Rewatched Basic Instinct just now. Someone should edit that to cut out all the parts Sharon Stone is not naked. The rest is just dead air.

Watched An Cailín Ciúin last night. Ah, me poor aul cynical croí was briste. Lovely film.

Gremlins 2 last night. Class flick

I prefer the original, Greimlíní a Dó.

So good. That and Charlotte Wells' Aftersun were my favourite films this year.

Bhí an uaigneas orm nuair a chonaic mé é. The English language version really failed to get across the loneliness of the rural isolation of the main characters and their dog Stripe

It completely missed the point of not giving An Greimlóid any uisce beatha after midnight.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together and welcome onstage, Andy Cunnungham......with suntroke.

 Is that what that is  ???

Watched Unbreakable and the second one Split the other night.Both pretty enjoyable, James McAvoy is brilliant in Split, some creepy characters he can do!

Haven't seen Split yet actually. Keep forgetting about it. Thought Unbreakable was not bad. A bit odd in it's way

Now, I am fairly binned, but getting around to that re-watch of Banshees. Went into it this time with the whole civil war metaphor thing in mind, but now better than that it's striking me like someone took the whole multitude of elements of the Irish civil war, with all its ins and outs and history and culture, and put them together into a different picture. Havin' a great buzz. And the music is really doing it for me this time round too  :laugh:

Would you care to elaborate and let the rest of us clearly uneducated and ill-informed types in on it, so.

Definitely binned. I got that whole notion of the futility of it all the first time round but I guess the thing works because of the level of discussion it's getting even here.

Anyway, just watched A View to a Kill here. One of my favourite of all the bond films, definitely of Moore anyway. Just the right level of absolutely fucking stupid for my tastes. Little bit too long maybe, but watching it reminds me of why I think the Craig bonds are shit.

Ah, I don't think that way. Nothing is ever going to be for everyone, and if you didn't like it yourself, then that's grand. "I've had my fun" and all that. Sure I was talking about Heat on here and then with some mates after and they were talking about things they got out of it that I just hadn't at all. Which just means it's doing it's job as a piece of art, right? Diddly-aye.
