Anyone seen Blinded By The Light?

Not yet.

Reviews are mixed.

Being a big Springsteen fan I'll give it a lash when it hits Amazon.

He's on the Graham Norton Show tonight along with Robert Di Nero.

What is all these reactions to the Joker about; uncomfortable viewing etc. Surely its nowhere near half as bad as a lot of other films/tv shows.

It's different. Hard to explain without giving a lot of the story away.

People are complaining it's not a true reflection of mental illness and glorifies violence etc. Etc.

It's a f**king comic book film if you're looking for a real depiction of mental illness watch a documentary!!!

Seen some negative reviews about El Camino. I thought it was excellent.

Do you need to have remembered BB Clar?

I watched BB (Loved it) but it's been a while!

Camino on its own is ok. BB nostalgia makes it seem better.

Is this a follow up or spin off or what?

Best way to describe it would be as a closure to the Jesse pinkman story, it follows him after the final episode of BB. I must say I enjoyed it. Was a bit thrown by Todd being so fat in it, looked up pics of him from BB and he was about 4 stone heavier lol. But his character was brilliant, really creepy guy, the bit where he's singing in the car is classic BB.

Funny, the singing bit in the car really caught my attention too. Decent film.

Just back from seeing the Irishman, hands down the best film I've seen in a long long time, so gripping and some unreal performances, de Niro should never make another film and just go out with that as his last film, it was a master class, the film has everything's it's funny, it's gripping, it's sad, it has it all. The film is like 3 1/2 hours but I seen it in Dublin road and literally 2or3 people left their seats the whole film. Ya couldn't take your eyes off it. My advice is, go see it In The cinema, yoh need the big screen to do it justice, just a fantastic film and has to sweep the boards for awards. Perfection genuine 10/10

Simulcast with premiere last night at Dublin Road Movie House.

Jaysus, is that a new thing? I'm aware of midnight openings for blockbusters like the avengers etc but simulcasting a premiere is a new one to me.

Dire Ear · October 14, 2019, 09:20:51 AM

Joker, 3/10, very disappointed father and son coming outta that

Dunno, hadn't heard of it before, was a 20 min thing before the film of interviews with the main people on the red carpet etc, was def worth it to see it early.
