The popcorn was unlimited though and they provided melted butter by the coffee cup to cascade over it.

just press the button, Kim. End it all.

I actually thought that was a really clever quote/reference that I wasn't getting and was Googling it, then I finally realised what you meant.

I didn't even finish 1 tub of popcorn but I've got to be honest, the butter was amazing.

Are you guys talking about the sex scene? Because I thought it was super well done, with just the right amount of horrifying.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I didn't like Bladerunner 2049 all that much. I enjoyed it but I doubt it will stay with like the original. Or at all.

Crucially, it didn't do that weird semi-religious futuristic dystopia intrigue thing to me like the first film. It just looked like a very pretty modern sci-fi flick starring 'strong but silent' hunk Ryan Gosling. The first wasn't gorgeous, it was moody and ominous and grotesque.

It was too respectful to the first but lacked it's realness.

still clever tho, rite?

Um. I think so. Maybe? I didn't think it was bad, it did have that this is what will happen in the future horrifyingness to it...but for me it was slightly too long and I flipped from 'ARRGHHH' to 'OMG so Dorky'

managed 3x 660ml beers between the wait for doors to open, trailers and the first half of the film. got to point of actual bladder pain by about 1h40m. and again by about 2h25m causing me to be that guy who gets up in the middle of the film (twice!).

Bladerunner 2049, the most beautiful way to be bored out of your mind

I found the dialogue in that scene very much cheesy cheddar explosion.

The AI for company idea itself wasn't a bad idea though and they took it to sorta logical conclusion... bit 16 year old romantic but would like to see it return :)

BR eleven to nine.

fell asleep at twenty past ten.

mrs hell liked it.

not for me.

The Snowman - predictable, boring.

BladeRunner 2049
This film is beautiful. And was absorbed in it from the get go.
I think the story was even quite strong.

But the fight scenes were rubbish and there was no acting at any point. Though I think that is kinda the point.

Would watch again. Will watch again.

also - there's literally LOADS of parking in the future.

I was underwhelmed by Bladerunner. Needed more substance to go with the style. Also uncomfortable with the levels of boobs.

Too perky, droopy or just unsymmetrical?

Battle without honour or humanity: yakuza classic (1976). The script is based on newspaper articles / books on real life yakuza history.

Drug dealing, beatings, rights about the bottom line of crime, government corruption, loyalty fault lines, male bravura and no real heroes.

Flatliner's the remake why did I go see that, pish. 1/10

BR2049 - Looks amazing, 1st act is well paced, 2nd act dragged out about 30 mins too long and 3rd act I felt was a bit rushed. Was also sad that zimmer scored it and not JJ as he left it about 2 weeks before it came out apparently! 6/10

Few horrors out the now which might have potential but I'm not holding my breath, at least its the cineworld card and doesn't really cost me.

Wind River was surprisingly watchable.

Hackney Picturehouse added to the ambience with their complete lack of heating.

Weird experience on Thursday night. Went to Cineworld IMAX Laser Leicester Square to see Blade Runner 2049. After 2.5 hrs the projector jammed 5 mins before the end. They rewound about 30 mins and we had to re-watch all the climactic sequences to get the last couple of mins of resolution. Insane - didn't expect this from a multi million pound IMAX system. Buy a new hard disk IMAX!

Finally got to br 2049. Well, I did enjoy it. Pacing didn't worry me, product placement is hilarious. Beautiful to watch, they really crafted it. Some very nicely done parts. Had all the visuals, all the right parts but still felt lacking. Hard to say what, maybe missing a soul? Maybe it was just Ryan gosling.

Saw Death of Stalin last night - fantastic movie, so many great performances. Love Ianucci's ability to put together a cast of Hollywood heavyweights, stage actors, television actors and comedians and not have it turn into a curate's egg.

I saw it on Sunday and loved it too. Rupert Friend was awesome as was Michael Palin.

My wife hated it though - i think she struggled to match the comedy with some of the darker elements of the film - that and it was super dry humour for the most part which isn't really her thing.

Spent a lot of the movie wondering who Rupert Friend's performance reminded me of - turned out it was a young Michael Palin.
