Leisure was a great early indie album.

I loved the early stuff. Modern Life is Rubbish was good too. The Hyde Park gig in 2009 has a lot of good memories

When the US Politics and Films threads collide

Great taste

Was going to check out the Ford Presumed Innocent on Prime, but before I got there I spotted that No Way Out is leaving it in 5 days so giving that a re-watch. Highly recommend. Will Patton puts in a truly terrifying performance.

Whats the story on this never heard it.

The new trailer for Colin Farrell's THE PENGUIN has been released.

Incredible, the voice, the walk, the prosthetics.

Looks very promising, 8 episode mini series according to IMDB

Looks great, Sopranos x Joker vibes.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - Dir Guy Ritchie.
I would avoid this for a number of reasons - No tension, awful dialogue and dull action scenes.
Seems as if they wished emulate Inglourious Basterds (a far better film) and failed significantly, even has Til Schweiger (Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz).

RDJ as Dr Doom in the marvel films, feels like they have ran out of people to cast at this point.

I’m 1/2 way through this. Tbh I’m enjoying it. It’s no inglorious basterds but very watchable.

The whole cast make it imo

RDJ playing doctor doom makes no sense to me.

There are so many capable actors out there who aren’t currently iron man.

Iron Claw. A really grim tale, assumed it’d be fun and glamour and 80s excess. Fuck me was a wrong, and now reading up around the story sounds like things were actually worse and various tragedies were edited out.

Unbreakable, Split, Glass
The M. Night Shyamalan trilogy of 'Superhero' films. Binged on one night.
I like the style they are shot in, the acting's great, they fit together nicely. The stairs scene in the first, grisly.

Yeah it's a grim story, can see why they glossed over some stuff. Thought Zac Efron was really good.

Iron Claw was great.
Just watched Challengers, almost as sexy a sports film as buff men in tights, great score by your man with the long nails, surprised he can press the buttons that quick without snagging one.

Totally shit casting and shows how far marvel has lost its way now

Anyone caught I saw the TV glow yet? Hoping to see it tomorrow night

No - will wait until streaming etc but keen to hear a review.

A pal and I want to see Romulus together, but we are separately out of the country until early September. I can't find a cinema still showing it then. Do you think two weeks then it will be done? Any screens likely to show it in September?

Nah I think it'll be in the cinema for longer than just 2 weeks.

Watched Deadpool vs Wolverine.

Highlight for me was the multiverse Wolverine search that included references to Hulk 340, X Men 251, Wolverine 1 (1988) amongst others.
My wife called me a nerd afterwards, but I have been eyeing up Hulk 340 for a while (Loves me some Todd MacFarlane covers and that is a great one)

Rest of the film was meh, worst of the Deadpool films, not a patch on Logan (pun intended, albeit niche Wolverine #1 reference)

Rented 'Abigail'

Kidnap film with a twist, if you seen the trailer it is not a twist, but going in blind it pivots drastically

Plenty of tropes and plot holes, but its tongue is nestled in the cheek and everyone is in the know.

I liked it.

I watched The Boy And The Heron last night. Absolutely loved it. Really beautiful and lots of emotional depth. I normally hate dubbed films but chose that over the subtitles versus. I'm glad I did, Robert Pattinson was just absolutely goes for it.
I do like some Miyazaki/ Studio Ghibli stuff but I'm not a fan boy by any stretch. Definitely up there with their best I reckon!
