I hope he does a trilogy where everyone talks like the characters in Brick

I haven’t actually seen most of the Muppets films, but I do really love the 2011 film, I was grinning like an idiot throughout. And as mentioned Bret McKenzie’s songs are amazing, though he should have won the Oscar for Life’s a Happy Song instead.

New films in the UK this month that I want to see:

Seeing the rave reviews for this has now convinced me that the reason why I like Frances Ha and Mistress America far more than Noah Baumbach’s other films is because of Gerwig’s co-writing credits.

The poor cat! It was so sweet as well. This is all your fault Dustin!

I think it’s decent, pretty funny in places, wish there’d been more of the rock guy Taika Waititi voices. I preferred the other two Marvel films this year though, there’s nothing in this quite as funny as the Mary Poppins line in Guardians 2 and no moment as impressive as the twist in Spider-Man: Homecoming (well, I…

In the UK The Death of Stalin is out today, so things look a bit better over here

Gerard Butler is like the male Kate Hudson, if he’s in a live-action film, give it as wide a berth as possible (Almost Famous is the exception that proves the rule for Hudson, god knows what it is for Butler. Coriolanus, maybe).

Who would have predicted that the major hits from these remakes of films past would be The Karate Kid, True Grit and 21 Jump Street? I think studios just keep rolling the dice and desperately hope they’ll strike it lucky. And don’t pay enough attention to budgets sometimes.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, $32 million would normally be a great opening weekend for an R-rated, 163 minute long sombre SF film, it’s just unfortunately for Blade Runner 2049 it has an MCU-sized budget (the same thing happened with Ghostbusters last year, which did perfectly well for a Paul Feig comedy film, but…

Good list, I’d have Her at No. 1, probably Eternal Sunshine just behind.

CBS makes a terrible show. My surprise levels are zero.

But it already exists!

Went to see the following at the cinema:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Amazing, but you already knew that.

It doesn’t have the Kanye West song in it? That’s an automatic D grade

Ha, no, but the film certainly reminded me of Antichrist at times

Me watching Mother!: Hmmm Darren Aronofsky seems to have turned into Lars von Trier
Me seeing the character names in the credits for Mother!: Oh god, he HAS turned into Lars von Trier

It’ll be Brie Larson’s turn to get this nonsense around 2019 by my estimations

Princess Carolyn breaking down in the car, so heartbreaking :(

Not really surprising having seen it, it sure as hell isn’t for everyone. Cinemascore is pretty dumb anyway, The Emoji Movie got a B, The Wolf of Wall Street got a C etc
