FND was an odd one for me - I liked approximately 50% of most episodes, but there was always something in each episode, be it a plot line, swearing or unpleasantness between characters, that put me off the show!

Every episode of Space 1999 is on BritBox. Crikey, Martin Landau is dull.

I didn't know BritBox was still going - I thought it'd morphed into ITVX or summat.

I wasn't impressed.

I thought the first couple of episodes were a bit poor but started to really like it once Blackbeard turned up. Then it starts to be quite funny in a cosy sort of way.

That'll do me - ta for the heads up.

black panther 2: shite, basically. but very very long shite

this had namor in it for some reason, and really desperately needed doctor doom to turn up and toot on his horn. but he did not

instead there was half hour of martin freeman bumbling around for no reason at all

anyway, my sisters cancelled her disney plus subscription so presumably i'll never see another marvel film again now

hooray

i'll have to move onto dc movies now

(then the sweet oblivion of death)

I probably enjoyed Aquaman more than most of the marvel ones. It has an octopus playing the drums

also Willem Dafoe AND Dolph Lundgren

I forgot all about that. Wife wants to watch it and we have disney plus for a few more days so will probably watch it.

"dng recommended it."

surely that octopus should have got an oscar for playing willem defoe and dolph lundgren

I have been watching the post-covid Marvel films with parents. So far we have watched Black Window (fine), Shang-Chi (quite good fun), Eternals (not as bad as I was expecting, but definitely a bit of a 'comic book film' throwback), Spidermans (more fun than good), and Doctor Strange 2 (I think this is our favourite). But I am a sap for comic book films.

haven't seen any of those

i really actively disliked dr strange 2 (rather than merely passively disliking most of the others)

i liked the the first 2 thirds or so of shang chi though, and would probably watch another one of that if they make it

And Julie Andrews!

truly the film with everything!

If I simply must watch a film with Julie Andrews in it, then it has to be Thoroughly Modern Millie. Mr Miyagi off of The Karate Kid Part II, is also in it.

My god, this film just wouldn't end. It had been on for 3 hours and the girls wanted to go to bed and there was still more than an hour left, and that took another 4 hours to watch.

The stuff that happened made no sense either.

Jesus christ it was dull.

The Whale
Bleeeeeeeeh

Reached the episode yesterday with Peter Bowles. BALOR!

Hooray

Space Richard De Vere, as I know him.

I just watched The Beach for some reason, and there's a bit where Leonardo DiCaprio logs on to check his email and his username is just "Richard"

metropolis - the best film ever, obviously. especially the way its ultr futurism extends to the main bloke having the most awful 90s haircut ever

excellent

The Inbetweeners was the shittest and most overrated pile of cack on British TV since [NAME OF GERVAIS PROJECT HERE]

I think I'd rather watch The Inbetweeners than a Gervais project. I'm not 100% sure 'bout that, though.

I'm currently pondering whether The Inbetweeners is better than Nearest & Dearest, starring Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewel!

A valuable use of my time, I reckons!

Decision to leave - new park chan wook film, that's super stylish and also basically just vertigo. I liked it

I liked it too

hooray

i'm not quite sure why jean pierre jeunet's made this but i'm glad he has because it's quite funny

night tide - a very young dennis hopper falls in love with a woman who might or might not be an evil mermaid. the most remarkable thing about this film is that the young dennis hopper is played by thomas tuchel for some reason

Hehehehehehe!

today i watched edith walks, adocumentary thing where a woman dressed up as edith swan neck (who was king harold's wife maybe) walks from waltham (abbey) to st leonards on sea (where william the conqueror landed i think), while she's joined by iain sinclair and alan moore spouting absolute bollocks for an hour.

anyway it was rubbish really (although the woman dressed up as edith swan neck sang some songs and they were nice), but also mostly i only watched it for the sheer oddity of mubi recommending it to me today (on my last day of mubi), when tomorrow my brother moves from waltham (stow) to st leonards on sea. which for odd coincidences was pretty high on the odd scale i'd say

especially as this time last week i'd never even heard of st leonards on sea

and now you've been elected the new st leonard

it's about time

Did it show King Harold's gravestone in Waltham Abbey?
