Film

[Eoin McLove]

Rewatched Manhunter last night. It has dated, but is still very good. The music probably makes it that bit more dated, although it's great too

Jesus, I thought that was shite and Cox was brutal in it. I usually like him but he just lacked any sense of the menace that what's his name (brainfart) brought to the character.

I'd have to disagree there now. Thought Cox was great in it, Hopkins and Mikkelsen have more screen time and could develop the character more. Mikkelsen is the best Hannibal. I've probably made a controversial statement saying that ha ha

I haven't seen Mikkelsen in the role. Must have a look some time.

Anything with Shia laBeouf is doomed from the start, but that's one of many, many issues.

Fury wasn't bad.
And Bayformers didn't need him to be doomed, horrible films and the designs were terrible - most of them looked like they'd fought with a blender and lost.

[Caomhaoin]

Watched that 'Don't look up'. Wow, very snooty analogy for the climate crisis and a few kicks to the pants at easy targets. Entertaining enough I suppose. I went and gave my lazy bastard, disorganised young lad a big hug after watching the last scene though.

Meryl Streep as the female Donald Trump deluxe. Nice touch.

Another week of holidays so I'm getting through them at the moment. Saw 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' there, some class acting and some funny bits but it's quite muddled.

The hippy destruction redeems it somewhat

Also 'The girl on a train'. Emily Blunt plays a drunk excellently but it's a lot of pish and bollocks despite an interesting premise. Avoid.

I read the book a coupla years ago, but Emily Blunt is a dealbreaker. Can't abide that woman.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Awful film alright. Not a fan of Emily Blunt either; for me Sicario was the tale of her being an assassin of movies.

Randomly watched Serenity last night. Won't be getting that time back. About as good as a decent episode of Star Trek, minus any concern for any of the characters. Guess one really needs to have seen Firefly to appreciate, which I won't be doing.

[Carnage]

You're missing out, Firefly is great fun but yeah, you'd need to have seen it to connect with Serenity. I also saw the film first but when I went back and watched the series and then the film again, it went down much better.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Goddammit, I should have said nothing on here: should have known the risk of a fellow geek coming on telling me that I actually should watch Firefly was too high!

[Emphyrio]

Firefly is great. Watched the first two EPs of the new Cowboy Bebop. Gave up cos it was a poor man's Firefly.

[Caomhaoin]

Watched that Conor McGregor yoke on Netflix. Glossed over his early life (granted there's hardly much footage). He's vulgar, he's full of himself, he's half a knacker but you can't help but admire the absolute dedication and supreme confidence.

And those Nate Diaz fights. Oh my goodness gravy.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Got up to the third Harry Potter movie today, The Prisoner of Azkaban, being the first of all the ones I've never seen before. A properly excellent movie, quickly explained upon seeing who the director was. I get the impression by quickly looking at scores that it's the pinnacle of the series, but we'll see.

Finally got round to watching Joker which is free on Amazon prime  . Wasn't really that impressed to be honest, seemed to drag a bit.

I found that to be the first one where the series became less kids oriented. The great thing about the Harry Potter series is the the series grows with readers who got in at the start.

[Carnage]

Venom 2. Big pile of shite, worse than the first one. As expected.

[Blackout]

Venom was one of my favourite Marvel characters as a kid reading the comics and watching the Cartoons. They've ruined him with those movies.
