Interesting! I think I might have preferred the first had I know it was going to be part of a series. Was that always the intention?

I’m not sure, Wikipedia says that they commissioned a sequel just after the film came out in the US, so maybe they already had the idea after it got lots of raves at Cannes etc

The guy who directed the 150 minute Exodus: Gods and Kings has a cheek saying any film is too long.

Watched mudbound.

Had some issues with it (some clunky dialogue and iffy pacing in the first half) but generally was excellent. Carey Mulligan in particular was great

Yeah that’s one of my favourite things about it. He’s clearly just feeling a bit cocky and talking total bollocks.

Watched Mad Max Fury Road. Christ its a dull film isnt it

Interstellar

Rounded off the year in style with Ferdinand, Daddy’s Home 2 and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle which went about as well as you’d expect it… very well indeed on accounts of the involvement of a wrestler in every one of them

Finished 2017 off with Lady Bird and The Party. One would be in my top 5 films of the year and I absolutely loathed the other.

Just spent eleven hours on a plane and watched:

  • Nocturnal Animals - proper good, even if the opening sequence was a bit NSFP (not safe for planes);
  • Edge of Tomorrow - rewatch, just really satisfying watching Tom Cruise getting repeatedly killed;
  • Atomic Blonde - fell asleep halfway through, but a relatively enjoyable “John Wick” knock-off; extremely '80s;
  • Lego Ninjago - diminishing returns.

these should be in the january 2018 thread!!!
