Yeah apparently it’s an 18 (our boy is 16) so that’s out
Pillion! Superb stuff.
Anyone else note Ray’s Vitsoe shelving? Saw this review on Letterboxd:
‘The only thing more unrealistic than Alex Skarsgard living in Bromley was that he didn’t take his Vitsoe shelving when he left.’

One of my mates went to see The Bone Temple last night and loved it. Gore, humour and the best use of a heavy metal track in a film ever apparently.
Jake Shears as ‘Sub-bottom boy’ definitely wasn’t on my bingo card

Agreed, watched it last night and really enjoyed it. A full on ride. A bit too fantastical, a couple less twists or extremes and would have been better I think. But a really fun film and Chalamet is superb.

Saw the Bone Temple.
It’s very good. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell are the standouts. Some interesting developments but doesnt move the plot forward a great deal. A lot more gore, not for the squeamish. Some of it sails very close to torture porn. The Iron Maiden sequence is the first astonishing cinema moment of the year, it really is quite something.
I preferred 28 Years Later, the way Danny Boyle shot that film was just great. There’s a certain twisted British folk horror vibe on that one that isn’t there in the Bone Temple. Its very much a middle part of the trilogy film.

Would that be the Iron Maiden as an instrument of torture or the band? Or maybe a combination of both??

As a Vitsoe man, im glad you posted this. It balances out the horror of realising that Robert Peston has a substantial Vitose home office set up.
But then so does Jenna Lyons - who ran J. Crew when it was good.
Swings and roundabouts innit.

Best film of the past few years for me.

I thought Die My Love was great. Jennifer Lawrence is excellent as a woman coming apart at the seams following a birth.
Includes this great version of Love With Tear Us Apart too
Think it’s on MUBI now

She’s fantastic in Silver Linings Playbook if you never caught that when it came out.

Caught Marty Supreme at the cinema. Really glad I did, what a great film. Chalamet is exceptional, best thing I’ve seen him in by a mile. The music is really great too

16 Oscar nominations for Sinners. Did not see that coming.
Great film mind.

Interesting interview. Especially the bit telling directors to start making films for audiences, not for themselves.

I know, we’ve tried to watch it twice now, never got more than 30 minutes in, guess it gets better?
