I do believe MST3K did their magic on this one.
Had to Google it (I'm not cool and never will be), but once I did, I had a good chuckle.

I plan to continue not watching post-Connery and pre-Craig Bond films, but from memory, both Dalton and Brosnan Bond movies were a step up from aging-Moore ones.
Wes Anderson's "Isle of Dogs"
Obnoxious, offensive anti-cat propaganda, and insufferably selfsatisifed to boot. Anderson is fast becoming the twee Noah Baumbach.

I was off work today so I watched The Final Countdown with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. It was a great vintage what if type of SCFI movie. I really enjoyed watching it again because it had been many years since I had seen it.

I ended my 1980’s movie weekend this evening with Clive Cussler’s movie Raise the Titanic. Being a fan of the Titanic story this is a great “what if” movie.

Is that the one where they go through a wormhole in time and have to decide whether to stop Pearl Harbour?
I, Tonya. How much of this story is true and how much is fiction, I doubt we'll ever know as both Tonya and her awful husband, Jeff, had contrary stories. Still, Margot Robbie does an excellent job, as does Allison Janney as her horrible mother.

. Okay, maybe I'm in a minority, but this movie was boring. Granted, Gary Oldman's performance of Churchill was incredibly well done and he deserved the Oscar. But the movie itself? Meh. I was expecting much more.
Also, I was not happy with the whole Tube scene. Yes, it's cool to think of Churchill going to the people to find out their views on the war, but it didn't happen.
Churchill never wavered in his belief that fighting Hitler and defeating him was the only way to go.

I went to see it with a group of friends when it opened in 1980. I remember thinking it was neither great nor terrible, but what I remember most was the discussion on the drive home afterward about the number of things the writers got wrong with regards to time travel theories (as we understood them at the time) and the number of paradoxes they created.I was off work today so I watched The Final Countdown with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen.
