No you hang on to that 👍

Pure fuckin boomerangs


Promising Young Woman last night. Decent, mainly because it - in a very uncharacteristic of US movies way - throws curve balls at you right up to the end. Pretty funny seeing Bo Burnham turn up in a movie too!

Watched The Dig with Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. A nice mellow watch about finding and excavating Sutton Woo. Nice old English countryside feel to the whole.thing with strong, nicely handled performances by all involved. Well worth a watch especially on a Sunday.

Have that on my watchlist but will have to bump it up. Didn't realize Carey Mulligan was in it; she plays protagonist in Promising Young Woman too.

She's a good actress. Was good in Shame too.

Ain't seen that either.

Just watched Black '47 there, one I'd had on the list for a while. Bleak, bleak stuff but very decent despite it being fairly light on plot. A cracking western, really.

That bicycle chase scene from 'Project A' is hilarious, 'Armour of God' when he is fighting those women towards the end, equally hilarious. Samo Hung was the co-star in 'Wheels on Meals', think he was a childhood friend of Jackie Chan, just as skilled as Chan but never gets much kudos.

If anyone is interested in other, more obscure martial arts movies I would recommend 'Fist of the White Lotus', (Shaw studios), many great films from the Shaw Brothers studiosl

Yeah Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were in the Peking Opera training school together fro mwhe nthey were kids. They were part of the "Seven Stars" programme - Chan, Hung with the Yuens Biao, Wah and Kwai (Corey Yuen) and others. Sammo Hung is a master in his own right - he never got the breaks that Chan got (he also didn't have surgery on his eyes and face to make himself look less Asian like Jackie Chan did).

Along with being a phenomenal martial artist/acrobat (at about 17 stone no less!) he is a fantastic comedic actor and director. I would recommend watching "Eastern Condors", "Spooky Encounters", "Pedicab Driver" but most of all "The Prodigal Son" all directed and mainly starring him.

Watched Extinction and The Bad Batch last night.

Extinction had a bit of a twist in it, wasn't bad.

The Bad Batch was a strange one but I enjoyed it for its' silliness

Famine Rambo or just Fambo for short. Might watch it again.

Chris, any of those French comedies on Amazon worth a look? I just watched Stalingrad, what a downer :(

Beverly Hills Cop to raise the mood now.
