    Somebody making a horror film starring Sydney Sweeney as a pregnant nun knowing I can’t possibly recommend watching it to my girlfriend without her knowing what’s up feels like a massive elaborate shithousing against ME!

    As long as you're not looking out for the side-on shots, you should be fine.

  2. Road House (Prime)

    A great time! About as stupidly enjoyable as could reasonably be expected of this. Gyllenhaal superb in the lead, three of the world's most beautiful faces for the lads (Jessica Williams, Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen), and, I'm sad to report, Conor McGregor is very funny. I'll have another, thanks.

    No. It was flippant comment about one specific scenario, not all of wrestling. 

    Even if it was about all of wrestling, surely micro analysing everything as opposed to just watching it, enjoying at and not overthinking it is the more shallow and boring of those two scenarios? Maybe I've been watching it all wrong these past 30 years plus, I dunno.

     

    Nobody was micro-analysing anything. @LaGoosh asked a simple question, he wasn't asking for a thesis or anything. Nobody's advocating a deep-dive on all aspects of wrestling either. It's a wrestling messageboard, we're here to discuss and analyse wrestling. Or most of us are.

  4. Media companies will use reverse searches to find places that are using their content without taking it from the original source. They can then use statistics of it being used in other places and show them to potential advertisers. Even if they have snipped off or erased the watermark, doesn't make a difference, nobody should use clips from The Sun. And Starmer shouldn't be doing interviews with them after claiming he never would. He wouldn't want to be seen to be a completely untrustworthy lying cunt now, would he.

  5. Drive-Away Dolls (cinema)

    Harmless. It doesn't all work and it overreaches at the end but I laughed a good few times and the cast were excellent. We should be making more daft 80 minute films, not discouraging them.

    Red Right Hand

    Orlando Bloom has a go at a DTV actioner and fares alright. It might have helped if there was more action in it, but that's not his fault. A disappointment from the guys who directed the really good Fatman. Features an Andie MacDowell performance that is amazingly bad even by her terrible standards.

    Blood Simple (Mubi)

    Watched in tribute to M. Emmet Walsh. Probably his greatest role and performance, definitely one of the greatest neo-noirs of all time. *That* scene is still one of the most horrible I've ever seen.

    The Bravados and The Deadly Companions (Great! Movies)

    A couple of old and extremely underrated westerns, the latter being Sam Peckinpah's debut. Absolute musts for western fans.

    Edge of Darkness (1945) (Talking Pictures TV)

    Excellent WW2 propaganda film, impressively bleak and extremely violent for its time, with a very solid Errol Flynn performance. The lad could act!

    Chained (2012)

    Offbeat serial killer thriller with an awesome Vincent D'Onofrio performance in the lead. The ending is disastrous, sadly, but the rest of it is very good and unpleasant.

    The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (Mubi)

    Awesome Mexican black comedy about a taxidermist who has a 'troubled' relationship with his wife. Really comes into its own in the final third, but very funny throughout and loads of fun.

    The Queen of Black Magic (1981) (YouTube)

    Not the shitty recent remake but the original Indonesian horror film. Absolutely mental stuff, incredibly gory with a cracking story. Loved this.
