What the hell?  You don't 'sneak' food into a cinema, you BRING food into a cinema.

It it produces anything like this, I’m sold:

Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Hotel Budapest are totally my jam.  Brilliant films, beautiful, with humour and an emotional punch.   But they are twee, can't be denied.

Friday night double-bill:. Buried (2010) & Touching the Void.

He’s a twitchy character actor cursed with the face of a haircut model.

Wot no Babylon 5?

Luck, Don’t be a Lady Tonight.

Friday night’s double-bill: Ex Machina (2016) and Short Circuit (1986).  Similarities include a suprise dance scene and robots scavenging for replacement arms.

Which one's the Predator?

Yeah, it’s not a horror film really. No blood, no jumps, no ‘last girl’. Slow pace. The only person horrified is Howie, and that’s partly because, as an uptight, catholic, 40 year old virgin, small town cop he can’t cope with the islanders’ alternative lifestyle.

The Wicker Man is great, so weird and erie. The scene with the animal masks at the harbour really works. And the music is super-effectice, both diegetic and non.

At the risk of turning this thread into a massive list of pagan animal mask scenes, you've neglected the Ur pagan animal mask scene: the one where the policeman comes ashore in the original The Wicker Man.

Sounds more like he’s taken up fencing.

And his work on the theme song of Going for Gold. (Yes, this really is Hans Zimmer’s early work).

Sheen and Tennant will be fine, I’m sure, and the cast generally looks pretty good. But it’ll be hard to beat the casting if the BBC radio drama from a few years back, with Peter Serafinowicz and Mark Heap as Aziraphale and Crowley.

Well, now I know!

I always thought it was meant to be “six gun” because in the The Clash version, the words “six gun” are underscored by a six-against-four drum pattern.

“Night on Bare Mountain” by Mussorgsky on the Amiga version of Elite.
