What film did you watch last night?

Predator a really great film

Predator 1 yes. Pred2 not so much but still a good watch. I also liked all the subsequent ones (except I haven't watched the animated "killer of killers yet). It's weird how people like different films, I would have said Pred 2 was the worst, but IMDB ratings disagree:

1. Predator (1987) - IMDB Rating: 7.8/10
2. Predator 2 (1990) - IMDB Rating: 6.3/10
3. Alien vs. Predator (2004) - IMDB Rating: 5.6/10
4. Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) - IMDB Rating: 4.7/10
5. Predators (2010) - IMDB Rating: 6.4/10
6. The Predator (2018) - IMDB Rating: 5.4/10
7. Prey (2022) - IMDB Rating: 7.2/10
8. Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) - IMDB Rating: Not available
9. Predator: Badlands (2025) - IMDB Rating: Not available

Predator a really great film

An absolute classic. The scene where Bill Duke lets rip with Ol' Painless is pure testosterone.

Useless fact - as I write im wearing the same watch that Arnie wore jn Predator.

How much did you pay him for it?




Or did you mean the same type of watch?

Whilst we're on Anderson and the masterpiece that is The Grand Budapest Hotel....I recently rewatched Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme and still couldn't warm to it !
I mean his films are never going to be bad for me but this just didn't cut it,sorry Wes ☹️

Inclined to agree. I like Wes's films a lot, Phoenician Scheme, whilst on similar lines and style, is bit on the dull side, and a bit "so what?"

Not seen it myself as not my thing but wife and eldest went to watch Hamnet and they thought it was very dull and boring which made me even more convinced I made the right decision.
As was said above, taste in flms very personal

My wife went on her own and didn't last the distance. We'd previously seen and enjoyed the play it's based on.

I think that the requirement that you must have watched it specifically last night is too restrictive. What if you watched it yesterday afternoon? Or the night before last?

To be fair that requirement is never enforced

Thats why its called Tron Arse.

To be fair I though it was just about OK, but I like the quip, which isn't entirely wrong

Strangely enough, that was my exact reaction to Grand Budapest Hotel.
Each to their own.
