London Film Festival line-up announced: https://www.bfi.org.uk/bfi-london-film-festival-2019

l always liked Heath Ledgers take on it although l also enjoyed Jack Nicholsons take on it as well.

Still on the fence about Joker.

It's a fresh take on the origins of the character and I think I am intrigued by it. Society made him crazy.

Also I think it's going to be rated 18.

Terminator didn't grab me in the first teasers, especially after how poor the last ones have been. However the new trailer really made it sound great, I hope it's not just the editing of said trailer.

I also love that it ignores everything after T2, and follows on from it directly. Linda H still looks badass in it.

The reception to Joker is that it's quite good and quite dark. It seems to be going down a realistic path and displaying the breakdown of someone rather than leaning into the Batman thing. This is a film that's premiered at Venice rather than getting a big blockbuster release.

Talking of which it's just won best film at the Venice Film Festival: https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...lanski-triumph

That means it is going to be cack and good for nothing apart from a master class in film making or acting.

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

I don't know. The reviews are good too. I don't see why you can't have a different take on comic book movies, it's what Christopher Nolan did so well with the Batman series.

Marvel are already doing their Marvel thing. DC might be making a good decision to take a different direction instead. Especially with Batman since it's usually been a darker, grittier universe.

talking of which, this months issue of SFX has just come through the door if you are interested:

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

Yours was late then, got mine a few days ago :D

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

you are right. I got an email last week saying "your new copy of SFX is on the way" and normally it comes the next day after the email. I was conscious of the fact that it was late and if it hadn't have come within the next few days I was going to give them a ring and tell them it must have got lost in the post. I have been a subscriber for about 11 years and haven't lost a copy yet.

a bit of a late entry but if you like your war films:

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

It will have to go some to live up to the star studded 1976 version and a nice question for you is who was the genius that composed the musical score for that version?.;)

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

Haven't seen the film but looked it up and it is the great John Williams.

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

And what a CV he has had since.

Re: Films to see in 2019
 

yup, the guy is an absolute legend. Funnily enough there is another thread in this section of the forum for which 5 movie directors would you like to meet and I tweaked my response to top 5 people and John Williams was No. 1.
