Films

Carry on Netflix. Fucking awful series of ripped off scenes from much better films. Bateman was a rubbish villain and Egerton has a crap run.

Egerton has a crap run.

But does a lot of it, and has it brought up in the dialogue way to often as if it's of any real importance.

The best Christmas film is Das Boot. (The five hour version obvs.) It has that cosy sit-close-to-the-fire feeling. Which is all you need for a Christmas film. It's five hours of that feeling, non stop. Unbeatable.

Bonus: the cameraman wore a Cinelli sausage-style cycling helmet to protect his head when running through submarine hatches. https://vimeo.com/19688881

Christmas Films - someone told me to watch Dead Bang. I’d never heard of it before tonight.

Lovely bit of festive necrophilia.

Saw the Bob Dylan film A Complete Unknown tonight. His music has never done much for me but I thought the movie was excellent

Haha!

This, very much this.

A Private War, being a bit topical since Assad's fall. The directing and script is a bit simplistic, but Rosamind Pike's performance is great (and she's almost unrecognisable). Best supplemented with "Storyville: Under the Wire".

How did you get to see it? It's not released in the UK till 17th Jan and 25 Dec in the US

His music has never done much for me

Everyman opening party for their new cinema in Stratford .

Seen the trailers and an extended interview with Chalomet.

It does look fantastic capturing the Greenwich Village 60s vibe.

Reminds me of the coen brothers film Llewyn Davis

You could do worse than 'Triangle of Sadness' on iPlayer.

Not much worse though.

Thanks again to @EB , I've watched two films on mubi so far.
The Substance, good film, thought Demi Moore was very good, I would say I endured it rather than enjoyed it (I'm a bit queasy with 'body horror')
Tonight I've watched Carol, what a beautiful film.

Decided to finally watch Zone of Interest as a little pre-Xmas treat. About 2/3rds of the way through and all I can say is fucking hell.

Really enjoyed The Substance. Was properly out there, they really went for it to deliver something not much less than exceptional. Recommend.

Re. Carol I don't really rate it. Well shot but not even the best lesbian flick of its year, I thought Summer Time was infinitely better.

I went in blind, didn't know anything about Carol, but it seemed well rated on mubi, wasn't watching it as a lesbian flick, was watching as a crimble film,so I'm guessing that , by it's title, Summertime wouldn't have worked.

If you want another festive lesbian film, Happiest Season is worth a watch.

For more of a gay vibe, Single all the way is stupid fun and has Jennifer Coolidge in it.

No worries 👍

I think Zone of Interest is one of the best films I've ever seen. Watching it is really stretching the definition of "treat" though.

Agreed. I'm still traumatised but it felt important to experience it.
