Shimmering barrier one, yes.

Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury have been doing great soundtracks for years, this does them a disservice.

I’m aware of that, yeah. I looked Salisbury up afterwards. It doesn't change my experience of watching/listening though. My first impressions stand.

It’s a pass from me

Cinema workers must be sick of Marvel movies and their bloody post credit scenes. And so am I. Saw Spiderman today. I always stay for the end despite it never being worth it. Today's two cinema workers stood at the back of the theatre prepped and ready to go with their cleaning kits waiting for the 6 nerds to watch the pointless scene 10 mins after the film ended.

Don't care what anyone says I still love this movie. Hyped for the new one now.

I always watched the credits anyway, so post credits scenes make me look like I'm not weird.

And kinda funny criticism because of all the end credits scenes the ones after Spiderman FFH have been the most story heavy ones.

I just saw The Beach Bum at MIFF. New harmony Korine. I kind of feel like I have an idea of what he was going for but it did not work for me. It's a bit of a mess and a little slap dash feeling.

That's true but I'm still sick of sitting there until the very end (I know no-one is forcing me to do this). Was a great relief in Endgame being able to get the fuck out of there as soon as it was done.

I do this too unless the film has irritated me because I consider the soundtrack over the credits to be an integral part of a well made film and it provides time to disengage from the narrative before returning to the real world, plus out of general respect to the filmmakers. Occasionally, there is the extra reward of unexpected (or increasingly expected) extra scenes...

Yossarian

Do you actually read them?

g.man

I do.

How else are you supposed to know the names of every person you need to send a telegram to in order to tell them how shite their film was?

Diluted Dante

I do. I like finding funny names. It's always good to see Yolanda Squatpump is getting work.

This is what I do too. We are bad people.

Plus there are often interesing things to spot when they are acknowledging locations and thanking people.

Was feeling the need to see Cruise having a crisis of confidence then saving the world from aliens (not the hispanic kind).

I'm pretty confident it's been confirmed that Kenny Loggins is doing a rework of the music for the new one

Pffft, obviously faked names. Next time you're trying to make up people, don't do it while looking at a map of Ye Olde Englande.

I saw Chris Morris' new film The Day Shall Come. I didn't really like it that much. Seemed to be aiming for a quicker paced satire like an Iannucci but I don't think he quite has the chops for it.

Howdy, Stranger!
