"Evolution (2001) with Mulder, no Scully. They prevented human annihilation by squirting alien beings with head & shoulders shampoo. Think the Hollywood script writers were on strike at the time and left it in the hands of Bez from the Happy Mondays." Actually the science of that was pretty damn accurate using selenium as an arsenic stand in | |||

Id also add Mars Attacks They blow up the aliens heads by playing an old fashioned song. | |||

He saw selenium and realised he had a screen play to finish. Maybe Bez is a genius?? " | |||

Mars Attacks! is a black comedy so they can get away with weird stuff like Slim Whitman's voice causing heads to explode. | |||

"King Kong xx " " Can't agree Sammy. KK is the ultimate portrayal of beauty and the beast where the beauty of the beast is anthropromophasized (don't even know if that's a verb) in his love for Fay Wray after being hounded, persecuted, removed from his natural environment and eventually exterminated by his greed driven captors. It's sad and wrong on all levels and mirrors a lot of what's happening in the way human beings have been treating themselves before and after the original film was made. This was not a shit ending, it was forward thinking and retrospective all in one. It was only shit for KK just as it is for anyone who has been subject to the same treatment. Nighty nighty all x " | |||

"Hellraiser 2 She reasoned with Pinhead by showing him a picture of him as a human before he was a demon. Yeah, demons are reasonable and can be debated with Gotcha 🤦" ….Just the ending was shit??? | |||

"The awful remake of Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone in the main role. Terrible from start to finish." Michael Caine, who played Cliff Brumby in it, had a word to say about it. The word was "Disaster" 
A better movie was "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", with Clive Owen. Not exactly a remake of GC, but essentially the same plot, also by Mike Hodges. | |||

"2001: A Space Odyssey Incomprehensible. If you read the book it isn't much more understandable." Dont take it too literally. Basically, aliens start evolution of modern man from apes and leave a beacon on the moon to indicate when we’re ready for the next stage, beacon triggers and says go to Jupiter. We go and aliens trigger next step in man’s evolution. The end. | |||

"Flight of the Phoenix (original version). Great film. The ending isn't exactly crap. Just highly unconvincing. How did that makeshift plane with skis for undercarriage, and with guys prostrate on the wings clinging on for dear life, manage to land without killing or even injuring anyone? We didn't actually see it land because it couldn't have done so safely, but all the guys hanging onto the wings managed to emerge unscathed and run to that pond." The irony is that the Paul Mantz, the pilot of the makeshift plane, was killed filming the flying scenes. | |||

"Titanic, it was so disappointing when the ship sank..." The stupid thing about Titanic, was that the piece of wood was big enough for both of them. | |||

"Ice Cold in Alex - a 1958 British war film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Anthony Quayle and Harry Andrews. Just ends up with a bunch of them getting a pint in a bar." Carlsberg used that bar scene almost unedited in an advertising campaign, highlighting the slogan "worth waiting for". Conveniently, Carlsberg glasses were actually used in the original scene. | |||

Love this film, so much better than the remake, but you are right, a highly improbable landing ! Still loved James Stewart | |||
