How is this even a point of discussion? Rey clearly beat Kylo Ren at the end of TFA. I mean, maybe if you were watching the film with your eyes closed you’d think that but the visual language of the film, the score and what was going on in the plot all point toward the pretty damn obvious fact that Rey won.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I liked it a lot 😛
Just for fun. This does not signify completion.
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. You’re a trooper for keeping at this, man. 😃
Last scene of the movie!
The speeder bike looks great!!! I can’t wait to watch the whole thing.
You know what’s hilarious? Anything written in all caps.
Oh wait, no it’s not.
Not at all.

Hey! Trademark greenie!
I like Bingo and I wish he came around more.
Stop knocking him out then!

Frances Ha (2012)
I generally don’t like a lot of ‘mumblecore’ indie films, but for some reason I really liked this one. Maybe it’s to do with the David Bowie songs that are sprinkled throughout.

Deadpool (2016)
This was a lot of fun. I’m pretty much done with the whole superhero thing, but I found this whole movie really refreshing.

The tall rock formations and brightly colored sky fit TOS as well. Good video, even if I’m not particularly a fan of Rihanna or the song.
Reminds me of the “God” planet from ST:V.

Irregardless, that cover is hilarious.

Rewatched ‘The Ridiculous Menace’ and ‘Attack of the Ridiculousness’ last night. Hilarious.
From what I’ve heard and read, the trailer for William Friedkin’s Sorcerer played before Star Wars in some theatres. I’m not sure what other films were advertised as well.
RoboCop (1987) – A
Just wonderful. It’s probably an almost perfect film, for what it is.
YES.
YES YES YES. RoboCop is one of the best films ever made (and I’m not joking or using hyperbole there)
RoboCop 2 (1990) – C+
There are some things that I like in it, but generally isn’t very good in my opinion. I guess the story it told just wasn’t the story I wanted to hear. Definitely not in my personal canon 😛.
There’s some really great stuff in RoboCop 2. It’s nowhere near as brilliant as the first film, but all the bits involving RoboCop’s new directives are gold.

Phantom lady (1944)
I’ve recently been on a bit of a film noir kick and managed across this one. Story is fairly alright, and the reveal of the villain doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense but the film’s style is what it has going for it. Plus it’s nice to see a film noir with a female protagonist for a change.

Noir? Billy Wilder writing and Directing? Barbara Stanwyck?
YES PLEASE.

Blacula (1972)
Hell. YEAH.
This movie is fucking great.

Saw Star Trek Beyond yesterday… Loved it. Out of the recent ones (liked Trek '09, loathed Into Dorkness) this is probably the best. It’s defo the most Treky of the three.
Ah, greenpenguino has returned! Salutations, my fine, flippered, verdant fellow!
Hey neat!
Hey Guys!! Sorry I’ve been absent for so long, but I had to go away to space-ireland for a while after my cult of space-wizards sort of backfired. Also, I’ve got a beard!

Night of the Demon (1957)
Laugh riot this one. Does have some really good cinematography though.
3 out 5 balls.
Sorcerer (1977)
Criminally underrated. Absolutely love this film.
6 out 5 balls.
All That Jazz (1979)
Great movie. Has a few problems (there’s a really squicky heart surgery scene. Bleegh! and the ending stage show seems to go on FOREVER.)
4 out 5 balls.
Cabaret (1972)
Had a copy of this film for ages, but never got round to seeing it 'til recently. Watched it after seeing ‘All that Jazz’ and liked it way more than ‘All that Jazz’.

I’ve just reinstalled Kotor 2 (with five or six mods and patches to get the damn thing to work)!

The Raven (2011)
A period serial-killer thriller with Edgar Allen Poe as the hero? Why not! And it kind of works too. It’s chock full of historical that-didn’t-happens but I’m sure Poe would’ve approved of his life being used to make such a nasty, dark work of fiction.
John Cusack is brilliant as Poe and so is Luke Evans as the obligatory “policeman who really, really wants to catch the bad guy”. Alice Eve is enchanting as ever but is little more than a damsel in distress. Brendan Gleeson is in it too, playing the exact same character he always does, but he’s as good as ever so it doesn’t matter.
These sort of films are ten-a-penny in modern (American) cinema but it was a neat twist to see things moved back a century and a half. It’s a worthwhile watch if you’re in the mood for this sort of thing.
I give it 3 pendulums out of 5.

“LOOOOOOONNNGFELLOW!!!”
I’m currently reading ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’. I’ve tried (for the second time this year, and for the upteenth time overall) reading ‘War and Peace’, but it’s just so damn dense.
Invaders From Mars (8th Doctor, January 2002)
This was a fun one. They’re absolutely terrible at American accents but the homage to both the radio plays of old and hardboiled detective stories was great.
Oh god, yeah, they’re terrible! I cannot stand when British people do American accents (and this is coming from a Brit), there’s always one or two exceptions but most of the time they just sound awful, same with Americans pretending to be Brits.
It was a pretty fun story though, and if you listen carefully there’s all sorts of purposeful little bits and intentional anachronisms that lead into Chimes of Midnight.
…
I’ve watched all of two episodes of this series so far, what with my interest in Doctor Who decreasing more and more recently. The past few series have really not been up to snuff and I’ve just got fed up with it.
Why would you want to buy counterfeit money?? That doesn’t make a lick of sense! I mean, it would depend on the exchange rate, I guess. 50 counterfeit quid for 20p/$167 for $2.8934(or whatever the exchange rate is)??
Blow Out (1981)
Absolutely superb film about a sound man (John Travolta) who records what appears to be an accident, however as the plot progresses we find out that it’s anything but. This is probably one of Travolta’s best performances since Saturday Night Fever.

Obvious Child (2014)
There’s a warmth, authenticity and genuineness to the characters in this film that feels very real. Obviously (badum tish) this movie isn’t for everyone, considering it deals with Abortion in a frank and honest way. It’s also very sharply written and very funny. I hope to see more from both this actress and the director in the future.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
You probably couldn’t make something like this movie now, and certainly couldn’t have made it five years later, what with it’s strong anti-nationalist message. A great anti-war movie.

Safe in Hell (1931)
3 out of 5 balls
Night Nurse (1931)
Barbara Stanwyck (wistful sigh) is wonderful here. Clark Gable, known for playing somewhat heroic characters, here gives a rare performance as a complete bastard. Also there’s a fair amount of, totally necessary, scenes of the main characters undressing each other, in case you want to see that for some reason.
4 out of 5 balls
Baby Face (1933)
Extremely racey for it’s time, this film follows Barbara Stanwyck (wistful sigh) as a young woman who, after being exploited by her father for most of her life, turns the tables and starts exploiting men using her sexual prowess and sex appeal to get what she wants. Also a young John Wayne shows up, playing a complete pushover (yeah, I know!)
5 out of 5 balls
Gold Diggers of 1933
Simultaneously sexy, hilarious, and somewhat bleak, this film is absolutely wonderful. Aline MacMahon as Trixie is probably my favourite character in the movie, she has all the best lines (she actually reminds me a lot of an ex-girlfriend!)
5 out of 5 balls
42nd Street (1933)
Gold Diggers of 1935
No-where near as good as the 1933 film. It’s right at the start of the Breen Era of the hays code, and it shows. There’s none of the fun innuendo and sexiness of the last film. It’s not quite as fun.

The Brighton Strangler
Found out about this via the attaboy Clarence podcast (which is fantastic, I recommend you all to listen to it) while looking for more stuff on pre-code cinema. Don’t get me wrong, this movie is crap. But it’s that sort of charming, fun kind of crap. The acting is more wooden than a pine forest and you’d find better writing on a tin of soup (seriously, it has some of the most awful bits of exposition I’ve ever heard). It’s all very silly.

Bizarro logic am make plenty of nonsense.
Soooo… that means it does make sense? That’s the trouble with bizarros, you can never understand anything they’re saying. Not that I have anything against Bizarros of course! Some of my best friends are bizarros.
