Anyone seen Killers of the Flower Moon yet?
After seeing MDPOPE referenced whenever the topic of “shock movies” is discussed, I’ve finally got my hands on The Most Disturbed Person On Planet Earth trilogy.
A controversial shock video mixtape containing some of the most disturbing videos found on the internet put together by underground filmmaker Thomas Extreme Cinemagore. The footage you are about to see is an electronic documentation of the worlds most darkest, obscene and shocking media. This film has been created to prove that my infamous name is not a joke. I set out to create the most disturbing place of media in the world and believe I have succeeded.

Watching the first one now. The low quality of the majority of the videos makes it easier to watch, I’ve skipped through a lot of people eating poo though. Watching 1 guy 1 jar or whatever it’s called with headphones on is absolute savage though, hearing the glass scraping together.
I’ve definitely seen worse after spending an hour on documenting reality though.

Everything OK at home?
Aye you alright Baz? That's the shit you'd watch when 15 thinking you were a tough nut.
I am a tough nut.
Too much animal stuff for me tbh.

Oppenheimer just leaked if anyone is after it.
Saw Cobweb the other day, was alright til it absolutely shat itself in the third act.
Red Rooms (2023)
If you've any concept of the Internet, or the Deep Web, you've probably heard of Red Rooms. This isn't about that, despite rhe title. Its a character study.
A criminal trial for 'The Demon of Rosemont', a brutal serial killer who massacred three young girls (16, 14, 13) in a supposed 'Red Room' for profit, live. Hence the titlle. But the film is not about him, it is about Kelly-Anne.
She is a model, professional poker player. A good life, beautiful apartment, money. However she attends the trial, every day. She sleeps as if she is homeless in the backstreets so she can queue to make the court.
Her motives, her reasoning is unknown. That is the film. It is her. The film does not let anything slide, or be known until the last thirty minutes where it dripfeeds her goals, her reality bit by bit.
Juliette Gariépy is mesmerising as the lead. She befriends Clementine, a groupie for the alleged killer. You don't know why. There is constantly something simmering under that surface. The horror, the barbarity is kept primarily off screen. You hear snippets of the 'Red Room' videos. A few seconds of video depicting the killer blood soaked. It is not horror, but it is horrific.
It ends with an answer, but leaves more questions thereafter. A clear study of the almost terminally online, desensitisation, human nature, curiosity, the death of emotion.
By far my film.of the year, it absolutely captivated me. A fantastic work and one I'll hold high for a long long time.

I'm off to see that next weekend DS. It's playing in Leeds as part of the film festival. That and something else, the name of which escapes me right now. Obviously very much looking forward to it, even more so now.
The Killer - Imagine if Get Carter or John Wick were boring.
Incredibly underwhelming.
Yeah, I was expecting big things based off of Twitter.
The Smiths being great is all I took from it. V boring.
Anyone watched this Saltburn?

I heard Barry tongues a shower drain in it desperate for another mans ejaculate, so I've managed to stay away so far.
More importantly has anyone seen Napoleon?
Sounds pretty grim indeed but my interest is piqued.
I'm a twit
Yes & yes.
I really liked Saltburn. Its a bit weird in places, such as the scene mentioned (its a bath not a shower though) & at least one other thats possibly even further on the scale, but Barry gives it the full beans & its an interesting watch throughout.
Napoleon was pretty solid & JP is always good these days, but its a fairly standard historical biopic.
Saltburn is fucking brilliant. Saw it last night.
That Ronnie documentary really is an incredible watch.
I liked it but I wish they'd have Last Danced it and had the current footage spliced with footage of him winning his first six, done over multiple episodes. I can see why they didn't as I'm sure their thinking was that it'd have broader appeal if it was shorter, but I don't think anyone's watching it who isn't interested in the first place, irrespective of the length, so for me we ended up with a botched halfway house.
It was originally made for Eurosport iirc. So prob no budget to stretch it. Sure it aired first on there earier in the year.
You could probably have Scorsese direct it and it wouldn't get many 'new' people to it.
Same problem with Napoleon. Good film but definitely would have benefitted from being a ten episode TV series. So much stuff glossed over.
The genesis of it confused me too, in that I'm adamant when it was first announced it was announced as a Netflix special. It then took absolutely ages to be released and it shows up on Amazon.
I think I've seen the Eurosport one you're referring to and if I have, it was a different thing albeit covering the same subject.
Finally met the first three people to request shit gets drawn out into more episodes, I thought you people only existed in the industry.
The beauty of it was in the fact the snooker was very much a background theme, almost a distraction. I won't make claims like it can be enjoyed by those without an interest in the game as I don't know but what is clear is it's a fantastic portrait of the human psyche. Truly befitting of the subject matter.
I think it's interesting that someone who is that good at something (I mean, in Ronnie's case literally the best person at something who has ever lived) has that much SELF DOUBT and it did a really good job of getting under the skin of that. Now you could say that he's unique, but my gut would be he's just worse at managing it/boxing it off than a lot of other people, who all have the same thoughts.
Struck me as well that if his Dad hadn't been sent down he'd be well into double figures for World Championships.
Amol Rajan did a fascinating interview with him recently. Well worth a watch.
Having just watched it, disagree hard with Yev, think it's much better in the feature-length form. His career has not really been episodic like a team sport inevitably is, his career has been like one of those earthquake detector lines - up and down, sometimes violently so, but all along one continuous line. The snooker table always looks the same and look, there's John Higgins again, and it doesn't matter to the narrative if it's 1998 or 2022, the themes are the same and the man is a constant. There was no need to break it up and have to intro and outro several times like you do with episodic TV.
Thought it was fantastic. The sound editing, the way they used his dad's voice only (until the very end) to reflect the absence and distance, the way they showed Ronnie interacting with people. The scene with him and Jimmy White having breakfast I found strangely moving.
I guess ultimately, I just wanted a lot more of it. 90 minutes on someone who I think you yourself have said is the only true genius in sport these days just didn't seem like enough.
I suppose they can come back and do a longer job when he gets the 8th.
The trailer for Audi vs Lancia looks fucking terrible.
Saltburn screener has leaked
Leave the World Behind on Netflix has a lot of promise with the premise and Sam Esmail helming it but it just keeps building up only to shit the bed at the end.
Watched John Wick 4 earlier. It's very, very shooty. To the point where it even echoes the same scene within the same sequence. Also, his magic bulletproof coat, repeated getting hit by cars and some ninja blind geezer mean it winds up in pure nonsense territory by the end. Still though, Paris/the dog is cool
Just watched it.
The end of it.
I can’t find it
Edit: got. Cheers mike

Produced by the Obama's too, which feels somewhat ominous.

A few days on from watching it and it has stuck with me a bit, which I always reckon is one of the signs of a good film.
Well yes compared to The Killer which I genuinely can't remember what happened after the opening.

His accent is an absolute travesty.
Highly amusing watching a film like this where the main character is from fucking Prescot though.
I'm a twit
Honestly can’t get over how bad his accent is.
I'm a twit
It's so jarring when you see a film that is supposed to feature your local accent (especially if it's strong) because invariably it gets fucked up. I remember hating the series on ITV about the guy who faked his own death on a canoe, because everyone did classic Durham accents but Seaton Carew's isn't like that. Technically, Seaton Carew is County Durham but the accent is a lot more Middlesbrough influenced. They were only about 10 miles out and 99% of the audience wouldn't have had a clue anyway, but it put me off it so much.
The last two England managers have both spoken with a very distinctive Croydon accent (we're plaayeeng good footbawl) and yet I think basically everyone outside south London is oblivious to this, it probably just sounds like London to most ears. I can pick up Newcastle to Sunderland to Middlesbrough differences, but no chance beyond that. Scouse all sounds the same to me but I am informed that the wirral/werral is very different to Liverpool proper.
I haven't seen it but I doubt The Phantom of the Open has genuine Barrovian accents.
It was a good film. I cried.
The worst accent in a film is Don Cheadle's British accent in Ocean's 11. Like his prep was watching Eastenders whilst off his tits on smack.
Charlie Hunnam in Green Street is a pretty infamous one.
