Well, it's just become available in HD so I may watch it tonight....:eek:

Eddie Redmayne was superb in the lead role and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately it was let down for me by Lashana Lynch's character who's chasing him. Her character was deeply unsympathetic, arrogant and annoying and I don't think her role was well written at all. A lot of her decisions end up...

I know what you mean but I think that scene works so well because it's left to the imagination to fill in the blanks. It's a beautiful ending to a beautiful film and I'll have to watch it again soon. The same with 'Her'. He was. Affleck is someone I rate more as a director than an actor but...

So, I've tried searching for the latest news regarding this election crime bureau report and found very little, certainly nothing about millions of votes being switched or evidence for that...

Spy/political/conspiracy thrillers are all genres that I enjoy when they're done right and like you, the one genre I don't go for in the main with film is comedy although I do love a decent comedy drama (The Holdovers) and there are exceptions (Groundhog Day). Knives out works on many levels and...

A place to talk about the big screen. Fave films, fave genres etc etc...

It is? Who knew... That was a handy feature.

It was a pleasant surprise for me, much of the comedy at first stems around the uptight mayor of the place who wants to downplay the rumours until he has no choice but to realize that strange things are going on...and the acting is stellar.

It's more 'folk horror' but it may not be for you so I don't want to feel as though I'm pressuring you to watch it! :D

I knew I'd missed one out - Dept Q! I've only just finished watching that recently too and looking forward to next season - superb! I would honestly give Widow's Bay a watch. I was reticent at first because a blend of comedy/horror isn't generally my thing but in this case it just works so...

They totally were, sorely missed.

Yes, there were several great posters and all of the ones you mention warranted respect and we were both good friends with Selaphiel, Kmo and SoJ. I hope they're doing well.

Some notable series that I've thoroughly enjoyed over the last ten or so years: 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Quite simply one of the best, thought provoking and innovative sci-fi shows to have ever been aired. 𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐰'𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐲: Only just finished this and a deftly handled mix of atmospheric horror and comedy. 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰...

Karl Rove has chimed in and made some pretty salient points... "𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐫. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐦. 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐫. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫...

Okay, I'll just pick up on this bit. Dude, I've been on this forum for twenty years, from back in its heyday, when I could go to work in the morning and by lunchtime there'd be forty plus threads bumped with all sorts of lively discussions going on. During that time, I've had many invigorating...
