It’s not just English speakers who are at it, though:
South London, jazz, Spain, films, New York.

All that. And Tony Scott’s Unstoppable a decent companion to it.

Glad to know you’re in the best place in London.

Wonderful! A Rosenberg arrangement?
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
There was a very good Bunker about this just the other day.

Bad but good ones: Waterworld, Showgirls, Batman Forever, Braveheart, Species, Jade...err...ok, maybe not quite a top 10.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
There's enough for a top 20 here - and even a top 10 'bad but good ones'. Here's my second top 10: 12 Monkeys, Hackers, GoldenEye, Babe, La Haine, Leaving Las Vegas, Safe, To Die For, Welcome to the Dollhouse

Community Fibre all the way (if it's available).

Including ‘eurosceptic’, as well.

Seems odd for that one to be an 18 cert, but maybe I don't remember it well enough.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Will do. And also about the other Moviedromes I’ve kept for all this time.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
I have it on VHS.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed. Case in point - an entertaining thread that’s been going for 15 years where ppl theorise and comment on the film Memento. There are new posts every so often and they’re mostly reasonable and informed. And the civility of it all feels like it’s from another era.

Some great, if brief, appearances as a youngster in Alien 3 and Law & Order.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
And another zombie movie with '28' in the title.

Very good episode, of course.

Sounded like something was missing in the edit. At the beginning, JS talked about Trump’s hair and then we missed the punchline.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Karma for 2016.

His brand’s kitchen surface disinfectant isn’t great either. Loosens dirt slower than many others we’ve tried.

The Zimmer score and the Scott quip in the opening scene (re Cruise’s constant grinning) help a little to cover the preening and silliness. But surely just the fact that Woo could do what he did in such a big franchise was impressive. Never bothered with Paycheck.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree on M:I-2’s script, but what about the shooting style? The balletic ‘raid on Biocyte’ scene and the clever motorbike chase at the end are ones to savour, in my view. And just the way Woo fetishises Cruise’s features…

Some genuine jaw-dropping moments in this: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Visually, that reminds me of Trump’s scrawl.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Needless to say, I’m looking forward to it.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s an entirely new feed, isn’t it? So subscribers to the original will need to search for the new one, by the look of it.

Classic bully. He only picks on who he thinks are 'little' people. Never anyone equal or more powerful.

I remember Attila from Hungary was pretty good as well.

Really good, isn’t it. Also available here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Very timely. And very prescient.

In Spanish, the stress is where you see the accent: Pérez

I can never get out of my head the fact that Bannon produced the film Titus. And we know how that one ends…

Isn’t it before Alperton on the Piccadilly Line?

St George’s Hall, Liverpool, no?

I loved Panic Room on the first watch, but then on further viewings I realised just how shallow it was. The film equivalent of Reeves/Mortimer’s Dizzy.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Topsy Turvy all the way.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
I reckon he wants to ‘buy’ Britain…

Maybe jumping the gap in the horseshoe and heading over to Galloway’s party?

Act 3 was pure Yuzna-meets-De Palma. Unexpected but great to see
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
This one led me to discover that Alan Smithee has a really long filmography. And IMDB says he’s even got some upcoming projects.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow - I didn’t realise he’d released so many albums.
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Done that already and look where it got us.

And how does inheriting money automatically give someone the motivation to create new businesses?
Dan M (@firstdan.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed, but I did still like it

Absolutely awful TV and I had to switch off after 20 mins. Bit concerned that the £2000 figure may become 2024’s equivalent of ‘£350M a week’.
