I lasted about that too, instantly hated it. Probably should have given it longer but life is too short.

I think this is really interesting. I had the urge to walk out of the cinema in the first 15mins. I just didn’t get it and then all of a sudden I was really enjoying it.

One of my favourites is Inherent Vice.
Incoherent and bonkers but also very funny at times

I was thinking this very thing last week after watching both One Battle and Marty Supreme - both tagged as "movies of the year’ and both exceptionally mediocre, in my opinion. Has the bar really sunk that low?

I Swear. Late, I know.
On the one hand a wonderful story. On the other, marred by a horrific soundtrack and a touch of the Full Monty about it. Hate myself now, sorry.

Trailer was enough for me. Screamed ‘British film’ to me, and not in a good way…

Bit of a log jam of releases building up this month. Was planning to see Marty Supreme but sounds like one to catch at home. Hamnet also out this week but think I’m gonna go for The Bone Temple instead
Also quite fancy the Lord Of The Rings 25th year re-releases but I dunno if I can handle 3+ hours in the cinema three times in a row

Marty Supreme is well worth a cinema trip i would say, thought it was great. Good soundtrack too.

No cherry pie?
Please ensure the coffee is ‘damn fine’
Ive just rewatched & nearly finished S2 - Its so good ( still a bit flawed of its time but suggest most classic TV is)

My daughter doesn’t like cherry pie. I’ve tried and tried. She’s not budging. kids eh?
We took a box of 4 krispy kreme’s in.
It was a fantastic experience. A great introduction by the head curator of the BFI tv archive, a massive TP fan and she reckoned it was the best thing that’d ever been on tele.
The film itself was one of only two existing prints and was the one originally aired on BBc2 in 1990. The other print belonged to David Lynch himself.
It was in a square ratio, the sound was full of character and it looked great.
450 capacity cinema full of appreciative fans. Quite a thing.
I’m going to watch it all again now.

Bone Temple got a rave review in the Guardian (I know, I know), tempted to take our youngest

I’m going tomorrow. Will report back
4 stars in The Times as well. Doesn’t look like a film that will be an easy watch though
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??
