The Silver Fern

Love seeing Nick White get smashed

Blues defence blaming each other for that try

I don't care if it was uncool - I really liked David Johansens alter ego Buster Poindexter

I'm intigued.
Just imagine filming, "Cut! And that's a wrap!"

For most people it will not be worth the 64 minutes run time. Mark Polonia has filmed lots of super low budget movies over the last 20 years. This one was even worst than most, looking like it had all been filmed in a single room. Special effects budget was less than I spend for breakfast at McDonalds.

Look how many movies this guy pumped out last year

I'm going to keep going through the back catalogue though. Next on my list are these 2:

Happy Superb Owl day to all those who celebrate

Bait (2012)

Horrific pile of steaming turds. Avoid at all costs.

Appreciate the heads up although I think this might have put me off too…..

‘A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket inside the building - along with 12-foot Great White Sharks’

Jaws still holds up to this day as an absolute classic, it’s funny how much shit it helped to inspire, including most of the sequels in its own franchise !

Hard to go past this one either……

Under Paris was good. I am still working my way through my backlog of low budget shark movies. This weekend it was these 2 masterpieces

It has been stated in a previous interview with Elon's father that he was named that because of this manuscript

Sorry. my brain is mush, so can't recall. Here is a closeup of those meatballs... mmmmmmm

@Nepia Every bakery worth anything in Napier or Hastings has meatballs. They are pretty good from there too

@Bones if by proper you mean not out of a tin, then yes

General consensus seems to be Shaeno's Brisket pie as being the best (and it is amazing) but I prefer the corned beef (with vegetables, mustard sauce, potato top) from BJ's Bakery

@NTA said in TV Serieseseses:

Secret Level

Animated series on Prime video (think Love, Death + Robots) with some pretty kick arse stuff for the nerds, which I am.

Anthology style and really top quality animation. Just binged the lot

I am entertained

@NTA You might have only watched half - it is a 16 episode series, with the second half dropping tomorrow

I watched this last night (Chinese with English subtitles, not like this trailer which is dubbed)

10/10 no notes

For anyone interested, Taskmaster NZ has been renewed for another series (Series 6)

@Kruse said in Movie review thread...:

Clerks III
I've watched all the Clerks movies over the last week or so - while stoned, to get "that" view of them
Original - amusing
2 - I'm vaguely remembering as being problematic
3 - not great. Lots of self-referencing self-back-clapping nonsense.

• and realised - I've never seen this before. Maybe watching Kevin Smith's schtick for the first time while stoned... doesn't quite work? Anyway...

Tit-watch: minimal. Rosario Dawson's return in III - kept my otherwise dwindling interest piqued.

You need to also watch 2024's The 4:30 Movie - a spiritual prequel by Kevin Smith set in the 1980's
