Did some classics over the weekend: As Good As It Gets (still excellent), Mrs.Doubtfire (still grand), Jumanji (figured out about ten minutes in I'd actually never sat down and watched it from beginning to end. Also still grand, wee fella loved it anyway.)

A few over the weekend.

Nightmare Alley - didn't mind it. I like de Toro but this was a bit long, still enjoyed watching it but yeah nothing else to say.
Lamb - has bad reviews for being boring but enjoyed it a lot tbh.
Knife+Heart - wacky and French and very very gay (the plot is very much about gay porn in the 70s). Argento with Kenneth Anger and a sense of humor Noe? Don't know but was a decent watch.

Watched The Northman. Bit underwhelmed to be honest. It's good but the way people were raving about it I expected more. But it is shot beautifully.

Also watched Coda. Brilliant film. Some of the scenes are comedy gold.

Did you watch it from a torrent? Just wondering whether there's hardcoded subs for the Norse bits.

It was released as Piranha 3DD, wasn't it?

Haha.

Gianna Michaels is tasty. I have to see this film!

Streamed it. HD quality but no subs for the norse bits.

Watched Calvary last night, I've heard some mixed responses but surprisingly I actually enjoyed it, doesn't quite hit the highs as the directors' brothers films (In Bruges/Three Billboards etc), but a good watch all the same.

I think he tried to pack too much into it but it's good, and I enjoyed it more the second time.

Total dogshit.

Yeah... definitely not a film I'd be in a rush to give a second chance to.

Turned off the brain the other weekend and watched Beverly Hills Cop for the first time. Slightly annoying and very slightly enjoyable in parts.

Also watched Species - Amazing rack on that alien!

I watched Super Nature, Rickie Gervaise's new stand up show, last night and found it funnier than I expected to. He really pokes hard at the hornet's nest  :laugh:

Enjoyed it alright. Have ya watched his last one Humanity? Thought that went harder.

I don't think I watched that one. I'll give it a look.

Watched the new one. Quite uneven, but his stand-up usually is. Don't know why he insists on promising some kind of overall theme but then never fully delivering on that promise. Means all the ones of him I've seen feel anti-climactic when they finish. But in the bits where he's good, he can be really good.
