On the topic of snacks, I ate an ice cream before TZOI started then had popcorn throughout. Popcorn has become so connected to the movie experience for me that I find it hard to not have it when I go, especially if I haven't been for ages like recently.

I think I'm a conscientious eater though, I stop when it's quiet scenes and I'll never eat anything out of a crinkly packet. Those people can get in the bin. Have definitely told people to ease up on the crinkling before. I love how shocked some people are to be told off because they somehow don't think everyone can hear the noise they make. One dude then moved over 2 seats so he could finish the packet like that would help. Luckily it was just during Killers of the Flower Moon and so was no great loss.

The one time I wondered if I should stop my snacking was during that scene in Triangle of Sadness. Didn't stop me though.

Was similar with the Killers chip guy. Was a pretty empty IMAX screening. Could have moved way further away.

Those BFI IMAX seats are brutal btw, my knees still have flashbacks to GTOG3

I've spotted a film about a guy who killed Hitler assigned to hunt Bigfoot.....it stars yer man with the big moustache* who I like and I'm intrigued. Has anyone watched this?

*edit: Sam Elliot.

Didn't realise Godzilla x Kong was due out end of this month. Pleased.

I’m not up to date with the MonsterVerse as I’ve only got into monster films after watching Godzilla Minus Ones so I’m going to have to blast through those before the new one comes out.

Just a post to say maybe Poor Things isn't a movie that she can have on while you play Vita and glance up every half hour or so at. Wtf.

Yep fair play it's pretty epic, no idea how you can do something like that

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (Short, 2023) - This is a bit of a piss-take really - a Wes Anderson-directed reading of a Roald Dahl story by big-name actors with as lavish a production style as possible and clearly produced to just barely fit within the eligibility criteria for the Best Short Film Oscar in terms of length, to the point that half the time the actors are rushing their lines and they are slightly hard to follow. It just feels like cheating really and I don’t even think it’s as good as Invincible - it just feels like it won the Oscar because of the big names and big money, which is sad. Still, it’s entertaining. ★★★★☆

Saw a list of Best Picture winners ranked by box office and have immediately become fascinated with the film that ranked dead last, Cimarron (1931), a Western that has had such a severe critical reappraisal that is it now rated Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. I will do a masochism and report back.

The sound is so rough I can’t understand it without subtitles, so that’s a good start.

Don't you dare touch that piece of art!

Wondering how much earlier I could've extended my lease (and how much cheaper it would have been) if I hadn't bought 20 dvds every month for years...

It’s mesmerising

I like how it gets more chaotic the further up it goes.
