Great shout Woodsy.

Pop goes NI should be curriculum here and across the water for context. I hand on heart appear frequently from 95 to 2000. As a bystander of course.

@COYBL25 try it mate. Maybe seen it before even?

@Woolverhampton_Blue watch this but it is heavy stuff.

Agree with it being on the curriculum, by the way. Kids need to see what it was like.

Armagh in general ?

I'll keep an eye out for Armagh in general then ??

To keep on thread. Belfast the film portrays an internal sectarian conflict. Locals at war over religion and the army were there to keep the peace amongst the natives at war.

British colonialism reason d’etre was to rule through division. Turn the country on itself and let them fight themselves rather than find common ground and fight the oppressor.

Well I’ve started now so I may well crack on. Tsunami of official enquiries now finding collusion between British Military intelligence and Loyalist murderers in 30 State authorised murders in Belfast alone.

And Van Morrison @davek

As if there ever was any doubt.

Talk Radio (1988)

Absolutely incredible film with a towering performance from Eric Bogosian as an embittered, acerbic, brilliant radio talk show host who battles nightly with an assortment of weirdo increasingly unhinged crank callers to his popular late night show.

Oliver Stone keeps it tight in bis direction and let his actors go loose.

One of those that if you haven't already seen, you gotta do so before you die.

Not surprised at all.

I hadn’t planned on watching it mate but you have peaked my interest.

Thank you ?

French Dispatch finally. The usual impeccable acting, soundtrack & cinematography but wasn’t the strongest storyline. I’m a massive Wes fan but likely wouldn’t watch if again.

Texas chainsaw massacre (2022) on Netflix.

Mess of a movie, with (I think, deliberately) really unlikable main characters. A strange ‘50 years later character’ trying to do a Halloween reboot thing, but it goes nowhere, and a weird social media / zoomer gag which unwittingly turns it into a comedy.

Lots of well done gore, but a movie which was 80 minutes long, but managed to feel a lot longer.

Finally watched the original Purge last night. Easily made my top 10 worst films of all time.

Truly shocking from start to finish.

Sounds like Pete Price`s phone in on Radio City, except the callers are the sane ones.

I always liked this film - back then, Stone was a prolific director and I always thought this one got lost in the shadow of Wall Street, which was a big hit for him. A bit like how his Salvador (maybe his best film) got kind of overlooked by being released in the same year as Platoon.

On a side note, I was surprised when Eric Bogosian turned up in Uncut Gems - I hadn't seen him in anything for years.

Ale house singer.

He'll end up sitting in a wheelie bin, sick down his jacket and his kecks soiled with piss screaming about vaccinations.

I must put my hand up and admit I enjoyed this - although I went in with zero expectations. While I didn't like what they did with the Sally Hardesty character (awful performance, too), I thought the gore was good value, and I liked the short running time. In the whole messy and confused franchise, I think it's better than the 3D one and the Jessica Biel one, so it's not the worst in the series. I also thought it was way better than the last Halloween.
