what films are people actually looking forward to at the cinema anyway? is there anything that looks good coming out?

Les Miserables and Saint Maud are down for the autumn here at the moment!

The last film I saw was Lovely Rita at The BFI in early March. I liked Jessica Hausner’ Little Joe and thought I’d give it a go without reading anything about it. It was pretty good 7/10.

I might chance a film when they reopen but will have to see how they do their distancing etc. I just miss going around there for coffees and hanging around reading my Kindle there too.

Ah Les Miserables is not actually an adaptation? hmm… will probably watch St Maud, not sure if it’ll be enough yet to drag me there though!

Les Miserables is good assuming it’s the same one that i’m thinking of

It’s not related to the musical, French film that is meant to be a bit like Training Day

Saint Maud isn’t due out until late October anyway

Why on earth would you give your film the same name as a famous musical that already has a film adaptation?

Les Miserables (not that one) 2019

it’s set in the same paris commune as the book / musical, guess it’s a deliberate juxtaposition

Gonna make a giallo-style film and call it Phantom of the Opera

I believe there’s a book that stole the title of the musical as well

Watched ‘The Pool’ last night, a Thai horror/survival thriller about a man who gets stranded in a drained swimming pool with a crocodile :crocodile: Obviously it was very brilliant.

Edit: for the purposes of this post, please just imagine that crocodile emoji is even vaguely threatening

The 80s Horror/ comedy ? I would love to see that again. Feels like the quintessential VHS rental movie (alongside National Lampoons Vacation)
