The Green Knight. It was like some art student was given millions to make a medieval movie. Dev Patel and scenery was amazing, the movie most certainly was not.

    Homegrove Have a look on youtube for a video on how it’s a deconstruction of the hero’s journey - it’s really illuminating as to what the director was going for and made me appreciate it more. I’ll see if I can dig it out.

        Homegrove EOT is great. Oblivion is good but seems to chuck every single sci fi trope into one movie. The last 15 mins or so with the mothership in space (been a while since I watched it but that’s what I recall) - really could have done without that.

            McEnroe…. Documentary about the tennis player…. Started off focussing on his perfectionism, on his winning being the only thing that mattered to him… but moved in a wtf am I doing with my life direction. Reminded me of Asif Kapadia’s documentaries, although here McConroe is alive (Kapadia’s subjects were all dead).. and like Kapadia’s Senna and formula 1 focus, I’m no great (formula 1) tennis fan… but it didn’t matter - this is just a great documentary that everyone should watch…8/10

              Jules72 Big fan of him….I’ll take a look. I saw him play in the flesh when he was long retired and he still made some of the top 20 players look average.

                Promising Young Woman: Missus immediately did a pay to watch on Amazon after the trailer showed up. Tbh, I was intrigued as well. I wish it was more surreal, and less straight forward. It needed more American Pyscho and less melodrama. The ending is wild and there is a wtf pay off, kinda. Definitely an uncomfortable watch which makes it worth the time. 5.9 / 10

                Homegrove Agreed. Think it may be better if you know the story/poem beforehand, but so many dead end/unexplained wtf stuff in there.

                  Wally The last 15 mins or so with the mothership in space (been a while since I watched it but that’s what I recall) - really could have done without that.

                  Fuck you, Wally!

                      BlainSA What? It’s been out 9 years. I think it’s past spoilers territory.

                      ->

                      Oblivion is a 2013 American post-apocalyptic action-adventure film co-produced and directed by Joseph Kosinski, and produced by Peter Chernin with screenplay by Karl Gajdusek and Michael deBruyn, starring Tom Cruise in the main role alongside Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in supporting roles. Oblivion, based on Kosinski’s unpublished graphic novel of the same name,[5][6][7] pays homage to 1970s science fiction, namely Ray Bradbury’s novel The Martian Chronicles.[8]

                          Wally it was a referance to Cruise’s line “Fuck you Sally!” at the end of the movie Wally.

                            Oh. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. <shrug>

                              Wally this conversation made me order it on Blu Ray (with a 4K disc so it’s futureproofed).

                                Brian and Charles… after a particularly stressful day at work, I needed to escape…. And thought I better catch this film before it disappears from
                                Cinemas… about Brian, a lonely chap who lives in the country, who decides to build a robot (Charles) to keep him company… pretty funny in parts, this is probably more suited to the small screen in truth, but worth seeing…7/10

                                  Jules72 kermode enjoyed this more than Thor: Love & Thunder. You’re welcome.
