      Any of you watch The Endless? I think it's a Netflix film but i've been reading good reviews. Curious if it's as good as the reviews say or if it's all hype.

      Yep, it's worth watching. I don't think it's Netflix though, at least in terms of the initial production. Sci-fi time-travel (not your typical time travel but I don't want to give anything away) film with cult elements. As far as unusual time travel plots go, I think it's been covered here, but "Primer" is a winner.

      Good to know. I'll keep an eye out for it should it ever get a dvd release.

      And yes, Primer is a classic. I haven't seen Upstream Color yet though. Is that any good?

        Damn! I was waiting so long for that that I forgot about it. No idea, but adding to the list.

        Think it, be it.

          Watched Free Solo this past weekend.  Absolutely unbelievable documentary.  If you haven't heard of it it's about a rock climber who climbs the largest vertical rock face on earth (El Capitan)…..  Without ropes.

            ^ Thanks to your recommendation BnT we watched Free Solo again last night after watching it in the cinema in Bath in December. I've been following Alex Honnold since 2012 when I was indoor climbing in Bristol and saw him climb Half Dome in the First Ascent documentary by National Geographic. He is a climbing legend and a real character. Outside of climbing he really is like an adult child. Awesome documentary about an awesome guy [emoji122]

              Exactly, he does have a childlike innocence and almost a sense of wonder, particularly when you meet him in person, though he does carry a level of consciousness not typically seen in children. I love what he is doing with his charity to get solar power into the hands of park rangers in various African preserves, for example. Important work that helps them battle poachers. A good person who deserves every bit of the success that he has dedicated his life to, and someone who gives back.

              Think it, be it.

                Just watched «You were never really here». Best film I’ve seen in a long, long time. A beautiful film about some ugly stuff. Deeply uncomfortable to watch at times but so lovely as well.

                    Very good film. We really enjoyed it. If I had to sum up the type and feeling of films I really enjoy, this would be it.

                      I would never suggest to do something illegal as to download movies, but rips out now of THE FAVOURITE and SPIDER-MAN INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE.

                      And yes: I gave Chris a bollocking for recommending it, but I am watching it nevertheless

                        We enjoyed Alita a couple weekends ago. A surprising amount of crushed heads for a PG13 movie.

                        I thought they did a great job blending CGI with live action. A lot of times the CGI characters look like Gumby when they interact with their live counterparts.

                        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                          Does anyone remember the Italian film Gomorrah from 2008 ?

                          Well if you do I have a recommendation called DOGMAN (2018) Italian movie with English subtitles

                          @Stuart.T I think this is one for you

                          Quality viewing imo

                              I watched BLACKkKLANSMAN first yesterday. Absolutely awesome. Of course the underlying message is infuriating and bleak - you will know you watched a Spike Lee feat.

                              Watching THE FAVOURITE now. I'm so fucking stoked Olivia got the Oscar… She was my... favourite.

                                Loved Blackkklansman, though my take on it wasn't that it was especially bleak, perhaps because I've had to be around actual klansmen in the past and perhaps because, living in America, I think we're still in pretty bad shape as it pertains to race relations.

                                Mild SPOILERS AHEAD

                                There was a lot of comic relief, and the klansmen were pretty comedically wrought as characters–it was hard to take any of them too seriously. And I expected there to be much more racism in the police department than there was. It was good to see Stallworth make some close and genuine friends among his team at the PD, and there was really only one asshole there, and the PD "did the right thing" in working that sting to bring down that asshole. I may be prejudiced in thinking that the Colorado Springs PD of the era was probably rendered charitably.

                                The film could have told this story in a much darker, bleaker way than it did, and that pleasantly surprised me and made it a bit easier to watch, while still carrying the message effectively.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    I said the underlying message was bleak. The movie is a boatload of fun. The kick in the stomach Lee gives you at the end isn't.

                                        I don't think that's what Lee was going for. The tribute to Heyer "rest in power" to end it is to me a message of resistance and hope, not one of hopelessness and despair. But to each his own.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          It was very clear that his message was that David Duke got what he wanted, as it was mentioned early in the movie: someone to execute extreme-right ideologies in the White House in the form of Trump.

                                            Isn't that already painfully obvious?

                                            One unsettling thing I didn't notice, perhaps because it didn't happen.

                                            Major spoiler below in white font (select to see it)

                                            Was Flip the Klansman they zoomed in on at the cross burning at the end of the film, before the epilogue? This doesn't make much sense to me since Stallworth outed himself to Duke with Flip standing right there but a lot of people seem to believe this to be the case.

                                            Think it, be it.
