    It does pull you in doesn't it? Maybe we should start a new thread about Favourite box sets?

    Ah Stolly - Previously from me on here: I thought Uncut Gems was a very striking film. Engaging, disturbing and memorable.

    The Daily Tel. film critic has now decided it was the top film of 2020:

    "masterpiece
    "exploding neutron bomb of nervous energy
    "performance of his life
    "a hair-raising, daisy-chain of life-or-death predicaments

    Well yes, but as I previously said here.

    I went to see Wonder Woman 1984. I found it formulaic, too long, hackneyed and saccharine. The kids said it was "alright".

    I'm interested that the critics seem unwilling to wade in and say how rubbish it is. Is that because they're feeling sympathetic to a film industry on its knees. Or am I a grumpy old man, and actually it's not that bad.

    Graham, stop watching all that arty stuff, and help provide some perspective here.

    That sort of film needs to gross $100 million dollars just not to lose money and you don't get that many bums on seats by imitating Michelangelo Antonioni, but you might by aiming for a mental age of 9.

    I have no idea which critics you read but all crtics have to be careful not to bite the industry hand that feeds them. Rather like all the cycling commentators who stayed oddly quiet about Lance Armstrong.

    Not every film I see is in Spanish with subtitles (although Pedro Almodovar's are) and one example that is not is Love & Friendship * which I saw immediately on release in a cinema (naturally), because I was interested in the work of Whit Stillman, and which I thought was so absolutely wonderful that I bought the DVD and I bought Stillman's book.

    I think if someone asked me to marry them I would first ask if they liked Love & Friendship because if not, then I would have to break another heart.

    But having said that: I don't wish to raise your hopes.

    I had the utter misfortune to watch Heartbreak Ridge by Clint Eastwood recently, on the recommendation that it was great.

    Absolutely terrible.
