Watched Gone Girl last night. It's a decent enough story and Pike's character is a proper piece of work but it does have the problem of having no main character to root for so I'm not really invested in how it ends for them. Though even given that it has a fairly bleak ending so well done on that, I guess.
Also one of these days characters in a David Fincher film are going to have to buy some proper lights so they're not sitting in the dark all the time.
That is the same issue with Pike vehicle I Care A Lot. In fact the last thing she was likeable in was Doom, where she was clearly told not to wear a bra.
Doom just reminds me what a weird career Dexter Fletcher has had.
Rosamund Peaks.
Get fucked, Shinners.
The Green Knight has a lovely close up of some spunk in it.
I assume that's all the information you need.
I am going to watch it tomorrow, though I doubt it trumps the money shot in series one of American Gods.
The Many Saints of Newark is worth a watch, but I'm not sure it was worth making. There were a couple of nice references for the fans, but otherwise it was just an average sort of film. The woman who played Livia was probably the best thing about it, but the lad doing young Silvio should never work again (then again actual Silvio was fucking terrible).
Not surprised about that.
The Green Knight was a bit of a snorefest, had heard as much. May aswell have just called it Gawain the Twat.
Bond tonight. The run time is obscene so it had better be good.
I was given the chance for a cast and crew screening but I rejected this time. Starts at 9 which is a bit too early for me to get to Leicester Square.
And that runtime is off putting that early on a Saturday or Sunday.
Well, that was pretty good. Pretty pretty good.
Called it from the beginning. It’s not a sopranos movie. It’s a mediocre mafia movie.Originally Posted by Lewis
You're right about the lad who plays Silvio, he's fucking terrible. Way over the top. What is going on with the timeline there too? Silvio and Pussy are not that much older than Tony. It's specifically mentioned in the show a few times that they all came up together. Especially Pussy, they're like childhood best friends or something.
But here they're full initiated in the mafia when Tony is still a little kid, even before the time jump. It's like they just shoehorned that in to have an excuse to get some young actors to do Silvio and Pussy impressions. Stuff like that annoys me. Paulie, fair enough. He was good too.
Livia was fantastic. I would watch an entire spin-off series of Vera Farmiga just playing Livia. She nailed it and was by far the best thing about it.
I didn't like the revelation of:

I sound like I'm just having a massive go at it, but it was fine overall I suppose, just nothing spectacular. It seems to be heavily leaning into the idea of a sequel at the end. At least that was my take on it. I would be really surprised if they do nothing else with Gandolfini's son as a younger Tony. Apparently David Chase has just signed some new deal with HBO too, which would also point towards that.
Silvio and Pussy were slightly older, just old enough to have been properly involved and separate from the Tony/Tony B/Ralph/Jackie group, but yeah not in the earlier scenes. They're made out to be the same age as Paulie, which obviously isn't the case in the series. I didn't really clock that at the time.
There’s a character called Pussy?

Watched Free Guy yesterday. Enjoyed it a lot - I'm exactly the target audience - but thought it did the game references well, jokes were solid and pacing was good. It didn't need as much of the YouTube/Twitch dickheads in it, but I guess that's just what things are like now.
Big Pussy.
The best post Sopranos thing to happen was Vito aka Joe Gannascoli joining a facebook fan group to try and sell his merch (his sole occupation these days it seems) and getting mercilessly trolled until he left within 24 hours.
No need to call Baz names.
Whether it's wrestlers, Boycie, Mark Crossley telling the same three Brian Clough stories to anybody who will listen, that sort of thing really is the saddest shit imaginable. Him and Bobby Bacala having a long-running feud over the precise ethics of cashing in on it all is funny as well.
'He's a fa-aaag!'
Lonely Virgil another good example.
The straw that seemed to break the camel's back for Vito was when someone asked him 'did they really put that pool cue up your ass or was that movie magic?'
Also watched it over the weekend and would agree. I enjoyed it, but the Mrs didn't so much. The fact that I knew all but one of the Twitch guys that popped up and she knew none of them, probably explains the difference in opinion.
Also watched Free Guy last night. When I saw the trailer I thought it looked absolute wank, but decided to give it a go off the back of the good reviews and was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't know who any of the youtubers were other than Pokimane from when she was a LoL groupie. Don't think it made any difference.
If anything knowing who the Twitch people were made it worse for me.
I was constantly thinking "Not this fucking twat" whenever one of them popped up onto the screen.
Which Twitch people are in it?
Ninja (ugh), Pokimane, Jacksepticeye, DanTDM, Lazarbeam and I'm sure there are a couple of others.
I've only heard of one of those, thankfully.
Jack annoys me greatly. Screaming Irish manlet.
No Time To Die for me on Thursday. I can't wait. I don't even care if it's any good, I just can't wait to see a Bond film in the cinema, it's been far too long.
I have to admit, if we ignore Candyman (which was bilge) being back in a cinema is great.
I don't know whether it's a thing to entice people back too, but it seems to be half the price it used to be as well.
What the hell is this.
Diana is a gay icon. It's a logical choice to have her and Freddie Mercury diffusing landmines in heaven.
Aisling Bea's English accent is unsettling.
For fuck's sake. Make something new for the love of God.
I hear the endings an absolute car crash.
At the very least, make it Home Alone in a crack house.
Prince Phillips Obscenian Rhapsody was a rare bight moment.
I see a white Fiat Uno and a flash
Henri Paul, are you drunk, have you got your seat belt on?
Remake the original with adult Macauley Culkin but everyone not acknowledging it.
Speaking of, he's going to make a cameo in the film as Kevin.
So is his brother "Buzz" too.
Buzz peaked in those films and spent the rest of his time at an all you can eat buffet by the looks of his IMDB.
Ive just watched the latest Candyman and it was good. I was expecting the killings to be way more brutal. 4/5
I enjoyed his cameo in Blue Ruin.
I have heard it is a bit weak on that front. Halloween Kills on the other hand has caused a petition about the brutal murder of several firefighters so that sounds promising on the gore front.
He peaked well before Home Alone when he was Ronnie Coleman in Little Monsters.

Last Night In Soho's reviews are mixed, to say the least.
Oh really? That's a shame, I loved the trailer.
I loved the original trailer when it was mentioned here, have you seen the new one that's on tv? It's a very different style, if I hadn't seen the original I wouldn't be bothered by it.
The only thing worse than a great trailer for a shit film is when there's a Smart Car or a Fiat 500 hiding in a parking space that you thought was free, just out of sight. Bastards.
