That flash of Pazuzu during the priest's dream with his ma going up and down the subway stairs was stuck in my head for ages after I'd seen it first time.

It's excellent, the best 'jump scare'. Not that it is a jump, more of an injection of cold fear. Love it.

Yeah that scene is by far the spookiest in the whole movie.

At home running a temperature today, so checked out the Zappa doc. It was grand but not great. I'm always happy to watch Zappa related stuff, but this just didn't really seem to add anything new, and prob of little interest to anyone not already into him.

Then the second Kingsmen film tonight. Not very good, though not really surprising.

Well, since Disney+ have put their Star "Grownup" section in, have checked out Cronenberg's The Fly for the first time in yonks.
That sure ain't wholesome family fare. But it is bloody great. "Penetration beyond the veil of flesh!"

Apocalypto last night. Hadn't seen it in years. Amazing film.
A perfect host was another one I watched. Pretty decent thriller.

Aye Apocalypto blew me away when I saw it. A rollercoaster of a movie. Have to 're watch now don't I.

Had to feign tiredness/headache to escape halfway into Wonderwoman tonight. Dogshite.

More I'm hearing about the Wonder Woman sequel, the less I want to see it. I have a high tolerance for superheroic fluff - but Marvel are certainly strides ahead of what drivel WB/DC are pumping out. Has there been one of those recent DC films of any use yet apart from, maybe, Joker?

Both Wonder Woman films are shit, I can't see what the fuss was about with the first one.

I didn't mind Man Of Steel and enjoyed elements of Batman vs. Superman. Just bits though, mostly some visuals.

Ah, the first WW wasn't too bad - though it was attempting to do the same thing as Captain America: The First Avenger - just in the First World War. Grand enough - like I said, fairly high tolerance for this stuff, also been a Marvel head since I was a wee'un... 80s XMen storylines and so forth.
It just looks like the DC movies are floundering really with their output... pretty directionless. Sure, Zack Snyder will sort them all out, with massive slo-mo shots  ;) .

They shouldn't have even tried to copy the Marvel formula, they got the tone right and having a coherent long-term plan for them was the way to go. DC jumped the gun after Man Of Steel, tried to dive straight into their 'event' movie rather than introduce the characters individually and give them time to establish themselves. The results speak for themselves.

Shallow Grave is on Film 4 at 2 tonight.  Recording set! Haven't seen it in years but I loved it as a gossoon.
