on…

Oh yeah of course, says a lot of Matthew Broderick’s performance that he makes the guy not too insufferable

#4302

The best phrase I can come up with to describe Bueller is “a likeable twat”

I admit that I didn’t find him likeable or charming at all which was compounded by the fact that everyone was going on about how cool he was the whole time. his sister’s entire character character arc was her coming to terms with how cool he was!

Ferris Bueller has aged really badly and I would happily never see it again. agree with @noise_ramones that the actual character is insufferable

Ferris Bueller has aged especially badly when compared to Risky Business which it ripped off, watered down and made palatable for younger viewers. RB is nowhere near as well known over here (mainly as the BBFC rating was stupidly an ‘18’ on home video) but even though i like FBDO a lot, RB is the original and some may say the better film.

I find Ferris Bueller a bit too uncomfortable to watch after the Jeffrey Jones (the principal who spends the day following Ferris) was later arrested for owning child pornography :neutral_face:

i enjoyed ‘Marjorie prime’ yesterday. jon hamm looks like fassbender in it. after this and the latest alien, this year Hollywood was trying to tell us clones and holograms will look like fassbender.

On Body and Soul
Really liked this. Had a really odd atmosphere and greatly fleshed out characters.

I The Jury. Detective noir set at Christmas. Quite good fun but not the most satisfying conclusion

Was going to watch Felicite aa well but its quite long so will do tomorrow

Does anyone else use Mubi enough to start a thread advising what is worthcatching? On Body and Soul left yesterday and I didnt even clock it was on, and Felicite may be Oscar nominated and is on there too

Caught up with Strong Island over the weekend and it is incredible. Heartbreaking doc on an African American woman piecing together the story of her brother’s murder in 1992 and the complete lack of justice that followed. One of the films of the year for me, watch it if you have Netflix.
