Nice, looking forward to it myself.

I watched a bit of a fantasy sci-fi b-movie last night, Strawberry Mansion, enjoyed it quite a lot. Kinda Kafka meets Philip K Dick with just a dash of Carpenter and, um, Picnic at Hanging Rock?

Austin Powers on the telly. Some craic. Reminds me of being 15  :laugh:

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.

I usually bring a couple of cans to the cinema tis grand

We saw it last week. Its fecking brilliant. The bit where he's getting attacked in the toilet and Tom Arnold is in the next cubicle and Austin is drowning the attacker in the jack's and roaring "Who does No 2 work for". Genius.

Oddly, I watched it last week as well. Pure nostalgia.

Watched Sorry To Bother You and The Green Book this morning. Enjoyed both. Main character in the latter was actually the real life story of the mobster gangster, turned actor, that played Carmine in Sopranos.

Good to know! Been meaning to watch that again some time, really enjoyed it at cinema. Sorry To Bother You also deserves a second schmoke watch  :laugh:

Recently I watched The lawnmower Man, Turbo Kid and Maximum Overdrive. Lawnmower man hasn't ages very well, Maximum is one of the worst movies ever made ha ha ha. Turbo kid is class, absolutely love it

The graphics in lawnmower man are fucking hilarious

yea, so long since I seen it. A remake wouldn't be a terrible thing

Finally got around to watching Decision to Leave last night. Was expecting it to be excellent, wasn't disappointed. As is often the case with that characteristically dense Korean story-telling style though, you really have to give it full and undivided attention.

Watched Uncut Gems tonight. A couple of great scenes, and an excellent ending, but I wouldn't be in a rush to watch it again.

Stressful watch but I really enjoyed it.

The Outlaw Josey Wales. What a film. From the confederate point of view, without being preachy. Brave heart and Gladiator owe this film a pint.

Based on a novel written by a high ranking Klan member, apoarently. Great film, one of Eastwoods's 4 classic westerns (Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter and Unforgiven being the other 3).
