I think that it is on Netflix. I bought it a while ago but hadn't got around to watching it.

I couldn't stand the "actors" doing their "acting". That guy is SOOOO fake it really rankles with me. Terrible actor. I hated him in that other film he got props for, where all the folk are racist robots or somesuch.

Luka Modric
Yeah I got through that one just about. A bit silly, but I got through it.

I thought it was nice. Obviously, owes a big debt to Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn. I love the scenery

Loved it. Best film I have seen in ages and I'm not a fan of the lead actor. Very good movie.
Watch Florida I think it is called. Movie shot on mobile phones about people living in a hotel near the theme parks. Amazing movie.

The Florida Project?

That's it.
Watch it mate. Amazing, sad at times but the way the hotel manager looked out for them was cute. Just an amazing movie and maybe the best I have seen in the last ten years.

It was on my list but had forgotten about it. I will definitely check it, it sounds right up my street.
Have you seen Leave No Trace?

No I have not seen it. What is it about? I think we have similar tastes in movies. Independent movies with a good story are my thing.

A father and daughter are living in the woods outside Oregon. They are discovered and forced into sheltered housing. Then do a runner.
There's more to it than that but I don't want to spoil it.
Beautiful countryside. Really strong performances from the leads.

Just watched the film Orgazmo on prime, by the South Park team. Bloody silly but very funny.

Will give it a go. Sounds my sort of thing. Believe it or not but thanks to the wife I watch foreign movies as well.

Got round to watching The Social Dilemma tonight (Netflix).
Some areas of my work touches on this so I've taken more than a passing interest before.
It doesn't require too higher level of thinking to have the presence of mind to realise this is going on, this is the deal. I agree with Tristan Harris this is basically human downgrading in action. It works on so many levels and pushes all the buttons that basically make human beings vulnerable/consumed/distracted/addicted/anxious/extreme etc etc. It's a good watch, none of it really debatable (imo) and it's the biggest stored up issue, alongside our abuse of the world, we face.

I just watched The Platform. It was OK. Very Spanish. An allegory of society wherein upper levels look down on lower levels i.e. similar plot to the awful train film Ice Puncher or Hole Breaker or whatever... Snow Piercer. Or the film a couple of years ago with a block of flats. Very very gory.

High Rise was awful, shame as the book is brilliant and should be very easy to adapt.

I watched 'Honey Boy' over the weekend. one of the better films i have caught lately. Great acting all round from the main characters. Obviously to get the tone, feeling, atmosphere right is helped when its virtually a biopic of the lead actor.

I also watched Code 8 which is a predictable, generic Robocop meets X-Men thing where mutants try to co-exist with humans but blah blah decide to do a bank job to make money to pay debts and save the world blah blah. Meh.
I also watched Support the Girls which is pretty boring, some women run a Hooters style bar but nothing really happens, don't bother.
I also watched Spy because my wife wanted to watch it. It is a spoof of James Bond starring Jude Law and that fat US comedienne. Had grave reservations but I actually laughed a few times, it was a lot better than expected. Rubbish but fine.
All Netflix.
