Fucking hell. I've been curious for a while but I've heard nothing good about the place.

In Galway now, as it happens.

Watching The Bad Batch on Netflix.  I'll give it another five minutes to get good.  It's been dragging on for half an hour already and I'm bored to fuck.

Maybe its the timing of me watching it but I'm half way through John Wick 3 atm and just not grabbing me at all. 

The first one was great, second one had some good bits etc but now its pretty much rinse and repeat!

That's such a terrible, terrible film.

Just going back to Midsommar for a sec, saw this elsewhere, would post in the "PC and Perpetually offended" thread but it's far from PC, more like perpetually offended rightwingers.

I haven't seen Midsommar, but there was a headline in the Guardian yesterday that seemed to be accusing it of "ableism" too...?

Inspired by another thread, recently rewatched the 1950s film version of The Importance of Being Earnest, which then put me in a mood for 50s British comedies of a similar ilk, so followed up by rewatching The Ladykillers. Still love both... still have never watched either of the respective remakes in full!

If you enjoyed "The Ladykillers" check out "School For Scoundrels" (1960), "The Lavender Hill Mob" (1951), "The Green Man" (1956) and "Kind Hearts & Coronets"(1949 - currently in some cinemas for its 70th anniversary).

Some absolute genius set-pieces in those films and a lot of "what-ho!"-ing from Alec Guinness, Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas and Alastair Sim.

"La Règle du Jeu" (1939) by Jean Renoir is worth watching too. If a satire on class and a comedy of manners is what you're after.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Don't think I've seen The Green Man, but the others are classics alright, especially Kind Hearts & Coronets. Good call!

Watched "Sunset Boulevard" the other night. Always presumed it was some kind of romance story or something but  oh boy was I wrong. Amazing film.

For me, my enjoyment of The Witch isn't even really about plot or actors (though Ralph whatsisname is quite good). It's the sinister creeping atmosphere and overall look/feel. Plus I love a movie that forces you to imagine the awfulness rather than over explain or rely on splatter. Must check out Stan and Ollie, a lot of good words for it on here.

Thought it was class myself, precisely of the creeping atmosphere. The main female role was brilliant. Can't remember her name but she is made for them 'innocence gone wrong' parts. Saw her recently in Thoroughbreds and while the movie wasn't bad, she, again was very good. One of those female actresses that you disregard and then her charms start to enchant you through the screen..even Julian Clary would find it hard not to feel something.

Yeah there's a lot to be said for not overacting in a horror movie. On a different note, anyone catch Nico 88, was on Film 4 the other night? I thought it was going to be a bit pretentious but it was really good. Trine Dyrholm as Nico was fantastic. She nailed Nico's phrasing and tone in her singing. Only problem was she didn't hit as many bum notes as the real Nico!

Went to see Midsommar the other night. I was on board for like the first 2 hours, it was a slow burn but I was enjoying it, then it just went to complete shit, I can't tell if it ruined it or elevated it but it was one of the most ridiculous tone changes I've ever seen in a film.

The cinema went from silence the everyone in the room breaking their bollocks laughing.

Watched Climax, on Netflix of all places. Excellent film. Noé never disappoints.

True and true.
