Crawl did not work for me purely for how silly the 'gators looked.

Just been to see The Mustang. Wow.

Coincidentally my wife went to see this the night before last with her sister. She said it was intense*

(*Naturally I followed up with, “I thought it was in a theatre!!”)

When you say it mangles the book how do you mean? I mean I assume they already removed the sex bit in the tunnels in part 1.

Totally confused about how it’s so long, though. Should just be some scene setting for the lives each one has now, then six short segments in contemporary Derry then the finalĂ© right?

I want to hate this but I watched a trailer and it seemed to be punching well above its weight, like the first Bridget Jones movie vs my assumption. Not that I can imagine myself making the effort to see it at the cinema but I’m sure I’ll stick it on when it appears on Netflix Christmas 2020

TheeeeoooOOOOOOOOO

Some of the inclusions there feel both tokenstic to the idea that films don’t have to be [extremely serious face] and yes critics can enjoy fun, but also pretty bizarre choices. Team America is one of ten best films of the last twenty years? Ted is in there at all, and also better than Paddington 2?

Yeah, they’re always a bit daft these lists.

Can’t remember what our top ten was like when we did this last year.

(but they can throw up a couple of lesser known interesting films and provoke a bit of discussion n that so
 it’s cool)

has fucking done me

The DiS list is miles better than this

Properly irked about Ted which to my memory had quite a lot of casual racism in it

Yeah I can accept outliers if theres a good argument but all I remember from ted is it being utterly horrid

Petre Bradshaw gave Ted five stars as I recall. Pretty insane but there you go

Also Her isn’t in this top 100 at all so this list can bog off

Audra and Tom appear in one scene at the start and are then never mentioned/seen again, so those plots are removed, but the Bowers stuff is kept in, but feels like filler and doesn’t really go anywhere, except to make 2 mullet jokes. No eggs found or destroyed in It’s lair either, Eddie doesn’t spray his inhaler at It, rather, he burns it in a ritual and instead chucks a bit of metal fence at It. Also, none of their memories fade, Stan’s death is changed slightly regarding reasoning.

i didn’t think i liked this film but i find myself still turning certain scenes over in my mind, months later. i thought hereditary was as close to a perfect horror film as it’s possible to get, and both movies have this incredible way with a startling, shocking image.

despite the gruesome imagery, for some reason the one moment i keep thinking about more than any other is when she’s sat buried in the flowers near the end, just before they light the temple on fire. she’s still stoned, gazing off into the distance, and then she kind of
swallows and blinks, and focuses on the temple. there’s so much grief and trauma in that little moment, it’s haunting me.it takes a special combination of actor and director to sear something that relatively innocuous into your mind.

gonna have to watch this again i reckon.
