The Silver Fern

Great match, great commentary

That is class

In preparation for the 19 June release of 28 Years Later I visited the cinema for the first time in ages to see 28 Days Later, followed by a discussion and Q&A from a couple of comedians and horror film makers here in Cardiff

28 Days Later (2002) ⭐ 7.5 | Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi

1h 53m | R

Hasn't aged a day and is still as impactful as when I first saw it on screen

Along with films like Snatch and First Blood it's one that I've watched more times than I can remember and one which I can't skip past if it's on TV

Way ahead of its time in terms of story and filming, almost prescient

London scenes were very POV and 'citizen journalism' esque

The drive to Manchester was eerily reminiscent of my drive from Scotland back home to mid-Wales on the M6 passing Manchester the day before the UK went in to Lockdown

Had forgotten that Naomie Harris' character Selena's weapon of choice was a sword

Blatant rip off from writers Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore to 'create' the character of Michonne for The Walking Dead - released a year later

Sat through the credits and found it interesting that the lab scene was filmed in Germany

The Nazis had done similar chemical interventions during the Second World War to increase stamina and 'rage' in their soldiers

If you don't want to sit through the movie, then this is a great summary

The soundtrack was brilliantly effective in the cinema though

Got home and immediately jumped in to the sequel 28 Weeks Later which I hadn't revisited until now and which I'd forgotten most of

28 Weeks Later (2007) ⭐ 6.9 | Horror, Sci-Fi

1h 39m | R

Not as good as 'Days' but still a very enjoyable watch

Here's the recap from the same guy

28 Day Later
4.5 Hellos out of 5 Hellos

28 Weeks later
3.5 runaways out of 5 run aways

Based on the trailer, 28 Years Later looks to be a return to form and one which should be seen on the big screen

There's lots in the trailer. Avoid if you want to go in blind

Don’t forget Norm Berryman

Yes please

Be afraid, be very afraid

So many great tunes that stand the test of time

Rest In Peace

Forgotten how bloody fast he actually was. Howlett-like.

Yeah not so sure about that. He did play in the pre professional era where everyone was an amateur and wouldn't have known a weight bench or sprint program if they tripped over it.

Howlett had some freakish 100 metre stats.

Maybe everyone else was just much slower.

Gareth Edwards' fastest recorded 100-yard dash time was 10.57 seconds, achieved on August 24, 1973.

He also achieved a 100-meter time of 12.6 seconds in the European Heat 5 of Superstars in 1976.

Many faster than Gareth.

Including Stu Wilson by the sounds of things.

Exactly
