Joy which I liked more than is strictly justifiable - it gets by on sheer Russell energy and charisma really. It's kind of a fairy tale about capitalism, which is not something I approve of, but it's charming as anything. De Niro hasn't been this good in ages, and the leads are lovely. Lawrence is fantastic.
I said…

You're right - I enjoyed all three of those, and clearly that includes his performances - so he definitely deserves my forgiveness.

I felt exactly the same way about Joy. I was so glad to see it and she was so great that I wilfully overlooked any doubts. I want a Russell-Lawrence-Cooper film every year now forever.

I love her too, and almost everything she's been in, but part of the reason I like her is I don't actually find her beautiful or even pretty. I always like seeing someone I don't think of as good-looking on screen. So for me she was a good Jane!

I loved The Falling. I think maybe psychosexual dramas are one of my favourite things! It had that dreamy atmosphere and tone that Morley obviousy borrowed from stuff like Picnic at Hanging Rock and Innocence etc, and I am a huge sucker for that kind of thing.

I think I unfairly judged Gleeson for being in one of the worst films ever, namely About Time. He's probably loads better than that really.

My friend from Hong Kong played us her Kpop/Jpop playlist once, it was terrific. If I have any energy ever at any point I will look for some more I think.

I watched Walk of Shame on Netflix. I am suitably ashamed.

Stemless wine glasses again. This came up a little while ago. What does this mean? Is this just 'we drink wine from tumblers' or is it something else? I'm still confused about this.

You sound like you're doing well. Just one thing about the Facebook people - I used to be a person with a proper life and a house and garden and a job… then depression ruined it all, it was depression that caused my break-up with my ex and I lost everything. Because I didn't realise how bad it was until too late and I…

I love Modest Mouse. I'd also find it hard to choose a favourite.

Here's a thing this revival has made me feel: I've become all get off my lawn territorial about the original show. Because I'm NOW OLD. And it was MINE when I was young and I loved it when it was new and it was the first TV show I ever loved (aside from, like, Bagpuss and Willo the Wisp and Chorlton and the Wheelies…

I love the dumb procedural, but I'm sad they couldn't spare him. Boo to them.

that also happened in series seven and by series nine they were kissing and stuff. I can't remember what day of the week it is but I remember ALL this stuff. I think X-files shipper websites were about the first websites I ever saw.

He also called sex chatlines and read Celebrity Skin. I remember being slightly saddened by that, Mulder was the man I loved for quite some time, after all

She lived in London growing up, I believe.

Well quite. I really really loved seeing all three of them.

I kind of loved that.

Was there a scene I missed where you could see his stomach? All I saw was the one where he was wearing long loose robes. I couldn't tell.

Because Spacek has Space in it and Carrie Fisher has Carrie in it! So the studio thought it was too confusing!
(I know it didn't happen)
