    The Canon of the Overrated

    The Canon of the Overrated

    Agree on the congos (i think its too subtle so the appeal must be a connoisseural thing... like fine wine tasting) Also, bunny wailer - blackheart man. Just seemed flat and limp to me.

    Grime doc on BBC

    seeing jammer twenty years on from murkle man. TWENTY YEARS ON! what a way to feel old. ending made me feel unsure where grime is at or headed (stormzy doesnt count), if anywhere, though that might not matter (i also have no clue as im totally out the loop), as this is about the past. those...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    cos i now want to be entertained (or at least have my attention held) when i go to the cinema and have less time for arthouse ponderousness, when i saw it earlier this year, i thought the 70s NY footage was amazing (and i liked how the letters/narration became inconsequential and drowned out by...

    Terminator Is Out There

    https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/best-80s-movies/ terminators in there somewhere. only seen about half of the top 10. i did see possession and green ray but barely remember them other than thinking the sudden change in possession was a bit crap.

    It doesn't matter what it says, or how, just that it gets ppl tweeting/updating about it, keeping the discourse going (and obv buying tickets). Im sure this will he accused of mansplaining but either way... https://www.the...

    films you've seen recently and would NOT recommend

    not seen the new one yet but this seemed like a fair assessment of nolans films, covering both the irritating parts of his filmmaking (the hyper literalness, the didactic, the stiffness, the over ambitiousness, the shallowness, the weird lack of flow in much of his films) and the better stuff...

    Films you've seen recently and would recommend WITH reservations

    talk to me (new aus horror). bit like heriditary, theme wise, IIRC, and other films trying to combine horror with grief. its well executed, i could see the directors going on to better things, its nice and visceral without going the nasty route (it does have quite a few gloopily gross looking...

    Film - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    true enough, well when it concerns big studio product, but otherwise, i think they are fine. i just mentioned them as they are refreshing in the sense of not aiming for the highbrow, even when writing about 'arthouse' classics or indie films or whatever. lwlies is also a bit dubious...

    great that hollywood has finally moved on from rinsing the same old marvel and DC characters to something more original at last.

    Barbie

    i like this explanation, im just not sure it was consistent enough, or effective, in the way you often get in films where an alien comes down to earth in the body of a human, etc etc. but yeah, its cool to watch a film pretty much everyone else is also watching, makes a change to see a proper...
