just remembered I’m going to a Day Shall Come screening w Chris Morris Q&A tomorrow :+1:

Cheers both @kiyonemakibi

Went along anyway and really liked it, wasn’t too traumatising in the end other than some killer punches in the last third. ”I still love you even if it doesn’t make sense anymore.” :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Two women left the cinema behind me and didn’t seem to be familiar with either lead which is very ???

did that thing where i click the spoilers for a film I really want to see, don’t read them and then think “that was lucky, why the F did I click though?”

I DON’T CARE

(just to be clear, this a famous quote from the original The Fugitive said by Tommy Lee Jones when Harrison Ford tells him he didn’t kill his wife)

a group of YOOFS left 20 minutes into lemon 66 when i went to see it

how did they not realise it was a boring film about driving cars? were they surprised at how much of it was actually just driving cars?

who knows

probably got a message off tinder about doing chemsex or something

A Street Cat Named Bob is getting a sequel. The first film was not very good but was all about an adorable cat so I am all for another one.

We went to see it the day after Trump was elected, to cheer ourselves up.

Can only presume this is on for a late 2020 release to try and target the exact same market again.

Lulu Wang chimed in to say people give her Crazy Rich Asian posters to sign!

I watched Vox Lux last night

It actually started pretty strong - then there was a moment (when the young Nat Port character is talking to the wasted band guy on the bed) when the vibe went quite odd and I was all ready to go with it

and then

it went to shit really

really bad

the extended concert bit at the end was just embarassing

Natalie Portman’s absolutely shocking in it. The shift in story to her as an adult made it go from a really interesting, dark film to just shite

Blockers is a much better coming of age film than Eight Grade/Booksmart/Edge of Seventeen

yeah - doesn’t feel like the same character anymore

where did the accent come from?

Also found it baffling that the character was meant to be a mega star when she was not very good

Blockers is good. Better than Booksmart I’d say, maybe on a par with Edge of Seventeen.

“Better than Eighth Grade” (or even in the same conversation) is absolutely nuts IMO)
