Bigbug
French comedy set in a future where humans are dependent on robot. A group of people get trapped inside a house when their domestic robots lock them in for their own safety after a bunch of psycho robots take over the world. Amusing easy watching on Netflix.

The Batman 8/10
My only complaint was it's a little too long. It was nice to finally see another superhero film without quippy jokes every minute.

Wish I knew it was streaming though, had someone talking behind me the whole movie. I really love the cinema but I think I'm done going for a while unless it's for really late showings that have no people in them.

Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (Netflix)

Well, feck.

I'm not British, so I haven't really known who he actually was. I mean the Jim'll fix it show, his charity stunts and so on. I also had no idea how he had so many friends in the high places. The knighthood, being mates with Thatcher, princess Diana, prince Charles, police officers and inspectors, being honored by the Pope, everybody loved him, being national treasure, etc.

All I knew was the ''recent news''. I bet many of the BBC executives and many others knew about this all along. Jimmy had been doing all this from the early 50's and to think he actually got away with it, living a full life, makes it even worse.

have heard it said that he was into necrophilia and satanism too, but that side of the story was supressed.
i honestly believe the establishment is full of sick people who protect each other.

It's very similar to the Hollywood #metoo movement.

Basically someone high up in the business with a huge level of wealth/power/status gets up to all sorts of dodgy shit. It's known about but completely suppressed because 'Person X does a lot for charity, has a high status etc. etc.' John Lydon's famous interview where he mentions JS is a good example.

People are reluctant to come forward because they won't be believed, or they simply don't want to - Weinstein being a prime example, based on his power, the victims decided their careers were more important. Look at previous Oscars where people made jokes about Weinstein and everyone just laughed.

Eventually there's an 'Emperor's new clothes' moment, or enough people do come forward that it reaches critical mass and can no longer be suppressed. Then it's about Holywood, the Beeb, etc. etc. trying to cover their own arse.

I'm sure there's no end of stuff we haven't heard of because it hasn't / has never reached critical mass

Joker 9/10

Absolutely compelling movie. The part was well within Phoenix's capabilities by the looks, probably why his performance as good as it was.
A very interesting take on the back story of this particular baddie, the mental illness and personality disorder angle was absolutely spot on, a brilliant character development.
I put off seeing this one too long.

The Batman - 4/10

Complete and utter bore fest. I like slow burners but this takes that to a new level.

[King29]

Morbius, a solid 9/10. Not as bad as the so called critics made it out to be.

Oceans 8
Loved it.

That HBO Gotti movie.
Didn't do much for me. I think it may be because it had such a high standard to live up to within the genre. Reading the book, "Gotti: The Rise and Fall" was better.
I would like to see an accurate portrayal of Roy DeMeo's story, but think it would be too brutal for modern sensibilities.
I understand that Michael Franzese might have a project about to materialise, but it might be a tv series rather than a movie, so I probably won't get to see it.

Maverick 9/10

If, like me, you were growing up and watched the first one and loved it. Then you will love this one. There is enough sentiment to get a little grit in your eye, enough nods to the first movie but some fantastic scenes. At one point the you could hear the whole cinema inhale and hold their breath, then exhale at the same time. Any movie that can do that to everyone in there, that gets my vote!

Teflon-Mike:I think I agree with just about all Pinky has said.

[Keithy]

Can’t argue with ^^ that. The film sorts out his personal life, doesn’t actually finger point at any specific ‘baddie’, resolves the ‘Goose’ situation and he dicks about on a ninja H2 with full protection (Ray-Ban aviators)

What’s not to like?
