  1. all your answers are contained there-in its been a cunt of a week, got some new/old records & the vape is hovering, let strangeness commence ps: lobbing "pick a strain that better suits you" is futile as if yer not close to a source guessing a strain at small deal levels in this cuntry is a low-odds game and Oz too by the sounds of it
  2. There's maybe a tolerable short film in there, I watched it while browsing the internet, my new worst habit, but that didn't mean i couldn't engage, it was nice as background then became annoying. The 1989 cartoon is 88 minutes, this is 117 minutes. I didn't think he'd make something after War Horse which I disliked more, but that film was more watchable despite its Hovis advert aesthetic. I don't think kids will find BFG enchanting, it's never funny or interesting beyond the opening. I'd think they'd get restless. Hunt For The Wilder people This is wonderful, within 20 seconds -as it basically begins as Housebound does- I was sold on the film, and like that film it wrings as much comedy from every character that pops up. I wouldn't know what defines New Zealand comedy, but the depiction of the police or child protection services in these two films i find so effortlessly funny. Always this clash of personalities, of those too intense, and those too blasé, of those who talk too much, and those too cool to talk. 8...probably my film is of the year so far. I haven't watched anything dramatic or much foreign stuff yet (always just stick to what's easy unfortunately). Of all that I've seen, i'm not fond of this year. Supersonic Thought I'd watch this, I'd seen Amy and Montage of Heck recently, about a woman and a man (respectively) and thought I'd give this a go about two men who were brothers and sang songs. 'Oasis' had completely passed me by, I have no idea how, I guess I was too immersed in videogames in the 90s and my parents had banned Top Of The Pops in the house? I dunno. You get a real insight into how stupid they are when they're being filmed dossing around trying to one-up eone another, the brothers equally envious of eachother. He can write but I can sing but I've lost my voice and he's started to sing I'm going to find a pen and some paper and start scribbling away or else I'm stood there with a tambourine. Of course I'd heard of Oasis. They were the biggest band in the solar system in the summer of 96. I just thought I'd try to pretend to not know of them, give it my all, live it large, live for the day. I did know of them and always found them dirge. You listen to Live Forever and do think; great song! You listern to Wonderwall and think; great song! And so on. Great in an anthemic sense, but still ...dirge. Same mid tempo dirge, anonymous drumming, anonymous guitars, anonymous bass, bland empty lyrics and overrated vocals. There's something there despite all that. I didn't connect with Oasis, no one ever told me not to look back in anger. I've never smoked. I went to Maine Road football ground once, but support Man United. Erm. I have two brothers. I grew up in Manchester. We fought over how could you delete my Perfect Dark save file? The modern day Noel is funny, probably the best interviewee out there. The footage in this film is insane how it provides video for nearly every bit of narration. It's all very seamless, with drawings and newspaper cut outs filling in the gaps, this is the standard for the music documentary now, allows you to be fully immersed in their world at the time, so you never pull away and see them as they are now...mostly the same, but less pale. When Noel talks about phoning home to ask about Liam being in a band and there's the, or a moment captured where Noel's brother is like; 'mam! Noel is on the phone'....with some footage of Noel talking on the other end, that's one of cinema's highlights this year. It is good, I just don't get Oasis. 7 tho ! Oasis were the Status Quo of the 1990's, but with bowl 'ead Mancunian haircuts and louder amps i subconsciously sort of frown & judge folks who like(d) them, cos there was so much better music around @ the time plus never forgiven the cunt for this:
  3. and of course the eloquence of: SOA was a guilty pleasure for a couple of series, but my god did it ware thin to the point where any scene with Jax (sp?) and his missus was instant f>>forward

  7. The Conversation is fuckin immense Bridging the paranoid & electro-acoustic madness of pastoral strangeness is The Shout (with Alan Bates) wish there were more contemporary releases that could capture the moods of those above The Conformist incorporates themes of paranoia but is different again....the interior building shots frame the soul-less architectures brilliantly

  11. is it over yet? are the Oath Keepers tooled up and out for blood yet? c'mon Merka, you can do it
  12. surely worse the hypocrisy & narcissism are blown up to cartoon proportions with Trump, not just playing to the gallery & his constant "look how much i got" bs with the election itself timing is a factor, its seems voter apathy has rebounded since a decade or more ago, similarly here where Britain had voter turn outs of 35%ish at one point, fast-forward to Brexit & a huge currency tumble not that these contexts are 100% translatable the world is a freak show, the Russian fleet just sailed down the Channel & whoever wins in the US is gonna exploit their global hegemony safe
