films

Superb stuff, I read the books and it's a great adaptation.

 

Jurassic World: Dominion. give it a solid 6, ain't gonna win any awards, but I knew what it was going in and it didn't disappoint. You even get a Dino tag-team fight with a freddiekrugersaurus.

 

I'll be honest, I'm always hoping any sequel might provide a fraction of the edge of seat stuff of the original but they never do. I was looking forward to this one but most reviews saying it's pretty run of the mill.

 

Catch 22 still available on All4 superb show. The Virtues also on there both 9+ shows.

 

can't decide whether to watch it or not, I know it'll be disappointing as it's my favourite book and I don't think some of the funniest parts will come across on screen. They made it into a film in the 70's and it was ****ing ****.

 

It's done really well, I doubt it'll live up to the book but I don't think it'll be something that will piss you off as it's genuinly well done with some good performances and visually it's really good.

 

Finished Kenobi last night - 9/10.

Wasn’t overly keen on these Inquisitorius people, bit too cheesy even by Star Wars standards but they didn’t ruin it enough to drop the overall quality. For nostalgic purposes alone it’s just ****ing class.

Probably best thing Disney’s done to date with regards to Star Wars, I like Mando too but Boba Fett and sequel trilogy were horse ****.

 

I haven't bothered with the other series but gave this a go due to the nostalgia as you mentioned and also because McGregor is a fantastic actor and perfect for the role.

The final two episodes were absolute class and made up for a lot of abysmal moments in the first 4. I have to give the writers credit for turning Reva's character arc from one of the most annoying into one of the best arcs the franchise has ever produced. The twist in Ep.5 then the redemption scene at the end of Ep.6 were brilliant scripting.

For me, this and Rogue One have contributed the most to the Star Wars universe since Lucas sold shop, and it is telling that they were rooted in stories and plots he had already sowed the seeds for with the first 6 films.

When it comes to charting new territory outside of the world crafted by Lucas, Disney has failed miserably. The sequel trilogy weren't just terrible Star Wars films, they are terrible films full stop.

 

Nah Reva annoyed the **** out of me and was part of that Inquisitor **** that tried ruining the show but failed to do so as Kenobi/ Vader just overpowered their tripe. I’m disappointed they didn’t give more screen time to Kumail Nunjiani though

Rogue One was solid enough, not a classic but not a complete flop, Vader’s scene along with Ben Mendelsohn saved it. They’re making a prequel Andor series from it… **** knows why.

Mando’s definitely worth watching but Boba Fett is absolutely not, it’s so bad, as in sequel trilogy bad.

 

House of the dragon out in August


And now this

 

Finished We Own This City. Excellent. Some horrible bastards in that force. Seems I now have Dopesick too. Will give that a go

 

What's the gist?

 

Francis Mcdormand and Bill Murray. That's enough by itself.

 

Just watched new episode of the boys, epic.

Now doing the last obi wan

 

Back roads of I wasn’t too impressed with the Umberella ****e. Abit like American super hero’s yawn.

 

Dopesick is ****ing superb. Keating brilliant. Can't get Kitteridge

 

Get Ketamine instead then .

 

that **** Martin should get the books finished. that'll never happen now of course because he's chasing all the fame, the celebrity hungry whore...

 

Hes only got about 8years max according to his waistline anyway.
