Watched all the Alien Earth, not bad, the sheep eye doing advanced maths was a great touch

Watching The Man Who Wasn't There. Really dark, funny and beautiful to look at.

2 episodes left. Really like it. The Eye deffo steals the show.

Jeremiah Johnson and The Last Castle over the weekend. Enjoyed them both.

The Last Castle was daft. Strange to watch Gandolfini in anything other than The Sopranos.

Highest 2 Lowest was Spike and Denzel taking Apple to the cleaners. And what the fuck was going on with the score?

Watched The Naked Gun and was pleasantly surprised with how fun it was. Right amount of silliness and didn't overstay it's welcome.
think Danny Huston was the only real misstep as he's a bad guy in everything.

The score is completely wrong for the film - it's sounds like it should be in one of those true story, made-for-tv, soapy "Married To A Murdering Bastard" things my mam has on when I call to the house.

But worse than that is how distracting and loud the whole score is. Once you notice the damn thing, you can't tune it out. And then, Lee just gets rid of it (thankfully) completely in the second half.

It almost felt like I was watching a workprint with a placeholder score added til they locked the finished version.


I had the same thought about Washington and Lee.

Denzel: "Let's remake a Kurosawa film."

Spike: "You're 70, D. I think you're told too old to be a samurai."

Denzel: "Alright. OK. I see, I see... Apple will give us $90 million dollars if we say we're doing it."

Spike: "Let's rinse these motherfuckers."

"We doin' a boutique Blu Ray too as those weirdo A24 nerds will buy any old shite"

"Downtown Abbey - The Finale" - grand easy viewing for a cinema trip of a pissing rain Sunday morning.

"Flight Risk" - eh... yeah. Passed 90 minutes.

"Highest 2 Lowest" - the biggest ball of shit that I have seen all year and I've seen "Flight Risk"...

Just have to agree about flight risk it was genuinely atrocious

Well imagine a film worse than that directed by Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington.

Might give that one a miss so lol

True Grit on d'telly. Good old flick even if I can only understand about 50% of what's being said  :laugh:

Hundreds of Beavers. Maybe a little bit too long, but genuinely hilarious in places. If you still bong, I'd say just go for it  :laugh:

Gave it a go when it turned up on Shudder but yeah, probably baked on weed is the best way to watch it.

Can definitely appreciate the work they put into it.
