Yeah I thought it was quite overrated. I was pretty disappointed with it. Didn't see what the hype was about. And I was a big fan of Kill Bill and some other Tarantino.

I watched Jumanji 2 (or 3 I guess). It had it's parts, but overall wasn't as good as the first one with the new cast. I will say that Kevin Hart does a great Danny Glover impersonation

For those who enjoy a good rock doc, "American Valhalla", about the 2016 collaboration between Iggy Pop and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) is available on youtube for free right now.

Knives Out was fantastic, Daniel Craig stole every scene he was in. It baffles me that Rian Johnson can make great movies like this and Looper but absoultely shat the bed with The Last Jedi. He needs to stick with original material where he's free to do whatever he wants

I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in a long time. Daniel Craig sounded so much like another actor that I can't place though and it's bugged me ever since.

Have you seen Brick? You should probably watch Brick.

I wonder how long before we stop getting new content like movies and TV? We are going to be digging into the archives if this goes on for 6 more months. Not that there isn't a huge amount of great unseen content out there.

Not long. If it wasn't in post already...

Lots of artists working on new albums however.

Could see an interesting boom in indie animation too. Stuff people can do on their own or with a small group.

Watched a few more:


Escape from Pretoria - I really enjoyed it. Starring Harry Potter. He's moved more into indie flicks but he's a really good actor and the role was good.


Dark Waters - another really good movie, and it surprisingly didn't get any publicity.


The Invisible Man - more or less made for TV time passer. Not a fan of these movies, so I personally wouldn't recommend as you always know the ending once the plot is established. Blah.

Quality of script, not describing box office success.

Watched The Gentlemen last night. I agree with most everyone else on here. Was good and worth a watch, but doesn't surpass Snatch. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something was just off with it

Watched Escape from Pretoria. Really enjoyed it, Daniel Radcliffe was very good. Worth the watch.

Watched Captain Fantastic tonight. It's an interesting story about a family whose death of their mother forced them to reintegrate into society after living a decade in isolation.

I found every performance (minus Hugh Grant) hammy hamster level of overacting. Everyone mugging for the camera got stale 15 mins in.

3/10 for me and I liked Lock Stock (and didn't mind Snatch).
