Come on it wasnt the worst. Battleship was a million times worse. Pacific Rim was pretty entertaining. Agree could have had more fighting and those two nerdy dudes should never have been allowed but otherwise it wasnt bad.
I was in a focus group assessing battleship, and said at the time it felt the movie had been directed by a focus group. I could imagine the pitch for the movie, "it'll be like transformers, but on the water, with a female singer acting, the main man will prove himself to his girlfriends dad, all based on one of the most shit board games ever" etc etc.
Pacific Rim felt worse because of the wasted potential.

Me and my bro were walking around Las Vegas, specifically The Venetian, when someone asked if we'd like to do some focus grouping, we had to watch the pilot of what turned out to be one of those dog behaviour shows, in exchange for a free special gift, which turned out to be a fucking keyring.
On the plus side, as we left we discovered our first Krispy Kreme shop, double chocs were coming hot out the oven, NNNGGGGG

Berberian Sound Studio - starts out well, and the premise is strong, but it fumbles the ball part way through and makes some fairly dodgy stylistic choices towards the end. Toby Jones is great as a hapless introvert surrounded by crazy Italians. Really wanted to like it but it just didn't gel in the end.

I'm putting on a night of Bengali cinema at a new arts space called DIG in Lewisham next wednesday. Come along.
The spiel;
An Evening of Bengali Cinema.
Starting with* ‘Kahanni’ (2012), Directed by Sujoy Ghosh*
In Kahanni we are taken on a visceral journey through contemporary Kolkata; as seen through the eyes of Vidya Bagchi, a pregnant non-resident Indian (NRI) In search of her missing husband.
Vidya occupies a grey area between insider and outsider as she struggles to penetrate the heady world of Kolkata. This allows the audience to share in her discoveries as over the course of a hot and bustling 122 minutes the city reveals itself.
However at heart Kahanni is thoroughly a Thriller. From the first scene to the last, the story unfolds furtively from one waypoint to the next. Yet unbeknown to us beneath the surface the cogs have been set in motion towards an inescapable conclusion.
Following Kahaani will be;
‘Pather Panchali’ (1955), Directed by Satyajit Ray
A true classic not only of Bengali, but of world cinema. Satyajit Rays renowned career began with this his first film. Set in a remote village at the beginning of the twentieth century, it tells the simple story of a family and its children. Moments of joy and despair are both treated with the same understated clarity.
Simple, Intimate and beautiful.

They filmed some of the exterior scenes outside my old front door on the Bemerton Estate, just off Caledonian Road. The local scallies had to give up their alley for a couple of days.
I lived on Cally Road near that estate too and ended up being an extra in those scenes! I had to go 'BRAP BRAP BRAP'. I wasn't very convincing, so they strategically placed me behind a police van :(
The food was incredible though, three course meals + seconds!
