Homegrove Adam Driver presumably as McCaul in the flashback-parts. Can’t see him being Chris in the early 2000s parts of the book.
Wally Homegrove Wonder who they’ll replace Kilmer with for the forward in time parts, unless they just decide to stick with the prequel stuff. The book was pretty average really so can’t say I’m confident this is going to be anything other than ‘meh’ - neither shitting on or saying something new in comparison to the original.
Wasily Ferrari (2023) Sort of like a decent version of Ridley’s shit House of Gucci. I don’t why Driver keeps getting cast in these Italian parts, but he’s ok in this; everything’s much sharper, has more cohesion and he’s helped well by Cruz and Woodley. The racing is a decent counterfoil to the personal backstory and has some spectacular cinematography. The crashes are very graphic. 7/10
Along_the_Wire Wasily I’ve seen so many trailers for it, I don’t think I could bear to watch the bastard
Wally Saltburn - expected sickness and debauchery. Got a tepid, occasionally amusing flick instead. 7 common people / 10
seanc80 Watched Killers Of The Flower Moon over Christmas . Has to be one of the most overrated films in history. The hype that this film created was unnatural compared to the reality of actually watching it. Passable at best…and I mean at best. 5.5/10
Smallman1 Was at an Irish wedding last month Sean. Two things - A) They all absolutely loved me. And B) I didn’t fall in a river after. The word winning springs back to mind!
Smallman1 seanc80 Ah good man. where was the wedding? Worthing. The groom was Irish and had north of 100 friends and family over, unbelievable bunch, a proper laugh!
Along_the_Wire Mixed by Erry. Italian. Based on a true story, interesting, quite funny and one of those subtitled film that the Doris would probably like. It’s on Netflix and defaults to dubbing - go with it for a minute - it’s so bad. 7/10
MH89 Alone season 3 on netflix. Participants are left alone in Alaska, who survives the longest wins. Very entertaining. Winner made it to 77 days I think and killed a wolverine with his axe lol. 8/10
Along_the_Wire Ban request for MH89. This should be in the Netflix thread, or at worst the general TV one. Sickening to see.
Homegrove I got Mubi for 3,60 € a month, so I’ll probably just ignore it and instead of watching some “real cinema” film I’ll just watch Heat again. That said, it has Angel Heart. That I do need to watch again. It has other good things in it besides Lisa Bonnet’s norks.
