Brilliant that there's so many rereleases out. I've seen Akira and Close Encounters so far this year. Highlander was out but missed it. Lord of the Rings were out again too. The Dark Knight's out now, Interstellar's out next month, as is Hereditary, Moonlight, Gravity, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY. 

BTW this is the link for the Showcase Flashback page listing all those screenings, for those close by to town:

Also, the Phoenix this month are screening Boogie Nights, The Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind, Baz Lurman's Romeo and Juliet, Call Me By Your Name, Legally Blonde, Robocop, Some Like It Hot, Cinema Paradiso, Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight, and To Catch A Thief. They're also doing a Coen Brothers season over the summer and a Cornetto Trilogy.

Where I'm at right now, they're showing pretty much all Tarantino movies, plus Il Gattopardo, True Lies, The Warriors, The Deer Hunter or Grave of the Fireflies, among others.

 

Spoilt for choices.

I don't remember there being this many rereleased before COVID but I'm glad there are now. SO many films I've avoided seeing until I could watch it on a big screen have been ticked off recently.

I hardly ever re-watch movies that are out in theatres.

 

But Project Hail Mary is/was absolutely worth it.

Glad it's still out and people are still going to see it, 3 months later. Great film, brilliant cast and stunning cinematography.

Impromptu rewatch of 1917.

That final scene where he climbs up over the front line and starts to run gives me the goosebumps every time. Incredible filmmaking. Love this film. 

This psychotic little ****.

Latest update says the man has special needs and was there with his carer

As a social carer for someone with learning difficulties, this is my worst nightmare. Absolutely harrowing.

The Premier League and their pet clubs have broken the sport. 

Nice

Oh you lucky bastards

So Doctor Who is offically over... well for now anyway. Christmas special cancelled, Russell T Davies quits and Bad Wolf productions withdrawn. Probably for the best last six years the show as been dreadful needs a good long lay off. Fans didnt seem to upset with this annoucement which tells you everything.

Honestly for the best. RTD2 was mostly a disaster. I was optimistic when he came back but he absolutely ****ed the show in multiple ways. He’s not only left the show in a worse position narratively but now its entire production is up in the air and nobody wants to produce or act in it for fear of their career, and now the actor tied to the role of The Doctor is going to be asked relentlessly about what’s going on when she only signed on to do a cameo for a friend. 

Best case scenario - give it a rest for a couple of years, and get a showrunner without a connection to the show to breath new life into it.

My preference would be waiting for Jack Thorne to clear his slate and cast Michael Socha as The Doctor, bringing the show back in 2028/2029. Ignore the Piper regeneration and start it off kinda like Rose in 2005; new Doctor, keeping his recent history vague and letting the audience rediscover him through a new group of companions. Try new stuff with the format - Flux was mostly shit but the serial format could work with a much better story. I’d like to see them trying out 2 serials a year so that it’s on every six months or so for a handful of episodes. 

Bad tackle? Believe it or not straight to jail

Honestly surprised he already isn’t inside to be honest.

Marcin Wasilewski would have had a lifetime ban, if he played with this ref in charge.

 

 

Benalouane would be in solitary for life.
