Watching The Avengers (1998) for the first time in years. Loved it when I saw it. And then I did something. Still love it. It's the dialogue

I've got The Avengers (1998) novelisation arriving next week. Heading into research mode. Unloved and overhated.

Happy Yates-Giving, Everyone!!!

On this week’s holiday episode, Brian & @crobertcargill.bsky.social sit down to chew on a Robert Redford heist film that’s a hidden gem in every sense of the word: THE HOT ROCK!

We’d be so thankful for a RskT!

Just remember. Outside war, most of everything is just 'made up'. Everything is salvageable. Unfortunately, everything will require personal sacrifice. So, we're fucked.

One Battle After Another (PT Anderson, 2025). I've watched this 5 times now. It's a perfect film. It's starting to feel like a top 10 film of all time. Also starting to believe that it's not going to sweep the Oscars (even though it should). Doesn't matter if it's remembered.

Saw Bob from One Battle after another at Stockport (UK) Halloween Foodie Friday. He looks okay. Don't worry.

Watched two Bill Crain movies. Mostly due to @elrickane.bsky.social on @purecinemapod.bsky.social. Mirage (Bill Crain, 1990) and Midnight Fear (Bill Crain, 1991). Both are absolute bangers with endings you don't see coming. Btw. You can watch Mirage on a YouTube rip. But Midnight Fear is on Prime.

One Battle After Another (P.T. Anderson, 2025). This is the film Leo should get an Oscar for. This is going to sweep if there's any justice in the universe. It's also a masterpiece, which helps.

Elementary- up to season 4, episode 2. It's hit my top 10 shows of all time. It's like a TV show was purposely designed for me. Also, it knows how to do Stan Lee's illusion of change perfectly. Brilliant writing. I will come back with a final review after I'm finished.

Elementary season 1 (various, 2012). Ignored this because I thought it would be a poor copy of the BBC show. It's better. Its true mishap is that we'd forgotten that mainstream American networks could still do an X-Files style version of Sherlock Holmes in the peak TV era. An undiscovered gem.
September 10, 2025 at 7:18 PM
The reason that Elementary isn't considered one of the best shows of all time is because it's network show. And I'm still in season 1. How every cat 6 never didn't get an Emmy, I will never understand.

The best movie podcast currently available has returned- Secret Handshake Podcast for the record. If you like movies. And podcasts. I recommend.

Wolf Guy: Enraged Lychantrope (Yamaguchi, 1975). Pure exploitation movie making. And still trying to make karate a thing that could compete with kung-fu, which it can't, visually. This said. Watch this Gonzo insanity immediately.
August 21, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Oceans Eleven (Soderbergh, 2001). Absolute stylish, Swiss watch-level perfection.
August 20, 2025 at 7:39 PM
Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (McQuarrie, 2025). I know of the complaints about the opening but I just can't help but admire it's propulsive energy. Still love it. Bloody great.
August 20, 2025 at 7:38 PM
The Big Fix (Kagan, 1978). Heard about via the Tarantino interview on the Church of Tarantino podcast (@churchofqtpod.bsky.social). It can't decide whether it wants to be a light hearted caper or a gritty 1970s PI film- which the score suitably obliges. It's still wildly entertaining though.
August 20, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Eddington (Aster, 2025). Had the same issues with this as with weapons. Simply don't buy the third act. A rewatch may fix this that said. It's still great but just didn't love it.
August 20, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Weapons (Cregger, 2025). Can't really criticise without spoilers. Nails the atmosphere, character work wonderfully. I just don't buy the third act. I'm usually quite allergic to this sort of stuff. Almost gets away with it. Will still watch whatever he does next.
August 20, 2025 at 7:24 PM
Alien: Earth (Hawley & various, 2025). Best Alien since Alien 3. Brilliantly constructed, phenomenally acted and of you're wondering where the budget went: it's all on screen. Can't truly comment until it's completed the session but bloody hell it's great.
August 13, 2025 at 7:35 PM
Billy Jack (Laughlin, 1971). Am absolute ego-trip of a movie. Absolutely bonkers save-the-rec-centre movie that one minute is a hapkido fight and the next it's a Montesori school lesson. Can't decide whether violence is the answer or not. Weird as hell and great with some beers on a Summer's night
