Along_the_Wire It started off well, definitely, but the minute he escaped certain death due to a total eclipse, it lost me.

See, for me, that was powerful and clever because it juxtaposed the wealth and social dominance of the Mayan ruling class with their ignorance of natural phenomena.

Along_the_Wire Then being chased by men that could kill a running man 100m away with spears and bows and arrows suddenly unable to hit a barn door from 10m. I don’t mind suspending belief, but when it gets worse than a Bond film, I’m out.

But dude. He’s Jaguar Paw?

I am Jaguar Paw, son of Flint Sky. My Father hunted this forest before me. My name is Jaguar Paw. I am a hunter. This is my forest. And my sons will hunt it with their sons after I am gone.

    Okay I’d never heard of this flick and just read about it on Wikipedia. What on Earth is going on here? Is it worth a go? Sounds ludicrous.

    It is literally the best film I have ever seen in my life

    absolutely brilliant.

    Watch it with a beaker of rye (or whatever you yanks drink) and the volume turned up.

    It’s also a Brexit allegory. ā€œI am Boris Johnson and my sons will fish these waters after I am goneā€ etc

    Just one final word of warning. Your review of this movie is going to have a major bearing on the balkanisation of your and I’s personal relationship from here on out. Ok?

      Tenet. 8.5 cheese graters out of 10. Boss time travel stuff, better than Inception imo, Branagh stinks the place up a bit and then end scene is a bit ā€˜paintball’, but the rest is class. Probably not one to watch with the lady friend who doesn’t have a passing interest in time travel theory, you might get asked a few questions.

        Watched Die Hard for the 20th time (probably) last night. Favorite lines ā€œNo fucking shit lady, it sound like I’m ordering a pizza!?ā€ and ā€œOh look, the police have got themselves an RV.ā€

          Watched Gremlins last night and forgot how good it was. Just need home alone & Lampoon’s Christmas vacation to make the day.

          Homegrove ’I’m special agent Johnson. This is special agent Johnson. No relation’

          Along_the_Wire not a huge fan of that, despite being directed by a Finn, Renny Harlin. Willis’ back and forth with Sipowicz is great though. It’s my third favorite after Die Hard with a Vengeance. Not seen 4 or 5 and not planning to.
