Am I last to the party with 1917? What an achievement for Mendes! Superb cinema.

This freezing weather is great for the movies. We've the wee lad with us now watching Watership Down, since he's obsessed with rabbits. All in all, a Sunday experience fit for Simple Pleasures.

Great show!

Amazon is so much better than Netflix for an evening fillum, might ditch the latter, it rarely has anything that grabs me.

Funnily enough I thought 1917 was far better at home than I did watching it on the big screen

I have a big screen/white wall at home

Danny Trejo's new film 'Kitchen Knife' looks pretty fucking terrible anyway:

Don't hold your breath for the forthcoming sequel 'Butter Knife Butchers' either....

Watched the new Pixar film "Soul" the last night. Very good now I have to say.

Lords of Chaos - Not sure I was expecting but it turned out to be a black metal version of 'The Dirt' without any of the charm. Absolute dogshit.

Voiceovers, terrible acting, and a script that seemed to be at pains to include every single Mayhem anecdote ever mentioned on a metal forum. Avoid!

Tightrope - sleazy detective thriller with Clint Eastwood searching the red light district of New Orleans. Solid film, was nicely surprised at this one.

Underwater - Alien, but underwater. Would have been fairly ok if it wasn't for the attempts at humour throughout. Fairly poor.

[Born of Fire]

Finally got around to watching Tenet. Visually it's majorly impressive. The story idea is a nice little twist on your standard time travel malarkey but ultimately only vaguely interesting. The audio is all over the place though. Score and sound effects deafening you and then semi audible dialogue often mumbled through helmets/masks. Worth a watch but not worth a rewatch.

Possessor - Expected it to be very good, it wasn't.
Promising Young Woman - Expected it to be very bad, it wasn't.

I'm finally getting around to watching Parasite. I'm about ⅔ of the way through it and so far I'm struggling to see what the fuss was about.

It's all about the mental ending. I was the same as you.

I can't recall right now whether you've discussed having seen many Korean movies before, but it was seeming to me that basically anyone with very little experience of Korean movies was wowed by it, while anyone with lots of experience of Korean movies was like, "Well, it's good, sure, but not really anything I haven't seen before." Maybe there were people saying similar when Old Boy came out too though!

[Carnage]

I haven't seen many Korean movies TBH: the 'vengeange' trilogy, Thirst, Train To Busan, maybe a couple more but that would be it. It's OK, don't get me wrong, but I've knocked it off with about 40-45 mins. left, I'll finish it tonight. Maybe the hype meant my expectations were too high.

[open face surgery]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Never knowingly saw a Korean movie before.
