Jules72 where did you see it mate?
Along_the_Wire Odeon… completely empty.. would have gone to the Curzon but time didn’t work
Get Carter, still boss, five bottle of Newcie Brown out of five, Cain at his moody best. The idea that they tried to remake it with Stallone is mad. Also, forgot the scene where they go to the ‘Big Beat’ night, no Fat Boy in sight.
Amps …Brown Ale fact: only referred to as ‘Newkie Brown’ outside the NE, known in the Toon as ‘THE DOG’.
Still love the ‘eyes like piss holes in the snow’ line in Get Carter. Great film.
Prime Britt Ekland too “You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself” Great quote.
You don’t see too many films either where the main protagonist doesn’t win in the end. Refreshingly dark stuff.
The aforementioned Chinatown comes to mind in that regard.
My favorite bleak ending is The Mist though.
Oh and also got onto the sniper being in the train carriage with him on the way to Newcastle, almost too subtle.
Never clocked that. Seen it loads of times but been a good ten years since I last watched it. That final scene on the beach is bleak with the slag being dumped into the sea iirc
Yeah, it’s a pretty dark movie for the most part, same beach they used for the opening of Alien3, say no more.
Dubman definitely not as good as the first one, but worth watching. i found it got better as it went along.
-si- Trial of the Chicago 7 - Giving it a solid seven and a half Molotov cocktails out of ten. Probably the best Netflix film I have seen. Actually felt like a film, rather than a made for TV vibe.
Snowpiercer? Is this so good it’s bad? Or is it just bad? The concept feels so flawed.
Amps bloody terrible film… hard to believe it was made by the same guy who directed Parasite
I must say i was annoyed immediately by the The Trial Of The Chicago 7. I literally couldn’t get past the first 10 mins and binned it off.

seanc80 same here. Sacha Baron Cohen is such a shit actor. kept expecting him to do Borat at any minute.
Unbroken1 Drank it when I was younger, revisited it a few years back, realised it was basically rain water from a puddle.
Best thing about NBA is the Fast Show-skit where the cashier tells the customer it giver her father the shits.
Watching ‘Hereditary’ again. Fuck me what a film. 🤯
SM001
Oof. I’d watch it, SM. Not popular in these parts. I personally thought it was fine.
