Saw it this evening. Some scattered thoughts: - The humor missed more than it landed for me. Might have been affected by a long weekend and a bad crowd. Will hope this plays better second time. I was surprised to hear a few people call it funnier…

I've made it a point to avoid this thread ever since joining the forum back in the summer. Two years I've stuck to the shadows, avoiding every bit of news about the film that I could. Been a long while since I've gone into any film entirely fresh, a…

Tough matches both, but I'll go YOLT and OHMSS. For however much I love the others, these two come from the heyday of the series and despite the two later entries being among the best we got post-1969, they quite understandably fall short of the two…

In terms of Hitch, his top tier for me (chronologically) would be something like: THE LADY VANISHES, SHADOW OF A DOUBT, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, REAR WINDOW, and PSYCHO (those last two being my absolute favorites). After that would Be NOTORIOUS, LIFEBO…

One more episode to go! It's been another fantastic season. Agree with all the comments about Foy, although of the current crop I will be most sad to see Matt Smith departing. I think he's been just brilliant. I loved the Philip-centric episodes thi…

Watched the first episode of season two last evening. So glad to have the boys back. I'm happy with the tweaks they've made to the format (although I feel like I did enjoy the Celebrity Brain Crash antics each week far more than most).

Assuming that populations are in fact democratically selecting the 'worst' options, it strikes me that the first step ought to be ensuring that outcome is in fact the democratic option. In other words, we should be trying to nudge the voting pool to…

LALD over TMWTGG - These two are neck-and-neck for me, but lately I've been feeling the LALD love a bit more. I think it holds together a bit better than the latter, and though I do love Rog's TMWTGG performance, I think his debut here is in most wa…

I heartily recommend Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It's about a female standup comic in New York during the 1950s. Just finished watching this first season, which debuted last week. Having caught the pilot earlier this year in March or so, I w…

MR vs. DAF - Ultimately a bittersweet call, as I do like DAF for what it is. But MR is the better achievement. Moore at his peak, Tournier's dazzling dream-like cinematography (notably the scene with the dogs chasing Corinne through the forest), Gle…

I feel like I'm unfairly more kind to the Brosnan era than most, but I wouldn't go so far a to slot it above the Craig years. GE and TND are neck and neck mid-pack for me, then TWINE and DAD are at bottom. There might be the kernel of an argument…

Haven't been around much last few weeks, but here's approximately what I've watched since then: STARDUST MEMORIES THE CONFORMIST SEDUCED AND ABANDONED THE BIG SLEEP (rewatch) OUR HOSPITALITY (rewatch) THE NAVIGATOR ACE IN THE HOLE FIVE GRA…

Rewatched Charlie Brooker's Newswipe series over the past few days. Forgot how great it was. On to Weekly Wipe next, after a pit stop at How Television Ruined Your Life.

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I've also seen the DiCaprio MAN IN THE IRON MASK but I'm afraid that's the extent of my experience with the Musketeers, film or otherwise. I've long intended to read more Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo being an all-time favor…

The motorcycle chase is a good mark in the sand for me, as well. Although the ending is pure nostalgic 90s action schlock, and I can easily fall into line with it. I go back and forth between GE and TND as to which tops the Brosnan era. At the mo…

I saw it (ORIENT EXPRESS) this passed Friday. Having never seen the '74 or read the Christie source, I did quite enjoy it. I'd wager it'll end up falling mid-pack for me in terms of 2017 releases. Perhaps just a bit higher. Made for an enjoyable nig…
