    Fun fact: the town centre layout of Gremlins is the same as Back to the Future, as they were filmed on the same lot.

    Yeah I tried watching Gremlins for the first time as an adult, reached the same conclusion. Not sure why I never watched it as a child, it was on TV often enough.

    Heath Ledger > all the Hemsworths.

    I watched Brightburn last night. It's pretty meh. It's not often I say a film could have gone being a bit longer but I think that's the case with that so I'd have been a bit more invested in the characters and their fates. I think it also tries to do the thing where in a bunch of the 'horror' scenes it tries to conceal the baddie even though we know exactly what's going on. Waste of a half-decent idea.

    I watched Amundsen whilst it was on the iPlayer. What a fascinating life of an absolute mad bastard. I knew about the South Pole expedition but didn't know he conned Norway and his crew into it. And his death is all kinds of stupid, when you think about it.

    I mean, if I was on the same craft as Amundsen when he flew over the North Pole, I wouldn't set out to do it again just so Italy could claim a win. Silly fascism.

    Army of the Dead was absolute dogshit. Plot holes, terrible acting, paper thin script. Would avoid unless you are a fan of the genre and even then I would caution wasting two and a half hours of your life.

    I got back from a weekend away and the wife wanted to watch these, recommended by a couple I know who have admittedly poor taste. If I wanted to watch a class film I'd stick one of my 4K discs on

    Just watched this and thought it was pretty toss. It was interesting hearing about his upbringing and his early career but the pacing was terrible, how it jumped between him telling a story from the 60s to about how he felt in hospital after his stroke in 2018, and then back. Plus it just stops at 1999, after giving the CL final far too much of the overall time. I can’t even remember when he left United, off the top of my head, but it sure as shit wasn’t 2000, like a non-football fan might be lead to believe off the back of this.

    Didn’t even mention the other CL final he won, or the one(s) he lost.

    Honestly, quite diabolical the more I think about it.

    Plus the only other people in it apart from his sons are Gordon Strachan (played for him at Aberdeen), Archie Knox (old assistant manager), Cantona and Giggs. Surely Arsene Wenger would’ve done it, and the rest of the ‘92 lot. Ronaldo, even.

    Nah. Proper disservice to the greatest manager we’re ever likely to see in our lifetime, cos he clearly insisted on letting of his sons (Jason) make it rather than someone who knew what they’re doing.

    I watched My Octopus Teacher last night. Good, but if I didn't know it'd won the Oscar I wouldn't have been thinking this was the best documentary of the year. Even at just under an hour and a half it felt a little dragged out and self indulgent because the fella's a bit of a wet blanket. Love an octopus though and it showed some stuff I hadn't seen in the various Blue Planet series and the like so I liked it all the same.

    It wasn't meant to be a biography of his entire life and the pacing was intentional to focus on his brain tumour cut with his early life. The focus on his earlier life and what formed his character was much more interesting than just going through his entire United career.

    I watched the version of Pet Sematary from a couple of years ago. It's a bit pants, though I was surprised that they went for the ending they did given it's a little darker than the original.

    The switcheroo doesnt work in the remake as it hinges on Gage being the same as the cat: disarmingly cute. Tween angst is a snorefest.

    There’s some corkers in there but be prepared for many, many similar outings as above.
    Just noticed this.

    We printed off the list in 2017 and are working through that version, and then we'll probably mop up any bits from the current list once we've done. We've got about 75 left to go.

    I think the top 200 or so are pretty fixed but the bottom 50 rotate constantly. They're all about 8.1 and there's probably about 0.00001 between them all, so probably doesn't take much to shift everything around. Only about half of the bottom 50 last time I looked on the website are on our list, and they were all old films.

    What was the last decent horror film you watched? Genre seems to be in the pits. Hereditary has me tempted.

    Hereditary is excellent. The Conjuring is one of my favourites, bucked the jump scare trend at the time. The Babadook is worth a look if you havent seen it. It Follows also good. I liked Summer of 84 but not as good as the former titles.

    Just watched Army Of The Dead - absolute bollocks from start to finish. Some good shooty bits but otherwise nonsense. Very hard to care about any of the characters due to the lack of effort to give them a back story
