Film

[Hellyeah]

Finally got around to John Wick 4. It's grand, just more of the same. Probably time to let it go now, though.

Saw it up there on prime, just shy of 3 hours so gave it a miss. Not on a school night.
Weekend watch me thinks.

Well I'm watching one of my favourites again at the minute, 'The Revenant', in 3 part installments. The only way I can do it these days!

I took a break alright, it's fairly nonstop, this one.

Watched 'The Castle' an Australian comedy that'd probably resonate with anyone who spent any time in the country. Harmless comedy, good few laughs.

Went to see Killers of the Flower Moon today. Easily soars up to join the best of Scorsese's best. Genuinely loved every minute of it.

Edit: Did also get a bit of a chuckle, after all Scorsese's critique of MCU and DCU films, when one of the trailers before it was for The Marvels 😅

Is the running time arse-numbing?

I asked my dad if he wanted to go because he read the book recently but he said that he didn't think he'd managed to sit for that long without thinking of taking his dogs for a stroll.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Haha!

I've seen much shorter films that seemed much longer  All I can say is that the two of us found it engaging from beginning to end. It's not long because it's slow, and none of it seems unnecessary. Felt shorter than The Irishman, for example.

Nice one. I don't mind long films once they move a bit. In recent weeks I have re-watched the entire "Godfather" trilogy, "Heat", "There Will Be Blood" and "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" plus "Oppenheimer". None of them were a chore.

As mentioned above the latest "Mission Impossible" was a fucking dose to sit through.


Speaking of Scorsese - his film "Mean Streets" which is one of my all-time favourites is 50 years old this month. The Triskel is Cork is screening it for a few nights in November - I imagine that the Lighthouse or IFI might be doing the same.

[open face surgery]

Both IFI and Lighthouse are showing it.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The 70s remake. Never saw it before and really enjoyed it.

For some reason I could never get into Mean Streets. Watched it a few times now and still waiting for it to hit me. Best Scorsese movie would be some debate. Taxi Driver for me. After Hours for most underrated Scorsese film. Can't wait for his new one, just need to find a time I have an entire evening to spare!

Finally got around to watching Barbie and Oppenheimer. Really enjoyed both! The new MI was disappointing dross considering the previous few were cool (and coming off the back of how excellent Top Gun was. Funny that Top Gun was the runaway hit of last year and Barbie this year, one for the right, one for the left).

[CorkonianHunger]

Surely Goodfellas. Anytime it's on, I finish it. Or I'll watch a clip and go down a rabbit hole and end up watching the whole thing.

Would have said Taxi Driver but Raging
Bull is better. After Hours, King of Comedy, Color of Money, Cape Fear. All class.

Couldn't give a fuck about Wolf of Wall Street. Financebro mong fuel...

Watched that last week for the first time myself. Was good craic for sure

[Mithrandir]

I went to see a special showing of The Blob (1988) without not know much about it - one of the most fun cinema experiences I've ever had, incredible movie. Insane practical effects, and some of the best kills ever.

[Eoin McLove]

I saw that on telly one night when I was a kid and remember thinking it was deadly. Haven't seen it since.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I always get The Blob mixed up with The Stuff. I think I've only seen the latter, but I'm sold on checking out the former now.
