It's interesting that the actors with many nominations and no wins are mostly Brits.

Peter O'Toole
Richard Burton
Deborah Kerr
Albert Finney
I think I get it with O'Toole, Burton and Finney but it's a surprise to see Kerr on the list.

This occurred during the Apollo 1 mission. On January 27, 1967, a fire broke out in the command module, killing all three astronauts board: Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee. This incident made Nasa replace monkeys with electric computers.</blockquote>

I watched it here: https://filmboards.com/board/10031835/
The 4th print was nice and sharp.
Saw the film yesterday and enjoyed it. I'm baffled by the low IMDb score and assumed it's the usual suspects piling in to rate it as a 1 (admittedly it's also heavy on the 2,3,4 ratings as well). Personally I enjoyed it more than Deadpool and Wolverine.
But you're right about the marketing. I don't see any trailers in the cinema and can't remember when I became aware of it. Either it popped up because I was looking at Haley Bennett's credits (a much under appreciated actress) or I just happened to notice it was on at the local cinema.
I've got a directors signed copy of the dvd somewhere - though it's been years since I watched it. I think escaping the IRA to make a sequel would have been a ridiculously contrived moment and greatly handicapped the rest of the film.
Spotted in the crowd in Edinburgh yesterday watching Scotland (or perhaps just van der Merwe) beat England. I regretfully observed no evidence of a Greggs sausage roll - neither in hand or the inevitable trail of flaky crumbs.
Yeah, but it was a cute, funny, self-deprecating scene (from a Disney POV) - I liked it.
I think a big attraction for this program was the alternative history approach - but as it diverges further from our reality it gets less interesting.
a human coding error. I'd be curious to see what kind of error leads to -> Nuke LA.
I liked it. There were liberties taken with the story and a hefty dose of modern sensibilities but I thought it was fun.
Yes.
Every now and then there will be something silly that people who like to be outraged will get outraged about but generally it's for the greater good. I like ballet & opera & Shakespeare and if it takes extra funding to get those out to the sticks and into schools then I think it's money well spent. It also supports the small stuff - which even if it looks amateurish and bit rubbish could well be the first steps for some peoples career and is a satisfying community activity for the others.
Plus, every now and then someone produces figures to show that as an investment it returns it's value several times over in the UK's TV and Film industry and the tourist attracting Theatres - so you can justify in purely economic terms.
It's one of those films that's always been around - at least it was on TV when I was growing up and there were only a few terrestrial channels to choose from.

I liked the cast well enough but the script was just a list of contemporary tick box tropes - all of which are laudable but they forgot to add an interesting story.
Maybe they are just not very talkative and most of the time recording something as watched is all they want to do? It looks a bit odd but does no harm and personally I'd rather come across Slimone's posts than the click-bait phrased, wannabe contentious ones that litter the boards.
I'm guessing there are several people lined up to try but we'll never really know which was the millionth - they'll just appear at the same time.
They do tend to follow a template but I was wondering if it's just a way of recording/sharing films watched.
Took me a few days to get around to watching it but I did enjoy the film and it wasn't predictable which was good.
I liked Daphne Ashbrook in it as well. The only other time I can remember seeing her was a misguided attempt to reboot Dr Who where she was just about the only good thing in the show.
It's funny but if asked to list the cast my first thoughts are the crew - Connery, Sam Neil, Peter Firth. It's after that I remember Baldwin - even though I liked him in the film.
As I remember it was started by a couple of guys in the UK as a joke but was then blown up by the tabloids and taken seriously by some people - it became part of the Von Daniken, Chariots of the Gods, trend.
When they stood up and announced it was us, plus some planks and string, a lot of people didn't want to believe them. I'm guessing it popped the bubble of that particular silliness and it dropped completely out of the mainstream.
