Film

Watched Sinners last night. Thought it took awhile to get going, but once it did I found it very good. Funny in parts too, good for spooky season viewing.

Ya, I thought it was good. Was expecting something far more mental given how divisive it was.

Watched Weapons the last day. Enjoyed that. Must check out Barbarian.

cool, I've seen Barbarian and thought it was good for the most part. Weapons worth the watch?

[Pentagrimes]

Weapons is definitely worth a watch

[Sworntothecans]

And like Barbarian before it:Go in blind. Makes it more fun!

Rewatched Platoon for the first time in many years after talking about it here. In fairness it was a lot better than I remember, though I still prefer Apocalypse Now. I've seen a few comments online of people saying that Apocalypse Now is a better film, but Platoon is a more accurate representation of what 'Nam was like, which is an interesting observation. Platoon certainly captured a real war is hell vibe more than any of the other films I thought, it's a dark watch!

Apocalypse Now is more about the insanity of man than a straight up war movie in my mind. Although they could be seen as both sides of the same coin.

Platoon with the commentary from Stone and Dale Dye the technical adviser is a good watch.

The scene in the third act where the Lieutenant calls in an airstrike/danger close on their position to stop being overrun was definitely something they both knew a little too well.

The Doors

Following up Platoon with another Oliver Stone. I liked this one in the past but I found it hard to get through today. Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison as completely insufferable 100% of the time. Unbelievably pretentious. Good soundtrack at least.

[Eoin McLove]

Boring cunt of a film. Suits the band perfectly 

[open face surgery]

The Doors are amazing.

[Ollkiller]

The Doors are amazing.

Aye. Stellar band.

[blessed1]

The Doors are amazing.

Yes. And boring is the last word I'd use to describe them. Genuinely some of the most exciting music out there for me.

Lobbed Weapons on last weekend and it was great. Very satisfying ending!

Late Night With the Devil has been on my mind a fair bit lately. Enjoyed the heck out of that one. Well overdue a rewatch. Bonus points for the Pentagram track at the beginning too.

I did too. I loved the 80s throwback effects, especially in the worm scene.

"Caught Stealing" - very enjoyable.

"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"...
