I watched "Pleasure" last night. It's a gritty deep-dive into the modern porn industry. It pulls no punches and has some terrific acting. Some scenes are quite brutal. Good film.

Forrest Gump. I got it in a charity shop. I'd never seen it.
Very funny little quirky bits. The table tennis action is excellent!
Obviously, it's very schmaltzy but Hanks is so likeable with his strange accent and the support is first rate. His girlfriend is a pain but I remember those hippy types tended to be!

Saw it in the cinema. The war scenes, hearing bullets behind you, stays with me as Very impressive cinema. Scope of the story is wonderful at times. A great film.

My gf and I watched it thinking it would be a film with loads of sex, turns out it was quite grim. Killed the mood

Where the Crawdads Sing. Enjoyed it. Beautiful cinematography and excellent performance (again) from the lovely Daisy Edgar Jones. Yet another from the conveyor belt of talented young British actors

Bought Quatermas in the pit, still enjoyed it thoroughly and still shocking in parts, Hammer at its best I thought and the stunning Barbara Shelley to boot.

Went to see the new Adam Driver film '65'.

It's dogshit. Really bad. Half the film left on the cutting room floor I fear.

Ever seen the old black and white TV series? The series is brilliant, for its time it must of been quote something

Why didn't you just watch a porno

Mad Max
Didn't like it at all, just terrible. Had some well done vehicle stunts, but that's it. This really was a slog to get through, I was counting down the minutes until it was over. It didn't have a single character worth caring about, and a bunch of the dialogue seemed badly dubbed. Frankenstein from 1931 had better sounding dialogue than this. I intended to watch the entire trilogy, but I might just call it quits after this one. Just not my kind of film I guess. A bit of a surprise really, as I loved Fury Road. 3/10

Currently watching the original 1958 version of The Blob, it’s one of my all time favourite B movies with some of the best effects for the time period that hold up a lot better than most CGI movies these days. It’s on my bucket list to head out to Pennsylvania one year to do Blobfest, a convention held in and around the actual cinema used in the film

Yeah I have the boxset, but not sure if I'll watch 2 and 3 after this.

I like the baddie and the ending and the cop sergeant in 1. It sets the scene for why Max deteriorates.
Two is a must, you know the universe now, and you can throw parallels at it till the dingo's come home.
I'm a sucker for Tina Turner, so for me three is golden, from the song to the face offs to the manic train siege and another kick ass ending.
Obvs, you've seen 4. Miller has an eye for detail and grime, and loves real life stunts. None of the films explore the nicer sides of humanity and consumption. If you've bought em, you might as well watch em. Why 4 before the rest? and so why jump to one and have it possibly taint the series? Also, and forgive my incessant nosiness if you can, you've hit the hammer horrors recently like I hit pastry at the cream cake buffet - it's a mighty jump to 80's mad max from there, pray tell why?

For some reason, my first reading of 'gf' then seriously concerned me when i'd made it through the rest of your post...

Luther: The Fallen Sun

5/10

Too long. Too outlandish. Too grand scale. CGI was wank. Casting wasn’t great. Antagonist was pants. Far too many plot holes and “you must be joking” moments. Skip.

I'd give it 0.5/10. Garbage.

Watched 'Song for a raggy boy' earlier. True story about an Irish school for bad boys. Truly harrowing.
