Use the Firefox web browser instead of Chrome or Edge.

Then search for an addon app called uBlock Origin and install it. Simples!



So it's worth a watch?

It’s superb. It’s almost like the good old days of YouTube before the biggest advertising company in the world bought them out. On the other hand, Mozilla Firefox is a non-profit company.

I didn’t even consider watching content on other platforms. I should really make more use of it.
 
Poor Things was brilliant I thought, defo worth a watch. Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo are incredible in it. Saw Priscilla as well, for me, if you like Sofia Coppola you'll like it but if you don't like her films it will be full of a lot of the same things that will annoy you. Jacob Ellordi is boss as Elvis though.

Calibre (Netflix)

Two lads go for a hunting weekend in a remote village in rural Scotland but come a cropper with their shooting and subsequent decision making. Low budget but really well shot, tense, well acted and though this kind of thing is laden with tropes it deals with them well enough.

Nice to see this kind of thing where it doesn't go full on League Of Gentlemen and instead has the locals being well written realistic characters with understandable motives.

------------

Bloodsport (again)

Low budget and absolutely full of bad acting and tropes. Pure awesomeness though.

Saw Calibre about a year or so ago, really good. Proper agonisingly spirals in a great way.

I saw Bloodsport for the first time on the weekend, it's terrible, however I could happily watch that film once a week for the rest of my life. The fighting, the 1D characters, the montages - PURE CINEMA
 

Determined to watch lots of films this year so wanna doc them here to keep track / encourage me to keep going.

So far this year:
  • Elvis - crap, lots of drivel, me girlfriend had me in tears also when she said Tom Hanks has been done up like Goldmember
  • Bloodsport - Awful but amazing, the first of many JCVD films, Time Cop is up next!
  • Wings of desire - interesting
  • May-December - Great performances and visuals, worth reading up the story behind it also
  • Poor Things - Boss, everyone in it is giving great performances, mad how they de-sexualise a film full of nudity and sex, ends up being a quirky coming of age
  • Priscilla - Two leads are really good, really puts you in Priscilla's head as she ages from a schoolgirl to the grown woman that leaves Elvis. Great soundtrack like most Sofia Coppola films but lots of meandering
  • Oldboy - Heavy salad
  • Pearl - My favourite film of the year so far, defo watch X first before this if it looks up your street. Mia Goth, though she seems like a complete loonball, gives one of the best performances I've ever seen in a film. Can't wait for Maxxxine.
  • Where the crawdads sing - Haven't read the book but based off the film alone, was a decent watch
  • Saltburn - Despite his jarg Prescot accent, Barry Keoghan is amazing in this film as are Ellordi, Pike and Mulligan. Boss soundtrack, love how 2006 is basically a period piece, a proper spiral defo watch even if the press around it has put you off

….downloaded ‘Wizard of Oz’ for the granddaughters and they love it but if ever a film was waiting for a more modern version it's that one. Surprised nobody has done it.

Think it's too iconic to mess with. Besides the whole going from sepia into colour doesn't work in a modern context. Lot's of David Lynch is Oz inspired though.
 

One I forgot about was Missing. A follow up to this film called Searching, where this Dad is trying to find his daughter via social media. Basically 99 % of both films are like screen-captures of phones / laptops. There are some unbelievably contrived bits and characters are very unlikable, but what I will say is on Missing that the story does have a good few twists in the 2nd half. A good one to sit down and make fun of imo.
