Only watched The Mist last week. Really good.

Blade Runner (director's cut)

Blade Runner 2049

Got both of these in the post recently. Not sure if the 'director's cut' of Blade Runner is 'the one' or not, looking forward to BR 2049 as I haven't seen it yet.

The Final Cut is 'the' one. Fixes a few technical errors, tidies it up a bit. Not that the others are bad (apart from the narration, that's shite).

You're in for a treat with 2049. It's great

The Black & White version of The Mist is brilliant. Hides the ropey CGI and helps add to the bleak vibe of the whole movie.

Both need to be absorbed fully I think, so leaving BR 2049 for a time when I can do that. Blade Runner isn't a movie you can just throw on, so I am thinking the same for the sequel.

To be fair I had to watch it twice because I watched it with the kids the first time and I missed too much so yeah definitely wait until you won't be disturbed

Just saw the IFI are screening Wake In Fright next Sunday.

Sae that myself about 10 mins. ago. I won't make it but it's highly recommended.

Watching Due Date which, despite its title, is fucking gas craic.

I went to see it tonight and I feel the exact same way but at the same time it was fairly unexpected, the whole thing. And the ending?? Interesting to say the least

It felt like watching three different films sewn together, and I enjoyed it largely because tbh it was such a mess. Trying to wed the kind of sentimental murk of a Disney film to a bleak zombie film was ..err..interesting. The ending is fucking nonsense (or is it spelled noncesence?) and is clearly just to set up the sequel.

Didn't know anything about the sequel until I looked it up after. At the time I thought it was meant to be interpreted as being all in his head as he was being torn apart by zombies which would arguably have been a better ending altogether

Watched F1 last night. Went into it without having any notion of what a formula one film might entail.

Mildly entertaining the driving scenes but sort of a load of shit as well and all of the actors seemed miscast

Just saw a little clip there of the new Spinal Tap movie due out in September, ..well and truly up for this!
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Watched Baskin last night. Seems like it has a lot of hype but I thought it was mainly ok. Very grisly and satanic if that's your bag. Five police officers go out on a call to an abandoned building and basically enter a version of hell. If you like Hellraiser or The Void it's worth checking out. They do manager to conjure a nice malevolent atmosphere throughout.
