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.
Why the Brody hate ?
He’s no Shia Le boof
Why the cato hate.
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 but on that scale he’s no Shia Le boof who thankfully hasn’t been seen lately
I can't quite believe we are comparing the texture of two turds based in their smell..

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.

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.
A Real Pain
Lived up to its title
Like both actors, hated the movie
Lasted 30 mins - my cut off/turn offSubstance
An excellent premise
Good for most of the movie, poor ending
Cronenburg liteAnora
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 -

Cronenburg lite50 minutes in - WTF movie is Dennis Quaid in?

I didn't think alot of Substance, Quaids character was awful, as I expect he was meant to be.

Amulet. 2020
I'm a bit of a sucker for British horror movies and this was recommended to me. Written and Directed by Romola Garai and with Imelda Stauntion and looked interesting
A complete, utter crock of shit. How the fuck it gets 4.9 on IMDB is beyond me.

Roger Moore sounded like a bloody good rooster in interviews.
Really nice guy too by all accounts.

Took the Mrs to 'Wicked'. Just awful from what I saw. To be fair I slept through the 2nd half so maybe it picked up, who knows.
Maybe you're not the target demographic. I took Ms CF Jr and thought it was pretty good

Yeah, he used to live in a big house near us (long before we moved to the area) and knew everyone nearby. Our neighbour used to garden for him and she said he was a genuinely kind, grounded bloke. Absolutely hated people being rude to others, apparently

Watched a few of Moores bond films over the Xmas break. Very nostalgic for me as I grew up watching his as a kid. Campy as fuck and as they went on it was disturbing to see him get old but the girls he made out with stay young…
Apparently that was one of the big reasons why he stopped playing Bond.
Felt wrong having love interests in their 20s etc while he was old enough to be their dad… -

Horrific pile of steaming turds. Avoid at all costs.

Appreciate the heads up although I think this might have put me off too…..
‘A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket inside the building - along with 12-foot Great White Sharks’
Jaws still holds up to this day as an absolute classic, it’s funny how much shit it helped to inspire, including most of the sequels in its own franchise !
Hard to go past this one either……
