Louis Theroux goes from plain boring with Antony Joshua to exploitive with Pete Doherty. Tough watch the guy clearly needs help and that interview does nothing to help him. Bit sick of Theroux tbh he's clearly lost what he had in getting people to expose the truth and seems to have entrenched himself in doing crap interviews with celebrities.
Pete Doherty is still alive?! I figured he would have been found in some hotel face down, choking on his own vomit by now. Dont know why Theroux is interviewing a guy who made ****e music whos claim to fame is that he once banged Kate Moss. By all accounts everyone who was even semi famous in the 90's banged Kate Moss
I disagree on the ****e music, very talented songwriter and a very troubled individual who put himself through a lot. Regardless though it should have been recognised early doors that this person didn't need an interview he needed help and maybe offered that instead of exploiting him for the purposes of television.
I havent seen the interview, but surely after getting married, having kids and being in rehab half a dozen times, the guy is not still using?
Agreed Luv. Thought Doherty and Carl Barat were both very talented, when I was growing up The Libertines were massive with a lot of young people, alongside bands like The Killers and Biffy Clyro. I think Doherty and the not so secret, but still technically secret fact that the two leads were ****ing one another, distracted from the fact that the music was good. You read that right, pretty common knowledge that Doherty and Barat were "physically intimate" with one another.
Went to see Killers of The Flower Moon last night. Herself is still traumatised, not because it's 3.5 hours long, but because it's pretty ****ing bleak. I liked it - Scorsese at his absolute best, and it turns our Robert DeNiro isn't all washed up as an actor after all. DeCaprio brilliant also, in fact the whole cast was. 4 stars, but choose a cinema with comfy seats.
After the Irishman I was doubtful Scorsese would be able to contain himself in the next film. Was thinking of dodging the cinema for this one and watching it at home, regret not doing that for Oppenheimer.
Don't really know why movies are all so long now, but our local Everyman (formerly Odeon) has big comfy settees; saw Oppenheimer there too, without suffering from a dead leg and cramp in the arse.
As someone who's never really enjoyed the cinema, I think 3 hrs is my limit. Especially when you expect a film to end, you start quietly packing up to go home ... And new scenes starts and you realise it's not done. Which is exactly what Oppenheimer did
Though I wouldnt blame anyone who did, the price those rip off ****s charge. tenner for a cup of coke and a bag of popcorn
Ain't it though - my missus always smuggles small bottles of coke and sweets in for her and the girls in a large handbag - we have a leisure complex not too far away where the various restaurants also give you a discount if you show your cinema tickets - so I tend to go and pick up the tickets a couple of hours before the show, then we eat - then on to the film... also got an Odeon club membership which often gives good offers to tempt you to go - otherwise agree it's a complete rip-off ...
I ****ing do, daylight ROBBERY there. Then they turn and say the cinemas are struggling, what else can we do. First think your bank tells you when you're struggling - increase your prices. Never ever works.
My missus makes sandwiches and brings a flask of tea to the pictures. No crisps though, too noisy and that would be selfish.
Thats what I mean, if their prices were reasonable, id buy from them. Even if it was like £1.50 for a can of pop or something, but when they want me to pay £4.50 for a cup of coke and then a fiver for a paper bag of popcorn that I can buy for 99p in the local Co-op, it takes the piss. The nachos are even worse, they want me to pay £7.50 for what is essentially some doritos with a pot of melted cheese next to it.
They have pensioner day at our nearest cinema, my Nan goes with her friends. They get tea and snacks. She goes mental when someone interrupts her film with a bag of crisps. "Absolutely ruined Gone Girl, Welshie. Drove me up the wall."
