Did a bit of an epic movie double-bill last night which turned out to be a perfect pairing: Oppenheimer and Watchmen. Third or fourth time seeing each, both excellent, Watchmen even more so, imo, than Oppenheimer.

Jaysus-was it the Directors Cut Of Watchmen?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Ya, the Ultimate Cut one. So twas a 6h20 movie double-bill epic, if that's what you're getting at    It was one of those summer breaks obligatorily spent with family, so I needed a proper wind-down from it: got home yesterday to the place to myself, rolled up and just panned out all evening before having to get back to work today. Perfect.

Is the Ultimate Cut the version with Tales Of The Black Freighter included? I have the Director's Cut and Tales... on separate discs but always meant to pick that one up.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, that's the one. It's great. Seriously quality film in any cut though: perfect casting, perfect opening volley of scenes, including the opening credits which are just class, perfectly paced and timed world-building from beginning to end. A couple of naff moments here and there, sure, but def one of if not the best superhero movie of the 21st century (out of the increasingly low proportion of all superhero movies I've actually seen  )

[Carnage]

I really enjoyed it in the cinema. I'm a big fan of the comic and it's panel-to-shot accurate in a lot of spots, but I don't rewatch it too often. I must pick up the Ultimate Cut at some stage.

I watched the 2 part animated version recently, it's also very good.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

That I have never seen, must get onto it! I'm guessing it sticks to the (no spoilers) original comic ending?

[Carnage]

It does, and is better for it IMO.

The Big Lebowski  (DVD)

Not a 'story' per se, however it remains a great collection of performances, I will always forgive its flaws as a narrative.

I like films like that. Hangout films I guess you could call them. Less plot driven and more just like a collection of vignettes. Like Trainspotting, Kids, Dazed and Confused, Slacker, Withnail and I etc.

The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House. Can't remember another movie where so little happens. Bollox.

Exorcist The Beginning. Not bad at all actually and coincidentally, Alexi Hawley, who's brother Noah, is doing the new Alien show, wrote the screenplay for it.

Last two watched were 'Seed of the Sacred Fig' & 'Carlitos Way' 1st probably made by Iranian emigres? Great film, small cast of excellent actors.
Ye've probably all seen Carlitos Way, I missed it whenever it came out, that ambush scene in Central Station ...

[Pentagrimes]

Just out of Weapons and very much enjoyed it. I can see the Magnolia thing for sure, great bit of storytelling. The ending was gas.

Thought this was the best place to post. Anyone know or recommend anywhere to park near the lighthouse cinema ? Haven't been up to Dublin in an age and don't really know that area too well. The site recommended a place on queens street but you can't pre book. Anyone familiar?
