As part of the press tour for David Brent: Life on the Road going on Netflix Ricky Gervais has been eating hot wings on YouTube. I wonder how low he'll go to stay relevant.

Just seen an ad for Patriots Day for February 23rd. Is it not even fucking out yet? I thought by the way you were all talking that the DVD wasn't far away so I could stream it.
You could stream it now. The DVD screener was leaked ages ago.
Nothing.
Only watched the start as I was eating and the bomb was about to go off, but his eyes look black and his eyebrows look painted on.
Just seen Trainspotting 2.
Decent film, but doesn't really come close to the original in terms of capturing the zeitgeist, having as much to say or in terms of sheer vitality.
Some cracking scenes but also too much fan-service. And as much as I appreciate Begbie's madder moments, he almost reaches monster-movie dimensions here at times, which is going too far. I did likeToggle Spoiler
The Lego Batman Movie is ruddy brilliant, even better than The Lego Movie for me.
It does everything so damn well.
Watched Defiance last night. It's a decent war film, but watching Daniel Craig walking around in a leather jacket while everyone else froze to death in the winter was a bit stupid. Kind of predictable, but it's nicely shot and a well-told story.
Going to watch Moonlight tonight.
John Wick tonight in prep for no.2.
Just got back from watching Hidden Figures. Pretty good feel good film and just about manages to stay away from getting too mushy. Was dreading it a bit (it was the missus' choice) but it was alright. Costner is solid in it, as are all the leads.
Now take her to Moonlight. Everyone watch Moonlight, basically.
Zootropolis was excellent. Animated films are class when done right.
Are there any really terrible ones?
Does this new Wolverine film (and the old two) fit into the whole X-Men films timeline or are they separate spin-offs? If so, what's the order?
As far as I remember I've seen 3 X-Men films and the one that was set in the early days (with the German/Irish lad and the fella from Last King of Scotland in it). How many total are there of them if this new one isn't part of it?
They're all linked through whichever of the more recent X-Men films it was that had Patrick Stewart sending Wolverine back to meet his younger self. Including spin-offs I think there are eight films; the original X-Men trilogy, the more recent trilogy, and the two Wolverine films.
I found this. Does it look about right? Though I don't know why they've two chronological timelines and Apocalypse isn't in the first one.
Every movie released before Future Past is not canon anymore,anything after that is fair game.Logan(the 2017 movie)is set after Future Past many years after.Deadpool kinds stands on it's but it's part of the same universe and future timeline.Basically,FOX has made a mess of things and since Future Past has been trying hard to correct past mistakes.If these new reviews that have been pouring in are of any credence,Logan might very well be The Dark Knight levels of proper film credentials.
What percentage of moviegoers actually care about the chronology and accuracy and all of that?
The people most likely to go and see them regardless.
I watched Manchester by the Sea tonight. I don't really get all the fuss.
Because you're a heartless feck.
All too complicated. I'll just watch First Class when it's on TV again and forget the rest.
I thought it might be.
Was there much conversation about I, Daniel Blake? I've just finished watching it and felt like battering about half the characters in it. That's obviously the desired effect, but it made the whole thing a fairly unenjoyable experience, even though the two central characters are really likable and the story itself is excellent and well portrayed.
The little dig
You sad fucking twat.
Not a dig, I just don't see you as someone particularly interested in things with vast continuities you have to keep up with.
When you take as much pride in being stupid as you do, I don't think that can really be taken as a dig can it?
Someone's posting from the neck down again.
Comic series are always wandering off into alternate timelines. It keeps them fresh.
Well, Brooklyn was absolutely wonderful. Very pleasantly surprised, think it's on Netflix at the moment too so would recommend giving it a go if you can.
Did you do that Julian Clary clapping delight thing as you typed that?
I don't even know what Brooklyn is but I'm sure you could make Die Hard sound gay.
Did you get the TVs working separately, @Foe?
Sort of. I've been away so not worked out the proper solution but for now I can operate the TVs individually it's just a bit labour intensive. Worked magnificently last week with CL on one tv via BT sport and SSN on the other for the bulk scores coming in. Don't regret the decision at all.
So John Wick was pretty good. It was what it was. Nothing more and nothing less. Some very well shot action scenes, a really straight forward, bad ass story line, absolutely no emotional connections to any of the characters. Just simple death. Glad to hear Chapter 2 is basically the same, except x10 on the death scale.
I watched the Three Colours trilogy over the past few weeks and it's bizarre. I think the Red one (the last) is the best but it's clever how they all tie together.
World Trade Center - Nicolas Cage covered in dirt for two hours.
John Wick - An never ending sequence of headshots.
Jeepers Creepers - Everything a horror should be. Cheap, simple, fit girl in a tank top.
