It’s a hundred years old, which in terms of art conservation is nothing at all, but it’s been well and truly shat upon. And this is one of the classics! Good luck finding lesser-known films from early cinema.

Attempting to introduce the child to Buster Keaton only to find that the only version of The General on MUBI or Amazon is a horrible colourised version with added sound effects. BLEUGH.

Fincher a massively superior filmmaker to Tarantino, so curious to see how this turns out.

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007) is such a random pile of actors. Pfeiffer, Rudd, Saoirse Ronan, Jon Lovitz, Graham Norton, David Mitchell … Olivia Colman is basically an extra. Did I dream this movie?
