Nerds are real and you're probably mad because you are one,

The myth the people who live in cities are somehow reaping the rewards of a recovering economy doesn't help.

Don't you turn the pages?

Yeah, there was an interview with him where he said The Nice Guys was for a TV show he pitched and got rejected so he retooled the pilot into a movie. the thing that gave it away to me was the central mystery adding up to nothing in a way that would play better in a TV series, where it could be revealed later, instead

I missed this when it was in the cinema but everything I read makes it sound like a more prosaic, blunt version of The Measure of a Man and that's a little off putting. But, as someone who works for a company that's very unreliable with the guaranteed hours and, starting this Friday, will be unemployed until my

Also, don't forget their brief concern over Transnistria wanting to join with Russia. Nobody had ever heard of the place but suddenly their allegiance was of paramount importance.

A bunch of these aren't out in the UK until next year so my preliminary top ten list, taken from Letterboxd, looks like this:-
