Sonic spoilers

But Shadow can f**k so far off. If they do a 3rd film then I hope they treat Shadow as a joke then go with another enemy (who Robotnik helps).

When did you switch to DA Baracus?

The Northman. Be waiting a while for this but its utter shite. Gutted as i enjoy Vikings, Last Kingdom etc but i didnt enjoy it one bit

So disappointing. Was completely underwhelmed by it. Was expecting him to raise an army and battle a kingdom, but he just went off by himself to battle an ousted former King on a farm. Was expecting something on a much grander scale.

Was always this. My username goes years back before I joined thanks to a friend, and fellow Pars fan, nicknamed 'Furious'. Haven't seen the lad in years mind and haven't seen him at a Pars game for a few years, but I mostly go to away games.

His family are absolutely excellent folk. His sister was in my year and school and a really sound person. His maw was really sound. His old man was simply exceptional. Genuinely one of the best people I've ever known. We were all in awe of him. A ridiculously cool guy. Hope they're all doing well.

They also had cool dogs, even though one of them pished on my Pars goalie top once.

A Raith-supporting dug. Well I never.

Eventually you'll post something about films (or music, or dugs) being better when you were you were young, and everyone will start calling you YerDa Baracus.

72. El Dorado (1967) - Film4

I don’t really like westerns, but this is alright. It’s quite a sleepy film without being thoughtful or anything like that, it just doesn’t seem to have an interest in being exciting and would rather focus on Robert Mitchum’s arc (which isn’t that interesting). There was something about how it shot its dialogue sequences that often really annoyed me and seemed a bit scattergun. It passed the time though.

I think this is one of three Wayne movies (other two being Rio Bravo and Rio Lobo) which all share pretty much the same set-up - I need to double check but either all three movies have a besieged jailhouse set-up and/or have the trio of protagonists sharing the same characteristics......

The Nice Guys

I caught this on Film4 last night. An excellent wee movie. Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling star as a pair of private detectives looking for a missing porn star in 70s LA.

I loved everything about this. Some interesting plot turns, hilarious dialogue and slapstick violence. There was also a pretty cool 70s soundtrack.

This slipped under my radar when it came out a few years ago so I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it last night.

8/10

thinking about this further (and forgive the faux pas of quoting self), was there not a scene in a Tarantino movie where this was highlighted and discussed? Maybe Jackie Brown??

Maybe comparing it to The Sound of Music was a bit harsh. That'd put anyone off.

I watched DOCTOR SLEEP last night on netflix.

I really enjoyed it. 

Rebecca Ferguson is beautiful.

Can't remember about Jackie Brown but I did see a review saying El Dorado was really similar to Rio Bravo (which I haven't seen). Same director.

John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 was also a remake of Rio Bravo, with a bit of Night of the Living Dead thrown in.

It also gave birth to this. Which was nice.

Charlie Wilson's War

Excellent cast. Moderately interesting.

Seemed to be an attempt to land a message about US foreign policy with the sort of American equivalents of our poppy shaggers, by giving them a good old Uncle Sam story and dropping in a bit of criticism at the end. 

I hope it succeeded at that, because as a film it was pretty poor. Philip Seymour Hoffman's screentime was generally enjoyable. But mostly it was a mish mash of tone shifts and unfinished parts of stories. 

5/10

Gave Ghostbusters Afterlife a watch yesterday and enjoyed it.

It was amusing the scene were those daft youths pretty much wreck the town trying to catch Muncher the evil version of Slimer though.

I would say I did not find Gozer or the terror dogs as terrifying as the 1984 versions of them.

Surprised they never kept Gozer with the evil red eyes though.

Terror dog Vinz Clortho remains as comical and amusing as the original though when he goes on the rampage through the Walmart demolishing everything and his quizzical reaction to the car tyre hissing as it bursts as well.

Shame Grooberson never got a "Nice doggy have a milk bone" comment away though.

 

[Detournement]

Rio Lobo is an exact replica of Rio Bravo with the added bonus of the actresses being much hotter.

Been laid up with the COVID for the last week so it's been a slog through some movies in the hours I've been awake.

053 -- Slow West (#22 in A24 series) Minus credits, this Western tale of one boy's ill-judged attempt to exit the friend zone clocks in at under 80 minutes. Michael Fassbender plays Silas, an Irish bounty hunter who forces his services on to Jay, Kodi Smit-McPhee, a young Scottish gentleman who has travelled to the New World to track down, Rose, the love of his life, who fled the motherland with her father after an "unfortunate incident". It's a quirky wee tale that's simultaneously ludicrous and comedic and somehow feels like an accurate representation of life in the infancy of a country. Directed and written with an incredible atmosphere by John Maclean who built on this success by doing absolutely nothing. An unexpected hit. 9/10

054 -- Amy (#23 in A24 series) Documentary on the life and death of Amy Winehouse. She never stood a chance. 10/10

055 -- The End of the Tour (#24 in the A24 series) Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky, Jesse Eisenberg, follows around and interviews Jason Segel's David Foster Wallace on the final days of his Infinite Jest book tour. Not a whole lot happens over 100 minutes or so as the journalist tries to build up a picture of the author and the author tries to conceal his demons from the journalist. There seems to be quite a bit of jealousy from Lipsky, a fellow writer, who holds Foster Wallace as a genius, while Foster Wallace does his best to reject those assertions along with his fame and success. I like Segel and Eisenberg so this two-hander was right up my street, but it still wasn't nearly enough to make me want to crack open Infinite Jest. 8/10

Been to see quite a lot this year most of it middle of the ground stuff, Belfast aside.

However last night went to see:

Everything Everywhere All at Once

It's absolutely fucking mental, like seriously whoever came up with the plot and story line needs help. That said it's an incredibly enjoyable ride that is made for the big screen, sit back and let them take you wherever the story goes and you'll be in for a great ride.

Don't know how long it will be in the cinemas for but it's seriously worth a watch as it won't be as good at home. A 9/10 you won't ever see a film like this again.
