redfiona99Adverts I like:
Okay, so I can't actually see Bond drinking Heineken but that apart, I love it.
Dear Belvedere, why would I waste good vodka by putting it into a martini.
The new Disneyland Paris advert confuses me, because it's aimed at 20-somethings. Do children not go to Disney anymore? (I ask because I never went.)

Bridge Of Spies - 'based on real events' means everyone who knows about the real events is going to go 'huh, well that's not quite what happened', doesn't it?
Pan - the SFX look good, but I'm not sure why you'd want a Peter Pan film where Pan basically does nothing (going off the trailer entirely). No, not even Hugh Jackman waiving a sword about will convince me. Or that Garrett Hedlund appears to have grown-up well.
Whatever the new Divergent one is called - Divergent has this one problem, in that it's directly up against the most recent Mockingjay, and looks like a cheap rip-off. Especially as the ads make it look like 'small escaping force' vs 'trying to save everyone'.
Given that they're still advertising it, I am mightly annoyed at how quickly they've taken Macbeth off the cinema.
Victor Frankenstein:
1) Must see
2) Despite liberties, it looks like they've twigged that Victor is the monster.
3) Hello Freddie Fox and Andrew Scott.
(Warning for undoubtedly excessive swearing to follow)
Krampus:
Dear Hollywood, stay the fuck away from my folklore.
I am now going to have to put up with people assuring me that I don't know my folklore as well as they do when they're working off the Hollywood version.
The Krampus is completely under St. Nick's control and the worst he does is birch naughty children. If you've been bad enough that the Krampus is coming a'slaughtering, you're probably a murderer yourself.

rise_your_dead, who has had to put up with this rant three times now, it's like turning the Grinch (pre-heart expansion) into Freddy Krueger. It's completely the wrong register of evil.
