I did a double bill with 'The Plague Dogs' once and I got so sad I couldn't speak.

Pleased to meet you James. I've been signed up to Bluesky for ages but only really made the leap today.

Let's hope it's a place full of fascinating and joyful stuff.

Tremendous film! Absolutely worth a rewatch!

The Malcolm McDowell film?

It's great yet awful yet brilliant.

I'll subscribe and keep an ear out for both.

That's really interesting. I think it's quite a well regarded film (bit I could be wrong).

I haven't seen it in years but recall it being a very watchable movie peppered with interesting eccentricities.

What's the podcast? I'll have a listen when it comes out.

You are bang on correct. It's a film to be judged on its own merits (like all films obvs) and I think it would have been better without it's fan service nods.

In fact I thought that the film's low point was Bill Murray (who is brilliant in lots of things).

TOTALLY.

I think the availability of the technology is far less exciting than good film trickery.

The whole scene from Indiana"s POV would have been a clever option. Or someone recalling what happened and just remembering a man with a whip and a hat etc....

I enjoyed it! But I'd have been happier without the de-ageing in the first 20 minutes. There was a way of telling that prelude story without having Indiana Jones rock a slightly outsized digital face.

Yep yep. The Highlander can be forgiven for many of its minor crimes (mainly against accents).

And I don't think it needs to be pilloried for the numerous sequels to a film that said pretty clearly "There can be only one!"

I've never heard of that, thanks!
November 19, 2024 at 9:46 PM
Absolutely!

Thanks fella!
