Just watched Barry Lyndon. I've only seen The Shining and 2001 by Kubrick before so was looking forward to this one and I'm always a sucker for period pieces. Also had a very solid moral philosophy (don't trust the Irish menace, they only lie). Felt a bit slow in parts but over all I really really liked it. Feels like it actually uses its three hour runtime to tell the full story of a guy's life instead of feeling like a 90 minute movie stretched into a 2.5 hour one. I would have one tapped Bullingdon no problem though

Watched Infernal Affairs and it has a way more interesting ending/overall message than the Departed.

Infernal Affairs is great, I never checked out the two sequels because they seemed like cash-ins rather than a planned trilogy. Tony Leung ftmfw

Watched a bunch of stuff on holidays.

The Godfather: it’s over three hours and starts with an elaborate wedding scene so you know it owns. Brando ftmfw

The Prestige: Decent enough but I’d had the major plot twists spoiled years ago which definitely deflated it a bit. Also think having the actual cloning machine kind of undermined the really good parts of the film to me.

Edge of Tomorrow: finally got around to watching my 4K disc of it. Film still whips so much rear end

Emma: I love Jane Austen adaptations and this was another excellent one. Regency era romance ftw

Watched Confess, Fletch last night when I was looking for something short and light after thread recommendation. Decent little pulpy mystery, love films like this. The pay off with the van was neat. Really reminded me of the Hugh Laurie book The Gun Seller

Went to the cinema to see Across the Spider-Verse today. It's incredibly good and as good if not better than the first one. The animation I feel is somehow a massive jump forward again over the original. Incredibly excited to see the second part. Miles ftw

my girlfriend watched half the movie with me and is quoting the bits she liked, which is a 5 star review from her because i put it on while she was likely reading porn on her phone

lolling imagining her immediately googling "confess, fletch ao3"
