Films

First one I watched of all 3. Absolutely blew me away, but then it's a different type of film from free solo and dawn wall.

Not seen, thanks for good suggestion. Is on Netflix currently.

'Just a Dress'
Looks awesomely bonkers

I missed that at Belfast film festival definitely want to see it.

New documentary on Diego Maradona is great

I was going to go with someone who has zero interest in football whatsoever - would they still find it interesting?

My sister definitely did, so yes.

Charlie Angels reboot trailer dropped today, a film that no one asked for to be rebooted.

Another vote for Diego here, Mrs M loved it too and she’s not a big football fan. The footage they’ve unearthed is fabulous.

The story about the making of the film would make a good documentary itself.

Went to see "in fabric" today.

A movie about a cursed dress...and obsessions with shopping / perfect size / fashion ... And, em, washing machines?

Part gallio, part very British scarfolk council with some dark and deadpan humour. Wanted to see something strange did not disappoint.

Finally got around to watching Sorry to bother you last night.

Fantastic film, really, really enjoyed it.

Wow, Netflix. Wow.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 is on Netflix, if anyone is in for some ultraviolence & Vince Vaughan being amazing

Just watched that. Not a date movie.

Oh I really wanted to see that!

depends on how into face stamping your date is, I guess.

So last night was

Midsommar - don’t expect things going bump in the night, it’s a trip that leaves you traumatised along the way. At least as good as Hereditary.

Armstrong - some interesting background on the man, it does what First Man failed to do

I'm off to see Midsommar tonight. I don't know anything about it, going in totally blind!

Oh and I watched The Beach Bum yesterday. I really enjoyed it, I was expecting it to be pretty similar to Springbreakers but it really wasn't. Made me want to chug a bunch of beers though.

"There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says, 'Come in 007,' and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman."

The amount of blokes triggered by this news is just delicious, good old Phoebes.

Midsommar - always applaud something trying to be different but ultimately i wanted to be scared or at least unsettled and was unfortunately neither.

Mostly good fun though with some (intentional) laugh out loud moments .

You’re made of sterner stuff than me, I was very unsettled, but already established on the mice thread that I’m a bit squeamish. Agree with the lol moments.

In my top 3 this year with Apollo 11 and Maradona, I want to see them all again

I enjoyed Midsommar. Definitely more unsettled than scared at any point. I don't want to give too much away because I think my enjoyment was enhanced by knowing nothing about it before I went in.
I'd like to see it again, the seat I had was absolutely terrible, right at the front as far to the left as you could get.

Hellboy was a bit crappy, and not because it wasn't Ron Pearlman, all just a bit cheesy and too much crap cgi.

jeez, the trailer for fast and furious : calvin and hobbs looks SOOOOOOO shit, not like the rest of the franchise were any good, but this looks just awful,
