okay i will

there seems to be thousands of pixar films on there i've not seen (well, 6 or 7 maybe i don't know)

They seem to be making them at quite a rate now. I think they’ve released 3 in the last year.

Just don’t watch the one about the dinosaur, which is from a while ago but I’d never heard of it, and is awful.

I’ve actually seen that one, and yes, it is utterly abysmal

Also I counted them up and there’s as many I haven’t seen as I have (12 each)

I thought the dinosaur one was alright, although admittedly "alright" is pretty disappointing by Pixar standards

I think I've seen them all apart from the Cars sequels and the brand new one

Nicolas Cage - Pig

"I'm looking for a truffle pig."

Sure why not

The Predator - who knew they still made predator films. anyway even by the standards of predator films this was absolutely abysmal

Whats all this 'bout turning the brillent Galaxy Quest film into a TV series?!?

DESIST FROM THIS COURSE OF ACTION

There two new muppets serieses on Disney plus. One is from 2015, and is a tired pretend documentary series thing like the office/parks and recreation, with no funny jokes in it at all, and which is basically misconceived on every level.

The other one is a tired pretend youtube channel series, with no funny jokes in it at all, which is basically misconceived on every level, and also now Kermit’s voice is completely wrong and awful for some reason, to such an extent that he’s basically not even Kermit any more, he’s just some frog. Awful

I managed one episode of each

Even without the Kermit voice atrocity, the youtube one is so lazy and abysmal it’s just, urgh

The muppets never recovered from having gervais in it. Now they’re tainted forever.

They’ve gone from Kermit being Kermit, to Kermit being someone doing a Kermit impression, to Kermit being someone not even doing a Kermit impression. I don’t know why

That surely doesn’t stop them hiring someone who can sort of vaguely sound like kermit

The Dead Don't Die.

Another disappointing zombie film. Sigh. Come on.

The style and tone of this one just did not work. A few guitar strums a good Jarmusch movie do not make.

I seem to be the only person in the world who quite enjoyed that

(I liked the way Adam Driver said ghouls that time he said ghouls)

Jordan Peterson must have turned them down

Hehehehe!

Also the thought of a Peterson spouting "Kermie" is shuddersome!

I'm not sure i've ever heard jordan peterson speak

this is why i am so unenlightened

When I first heard the name 'Jordan Peterson', I presumed he was a young footballer at a middling Premier league team, on the cusp of being called up for the England squad. Now THAT, young Sir, is unenlightenment!

Not enough Jordans in the england team yet. Definitely space for a few more

Not that I could ever have taken Jordan Peterson seriously anyway, but I am baffled that anyone at all does when he sounds like that

Am I wrong to have watched 'Yesterday' to-nacht, and have imagined a certain Mr. Vom Vorton in the title role?

Yes

Poo vom

Apparently Yesterday was originally written as a story about a songwriter who discovered that he was the only person in the world who remembered the Beatles, but he still couldn't find a way to use this to become famous. And then Richard Curtis came along and made it into a feel-good film and pretended he wrote the whole thing.

Also the differences in the story are explained by the original writer having had a long frustrating career and imagining this is how things would play out for him, and Richard Curtis having had Richard Curtis' career.

I haven't seen Yesterday.

It was on TV yesterday. Anyway, I saw the very end and the credits, and it amused me that they still used the version of Hey Jude with the "ooh......fuck n ell" bit in it

They should make a film about a world where everyone in the world has forgotten james bond films

They should make a film about a world where everyone in the world has forgotten bobby charlton

They should make a film about a wrold where everyone in the world has forgotten the 1960s so completely we don't even have the numbers 60-69 in our counting system any more

They should make a film about a world where everyone in the world has forgotten the world itself

They should make an episode of doctor who

I saw Richard Curtis once, he gave a nice speech at the memorial service for the former dean of my college at university, who had taught him at Harrow. But I am not watching any of his things ever again. I don't even like Blackadder.

I used to really like Blackadder, but now merely enjoy it. I find the scripts a tad clunky and basic, which, for me, limits their rewatchabilityness!

And in which Jack Charlton has a 10ft long neck!

Giraffe Charlton

why would they shorten his neck

Heh!

Psycho Goreman

Low-ish budget sci-fi horror. A little girl finds a crystal buried in her garden that gives her power over a galactic super villain. Much hilarity ensues.

I was looking forward to this one. It was fun. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more violence and gore.

I roll 7 eggs out of tent.

Cosmic Sin

Bruce Willis has no idea what he is doing in this dreadful sci-fi alien battle car crash.

If you have been putting off a task you really don't want to do, do that instead of watching this film.

I roll 10 eggs out of tent, as these eggs are rotten. And then I self-immolate in my tent.

I want to see Psycho Goreman. It sounds fun.

But all I do now is watch The Sports
