I don’t remember much about the film tbh, although I Walken was very well suited to his character. I hated the novel, so I think I came to the film already fairly biased against it. Might have a re-watch if it’s on Netflix.

For sure, was just thinking about it today. I’ll make a thread now then

In my “best films of 2017” thread (pending), do we:

  • Include films with a 2017 UK release date (even if we saw them in 2016 as film festival wankers)
  • Only include things we actually saw this year

If it’s things we’ve seen this year then commando will just clean up yet again. Got to give some other films a chance imo

My friend’s dad gave up on Breaking Bad in episode 1. While everyone else was debating “did he break bad when he did this thing, or that thing, or was he always the good guy”, he just saw that Walt planned to deal drugs and that was enough to make him the bad guy forever and make the show unwatchable.

The Youtube comments (I know I know …) about the number of female fronted/directed films in Kermode’s lists never fails to piss me off.

Can’t wait to see them all huffing with rage when he puts Toni Erdmann at No. 1 this year

I almost feel sorry for Armie Hammer after that buzzfeed savaging.

obviously I didn’t read it, but the main thing that staggered me about that piece was how fucking long it was. what a massive, massive waste of time & effort.

Saw this at LFF and was mightily disappointed as I love The Arbor and The Selfish Giant. Barnard still does great things in relation to space and place but the plot is so hackneyed - the writing felt more like something from Emmerdale. After some great British rural films recently, this really felt like a let-down.

He’s now going to star in a Broadway production called Straight White Men. I think this is his way of winding up whatever idiot wrote that article

#4215

I skimmed it, it seemd to basically amount to ‘he’s a rich white guy who’s been in a load of films that weren’t very good’ repeated endlessly.

This Jurassic World sequel already sounds even worse than its predecessor.
