Mickey 17 - bonkers fun with a serious underlying politic message. I play the stenographer in the courtroom cross examination scene which was fun to shoot

Just saw it, and did have fun. Excellent stenography, too!
Not sure it's the right place for this, but myself, my partner and our team are in the last few days of raising the last bit of funding we need to complete our latest short film, 'He woke Up To Deflating News.'
It's a short comedy about an old-timer who finds out that his local council are turning him into a high-street coffee shop, and follows his attempts to avoid this fate. It's starring Irish comedian Michael Redmond, who some may know better as Father Stone in Father Ted.
Any and all help would be welcome, and here's a little bit of Addicks influence on the film:
Our production designer wanted to create a few fake photos from the past of our character's heyday, with him doing a spot of fishing. See if you can guess what reference photo I sent her to base it on...
Captain America: Brave New World is stunningly lazy. The story, the set pieces and the storytelling are all really poor. The exposition is so incredibly heavy-handed that I was cringing every time they found a lame way to get information across. What really struck me was how B-Marvel it felt. Disney reinvented sequels with the MCU, and yet this felt like a return to lower budget, diminishing returns franchise filmmaking. I am beginning to wonder if the Russos can save the MCU.
Also, I came across a Nic Cage movie called The Humanity Bureau and it was not just fucking awful, which was funny, but totally boring too so I switched it off after 25 minutes. Worth it for seeing him fly fishing in a glass of water I suppose.
Got dragged to Snow White as my daughter was desperate to see it.
It wasn't good, but it also wasn't as bad as I feared. For all the talk about Rachel Zegler, she was OK, and I didn't even mind the CGI dwarves that much.
But Gal Godot as the evil queen was absolutely f***ing awful.
Currently watching Joker 2 from last year, why did they decide to turn it into a musical?
It's feeding into Arthur's fantasy world. With the exception of Grease, I hate musicals. But oddly, quite liked Joker 2. I think the musical side of it was integral to the plot so maybe that's why.
Flow - Latvian produced winner of Best Animation Feature at the Academy Awards. Obviously the animation is very impressive and it is artistically excellent. Has some gripping moments but as it nears the end it does start to drag in places which is not a great sign for such a short film. Unsure if kids will like it or grow a bit impatient but the plot is pretty simplistic for adults.
Just emerged from When Autumn Falls. If you like french films, you'll like this. Gently paced and absorbing. Very much enjoyed it, a solid 8.
To expand, I almost let my picturehouse membership lapse due to an almost incessant stream of mediocrity released over the past year, to the extent I struggled to remember the last properly decent film I'd seen, and found it difficult to use up my inclusive tickets. Then this was announced in an email and I thought I'd give them one more chance. So pleased I did, this film is excellent. The lead actress Helene Vincent is brilliant but the whole cast works perfectly.
On a whim when we were walking past the Picturehouse in East Dulwich yesterday afternoon we popped in to see the new Steve Coogan film Penguin Lessons and it was brilliant. Funny, heart warming, sad in places and thoroughly enjoyable.

Never been a big Dylan fan but really enjoyed, A Complete Unknown. Didn’t realise it was a line out of, Like A Rolling Stone?
Did come away thinking that he wasn’t a very nice guy, not sure why, and Joan Baez was a bit of a goer;)
I also came away thinking I need to check out his back catalogue, currently listening to, Highway 61 Revisited and enjoying.
Bob does whatever the hell Bob wants to do (so yes, he is selfish and not that nice by all accounts).
Example, Tonight Show 10th anniversary show in 1992. In rehearsals, he sang a pitch perfect version of 'Like and rolling stone'. Found out he was not going to be the only recgonised musician on stage (according to no other than David Letterman) and turned in this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LaNXwqLFnc&ab_channel=BDM
Bob does whatever Bob wants. Still the best lyricist of the last 50 years though...
Got round to seeing Late Night With The Devil last night, very entertaining horror art it a 70s chat show. I even liked the ending which is probably divisive
Not even slightly new, but the original Producers film by Mel Brooks is on iPlayer... I'd forgotten how funny it is
A lot of Brooks stuff is genuinely "classic" in the sense of being timelessly funny, The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein etc are as funny now as they were originally which is quite a feat.

We saw the preview last night at Greenwich Picturehouse. Agree! It’s on general release from mid April.

Fuck, I switched off after about 30seconds, bloody awful! Even the backing singers were giving him the look.
Mind, maybe he's still out for revenge when he was pelted for going electric at the Newport Folk Festival.
I've only seen him live the once about 10 years ago at Brixton Academy, I think, I wont be hurrying back if he tours again. That night was bloody awful too!
Beatles quadrilogy of films coming out in 2028. Directed by Sam Mendes.
I don't mind the Beatles but a quadrilogy? Not sure about that. Especially if the first one only middling business/reception but everyone is tied into completing 4.

They're going to be filmed at the same time and all four films released within same month.

It is VERY Danny Dyer !

I will seek out more films by this director.
Very bleak and slow moving but an amazing piece of acting from Cillian Murphy. His character says so much with very few words. A difficult watch...
