Watched What We Do In the Shadows with the missus the other night, really enjoyed it.

Watched Savage there on Netflix. Like a cross between The Virtues and Once Were Warriors. Enjoyed it.

rewatched it myself the other night. Very funny indeed. Is the TV show worth the watch, has anyone gave it a look?

I watched the new Phil Lynott movie 'Songs for While I'm Away' there the other day when it was on RTE. It's a bit shite to be honest, maybe I was expecting too much but there wasn't anything on it even a casual fan of Lizzy wouldn't already know. It was trying to be all artsy and stuff too but it just came across as a bit amateurish.

It says a lot that Brian Downey didn't even appear on it.

Need to watch the movie. Have seen 3-4-5 episodes of the TV show and didn't like it much.
On a different topic, I've found Green Night to be quite boring.

Salavdor (1986). Not bad at all. Had no idea it was Oliver Stone before I watched it, but the anti- American sentiment was fairly on the nose so I shouldn't have been surprised really. James Woods is great in this, Jim Belushi less so. With all the meddling in Central America I had forgotten that the US had such a hand in El Salvador. Sobering stuff to read about some of the atrocities there.


So I finally got around to watch Terminator  Dark Fate. I went with it for a while until....

Spoiler
...a married semi retired Terminator?..ahh cmon..fuck right off...I switched right off there and then...

is it more preposterous than cyborgs travelling through time and ruling the earth? Ha ha

I've been watching a couple of this guy's interviews recently:

Terminator Dark Fate (which I haven't seen and most likely never will) is one garbage film that he highlights. I don't find his views particularly enlightening, but one term he uses when talking about things like reboots and franchises that really struck a chord with me is "malpractice." I now really think that's the best word to describe some of the things that Hollywood film makers do, and the examples from the most recent Star Wars trilogy and Terminator movies are perfect illustrations of it.

Last couple of nights I watched...

Sound of Metal - Yeah this movie is pretty much a horror film for any musician or music fan, it's pretty good though.

In the Earth - Weird trippy horror film that was written during lockdown last year. It takes place during a pandemic but it's not really the subject of the film either. Decent enough but loses momentum towards the end.

Is that Ben Wheatley's latest? Been meaning to watch that for a while.

Well, the trailer for the new Matrix movie makes it look suitably atrocious.

Started watching a film called the boat last night but had to turn it off about 20 minutes. A fisherman from Malta gets lost in the fog and finds an abandoned  boat. His own boat that he used to get there disappears so he's on his own on this broken down vessel.
He goes for a piss off the edge of the boat and somehow is nearly knocked off, he then goes to use the toilet inside and gets locked in for a bit.
Apparently he's the only actor in the whole film.

Fuck that

Just had a quick gander at it there. Christ almighty...

I'm almost positive I heard many people saying JCVD was good. It is not.
