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

Lethal.

Now that's good news! Sticking to my form, I won't be watching the trailer, but I am really looking forward to heading to the cinema to see it. I still have to get around to properly getting into and finishing Children of Dune. Just don't have much spare time at the moment. And of course, starting Ulysses didn't help

Looking forward to Titane coming to cinemas. I thought Raw was brilliant, although some of the scenes had me dry heaving

Went to see a Danish film with Mads Mikkelson today called Riders of Justice, it was good but its a very strange film, its mostly a thriller but it also has a lot of weird comedy scenes which can seem a bit jarring at times.

Haven't seen either yet, but your comment seems oddly fitting since apparently the former features a scene of dry humping...a car.

Just watched Wings Of Desire for the first time in 20+ years. Still brilliant, and this version looked amazing. A 30th anniversary restoration, apparently. The colour scenes in particular were much more vivid, even just watching it in SD (it was on Film 4). I must track down Faraway, So Close now, another one I haven't seen for years.

Having never watched a single Harry Potter film, I started going through the saga with the young fella last week. Watched four of them now. I can't say I'm not enjoying some of it, especially the auld Goblet of Fire. It's so delicately un-PC too, which of course enamours me even further.

I watched a charming little New Zealand comedy called Boy earlier. Got it in Netflix over here but it's probably not on the Irish one. Worth a look if you come across it.

I rewatched Mystic River for the first time since it came out. It holds up really well.

Yeah, I said the very same thing about it earlier in this thread. The revenge thriller and the comedy bits work but when it drops into the dark, dark Scandinavian drama every so often it takes a while to get back on track.

Mads Mikkelsen is a fucking beast in it though - far removed from "Another Round". He made those two films back to back apparently.

[Born of Fire]

Wasn't sure whether to put this in the documentaries thread or here but I watched Ghosts of the Abyss over the weekend. James Cameron and Bill Paxtons 2001 dive to the Titanic wreck. Main reason for watching was having visited the Titanic museum in Belfast recently. Some fantastic footage of the wreck including some of the interior being explored with ROVs.

Holmes and Watson with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.  Ludicrous shite but very funny.

Boy is great. Director that did Jojo Rabbit, What We Do In the Shadows and Thor:Ragnorak. The latter being a serious laugh despite me having never been a fan of comic book movies besides Batman.

I haven't seen Jojo or Thor. Must keep an eyeball out.

I thought "Jojo Rabbit" was pretty good. I must watch "What We Do In The Shadows" again too. Apparently the TV spin-off is very good.

I threw on "Sideways" the other night cos the missus had never seen it but she enjoyed Thomas Hayden Church in "Divorce" (in which he's playing essentially the same character). Forgot how good it was. Church and Paul Giamatti are perfect together.

Thor Ragnarok was good craic, took some of the po-facedness out of those Marvel movies. Hunt For The Wilderpeople is another great one of his. I find Waititi quite unlikeable though, and have no desire to see Jojo Rabbit or WWDITS.
