Speaking of podcasts, anyone recommend any good movie ones?
I have seen the 3rd one, Bill and Ted Face the Music (it can be found). Its a updated cross between the 1st 2 and so much fun. Usually these movies are dire but i am very happy to have seen it and will rewatch many times like the first 2. Death is a highlight. 7/10Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
This isn't an 80s binge despite the Weird Science mention above but I'm guessing that I wasn't alone when I was reminded of a third Bill and Ted and thought ..... eh...... maybe ..... ok ......?
But if I was going to watch the third one in the cinemas I was dragging the kids along to it... and so we watched the first one tonight.
And it was surprisingly good.
I remembered it as a dumb 90s movie (the fact it was actually 89 is just another tick in its favour). And sure it's still not high art but everything about it is just a little better than you'd have expected, the main characters nail it, the side charaters are great (George Carlin as Rufus, Billy the Kid, Socrates, Napoleon, Bill's dad...) the writing, the time travel tie ins, none of it is mind blowing but it all just works and it has aged a lot less than I was expecting. Even the CGI and future scenes hold up better than I would have thought.
We'll watch Bogus Journey next week which should be cool as I love Death and then we'll decide on the third one.
if your not a MelbournianIt can be found at your local cinema.
Can still be found there but like CartmanLand - it’s there but you can’t come in.if your not a Melbournian
Watched a sort of depressing southern triple header last night.
The devil all the time - a bunch of pretty irredeemably bad men doing pretty awful sh*t to a bunch of women in and around backwater town in Ohio. Interesting themes, right pacing and great performances (Jason Clarke, Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Robert Pattinson, Sebastian Stan) make this a good watch 7.5/10
1922 - Thomas Jane plays a simple Nebraska farmer who decides to murder his wife to keep his farm (that’s not a spoiler, it’s the catalyst for the events of the film). Creepy and pretty violent. 7/10
Mudbound - Jason Mitchell and Garett Hedlund play soldiers returning to rural Mississippi post WW2. Race and class war ensues along with a woven tapestry of other stories (centrally Carey Mulligan and Jason Clarke’s pretty loveless marriage and Jonathon Banks raging racism hard on). Honestly this was a tough watch for a host of reasons. The narration and pacing don’t entirely work for me but great performances save it 7/10
Only one of those is the south, assuming you meant US geography.
I listen to Roger Deakin's podcast on Spotify. He has a few interviews with other cinematographers, and episodes where they talk about technical aspects of film making. Has had Denis Villeneuve, Coen Brothers, Jake Gyllenhall come on too.
I haven’t listened to this. Deakins is a treasure. There was this wonderful Roundtable thingo with a bunch of very serious dps around it discussing film and the host brought up film v digital. The table is very serious and they get to deakins and he says “I don’t give a fu**. I’ll film on an iPhone. Who cares”. He has a wonderful website with a forum where he often logs in and answers questions about his work etc.
He has an excellent approach to his work.
Seen all the old Star Wars on the big screen in the last month. Last time i watched them was on VHS in the 90s. So good!
JEDI next week to complete the original trilogy. Kudos to the cinemas showing the old classics.
Saw Ghostbusters and Back to the Future on the big screen in previous months....... ahh the 80s.............................. so much better than i remembered at the drive-in
