Good call. He really, really is. I liked Rush way more than I have any right to like a film about car racing.

I am so glad that Phoenix gets love here.

a bargain at half the price

i don't think i've ever heard any of her songs. i will grant the rights to republish this comment to anyone who wants to put it in a book. yours for a monkey.

last time a guy asked me over to watch Netflix we, well, actually watched Netflix. What We Do in the Shadows and a bunch of Brooklyn 99 episodes to be precise. then again I'm too old to understand, let alone use, the word 'bae' so maybe that was the best I could expect.

I'm on board. But I'll watch anything with spaceships and a fuckton of explosions and stuff.

But Chris Hemsworth in like ripped shirts and stuff doing all manly seafaring things and stuff. Please don't tell me I have to deny myself…

I only saw Victor Frankenstein at the cinema. I was going to go to Carol tonight but I have to work. Anyway it was an odd one. Some bizarrely ugly and graphic medical horror combined with lots of pretty Gothic froth, and a plot that is so thin and loosely bound they were clearly saying 'who cares? you're here to see…

Twice with that series I've had the spooky thing of being right exactly where the characters were when I was reading the books. One bit of one of them takes place in Kentish Town/Archway but specifically one of the roads near Dartmouth Park, and I was staying around there at the time, and going down that road when I…

It's been so good. Everything that's happened with Jez's life coaching has been perfect. And Sober Hans. It had to happen at some point and I'm glad we got to see it.

The second, mainly - it cycles - sometimes it's can't get to sleep before 4 or 5, no matter what I do, and other times it's waking at 4 or 5, no matter what I do. It's depression based I think - late night means more sad thoughts, dwelling on everything that's wrong, etc, but it's not panic or anything.

I think it's closer to 'well done, you pre-ordered a bunch of overpriced crap, but since it's not hurting anyone I guess it's your choice' ?? personally I think it's a misunderstanding to look at a kickstarter as either some kind of investment or some kind of donation - neither party, creator or patrons, should look…

A couple of cocktails is OK. I am sort of working on a two-drink maximum on any given night - I don't go out enough usually to have to worry about frequency. But on Wed I had 3 pints. Three! This was bad. Only the second time this term for more than two drinks. (Last time was last Friday because I was at a party where…

Wild Strawberries maybe? If you're in the mood for something moving and philosophical. Or Persona if you want something bleak and dark. Both are amazing works of art anyway.

My friend just saw her in London a ittle while ago. He loves her - even though he has no money he went anyway. I on the other hand decided not to travel to see Mew this week and am totally regretting it :(

Macbeth is amazing. I really really recommend it.

I don't think Two Days One Night is the Dardennes' best, myself. I think it was the first film of theirs that I've not bought into. It's a great performance, but their brand of modern fairy tale realism just didn't do it for me combined with the subject matter. It was half a realistic portrait of depression, and half…

I always wanted to have dinner with Lars and Werner Herzog.

I fucking love Lars.

The Patrick O'Brian book series is one of my favourite things in the world. If you liked the film I would say give it a try. They're amazing.
