Mission Impossible III onwards is where I get them all mixed up because they all feel and look the same. It’s hard to convey just how much an improvement Harry Potter 3 was over the first 2. A director with a keen visual sense took over and it looked both more real and more magical at the same time. Then 4 happened and…

Willa is a Roy and is playing the long game. I’ve a feeling she is going to bring this all down somehow. And Marcia? Top 3 at least.

The charge was that she takes her money and does terrible things with it. By a large margin she donates to charities that do amazing things, so I was correcting that. Is someone supports anything to do with Harry Potter, they are by extension supporting a lot of amazing charities. People find it a contradiction, like…

Whatever your thoughts on Rowling, it is incorrect to say she has done terrible things with her money. She supports left-wing causes and went from billionaire status to millionaire by donating to:

You’re absolutely right. If you loved Andor and the way it presents a Star Wars universe, featuring unremarkable people doing remarkable things under the oppressive boot of the Empire, then you aren’t going to connect with a ‘Mandalorian’ or a ‘Boba Fett’ show where everything seems like an easier win while notable…

It’s dreadfully sentimental, I don’t care that the human race has horrifically gone and been replaced. The way its shot, the puppy dog eyes and faux innocence that David displays, the use of fairytales, the mother, its all designed to make you feel something for someone who isn’t there. They’re not real. It doesn’t…

If you go into The Happening assuming it’s a comedy (and it might be) then it would be number 1

I don’t need to win Best Picture to have an opinion, I don’t like Birdman and find it weak and more obsessed with craft rather than story or character. Plenty of average films have won best picture. Coda is an example of this. Even if it was a great film, it doesn’t place his opinion above mine. Instead of swearing…

Working as a film director doesn’t give you better taste in films. Why would you think that? It doesn’t elevate your opinion or make it more vaild than mine or yours. He’s entitled to his opinion but he is not “my betters”, he is just a man who made some films.

You realise its possible to enjoy Marvel films AND a range of other, wholly different, films too?

Never seen that so going to try find it now and watch it!

You were right to think that. He would have been great

Sad to hear this. A really good actor with real presence and charisma, even if the film wasn’t that good - he stood out. I think Room With a View will be my favorite performance of his but have fond memories of him in Gothic and being crazy in Siesta.

I get your argument for it but the flash back was also cliche outbreak stuff. Grabbing scientist as shes trying to relax, autopsy scene with dawning realization and then that ridiculous “bomb the whole city” like she was prepared to die rather than find a cure. Still loved the episode though

I’m hoping there aren’t any more flashbacks to the past. I want a story told in the present, don’t need the extra context. I get it. Seems like a weak device to pad out the series.

Peeping Tom is a masterpiece and should be on everyone’s list of films to see right away if you haven’t. Its all about cinema and the media and the power of an image and its great

Yeah, I was meant they mentioned it a lot

I like the idea very much and hope the execution matches the concept. What the article doesn’t make clear, however, is if this is an original show or it’s based on something by another broadcaster, perhaps in a different country.

Incredibles 2 is the one I disagree with most here in a list. A massive let down after the incredible(?) first film. The rest... yeah Maverick and Fury Road deseve to be here

I’d be happy if Everything Everywhere All At Once and Elvis didn’t win anything. Liked both films but not awards worthy. They’re flabby and boring in places.
