The Mire. Polish. Quite good. I am told that Detective Forst is very popular too.

The Fundamentals of Caring, not bad.
I've heard the other seasons of True Detective weren't as good as season 1. Still might check out the current because Jodie Foster is in it.

Damsel
Damsel in distress turns dragon taming girlboss caper.
Not bad, not good.

They Cloned Tyrone
Rather Good, very good. Very funny. Good to see John Boyega’s career taking off stateside.

The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti in a Paul Giamatti role and a formulaic and mostly predictable plot. Still, it was good.

I enjoyed it, sure it was channeling many other similar films about rich kids at excluding boarding schools, but the acting was good.
Watched The Program, a documentary series about kids abused and traumatised in so called troubled teen schools, mostly run by evangelical fucknuts

I loved the Holdovers, partly because it’s so predictable, so classic. It’s like a warm hug of a film, something familiar out of the 70s or 80s. And Giamatti as an irascible pissed off grumpy bloke just works so well, particularly when it’s written by Alexander Payne. Sideways might have been 100 years ago, but that formula also still works.

Finally watched Marcel The Shell, a year late. Very whimsical, very charming, very inventive. Lovely.

Baby Driver, not bad provided you can suspend your disbelief.

I quite like that. All the female characters were awfully written (which is par for the course in Hollywood) but I still rather enjoyed it.

Poor Things. Quite good although a bit up its own arse.

I enjoyed both those films. Poor Things was wonderfully designed. It did have a few too many scenes of furious jumping when it was, er, hammering the already stated and obvious.

Yes, it looked very good. Pretty funny at times too- mostly her odd and blunt use of language, although "She grabbed my hairy business!" might have been the funniest.

Went to see Walt Disney on Ice. Quite dissapointing, turns out to be just the old guy in a freezer.

Strawberry Mansion. Pretty weird but I liked it. At least it was different.
Speaking of watching things, who did you think was the funniest of the Monty Python troupe?
I would say Graham Chapman.

Probably John Cleese based on Fawlty Towers and his films.
