I went to see it in Imax and it was one of the best experiences I've had.

[Pepe]

I was planning to do the same but then I got lazy.

[Dark Soldier]

This is fantastic:

Reminds me of The Lives of Others where the wifey gets wiped out by the only milk van in Leipzig.

Watched The Interview, which is an Australian movie from nearly 20 years ago. Very good stuff.

[Baz]

Yeah Dunkirk’s alright. I had no idea who that bloke was til the end either. Was clever, that.

[Spoonsky]

The new Blade Runner is a bit slow and dull, isn't it? It probably could have been an hour shorter and just as good, minus a lot of Ryan Gosling silence and Jared Leto's poetic wankery. The cinematography was amazing (if self-indulgent sometimes tbh) and there were a couple awesome moments, but for the most part it didn't make me feel anything. I understand the desire to make a science fiction film that's also an art film but it went too far the other way for me.

@Lewis

Are you on Daddy's Home 2?

[Lewis]

I doubt I will pay to go and see it, but I certainly welcome it. Making his own films is one thing, but getting a lulzy family film with big names in it, and then not having to apologise for himself throughout the publicity tour, suggests that the great man is officially BACK. Hopefully people find time to re-visit How I Spent My Summer Vacation and realise how great it was.

Sounds like the perfect tribute.

[ItalAussie]

I though Blade Runner was... ok. Nowhere near as good as the original, but a story worth being told.

It's as much Drive 2 as Blade Runner 2 though.

[ItalAussie]

Watched The Interview, which is an Australian movie from nearly 20 years ago. Very good stuff.

Tony Martin is one of the best people in Australia. His interview program ("Enough Rope") was amazing.

[Dark Soldier]

Screener season has hit, Louis CK's I Love You Daddy.

[Kikó]

I watched Drive again the other day and it's better than I remembered. It's not as glossy as baby driver (which I'd equated in my head) and gloriously violent.

Followed it up with W. and it's a bit of a pointless one. I don't think it even gets out of second gear and then just ends. Karl Rove is an interesting character but that's about it.

[Baz]

Oh yes. Keep us updated.

[Henry]

Early reviews for The Last Jedi are exceptional. Hard to tell if that's just sycophancy from people who got to see the movie early though.

[Bernanke]

I'll let you know on Wednesday.

Ooohhh shit The Killing of a Sacred Deer has leaked

[Dark Soldier]

The Killing of a Sacred Deer enters top on my film of the year list, but I'm really starting to dislike Lanthimos' restricted, child-like dialogue.

Sacred Deer
Raw
Mother!

is the list so far need to think about the rest.

[Baz]

Just seen 89 is out on DVD and Blu-ray. I assume that means I can download it. Can’t wait for it, even as a Liverpool fan.

[Bernanke]

Initial thoughts:

TLJ is far better than Rogue One, and clearly better than TFA, but still has problems, especially in how juggling different storylines breaks up the tempo.

For a blockbuster though, it's top tier.

Also, fuck porgs.

[Henry]

Son of Saul is exceptional and ranks as one of the most disturbing things I've ever witnessed.

Hopefully I'll see The Last Jedi tonight or tomorrow.

Dunkirk is shit hot, but Nolan should think about getting someone in to write his dialogue for him from now on.

[Baz]

It’s account specific but some people can get £4.49 toward a rental from amazon video, to be used before January. Worth a try to see if you’re eligible - click the deal banner at the top of the page.

I just watched Swiss Army Man. It’s pretty special; would recommend.

Did people enjoy Mad max fury road? I thought it was an absolute mess.

[John Arne]

Current watching Titanic. Jack Dawson

I both enjoyed it and thought it was an absolute mess.

My top 10:
Skyfall
Django Unchained
Toy Story 3
Senna
True Grit
Hell or High Water
Hacksaw Ridge
Shutter Island
Dunkirk
12 Years a Slave

Drive just missing out.

So fucking boring, like every other Mad Max movie. How has a series of films made so much money on absolutely nothing ever happening?

Yeah, definately looked like there was room for one more on the wooden thing. She didn’t even try to budge over.

After painting her like one of his French girls, too.

Utter cunt.

They tested it on Mythbusters too with Cameron there making sure they had everything right.

They both could have lived.

You think you know people, eh? Really poor from Rose, really poor.

[John]

Didn't the Mythbusters thing prove the opposite, then they got it by adding extra buoyancy in the 'replicate the result' portion?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bit of both really. They called it plausible after they decided to strap the life jacket to the wood rather than keep it on Jamie.

Cameron actually said that the prop designers made a mistake as the board wasn't meant to be as big as it was.

[Giggles]

I like Kate Winslets yams.

[Baz]

I watched an Irish film called Cardboard Gangsters. It was decent enough and by the end I could just about understand every word but I was definitely struggling at the beginning.

Also watched ‘71 about the Belfast “troubles,” but a combisnation of a cranky baby and it just being a bit boring meant I didn’t reach the end. Will probably finish it tomorrow but it’s not much cop, really. That weird looking lad (the useless one in Dunkirk and I think the main character in that new Sacred Deer film) seems to be turning up in a lot. I probably just notice him because he’s so distinguishable though.

Also watched 89, continuing the numbers theme. Ian Wright, man. What a guy. Was well-made though and I enjoyed it.

[Magic]

Might watch The Big Sick. Or Baby Driver.

[randomlegend]

Both are great.

[Dark Soldier]

'71 is great Baz, you silly, silly fuck.

[Dark Soldier]

Mayhem is a belter if you like Crank, or just stupid, insane movies.

[Pleb]

The new Pacific Rim trailer looks proper garbage.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

The first was ace but didn't strike me as a film that needed a sequel. No Guillermo Del Torro this time either.

Speaking of sequels I hope the Sicario sequel, Soldado, isn't a let down.
