Films

I felt the same about Bottoms, the dialogue left me cold most of the time

I've never seen a film set in an American High School so it sounds interesting.

Ha ha ha!

The Holdovers is just brilliant. What a film!

Film club was "Bloody nose, empty pockets" last night, a good film to watch in a pub, a good film all round with a few emotional bits and quite a few laughs.

Off to see this tonight:

Score from Hiromi Uehara. Super limited cinema release so happy there was one near me.

Booksmart is worth a watch for the high school tropes.

Mubi are offering a 3 month subscription for £1 at the moment if anyone fancies it.

^^ Blue Giant was fucking excellent by the way.

Excellent soundtrack and the animation, particularly during the live performances, was next level. Story (based on the manga) was a little trite in parts but it had loads of heart. Definitely a wholesome love letter to jazz.

Shame it only got two days of release in UK cinemas but hoping the blu ray gets a UK release later in the year. Guaranteed buy from me.

Anyone seen Zone of Interest yet?

I'm off to see it in a couple of hours. I'm actually slightly nervous. Doesn't sound like it's going to be loads of fun.

Are you expecting it to be loads of fun?

Can confirm it was not loads of fun. One of the most powerful films I've ever seen. I'm in a bit of a daze an hour later!

All of Us Strangers at the cinema last night. A little close to the bone for Gen X queers. Love a good chamber piece film (not sure if right description but few main actors). Lingering sadness. Recommend if you enjoy leaning into your melancholy.

I'm off to see it this afternoon. Can't believe how much decent stuff there is out at the moment!

I worked on this one too 💪😎. In the sound department. Can confirm it was quite taxing

The sound absolutely made it to be honest!

I can't go to the cinema in quick succession anymore. Used to love it, festival passes etc. But now I feel like every film needs its space.

Finally got around to watching Triangle Of Sadness last night.

Really enjoyable if stressful experience. It’s on prime for anyone who has it.

Yeah it's good that could be due a re-watch

Think it's on bfi player atm as well

I also thought The Square was really good too by the same director.

You said it right.

Black Fiction is very good!

I enjoyed ‘Poor Things’ this afternoon. I tend to not read reviews or see trailers these days, just rely on Mrs M with film choices
