Why, Dave?
Too many crazy cuts from Baz?

That - and....

I thought Hanks was horrible - cringe worthy - how in the fok did he land on that voice!?  And I like Hanks

Austin was great

Choppy choppy choppy - chaotic

Would it be that hard to give me at least one complete song scene?

Started to rewatch The Searcher instead - a great Elvis documentary.

Interesting.

I was looking forward to it at first but then saw the run-time and thought hmm, it can wait.

Dave, try Thirteen Lives - Ron Howard.
Could have been boring considering the repetitive nature of pulling twelve kids and their coach from a flooded cave but solid performances and... Well, I shouldn't say too much more. Go in with low expectations and you should enjoy it.

Agree with Libby about 13 Lives, excellent and very tense even though we know what happened.

I really liked Elvis though, agree Hanks performance was a little polarising, but I've seen it twice now and think Butler is fantastic and it manages to cover a lot of groud. If you find Lurmann an issue normally though then this won't be your thing (imho). I expect an Oscar nom or two in due course.

Saw 13 lives last night - Excellent1 Howard pulled off what he did with Apollo 13 - had me totally invested even though I knew the outcome. A+ from me

Yeah... I know I am in the minority on Elvis

Dave, I'm so glad I stopped and didn't yammer on about Thirteen Lives too much.

A while ago I watched Ron Howard's Masterclass in Directing (thanks again, Pia) and was really impressed.
He also seems like an all round nice guy on top of his skills as a Director.

I should probably migrate all this Thirteen Lives stuff to another thread.
Maybe I'll just make a new one.

It was a goodie. Howard does all the little things so well - like that chart he used for the cave.

I've just watched the documentary about it, it's called The Rescue and is on Disney + - very good too!

Thanks, Ant!
I also found a link yesterday on how many hours Howard shot, and more... Great reading!
Seeing as this continues to be all NOT about Elvis I'll definitely make a new thread shortly.

Thirteen Lives review thread here:

https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1660523892/s-5/highlight-/#num5

Elvis (the movie) fans continue reviewing here.

I thought about removing the Thirteen Lives chat but some overlaps.
