Completely competent and very funny but I just can’t shake the feeling that this presents itself as the biggest piece of evidence for Wes’ more recent works entering the realm of self parody. The skin and bones are there and on the surface it all seems right, but what happened to the heart? I miss it

Sandy (2025)

Absolute downer of a film. Stuck it on for a bit of a laugh as well

Guy went from “now this is podracing” to “I hate sand” and then finally finished up with “from my point of view the Jedi are evil”

Anora level opening scene

Something something Hunger Games, blah blah blah Fortnite

Seeing Danny Dyer on the big screen got me thinking about what life would be like if Danny Dyer was 20ft tall in real life. How would the country handle it? What would we even do? Is it even worth thinking about?

I dunno, and the films quite shite, but giant sized Danny Dyer is very watchable and I went from hating it at the start to finding it mildly amusing any time his giant head filled up the screen so I guess it has that going for it

Only took me five watches and one read of the novel to finally it to myself how great this is

Sheer buffoonery

Stinkbomb was my favourite but I’m also an immature wee boy

Sheer coincidence that I finished an Isaac Asimov novel and watched this on the same day. Sort of hampered my experience for the first half of the film as my mind was still reeling with thoughts and ideas drawn from what is regarded as the pinnacle of daft robot stuff (which I love) whilst I watched what was very much a daft wee robot film without all of the philosophical fluff up of the book I had read that morning. But then I decided to stop being a dafty and just go along for the ride.

Good wee film

Second time I’ve been gaslit by the idea of space vampires this year

Already loved heroin but now I love architecture too

Can’t believe that the 28 Days Later cock shot came from this

Disconcerting and extremely anxious. Szulkin surely created a Golem of Kafka to work as a consultant on this film

Arrival if it were directed by a South African

There’s a friend of a friend I’ve been out for drinks with a fair few times over the last year. Good guy but he’s quite the mumbler. Watching Amy Adam’s slowly learn to communicate with the hand aliens reminded me a lot of the first few night outs I had with him

The ghost deciding to come out and say hello after it sees Julia Fox walking up the driveway will probably make sense to all of us

The type of shit I be on when Fantastic Planet isn’t available to rent on prime

Space hates you too Sandra Bullock

Number one most bitchin movie poster of all time

First Polish sci-fi film I’ve ever watched. Big fan of Polish sci-fi. Always have been. Excited to watch a second Polish sci-fi film tomorrow

Watching this back to back with Total Recall lowkey has the same vibes as watching The Pianist but pausing it every 10 minutes to watch the opening holocaust scene from the first xmen movie on your phone.

Regardless - I’d argue Total Recall is just as good

Fuck waking up in a Johnnycab

Watched between power cuts, falling roofs, and trees and fences being torn from their roots. Was a good time and I got the day off work. Would take a second storm tomorrow

Everyone talks like they are in Grease and yet it reserves its tone for everything but parody or satire. Equal parts engaging and tedious, it’s 80 minute runtime and a fresh faced Dafoe give enough reason to check this one out.

Bro successfully faked death by aids

RIP David Lynch😔

This is called what? This is called what? This is called what? And what is this? And perhaps what is this?

Albert Camus missed a trick when he didn’t include the scene where the main character goes to see Independence Day at the pictures in his original novel

This review may contain spoilers.

So glad I finally got to see nosferatu’s wee winkenstein on screen after all these years

Big fan of the sink pipes. No idea what they mean but they were cool. More films should end with a shot of sink pipes

Depressed to it that i’m a 25 year old man excited about a sonic post credit scene

Such a serious little silly film. I like it a lot

Never been a fan of Wallace’s mesh vest

Grateful to exist in the same timeline as the muppets

The irony being that the black albino straight from Alabama is a much better rapper than travis scott

They should do a Freddy vs Jason where the guy in this has to fight David Thewlis from Naked. It should also be shown in 4DX

Someone send Sean Baker to Saltcoats for a month so that he can give us the greatest tragicomedy the world has ever seen

The patter (verbal degradation of human beings) is too good in this

A very interesting companion piece to Bresson’s L’Argent in its study of money and its relationship to people, but what this has over L’Argent is the fact that it has a really bitchin night club scene directed by Akira Kurosawa. Where was your bitchin nightclub scene Bresson? Your donkey film could have done with one too

Had a good time watching Lola run. She’s quite fast

Made me put more clothes on

If we’re going to send all the artefacts in our British museums back to the countries that they belong to then we should send hip hop away too and accept that we’re shite at making it

I could name a few directors who deserve the Marple death sentence more than Refn did for making this. Real shame

A Jack Frye who has watched this, The Northman, and that Vinland Saga thing would be the most unstoppable Jack Frye of them all

Will never forget the waking nightmare that was watching this at 5am on channel 4 when I was around 6 years old. The following week I was exposed to a movie called “Strings” at a similar time of morning, also apparently aimed at children. I found it just as disturbing. 

Bring back the channel 4 5am children’s horror slot

Would hate to see Ed Harris concede a 90th minute goal on fifa

Simultaneously captures the core of the novel whilst still never reaching any of the more interesting observations originally proposed. 

Sam Rockwell naturally carries.
