Have seen both BlacKkKlansman and Black 47 recently. Both excellent and well worth seeing.

Watching the Life of Brian - again. There's so many jokes that are referenced daily. A masterpiece.

I wonder would it be funny to kids now??

Not that you're old Benny but the film was even old when I came across it and loved it I wonder is funny just funny and would kids nowadays appreciate it.

At the time it was nearly ground breaking in taking on the church.

The leper bit with Palin is my favourite part!!

I doubt it would be you know. I'd say they'd have pretty much heard every joke in it - but in a ripped off context.

I preferred The Holy Grail when I was younger too. Totally played it to death but, must have a look for it too, been a while.

I tried Life of Brian for the wains a couple of months ago but couldn't get through it as the missus made me turn it off at the Pilate Biggus Dickus part!

Anyone seen Black KkKlansman, gonna go at weekend
I'll definitely view it when it becomes available to me. There is a precedent for a black klansman, wasn't it Richard Prior & Gene Wilder (aka The Frisco Kid) in Blazing Saddles?

That would be the Waco Kid!

Likewise, had heard great reports, was kinda waiting on a big show stopping end to the film but def failed to deliver, kinda watched the end and was just meh

Venom 6.5/10

Very surprised this wasn't better. Hardy does not give one of his typical performances, his accent (for me) was terrible. The story was ok. It definitely did not feel like a Marvel movie, more like a DC movie. It did not stay true to the comic book story and there's no plans I would imagine to integrate this character in to the current marvel universe on the big screen.

It was also shorter than most block busters. I think about 1hr 40 mins. Not that that should dictate the success or failure of a movie but i remarked on it as we left.

I would wait to watch it on blu ray....
