Flicking through the movie options on Foxtel, came across the Robert Downey Jr remake of Dr Doolittle.
Really enjoyed it and had a few LOL moments which hasn't happened for a long time.

This was good. Probably one you'd like, David.
Then for a change of pace I watched a South Korean Zombie Apocalypse film that's trending on netflix called #Alive. As far as zombie apocalypse films go it was pretty good

Haven't watched it and really don't care to, as it wouldn't interest me.
What's the actual issue. Apart from the reference to inappropriate material in promotional material what's the issue. And what is the issue with the promotional material? |

Basically, the Netflix poster made it look like some kind of Toddlers and Tiaras-style reality show when it’s actually a gritty coming-of-age film about a Senegalese-French girl from a conservative Muslim family who joins a dance group. The controversy over the film itself relates to the dance sequences, which are basically mimicking the hypersexualised moves of mainstream pop music videos ("twerking", etc.). It’s uncomfortable to watch, and that’s kind of the point; but many people who saw these clips out of context interpreted them as pure titillation and immediately concluded that the film itself was an exercise in child porn, ban this sick filth, etc. (a cause quickly latched onto by Republican politicians and the broader right who saw an opportunity to get one back at degenerate "liberals"). You can read a run-down of the controversy here: https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/netflix-cuties-twerking-poster-drama-explained.html
And a very well-argued defence of the film here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/09/cuties-scandal-netflix-controversy-french-movie

OMG, saw this some months ago...
You'll notice Bruce has really started to dial-it-in with his last few movies, he's looking like he is going through the motions.
The Aussie chick actress effectively made the movie watchable at best.

I saw Manoel de Oliveira's Doomed Love last night, a four-and-a-half-hour (!) adaptation of Portuguese writer Camilo Castelo Branco's nineteenth-century novel of the same name (Amor de perdição). Kind of a Romeo and Juliet story set in the early 1800s about an unfulfilled teenage love affair rejected by both sets of parents that ends up with the male protagonist in jail for the murder of his rival and his would-be fiancee wasting away in a convent. Been wanting to see it for ages, and it lived up to expectations – though many might find it slow going (it's all quite stiff and formal, with a lot of tableau-like compositions, but ends up being quite an effective melodrama).
The whole film is available here, if anyone's curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_kJyd7K4Q

Anyone looking forward to going back to the cinema soon? I think it might be one of the things I'm missing the most right now.
