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.

It lacked humour, although I was expecting him to go back on the peeve rather than what actually transpired so decent curveball there I suppose.

I understand why he did crime, blade artist etc but his real genius presents itself when he's doing the inane, ordinary lad shite and observations. That's what made Trainspotting so brilliant. 'Nelly looked his watch, it was 11 am and he'd already smoked 12 fags'. It's a throwaway line in a sub plot, but pure earthy ordinary stuff that just pulls you in further. Glue in parts has it, and Filth is the book I've read the most times.

Sent it to the auld lad from Book Depository for the laugh. I send him a book a month or so, and I normally get a thank you and his thoughts. Deafening silence on that yin

I was just going to ask was Filth worth a read. I've had it on the shelf for years but haven't gotten to it, I'm told it's his most full on book.

Of the ones I've read (Trainspotting, Porno, Ecstasy, The Acid House, Glue), Glue was the one I enjoyed most.

[Caomhaoin]

Filth is a classic. Get started lad, you'll love it.

[Eoin McLove]

I haven't read Filth either. Must give it a bash. The most fucked up of his I've read, if not exactly the best, was Maribou Stork Nightmares. Grim and grimmer but funny as well. There's loads of his stuff I've not read yet so I must go on a binge soon. First I'll tip through the brick that is David Copperfield and Michio Kaku's The God Equation. They'll keep me busy for a while.

"The Tomorrow War" - I clocked the "twist" from the trailer and I did roll my eyes several times in the first 30 minutes but it turned out to be quite enjoyable for a Saturday night - if a bit too long.

Anyone else think that they've made Chris Pratt look like Tom Cruise on the poster? From that movie "Oblivion" or "Edge Of Tomorrow" or whatever it was called. Are they the same movie?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Nomadland is good. Unusual rather than unworthy one for an Oscar.

Watched Salt on TnaG last night.
As expected, yet another exercise in American anti-Russia, anti- North Korea propaganda, All it was missing was an evil Muslim for the full propagandist trifecta.
Absolute, total and complete fucking rubbish.
Angelina Joli looks well in it though to be fair.

[Carnage]

Originally written for Tom Cruise, who turned it down as it was a bit too Mission Impossible-y.

[son of the Morrigan]

It actually crossed my mind a few times while I was watching it that there was a whiff of Mission Impossible off it.
Mission Impossible is also a steaming pile of propagandist  muck.

Watched Uncut Gems there which was a stressful but great watch. Gigi D'Agostino classic banger at the end as well.

First film is only the first half of the first book so they fucking better keep working through it.

A spin off TV show will be aired on HBO too, the pilot directed by Villeneuve and based on the Bene Gesserit.
