Amps English homosexual who minces around the Middle East in an attempt to further British colonialism and indulge his own ego, before discovering to his horror that he has no aptitude for politics

Sounds like one of Smallman’s Corfu soirées

    Amps even I’d seen that before! It’s my dream to catch it at cinema one day. Modern TV are a huge step up from tube TVs for movies, but for some they are still not enough.

        The Beast (2023). French sci fi that crosses three timelines. Very confusing while you’re watching, but if you can concentrate on it for the length (2,5 hours) it will make some sense in the end. Lea Seydox does an all timer performance.

            Homegrove Yeah, caught this in an arthouse flick when it came out. Decent.

                We watched Duel (1974) the other night. Of its time but a decent watch. 7/10

                  Well done!

                  Would be interesting to see in the cinema, but I’d have to be in the right mood, it’s an okay film but not something I’m desperate to watch again straight away. The cinematographer was Freddie Young, and looking at his credits his talent was wasted on some proper average stuff bar this and Zhivago. He must have thought he’d struck gold when he did Battle of Britain with that cast and crew, but it’s a proper turkey.

                      Amps I done this over 2 nights one time as I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Has that lazy Sunday afternoon ambience that makes for a decent kip. I loved it anyway, and will most likely do it all again pretty soon.

                        Went to see Bridget Jones. Quite liked it to be honest.

                        There. I said it.

                            Watched Marathon Man a couple days back, decent 70s fodder. Hardly a classic and kinda luke warm overall. 6.7 / 10

                            benson surprisingly quite a few good reviews, tempted. But mostly because there’s a new Korean BBQ joint next to the cinema, wouldn’t mind visiting again.

                                  The Gorge (Apple TV) 2025: 4/10

                                  Not gonna waste my time writing much about this pile of rubbish. 2 Hollywood A-listers fall in love texting each other between 2 cliffs separated by a GORGE filled with zombies. н0w tн€¥ pur$uad€d th€$€ tw0 d£₡£nt a₡t0r$ t0 $tar in tнi$ I’ll n€v€r ₭n0₩ but it’s a sort of shit Resident Evil and the pained expressions of both protagonists tells the story more than any script does.

                                  The Lost Boys (1987). Turku got an art house cinema of sorts, and they also show old cult classics every now and then. My wife suggested we go see this there. We’d both seen it ages ago (maybe decades), but all I could remember was that it was bad. And it was, but it’s just so much fun to watch a bad movie that makes you laugh with a room full of likeminded people who also like to laugh at bad movies. Good times at the movies this was.

                                    I watched Colors on the way back from Chicago to NYC and I have to say that it’s fucking terrible. Dated beyond belief and it may as well have 70s Batman KAPOW shit on the screen during fight scenes. Fucking awful. ⅒

                                          Delighted to see Amazon in full control of Bond, can’t wait for another part of my childhood to run into the ground for maximum dollar. I imagine the spin off mini series exploring the origins of Felix Leiter’s dog walker will be nothing but televisual gold for the ages.

                                            Amps in light of this news the Craig-era was a decent way to end it (pretty sure it’s over in any enjoyable way), his arc had a beginning and an end. I know Roger Moore-fans thought the Craig Bonds were joyless, but I always preferred the more gritty Bonds like Connery and even Timothy Dalton. They were guys you could believe were killers.

                                              Amps they didn’t do such a bad job with Donald glover in Mr mrs smith tbf.
