A triangle of sadness - a great black comedy, ffo succession and a less hamfisted version of what glass onion wanted to do satirising rich people

I lasted two minutes with Glass Onion. It seemed so contrived, self- consciously cool and ultra 'now' in how it was acted and edited. Awful crap.

I quite liked Glass Onion but then I do love a good crime caper (ive watched a LOT of Columbo). And unlike Triangle of Sadness, which is a fun idea dragged to death, it was  actually entertaining.

Watched William Friedkins "Bug" last night. Holy shit. What an insane film.

Glass Onion was OK. Anyone catch Tenet? Is it worth the time...

I would say it is worth the time, without committing to any greater praise than that. It's meh; will have you thinking while you watch it, but when it ends you'll instantly push it out of your mind and probably never think about it ever again, until someone asks you whether it's worth the time.


Started Glass Onion with the old fella over Xmas and turned it off fairly pronto. Fuck that.

Watched Ex Machina again last night. Such a great movie.

Ex Machina is brilliant. Such a good film! I watched Barbarian last night. Can't say I was a big fan now and it reminded me of Jeepers Creepers. The back story for one of the characters didn't really work I thought and the movie just tried too hard.

Bug is mint and Friedkin is one of the greats for Sorcerer and Exorcist alone.

Watched the nerdiest movie I've ever seen in my life a few days ago. Computer Chess (2013). It's a mockumentary set in the 80s and I really enjoyed it, laughed a lot. Recommended for anyone who's in any way into coding, chess, machine learning, etc.

Gator Bait. Savage film kinda mixture of Rambo First Blood And Deliverance.

Watched the Pale Blue Eye last night. Looked good, but not quite as tasty as the reviews I've read made it out to be.

Yup. Kind of a dull watch in the end, especially with the calibre of cast.
