Yes I know a lot of people didn’t like it but If anyone’s interested in eventually understanding Tenet, I watched again for a 3rd time today and things do make a lot more sense.
This article does a good job of explaining how it works, so worth a read before attempting to watch for a second/third time. https://www.gq.com/story/tenet-explained
I’d rather pull my finger nails out than sit through that again . You deserve a medal
Not exactly " latest" but we caught "Once upon a time in Hollywood" last night on Netflix.
Found it really enjoyable & loved Leo's role which he played very well.
Recommend the book in that case.
Wow, is that movie from a book? Thought it was an original screenplay by QT?
He developed the screenplay into a book to flesh it out to how he'd have preferred. Basically more detail and back fill.
Heard QT talking about this on the JRE podcast and was curious about it, might ask for it for a birthday or something - would you recommend? De-railing the film thread into a book thread sorry!
Knives Out finally caught this, although it's not exactly new. It was top of my wish list for a while, but family disney films kept intruding. Anyway, utterly great. Keeps you thinking, some nest twists, a lot of dsrkly funny moments and all in all very satisfying. 9/10
Saw a poster on the Underground yesterday on our way to Lords advertising M Night Shyamalan's latest called "OLD" & due out on 23rd July, I believe.
Anyone heard anything about it ?
Yeah it’s the one about people on a beach who discover they’re ageing really fast. Which is basically an X-Files episode.
I honestly don’t think I’ll watch another one of his films. He made two or three classics 20+ years ago. And since then he’s made some of the worst movies in the history of mainstream cinema. Lady In The Water and The Happening should’ve been enough for Hollywood shun him permanently. But they let him make Glass which was a tragedy for Unbreakable fans! Some of his stuff is so schlocky it’s genuinely confusing as to what he’s trying to do.

I know, such a shame his work has deteriorated badly.
Might give it a go - an excuse to get out & use the local cinema.

The paucity of cinema opportunities really does make us watch some tripe! I’ve been to see a few films I never would have made the effort for. Just because I wanted to watch something. Anything.
I think there have been quite a few really decent releases despite lock down, but may depend on genre taste, rather than quality?
I would recommend Minari, Promising Young Woman, Black Widow, Love and Monsters, Soul, Borat Sequel to name but a few.
Cruella was stylish, but left me scratching my head a bit as to how it fits in with 101 Dalmatians, Mortal Kombat I enjoyed, but know the characters and play the game, so easy for me to follow - and would leave most uninitiated bamboozled and finally Kong vs Godzilla I also enjoyed, but suspect the quite drawn out monster smash ups are not for everyone.

Try paint drying. More drama than recent MNS garbage.

Jimmy is spot on. The graphic Novel 'Sandcastle' is where MNS has taken this story from. The only twist in that is the rapid ageing, not sure it's a typical MNS story... Although he did do the Happening, so could be wrong.

I liked it as all the characters were already clear in my mind. Would recommend, it doesn't add tons, but enough to make some bits make more sense.

I watched Tomorrow’s War. Was okay, felt like I was watching a different film from the moment the time portal closed tho.
