I produced this film, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_(film)

it was booed at its premiere at Cannes and I’ve always insisted that we have the dubious accolade of having made a film that was too pretentious for French people.

It’s an excellent character driven movie, with a great cast, but it’s not an action movie, it doesn’t have shootouts, just people talking. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Well, yeah. But that's just like, your opinion, man.

I produced this film

From the Wikipedia page:

it focuses on a group of acquaintances who spend the weekend together at a remote country house

I think that idea might have been done once or twice before.

I have just discovered that there is a live-action Popeye film, starring Robin Williams. It's a musical.

It has won awards for: Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Song and Worst Remake.

...I have got to see this.

Deadpool & Wolverine and

Which I did watch last night, before Hootenanny, and it very much lived up to my expectations - it was violent, very funny and had lots of little in-jokes and characters from other genre movies. Anyone saying it’s best left unwatched clearly doesn’t understand the type of film that it is.

I just watched the remake of Whisky galore! I wish I hadn’t bothered, actually I wish they hadn’t bothered.

I thought that it was very good

These three were not just awful films but they were big budget and massively hyped into the bargain.

Gangs of  New York

The Revenant

Dunkirk

I'm another one who didn't see Ghostbusters when it came out. I still haven't seen it, well not all of it anyway. I tried to watch it last year, and made it through about 35 minutes before giving up. Really one of the worst things I've ever seen, and not in a good way.
