Movies

Yep, I picked up the first one at a second-hand bookshop a while back and have just started reading it.

I too have the Robert Ludlum books and look forward to reading them.

The Second Bourne film was the best. Was that the Supremacy? The Third was alright. The others after that were pants... i believe they might be trying to make another one which really is hard on that dead horse....

Chicago: Ideas man.

Very much this. I can't add much to that assessment. Has to be dark with the humour fighting through the cracks

Why is one of them black?

Typical Tory. The correct question is why so many of them are white.

UK vs US edition? I know mine look different depending on where I got them.

My one small beacon of hope for Waititi Dredd is he occasionally can show some darkness (the key deaths/loss in Wilderpeople, Next Goal Wins and Jojo Rabbit).
Also, considering Star Wars fell through for him and the ephemeral nature of Hollywood it’s very early days yet.

And, thankfully, Akira.

The first third of book one scans with the movie but after that it's a very different story, great read though.

Not sure this is something I ought to admit to... but I just had to Google Judge Dredd.

Aren't you literally Judge Death?

Chicago: Trying to avoid you.

I watched Sinners last night, big Dusk til Dawn vibes and some great music, recommended.

I actually thought it was a crib of Crossroads (the Ralph macchio film not the Britney Spears one) but just with Vampires instead of the Devil.

It was an odd film but I didn't hate it.

I think Ryan Coogler nicks a few ideas off other films. For example as good as Creed was, it really was a remake of Rocky.....with Rocky...

Chicago: Crib Artist.

So… art?

Creed’s got boxing in it but otherwise has very little in common with Rocky. Except Rocky.

This is on Netflix. Significantly better than it's IMDB rating. A familiar trope but well delivered. www.imdb.com/title/tt5315210/?ref_=ext_shr

The Ballad of Wallis Island is a lovely little film. Sweet, poignant. Funny in places.

Typically twee in a British Kind of way. I really found it heartwarming. The Island looked ace too. Wish I could live there....

Chicago: Going Soft.
