@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey buddy! No, I haven’t seen Inland Empire, but I will keep an eye out for it due to the recommendation. I’m not specifically a Lynch fan, per se, but I think I just haven’t tried much of his work.

Just back from watching The Northman. Brilliant film. Not for everyone though, as four people walked out of our screening and I heard one person muttering that it was awful.
To me it's probably my favourite film I've seen this year up there with The Green Knight.
@MightyDemon82 Really wanted to watch that in the cinema, but when I checked the listings for my local, it was no longer showing. Ah well, shall watch when it comes to home viewing.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I was planning on going Saturday but there were no showings, So just went last night instead. Either it's run is coming to an end here as well, or weekends they put Marvel stuff on every screen going 🤷🏻♂️. Great film though if you enjoyed Witch and The Lighthouse you'll have a great time watching The Northman!
@HallowMoonshadow Sorry to hear Sonic 2 was a disappointment. That being said, I'm glad Knuckles worked for you, given the announcement of his spin-off show. At this point, as long as I don't think the movie's a total dumpster fire, I reckon there'll be enough potential to give me hope.
I thought most general concensus, especially by sonic fans, was that it was even better then the first film Rog? I'm a little surprised you're a bit bracing yourself for the worst there. Did I miss something?
I seriously doubt you'd find it dumpster fire worthy (and sincerely hope you won't) 😄
Wait a minute... I saw the film before you? I saw Sonic 2 before you?! Who are you and what've you done with RogerRoger?!

@MightyDemon82 Yeah really liked Egger's previous films and have seen some say it is a bit Elden Ring-is, so I'm obviously even more interested in seeing it now.
I go to Prince Charles quite a lot, it's not what you'd call technologically advanced and I'm pretty sure there are still stains on the seats from its stint as a porn theatre in the 70's but the prices are very reasonable considering the location, it has a great atmosphere and they show a really wide variety of films.
@RogerRoger Cineworld is a bit gross here too to be honest. It’s the tallest cinema in the world though, with a horrible glass elevator which makes me feel violently ill! I much prefer the Glasgow Film Theatre.
@RogerRoger to be honest, outside of something like Prince Charles Cinema, I prefer going out of town a little to one on a retail park. Reason being, I can ignore uncleanliness and crazy smells, but my major gripe during films is people talking or on phones, and more generally it seems (to me) if people are going to make the effort to drive somewhere to watch a film there is a better chance they are going to shut up and watch it.
I went through a period where I was going to an inner city Vue cinema regularly, and the last 5-6 times I went I had some kind of issue. I mean, a couple of times I was literally walking 6 rows and getting in a group of peoples faces to tell them to shut up. Another time I was helping chase a kid around with the security guards who'd run in without paying for a ticket and started climbing all over the seats. Now I am not massively confrontational but when I am spending £40 on tickets and snacks I expect not to be interrupted :')
@kyleforrester87 There’s a lot of truth to that actually. Thinking about it, I’ve had way less problems in cinemas out of the way in retail parks and the like. Just a shame that they’re usually a nightmare to get to on public transport!
Metal Skin Panic: Madox 01 - Short OVA film (it's like only 41 minutes) that sees a young civilian mechanic getting stuck in a prototype US Army mecha, trying to flee from the authorities (including a hot shot tank operator who wants to destroy the mecha instead of repatriating it) in an effort to meet up with his girlfriend before she sets out to leave the country.
Definitely one for fans of retro & mecha anime. If you can put up with the SD resolution, the attention to detail paid to all the military tech is a sight to behold, and it's a pretty quickly paced romp.
Spies Like Us - Chevy Chase & Dan Akroyd play a pair of bumbling government employees who get a surprise when they're quickly promoted to master spies & sent out on a top secret mission (unaware that they're just decoys meant to keep attention off the real spies).
Never seen it before, and while it doesn't live up to the likes of Vacation or Ghostbusters, it was worth a few chuckles (kind of felt like a more gag reliant take on Stripes).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Watched Old and was simultaneously disappointed and intrigued. I really do like M. Night Shyamalan (even if he hasn’t done anything really mind-blowing for a while), and so I was excited at the prospect of this film. It has an interesting premise, and the “twist” wasn’t… horrible? The whole thing was just a missed opportunity, as I saw it. Glad I watched it, I guess.
Why schedule my time around when a staff member is gonna flip a switch on a creaky old projector, so that me and a bunch of strangers sitting together in a dirty darkened room, the floors covered in upturned nacho cheese and the seats in discarded popcorn, can begin to collectively hold our bladders for three hours?
😂 Well… I guess you have a point there, Rog.

@kyleforrester87 The problem with Spectre is more that the Mission Impossible movie that came out the same time is essentially the same movie but better. It’s watchable at the very least.
