    Thats a good fun flick.

    Apparently Clint got frustrated with Richard Burton constantly being pissed on set.

    Every time I saw it I hoped Frank Sinatra would make the train at the end but he never did my first memory of a hero dying in a movie if I remember rightly.

    Great, ruined it now and I'm only ten minutes in.

    Yeah sorry, even with a movie over 60 years old I shoulda chucked a spoiler alert.

    So I thought I'd get an early start on my watching of all the Oscar best picture nominations this past week.

    A Real Pain: Jesse Eisenberg directed movie about two cousins, him and the Culkin from succession who travel to Poland to see where their grandmother, who survived the holocaust was from. Culkin will win best supporting actor. In the end this didn't get nominated for best picture.

    Conclave: A movie about choosing a new pope. Better than it sounds on paper. Good performances, a bit of a mystery storyline, not really pro or anti Catholicism.

    I've only seen two of the nominations so far this year and there's some I wouldn't have watched otherwise - Wicked and the other musical (I don't like film musicals but like theatre0, The Brutalist as it stars Adrien Brody whose screen presence I really dislike., and annoyed I didn't see Substance when it was at the cinemas as I'm not really a horror guy.

    Yes. Brody annoys the shit out of me too. His mafia caricature in Peaky Blinders was like watching a 6 year old straight after they’d seen The Godfather for the first time.

    He's no @Nepia

    Anyway regardless of that, I thought I'd explained things when I said HE ANNOYS THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

    Yeah, I already didn't like him but kind of tolerated him before that, but that is up there with the worst acting I've ever seen. I've seen more convincing performances in community theatre.

    A Real Pain
    Lived up to its title
    Like both actors, hated the movie
    Lasted 30 mins - my cut off/turn off

    Substance
    An excellent premise
    Good for most of the movie, poor ending
    Cronenburg lite

    Anora
    Best of the three I’ve seen. By a mile
    One minute Woody Allen farce, the next the intensity of Uncut Gems - exhausting, frustrating, can’t look away
