Film

[Eoin McLove]

It just went nowhere. There were one or two good parts but overall it was aimless. It looked nice.

I watched a film called Promising Young Woman the other night that was very good, it's much darker than the bright stylistic tone would suggest even given the subject matter.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

No Country For Old Men and Promising Young Woman, agreed, both very good, and dark, albeit in very different ways.

And yeah, Once Upon A Time...I couldn't wait for it to just bloody end!

[open face surgery]

Watched Split last night which was enjoyable enough.

[CorkonianHunger]

Split is decent yeah. Didn't like Promising Young Woman at all. OUATIH was bit aimless, some decent ideas. Bit sick of Tarantino at this stage, won't top Reservoir Dogs or Inglorious Basterds.

No Country for Old Men one of the finest ever made too.

I'm definitely in the minority regarding QT's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" so...

I think it's genius. Altman/Scorsese/Ashby/De Palma through a Tarantino filter.

[Carnage]

It passed the time but was all style over substance. Pitt looked like he was enjoying himself anyway, especially in the climactic scene.

I loved Once Upon a Time. Just the perfect film for me. I see the 'book based on the film' is out now, must check it out.

Speaking of Altman I recently watched some of his - The Long Goodbye, California split.. But I'd never seen mccabe and Mrs Miller before and really loved it. Must watch more of his.

I ordered the book last week. From listening to interviews with QT, it seems that it's not just a novelisation of the film but like an expansion of Cliff and Rick's stories.

I'm a big Altman fan myself. "The Long Goodbye" is fantastic. Have you seen "Nashville" and "M*A*S*H"?

If you're into "The Long Goodbye" and that rambling style then I highly recommend Paul Thomas Anderson's "Inherent Vice" - if you haven't seen it.

I know I'm wrong but I hate that flick. Watched it again and hated it more the second time. Oh bad man bad.

Nope. Never heard of Nashville and never really thought of checking out MASH, obviously heard of it. Might of caught bits when younger!

I watched Trainspotting 2 a few days ago. It was an ok follow up, but I thought they could have done more with the characters. 20 years and none of them didn't really turn their life round and achieve much, but others had predictable fates. I suppose given that they were all junkies it's something that they weren't all dead and there was a sequel.

[Caomhaoin]

The Beggar changes completely in one of the subsequent books, but I thought it was a load of tedious shite, and that's coming from someone who loves Irvine Welsh.

[Eoin McLove]

That was The Blade Artist. I thought it was good in its own right but didn't touch the darkness of his other stuff. Begby's revert to type is done pretty well.

[livingabortion]

Woe, Begby is a torturer in that book.
