Saw The Long Walk. Nothing to write home about. Hugely underwhelming and a pretty flat ending is being kind
Getting sick of average films. Am I making wrong choices, or is there just so much #content these days, there’s less and less good stuff?

I feel you. Everything is so hyped up. I’m left in a conundrum of ‘is that it?’ a lot. Recently One Battle after Another. Meh, yeah it’s OK but it’s like the best of a really low bar…
I want to see Bugonia but I feel like I already know what it’s like…
Might be time to revisit the classics.

I really enjoyed I Swear when I got out to the picture house recently. Think Howler is a fan too. Properly emotional, but in a profound way, very funny and sensitive at the same time.

I saw the trailer and I have to say it looked like the most generic “British Film™” imaginable…
I bet it’s no I, Daniel Blake?
You havent seen I Swear, and I havent seen I, Daniel Blake. I think we should both make an effort to remedy that.

delighted to see theres a sequel to the cartoonishly violent ‘Sisu’ coming out just in time for Christmas. One for fans of the latter Mad Max films. Properly cinematic.

You make a valid point there… or even just visiting movies for the first time!
So many classics I’ve never got round to watching and I’m 52 this year-mainly because I got sick of people telling me ‘how great they were’ it actually makes me not want to bother
Of course totally contrary and childish- the list of films I’ve never seen includes:
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
Apocalypse Now
The majority of the classic Hitchcock movies bar Psycho
Not one David Lynch film
Etc

Absolutely, but no Nazis. They should have given Jamari Telander, its director, the Frankenstein remake. And Predator, and John Wick for good measure.

I thought it was hilarious - very bad and very good at the same time
exactly, walked that fine line and did it really well.

Went to see the Move Ya Body thing. Really good. Very familiar with the wider, general story obviously but really interesting to see it from Vince Lawrence perspective. His tale about being one of the few Black folks present at the Disco Demolition event was particularly sad, and his comments at the end about how he and Jesse and the other Chicago originators should really have ended up as house music version of a Motown or Def Jam dynasty were really interesting

If you watch nothing else on this list (and I can do without ever seeing Raging Bull, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, or Apocalypse Now ever again myself) I’d recommend Taxi Driver - the music alone is immense - and David Lynch’s The Elephant Man (absolutely beautiful film in so many ways).

Watching the 5hr Scorcese doc on Apple & thinking - what would I actually want to watch again?

Oh wait- I have seen that a bunch of times haha -only one of his I have seen though.
(The Elephant Man)
Great, great film.
This book is worth a read as well:
I’ll have a go at Taxi Driver despite the endless recommendations!

I can watch Taxi Driver endlessly, Goodfellas I’ll watch every few years, but that’s it really.
