Spoiler: Psycho

So far 4 people have gone there. I think that's a little excessive.

are you watching the original version or another one?

Original. I had to go out for a bit and just put it back on in case you're wondering why it's so long.

Must watch it again

Spoiler

the way i remember it, Marion Crane is the only guest, and the only other people who visit, after her 'disappearance', are the private detective, her sister and her boyfriend, all looking for Marion

What an amazing film. Highly recommended. A++.

Using spoiler tags for a very famous, 60 year old film seems a little bit OTT.

Spoiler: Plot

I didn't even know there was a twist! And what a twist.

 

[Orang Utan]

That's what I meant.

then you've got your answer.
People keep showing up cos Marion's gone missing! Not cos they want to visit a creepy motel.

A quick google tells me at least 40 have died in the Bates Motel.

not in the film. maybe in other manifestations, such as the tv series Bates Motel

That's exactly what I said.

irrelevant to what we were talking about though.

It's pretty much murder central at the motel. Halfway through the last series.

Spoiler

Rihanna as Marion Crane was an interesting choice

 

[Supine]

American Factory

Follows an American factory being setup by the Chinese and subsequent clash of cultures, unions etc. Fascinating.

I’ve been watching El ministerio del tiempo (the Ministry of Time), a fun, lightweight Spanish time travel romp.

It's a great TV show

I watched most of Gone Girl last night, it's pretty awful.

Oh I don't know, I'm finding it amusing but then I'm easily pleased sometimes.

I watched Mother last night. I'm glad I waited for a good long time after the hype and I loved it! It does get very OTT towards the end but I thought the first half was brilliant and overall, it was very entertaining.

That was a good one to watch at a cinema not having read anything about it, oof.

 

[Pickman's model]

the quality of subtitles on netflix is dire. i've been watching 'better than us', which is in russian, and there's a character variously described in the subtitles as jeanna and zhana. the subtitles on 'six flying dragons' have led to some amusement, with a group of nasty people being described as scums. why can't they just take the lines from the screenplay and translate them rather than doing as they do and chucking it through some sub-google translate nonsense.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Prime subs fuck me off. They often fall behind, or jump ahead. Lots of prime films don't even have subs, including new films.

I watch everything with subs cos I'm a bit mutton.

Yeah prime subs barely exist.

I have them on because the sound effects are usually louder than voices so unless you turn it right up you can't hear the plot.

There were lots of horrified people when I saw it at the cinema. I thought the last bit was hilarious -- pretty sure it was meant to be funny, given the utter OTTness.

 

[rutabowa]

it was def hilarious

 

[Red Sky]

Kind of why I'm not overly fussed about it.

Everyone dies, the Skeksis rule until the events of the film, story over.

I may not have the right mindset for prequels.

That's what so brilliant about it. Futile resistance in the face of inevitable planetary death brought about by unnecessary trust in an obviously cruel and alien ruling class. There's a moral in there somewhere I'm sure.

 

[not-bono-ever]

rewatched Blade Runner 2049 this week- it makes more sense and there are more knowing nods to the original than i saw first time around

 

[Steel Icarus]

Adding my thumbs up to those who have already recommended The Dawn Wall. Extremely compelling documentary about two guys trying to climb a virtually impossible route up the El Capitan mountain in Yosemite.

I watched most of Gone Girl last night, it's pretty awful.

Really? We really enjoyed Gone Girl. The first time we watched it we had just bought new speakers and the already great soundtrack sounded amazing!

We have watched The Mind Explained tonight which are 20 mini docs on various subjects. Fairly interesting.
