Excellent

I have never heard of cipher and it sounds great

It's a pseudo 'all dun in one take' movie, isn't it? That's all I know about Rope, thanks to Mark Kermode.

That was also all I knew about it.

Another film article from me! This time I wrote about A Matter of Life and Death which was daunting, because it's perfect

Hooray

I've still never watched this for some reason despite everyone (you, hugh) telling me that i should

I've watched it twice in the last week, thank you for maintaining the balance of the universe

That's a jolly good review, Vom!

And after reading it, I've just discovered that I've forgotten at least half of the films plot!

Cheers!

You bossed it.

Are you wondering if the new matrix film is shit

Oh well I'll tell you anyway

Yes it is, beyond your expectations

how many dogs eggs out of ten?

It doesn't deserve a score

It's like a group of children in business suits brainstormed a sequel and nobody told them no

tbf, that's every Matrix film after the first one.

It sounds like my kinda movie!

I’ve heard wildly conflicting things. To the extent I think I have to see it now.

Anyway I watched Tangerine yesterday, which might be my new favourite Christmas film. It’s one of those ones from a few years ago that was all shot on mobile phones but don’t let that put you off.

I watched Arthur Christmas, which is written by Peter Baynham for some reason

Anyway, despite the entire premise of the film being that Arthur Christmas sounds a bit like Father Christmas, Father Christmas isn’t called Father Christmas at any point at all, ever, because Americans cannot comprehend Santa Claus having more than one name. So the films main joke doesn’t work at all, due to Arthur Christmas actually being called Arthur Claus

Best joke

There ain't no Sanity Clause on the evening stage

I thought the Arthur Christmas animated film was a spin off of the Arthur cartoon series.

It isn't.

Now I understand.

John Wick 3 - I quite liked the first john wick film, but I found this surprisingly tedious.

I haven't seen the second one

The first film should be called John Wick, the second, John Wick Wick, and the third, John Wick Wick Wick.

It's my system, and I'm sticking with it!

I would have named them John Wick, John Xick, John Yick, John Zick

I go with reverse Gobliiins!: John Wick, John Wiick, John Wiiick

I liked the John Wick sequels. All the weird hitman world stuff is endlessly amusing to me, paying for absolutely everything with a single gold coin and all that shit

I just thought whereas the plot of the first one was good (Keanu must kill every man in the world that killed his dog), the plot of this one (Keanu must kill every man in the world that didn't kill his dog) was much less good.

John Wick to John o'Groats

Brillent!

I vatched The Mans In The I RON Mask (1998 versh) yester
day.

I *think* its the first film I've ever watched with Leonardo DiCaprio in it.

It was good solid fayre! 7 Dicaprios out of DixCaprios.

Surely you've seen critters 3 (or whichever critters film leonardo dicaprio was in)

i have never seen critters 4 (or whichever critters film leonardo dicaprio was in)

also apparently he's in this film that i remember watching once back when i was 15 or whatever

I've seen the first Critters movie (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in time), and that is all!

I can only apologise for this, as it isn't the n3ta way!

i was joking, homfrus. I'm pretty sure no one has seen critters 3

except for vom

it's good

here's my review

hooray

NO JOKES!

Both humour and humor are banned.

I got a 3 month subscription to mubi for a pound (I don't know if this is a general ofer or just because they wanted me to re-subscribe) and so today ii have been watching some films (mostly short films)

censor - recent horror film about 80s video nasties thats sort of like videodrome via berberian sound studio. this was good i liked it.

the bones - excecllent stop motion creepiness that pretends its the first ever stop motion film but isn't, obviously - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5RXOOXLwus

junior - short film about a school girl going through puberty/metamorphosis, directed by the woman that directed raw ands also starring the woman who was in raw. pretty good

babfilm (beanfilm) - 70s hungarian stopmotion film made from beans thats also on youtube. good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ydbJCyIbIw

i like life a lot - anothe rhungarian 70s animation. in this one school kids anaimate and narrate stories from their life. genuinely incredible and i loved it (I can't find this on youtube unfortunately)

horse in the house - a third amazing 70s hungarian animation (also not on youtube, and there seems to be loads of other things with the same name, but it is this: https://mubi.com/films/horse-in-the-house )

shangri-la - a filipino woman in early 1900s america dreams of being allowed to spend time with the white american man she loves who she can't marry due to racism. then there's five minutes of her wearing clothes by miu miu because it turns out its an advert for miu miu, bafflingly. anyway, the bits which weren't an advert were good

also a few others i've forgotten now probably

also i watched that six part doctor who series from last month or whenever, and it was absolute shit in almost every possible way and even in several genuinely impossible ways

Dear God,

Can I make stopmotion animation films in 1970s Iron Curtain Hungary, plz? And I'll need dng with me, also.

Ta.

I saw those Hungarian animations on there and thought "I should check those out!" but then forgot about them, thank you I will try again

Also the best short film I've seen on Mubi is "STUMP THE GUESSER!" I think, it's wonderful

Hooray, that justifies my decision to never watch it even more

you made a good choice
