Itโ€™s just that your gif said โ€œthatโ€ offensive and not โ€œitโ€ offensive. It just read like it meant my postโ€ฆ ย can never be too sure these days.

@Fortis93ย The Last Duelโ€ฆ. Really? โ˜น๏ธ

ย 

Well, look, I'll be the first to tell you that my taste in films is questionable.๐Ÿ˜„

ย 

I was expecting to feel indifferent towards this one based on what I'd seen and heard, but I ended up liking it quite a bit.ย 

ย 

And I can perfectly understand why some wouldn't though given the nature of the story itself.ย

mate, I dare say we all have a few โ€œquestionableโ€ favs ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿป

ย 

Completely fair though mate. Iโ€™ll admit I was surprised to see your post but we all like different stuff.

ย 

I guess I was just curious if it was because it was Ridley Scott, or whether you just enjoyed it.

ย 

Nah, it wasn't because it was Ridley Scott (who I actually took issue with when he started having a bit of a knee-jerk go at "millennials" and superhero movies for the film essentially bombing).ย 

ย 

I'll put it this way, if it wasn't for the last third of the movie/story, then I probably wouldn't be buying it. I think it was mostly Jodie Comer's character and performance that made the whole thing worthwhile.ย 

ย 

Otherwise, I tend to shy away from films that deal the with some of the heavy things that this one does.ย

My problem is having to wait for one of our Premium retailers providing us with this and me not being able to see it unless I ordered this 4K (now):

I still canโ€™t get my head around the casting ๐Ÿคฏ But regardless of that, 2 & 1/2 hours of misery is more than enough for me. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I do like gritty, but I think I prefer a gritty series that are broken up into more palletable chunks.

ย 

This one gets filed with the โ€œone time watchโ€ movies for me. I think the only one of those that I have bought was Spotlight (mostly for Keaton). But IMO The Last Duel is light years away in terms of performances from the likes of Spotlight.
ย 

Obviously these are very different movies in terms of era, but why oh why oh why would you cast a bunch of Americans attempting old English accentsโ€ฆ for French characters?! Utterly Bonkers.ย 

ย 

But anywayโ€ฆ all just opinions and not worth anything. Iโ€™m glad you got more out of it than most, and I hope FA do it proud mate. ๐Ÿปย

That's Hollywood for you. Even still, it can't be more ridiculous than Kevin Costner's attempt at playing Robin Hood. And let's not forget Keanu Reeve's 'star' turn as Harker in Dracula... every time he opened his mouth, the wife and I were in stitches.

You say it canโ€™t be more ridiculousโ€ฆ. But this IS Affleck & Damon weโ€™re talking about here. ๐Ÿ˜„

ย 

Will never understand why film makers continually make these decisions, BUTโ€ฆ

ย 

NOTHING can trump Harrison Ford & Liam Neesons Russian in K-19!!! Why Russians on board a Russian military submarine would ALL talk to each other in 100% English is Beyond me, but worse is that I find it Entirely Unbelievable that either of these guys are Actually trying to put on a Russian accent! Just embarrassing. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Just another reason for my feelings towards Mr. Neeson.ย

@Robertm89ย Thought of you when the news broke about Trippier, thatโ€™s a damn fine signing mate. But I am very curious what your thoughts are on Mr. Wood signing for that price tag?!ย 
ย 

I guess the price doesnโ€™t matter when your as rich as Newcastle right now, but with FIFA Fair play rules in consideration was that a good move do you think?

To be honest mate not all fans will be happy with this but he's always been a bloody handful. Wilson is injured so we didn't have a striker for the weekend. Gayle is a championship striker, so we might need him next season lol. A lot of clubs are playing hardball with asking prices so i think there trying to be a little sensible too still. Saturday is just a massive game for us, us and Watford are both in horrific form but we gotta start beating those around us especially.

Heโ€™s def a handful. Given his time with us, and then his time with Burnley I would say heโ€™s closer to a Championship striker than a Prem striker. He had that one good season with us which prompted Burnley to pay us handsomely for his services, but Iโ€™m not convinced he lived up to expectations.
ย 

All of that said, I think itโ€™s now written in the stars that he scores the winner against us on 22nd now ๐Ÿ˜‚ In the right set up and with the right service, I truly believe he could very easily re-discover that predatory instinct with your boys.ย

ย 

Haha, I completely get you there.

ย 

I think it would've been neat to have the characters start out speaking in their native language and then "switch" to English.

ย 

John McTiernan did such a great job of mixing languages like this in movies like "The Hunt For Red October" (switching from Russian to English) and "The 13th Warrior" (from Norwegian/Swedish to English).
