What film did you watch last night?

[Gwylan]

Hank Williams bio film.

The Crazies. Seen it before but watching it again now. I do like virus/plague horrors and this one is pretty good. The thing that most surprises me is, in a town of 1500 people, they have a main Street as wide as some city centers, fully stocked with every type of shop going and a sports field where the whole town watches the game. An equivalently populated town near me has one post office that shuts at 2pm 🤪

I watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix. Very enjoyable.

We wanted to love it as big fans of the book, but I felt it was a bit rushed and missed out far too much content from the book.

I think books are nearly always better. I might read the series at some point.

Well worth it, they’re lovely books

Small town America is very like that though.

Also, which version?

Flight risk.
On Netflix, iirc. Mark Whalberg was disturbing.

Welcome to small town America.
Very, very different to small town UK.

I didn't know there was more than one version? I watched the 2010 one. I quite liked the ending, and think there's a sequel in the cinema now or coming soon

False Flag
Former special forces, CIA analyst is volunteered to assist very dodgy false flag operation.
Maintains interest and tension despite the purposely flat, emotionless style. Lots of beige interiors.

Yep, the original is from 1973 by George A. Romero, not his best, but still well worth a watch.

Not an option as not on netflix

Cinema ?

 

[biggs682]

Cinema ?

Yes once it gets released or wait until on terrestrial tv

 

[Dogtrousers]

I watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix. Very enjoyable.

We also watched that this w/e. Very much enjoyed it. A bit mudsomer murders-y but none the worse for that. Sometimes you fancy an alternative to The Gritty Detective With A Troubled Home Life.

Btw does theatre have a place in this thread? Doesn't seem to have its own thread. I went to see The Pitchfork Disney at the weekend. I actually saw this at the Bush when it was first performed, and caused a bit of a stir. Still as powerful and weird as ever.

Wag the Dog (again)
One of the few films I can re-watch (after a reasonable interval). Brilliant at so many levels.
