The writing part is a talent; everything else is just being spawny enough to have a job where you get paid to watch enough films that you can say "that scene references a Polish horror film from 1963".

 

Mark Kermode was spot-on about the relevance of film critics when he pointed out that Sex in the City 2 made an absolute fortune.

 

Passengers?

They've got seven backpacks, each with seven cats, each with seven kittens. How many legs are on the bus?

People who lack talent always say that.

 

 

Yes, imbeciles who understand what logarithms are.

 

T’be fair, the previous explanation shows a scale from zero to four, which means it can’t be a logarithmic scale because logarithms are undefined at 0. Logarithmic functions deal with exponential relationships, and since log(0) is undefined, you can’t use 0 as part of the range in a logarithmic scale. Barry Norman says no.

 

If you were using a linear scale from one to four, you could argue the midpoint is 2.5 by averaging the highest and lowest values. However, based on the original range including 0, the actual midpoint is 2.

If the scale were logarithmic, the base would have to be something like 1.52 to make 2.5 the midpoint between 1 and 4, and that would totally warp the rest of the scale. For instance, the difference between 2 and 3 would shrink significantly, making the rating system incoherent.

 

Just saying. Sorry to have interrupted our usual transmission for this emergency broadcast.

You’ve clearly never even been to St Ives.

That right there. Narcissism.

 

So me saying you're doing ratings wrong is narcissism, but you saying that I'm doing ratings wrong isn't?

I quite like that there's no uniform scoring method in this thread.

if the rest of you followed my example and started doing reviews right

The Dry. Eric Bana.

It was shit.

[Lurtz]

A remake and a sequel. Very much looking forward to both for, sadly, no reason at all.

 

Salem's Lot - Fucking shite.

 

If you're going to remake a great like that at least make the effort to make it half decent.

 

 

Alien Romulus - Fucking shite.

 

With the exception of a couple of callbacks and a cgi Ian Holm this could have been any low budget sci-fi filmed in an old factory made to look like a spaceship. Load of wank. 

[Mook]

A Killer's Memory.

 

Michael Keaton directs & stars in this Amazon Prime effort about a hitman who suffers from dementia. I like Michael Keaton so probably liked this more than I would have if someone else was in the lead role. Worth a watch but probably not one for a ages. 6.5/10

[Red Banjo]

BeetleJuice, Beetlejuice.

 

Nostalgia kicks aside, a bit weak. Ended up a bit bored but passes the time easily enough. Amusing the way they did everything to avoid putting the noncey dad in it.

 

0.6/1 in new money or 6/10 in old school scoring.

I've saved you the disappointment. Watch Strange Darling instead. Great film.

The Substance

 

Demi Moore births Margaret Qualley and shit goes down.

 

Starts really well, degenerates into sheer lunacy.

 

6/10

I thought it was alright. I do agree it could have been any old sci-fi, it was certainly better than a number of the previous instalments. Felt the xenomorph definitely played 2nd fiddle to the monster at the end.
 

5ish / 10 for me.

Yea, needed more water. 2/7

Aussie films all seem the same to me, apart from the ones that are different.

Too much outback for me. Very slow and won't be watching Dry 2.
