Saw the whale last week. Great performance from Benny Fraser, and a decent flick (Jaysus some of the binge eating scenes are proper disgusting), but nothing special.

Chipping through this multi-part YT doc on the history of cyberpunk the last couple of days. As a documentary, it's not great, but it is a great multi-media overview of the genre, and dips into a lot of the more obscure references as well as the household name stuff: books, movies, comics, computer games, even RPGs.

Watched "Navalny" the other night. Great documentary, as good as any thriller. They don't hold back in asking him tough questions either.

On the RTÉ player currently - there's only 2 short ad breaks during it (about 1 min long each).

This is an outstanding documentary about the Daniel Holtzclaw case.

Can't say I am a big fan of the previous Creed movies, but the third one left me pretty underwhelmed.

We watched The Whale last night and it led to a much lengthier post-movie discussion than usual, coming from quite different initial impressions, which can only be a good sign. I was the one wasn't so sure about it at first, but comparing perspectives with herself afterwards was eye-opening, and then got me thinking about it in ways neither of us had considered. So yeah, that's the best sign of daycent art like! I'd be interested now to read the play and see how many of the layers were already present in the source material.

good man. I'll watch that. There was another cool one on synth I watched awhile ago. I'll leave a link later on

Rise Of The Synths is a decent watch. https://lookmovie2.to/movies/view/9320300-the-rise-of-the-synths-2019

Gave Sicario a second go tonight. Saw it when it first came out and for some reason Emily Blunt's performance really irritated me. That wasn't the case this time, she was grand. But still found the film only grand too, at best. There's really not much to it. Like, no exaggeration, there were episodes of Narcos, maybe even many episodes of Narcos that were better.

The Ice Storm. I saw this many years ago and forgot everything about it other than the atmosphere. Man, what a painful ending. Fuck. Damn good film.

[Carnage]

I must watch that again, I remember very little about it other than that the kids put in good turns and Sigourney Weaver was a cold-hearted fucker in it.

Watched Shoot 'Em Up there on Friday night, haven't seen it since it first came out. Statham levels of over the top action set pieces, but Clive Owen bringing it a bit of added panache and Monica Bellucci bringing every blessed thing she got!

Dipped into the movie collection, and decided to give 'Roadhouse' a watch for the first time in how long. Completely ridiculous film but enjoyable for that reason, would never be made nowadays- 80s testosterone overload. Plus, two cast members who would eventually star in 'The Big Lebowski'.

John Wick 4, total cinema experience. Loved the first one, second was okay, thought the third one was great, but this one is arguably the best. Its Police Story on steroids. Some sour faces in the cinema at the length, thought it was class.

Looking forward to that big time, but the wife just laughed in my face when I suggested going at the weekend. Could go on my own I suppose, sneak in a daddy naggin and come back shteamboats. See how she likes that.
