Saw the Backrooms last night. Loved it.

Yeah I went to Backrooms as well. I thought it was great up until the last 15 mins or so. I feel like it really fell apart at the end. It had a really creepy vibe for the first half though.

The last shot was  creepy as fuck

Just saw Obsession there. Man that was a lot of fun. Definitely one of those situations where the audience reactions really add to it.

Saw Backrooms last Friday. Great premise but the execution was lacking. I was enjoying the atmosphere but the appearance of the

Point Break,  d'original. Pure dumb ass class. Poor oul Anthony Keidis just blew his own toes off. I think he made the right decision sticking with singing and dancing rather than acting. It's just far too dangerous. Ironically, the scene where Keanu shoots his gun up in the air has become, in my mind at least, the Hot Fuzz scene.

Edit. I wonder if Tobias Forge took influence for his costume from this film.

Keanu: some man.
The Swayzeball: some man.
Gary Busy: some man.

It, along with Twister, are the two films I never get tired of. I probably watch them 2 or 3 times a year each. Gary Busey in particular is great in it.

Couple of Oscar bait films form a few years back:

The Worst Person in the World
About a woman in Oslo going through that late 20s/early 30s drift not knowing what to do with herself and feeling like all the options are closing. Pretty enjoyable, and with some heavy themes.

How to Have Sex
About 3 English teens heading off to Malia for a post-school exams debauched holiday. Plays more like an arty film though, rather than something like The Inbetweeners. Really it's mostly about consent and peer pressure. I enjoyed it though, even though at this age it's pretty tough spending time with a bunch of 'mad fer it!' teenagers on holiday. That drunken, English boorish thing.

Aye The original Point Break is a savage flick. Its pure shyte but class shyte. Great opening scene too. Brah.

It's totally radical and cowabunga, duuude.

Went to see Obsession last night. Thought it was great.

Stuck on The Long Goodbye on a whim last night, great stuff. Gould must have shredded his lungs in that role with the amount of chainsmoking he did. Sterling Hayden in top form too, and even a small (glorified extra) role for Schwarzenegger!

Elliot Gould was one of the coolest fuckers on the planet in the 1970s. Up there with Nicholson, DeNiro, Pacino, Caan, Beatty and Hackman.

He made shit of his career by being impossible to work with.

If you enjoyed "The Long Goodbye" then I really recommend another Gould movie called "Busting".

Finally got to this, good craic. Nice ambiguity to it. I have California Split lined up to finish my Gouldapaloosa trilogy.

I'm going to have to track down The Long Goodbye and watch it. Gould so frequently plays neurotic wet blanket characters that I can't even imagine him playing someone cool.

It's on Amazon, as I found out after watching a so-so rip on the Firestick.
