@madmonday:

what was your take away from Gleason @den1mhead?
with your background I'm interested.
watched a 2015 film named Anesthesia a little heavy handed in some parts but it was a good what's the meaning of life type of film.

@madmonday - My take on Gleason; Gleason is the story of a dysfunctional relationship between a boy and his father where the boys need for love, approval, acceptance, praise, recognition etc are not consistently being met by the father, if at all. This leads the boy to become self sufficient, relying less and less on his father, and striving to be the best he can where, through his success, he receives all that he wanted from his father but now from his adoring colleagues & fans. His wife then effectively meets his needs going forward, through his retirement from the game, post ALS diagnosis and the birth of their son. However, whilst his disease is progressing the increasing needs of his young son are leaving his wife less available for Gleason. Gleason then dives into fund raising which, for a time, meets his needs for  love, approval, acceptance, praise, recognition etc until he realises these fund raising activities are affecting his relationships with his wife and son. Finally realising this he pull back from fund raising and re-focuses his love and attention on his wife and kid.

You beat me to it @Filthy25ozJunkie.

I assume that you've seen the Last Supper short that was published last week?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yes. I totally thought that girl wasn't choking.  ???

I went and saw Get Out on Saturday night, really enjoyed it.
Expected it to be a bit more scary, but it really wasn't.

Everybody that thought that Wolverine should not be PG-13 for the last 17 years should go and see Logan in cinema.

Finally they did it right. Damn, I'll have to see it a second time.

I've recently watched ''Rogue One'' and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked how well they squeezed the story in between Episode III & IV. Needless to say it was far better than the cringy Episode VII disappointment.

If anyone wants to see how the ending of Rogue One fits into the start of Star Wars, then take a look at this. Needless to say, spoilers are involved.

Like @Dion, I preferred Rogue One to Episode VII.

I'm a bit concerned that Star Wars is going to get overexposed, and too corporate, in the same way that Marvel has been. But, weirdly, I'm looking forward to the Han Solo movie, if only because Lord and Miller have a history of making unappealing prospects awesome.

[Dion]

Agreed! The Star Wars universe is so vast they could easily release several movies per year - which would kill it immediately.

As a sidenote: anyone remember the two Ewoks movies? I actually liked them (as a kid).

I was on a plane for 9 hours yesterday and managed to watch 8 episodes of Narcos series 2….....

[JDelage]

For those into science fiction I recommend you take a look at the series The Expanse. It's very good.

[Seul]

Narcos S02: still good!..
The Expanse: been on the list for a while now… But first... Justified season six... Again... And again... Cause we dug coal together...

From the guy who brought you the excellent "What We Do in the Shadows" and "Hunt for the Wilder People"…

Good use of Led Zeppelin, and a "Guardians of the Galaxy" vibe.
