Apologies, I was talking about May December.

No worries! Crosswires happen all the time online. I just learned that May December's a Netflix film and I get to watch it this weekend. Not so bad

[Devon Malcolm]

May December is awesome btw. Saw it yesterday. The only other person in the screening was an old woman and she walked out after 15 minutes when she realised what it was about.

I can't be the only one expecting Anton Rodgers in this surely?

Shadow? Cinema is back, baby.

I enjoyed Mad Max Fury Road and Anya Taylor-Joy is a good actress, so this should be worth watching when it comes out next year.

[Devon Malcolm]

Ahh god how do I resist watching this trailer ffs.

Looks bloody ace. Looking forward to seeing Chris Hemsworth as an absolute maniac.

Next year we have this, Dune 2 and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes all coming out around the same time. Wonderful.

One does not 'enjoy' Mad Max Fury Road, one lives it and gets one's head blown the fuck off.

Rewatched 'The Killer' after enjoying it first time in the cinema. Second time it's even funnier. It might be moving up to top tier Fincher

That shot of them running side by side is awful.

GodZZZilla: King of the Alberts is a gimp who's been proven to have trouble putting away big butterflies clean. I can't believe they're wasting Kong in trying to carry him again.

Only wake me if Cloverfield turns up for a proper showdown.

Sadly, Silent Night is going straight to streaming over here on December 23rd as it crapped out at the US box office.

[SuperBacon]

Yeah I* got it wrong with May/December as well. Dunno what's going on with it.

Erm, to make up for it, enjoy arguing over the Sight & Sound top 50

and this absolutely wonderful piece on High Fidelity, which as you can imagine, I enjoyed very much.

I never understand these Sight & Sound lists because they always include stuff (Poor Things, for example) that aren't even out here until the next year.

That said, Past Lives at #3 is well deserved, it's bloody wonderful.
