Lettuce discuss the celluloids and the silver screens.

Which are your favourites? Which are your least favourites? Any good films you've seen recently?

Post it here and we'll have a movie sleepover party that is most likely going to last for years until we have to migrate to another host like last time.

The last week I've seen the following films:
The Double (2013), Star Wars VII, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Short, The Martian, Mulholland Drive, Punch-Drunk Love and The Hateful Eight.

I was mostly playing catchup with the recent Hollywoods, since I had a lot of company. Punch-Drunk Love was a rewatch; I love how tense it is. The Big Short and The Maltese Falcon were pretty good, the rest was so-so.

I also started watching and intend to finish: The Green Papaya, Jeanne Dielman and The Peanuts Movie.

Goldclaw: "We are at war with those cats. Fighting is mostly inevitable, so we will need to sharpen your skills." He looked around, making sure they were still alone. The wind had picked up and he didn't want their scents to be caught by the wrong things.
"We will stay here until you get your energy back. Then you and I will fight." He meant to say it in a serious way, as to see how the cat would react to a challenge. She didn't need to know that it was only practice, he wanted to see what she was made of.
"Starclan is fair with the gifts they give. We have yet to have a kit born to us with a gift." He turned to look towards her. "Which is why we train intensely." The tom laid down on the soft grass, there was no need for standing and making himself a target for wandering eyes. "We know there are more like you, and having none, we need to be ready to protect ourselves. You understand this, I think?" The golden cat chuckled. "But that's not to say we won't love to have you in our ranks!"

Moonpaw: I smile, happy at what he said but my smile vanishes when I hear rapid footsteps getting louder and heavy breathing and I start panicking “I hear a wolf…on my left coming towards us…the wind must have attracted it…” I say and I growl and my voice changes to a creepy tone “I won’t let it hurt you nor your clan…” I say before running off but not using the speed from earlier and I head toward the wolf, my will to not let the clan have the same fate as mine pushing me on and I leap at the wolf without it knowing I was here and I cling onto its back and I bite and scratch, holding on to make sure it won’t head to the clan.

Goldclaw: Goldclaw couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not that a wolf had appeared, but that he wouldn't have to fight her. He could see her skills without risking him hurting her. The clan has had a bit of a wolf problem, but that's what happens when the territory of different animals overlaps. Killing a wolf is a difficult feat, and may lead to its packmates looking for them. Nevertheless, he kept up with the two. He wouldn't let her get hurt, but he would let her do most of the fighting. At least until the wolf got too unruly. He hoped they could drive it away before that happened. "We aren't trying to kill it, just make sure it gets hurt enough to want to stay away from here." He shouted up, hoping she could hear him.

I hate modern Hollywood and wish all the JEWS ruining the US movie industry would die swiftly.

I must also recommend Gohatto. It's a fabulous Japanese movie you should all see if you like Takeshi Kitano and love and affection between men in feudal Japan.

My all time favourite movie is Rumble in the Bronx.

Captain Americum: Civil War was ok.

It's a textbook example of design by committee, but at least it had biceps.
