  1. That's just what they use to wash out the spunk.
  2. I love a bit of the Stath now and again. He's good at what he does and as he showed in Spy, he doesn't take himself too seriously.
  3. Really looking forward to this. Mostly because of Issa Lopez's involvement
  4. Just back from... As a big fan of Lanthimos's previous work I'd high hopes, but this surpassed every single expectation. Its an astonishing piece of work. Heartfelt, moving, often hilarious, utterly beautiful, emotional, surreal and at times absolutely bonkers. Anchored by a career best performance from Emma Stone who is mesmerising throughout. Definitely won't be everyone, but i think it's close to a perfect movie, and I'll definitely be going to watch it again on the big screen before it's run ends.
  5. Got the Platinum on Assassin's Creed Mirage (enjoyed it) so now I'm switching between Darkest Dungeon, Coral Island, Stranded Alien Dawn, the Red Dead Redemption remaster and (yet another) run through DS3. Plenty to distract me from the DIY
  6. One of my favourite songs of all time. Love the Cardiacs and I think Tim Smith was a bona fide genius.
  7. According to a letter in Viz, the reason Tony couldn't return any of the pictures was that they were now covered in spunk.
  8. Really good fun. A nicely grubby 70s aesthetic, with a few blatant nods to the Manson family coupled with a supernatural subplot and a bonkers final third.
  9. It's not quite up to the same level as The Night Chancers but it's still a bloody good album. It's probably heresy to say, but overall I like his stuff more than his dad's (and I liked his dad's stuff a lot).
  10. I remember when you used to wait in the car, and frankly you should still be there!* It's one of the best shows ever made and I bloody love it.
  11. This is it innit. You could probably change the 60's to a fair few other decades too. Good (and bad) music spans a **** long period of time. Sometimes you might just need to put a bit of effort in to find it.
  12. I think if your enjoyment has decreased with your time spent then yeah, I can see why you'd want to pack it up. I'm 53 this year and I enjoy gaming just as much (if not more) than I have since I picked up my first Binatone controller in the 70's. It's very much still one of my main two vices (along with movies). I don't subscribe to the whole 'grown up' narrative tbh. Average video gamer is around 35 these days iirc, so the days when they were 'just for kids' have long gone. I reckon they'll have to pry my controller from my cold dead hands
  13. This show is always one of the first that comes to mind as a child in the 70's. Kids TV was a totally different kettle of fish in those days. Pretty much zero budget meant very, very low production values. Crap lighting, loads of greys and browns, sinister looking puppets held together with sticky back plastic and greats like Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths ruled the roost. It was fantastic.
  14. She was great in No One Will Save You - especially since there was only a few lines of dialogue in the whole film. Really good physical performance.
  15. Looking forward to watching Milady, and that has absolutely nothing at all to do with Eva Green...no siree, not at all.
  16. I did 378 in 2023 (that's what having older kids does for you ) That's 5 strong movies to start the year with tbh. Society of the Snow is very good indeed.
  17. Oh I've seen it a few times. It was the Baker/Baxter mix up I was referring to
  18. Finally managed to book tickets to see Poor Things next week. Feels like the UK release has taken forever. Lanthimos is one of the most unique contemporary director's for me and I've loved all his work so far. Colour me excited.
  19. Dark and the Wicked is fantastic. The atmosphere and feeling of unseen dread throughout is incredible.
  20. Definitely Tobe Hoopers second best movie. Re. How Susan looked, the vampires sometimes use a 'glamour' to appear normal/attractive/young to their victims. There's a scene when the woman who runs the boarding house has been 'visited ' by the vampire version of her ex husband (the town drunk Weasel) - and she says something like 'I dreamt Weasel visited me, he was young and handsome again'.
