Return of the RECENT VIEWING

Tenet. It looks great, the story is lighter than an Angel Delight and the whole thing is a miss-mash of crackpot pseudo sci-fi bollocks. I enjoyed the experience but the film is no great shakes. It was good to go the cinema again though. The social distancing works and I've a load of ideas around popcorn administration involving hoovers and gas masks.

Pretty much what I thought. Usual Nolan, emperor's new clothes.

I agree Jim. I think the only film of his I've watched more than once is Memento, as I thought it was genuinely something different. Although I like Dunkirk.

Disobedience (2017)




Fascinating film about a woman returning from New York to her strict Orthodox Jewish home and community in North West London, following her prominent Rabbi father's death. To say she was made welcome would be a massive understatement as she'd long been shunned by them all for her younger errant ways.

That looks alot like

Vivarium (2020)

A young couple looking for their first home are lured to a suburban community, and soon realize that they are alone there and cannot leave. Things get increasingly stranger from there. 'Vivarium' is creepy, has an intriguing premise, and features some striking visuals that stick with you after viewing.

In the whirlwind of suck in which we live, you can rely on Bill and Ted to warm the cockles. Goofy, warm and with a positive message. Be excellent to each other. Jeez I must be getting old.

Isn't cynicism meant to become more defined as we get older?

oh, i guess it depends. you could also say that as you get older, go through more experience, take yer personal hits... the tendency might be to become more understanding, more empathetic, more likely to appreciate whoever and whatever you have left in life.

of course, tomorrow i could get in the mood for a meteor to wipe out the entire fucquin planet.

consistency is not really my own strong suit.

Yeah! I certainly appreciate what I have in life but its all the others that drain my psychic defences. Working in healthcare and being understanding and empathetic is becoming something that I'm dwelling on increasingly. I wonder if nihilism might be for me

my sister was an ER doc for 35 years. she retired months ago, but she is still about as bleak as they come. i understand the nihilism.

on the bright side, she's got the sickest sense of gallows humor i've ever seen. she walks around in public crackin the kinda stuff that makes other people around her gape in shock. she does not give a single fucque. whatever sets ya free, mwhaha.

Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life."

- Stars Maggie Smith in her own prime as an actress. Glorious.



1969 - The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie

[Samoan]

Lord of the Flies (1963) was absolutely extraordinary: what an achievement by all concerned but I found it very disturbing and upsetting. A film that has to be watched as it's a masterpiece, but never again, it's too unsettling.
