I don't really care if that film is good or not. I'm going to see it because it was shot on 65mm.

I can usually find something good about a film - costumes, sets, make-up.  The costumes were okay, and since it was shot on site and used the train for sets, no biggie there.

Yep.  At home I'll give a film a 10 - 15 minute chance, then it's off with it's head if it doesn't interest me.

Actually I'd meant the cringing, craven, slobbering nugget of coagulated sperm, not you.

I have to say though. 'Off with it's head' is a turn of phrase that rather suits you for some reason. It...fits. If that makes sense.

Frost/Nixon

Also worth seeing:

Ghostbusters (female version)
Thirteen Days (the White House activity during the Cuban missle crisis)
Hidden Figures

Are yeh fook QV. We've already got a compulsive onanist film bigot here :P

(question, if queens are  wankers, do they daintily lift their little finger in the air during, and is there even such a thing as received pronunciation for 'ooooaaagggnnnhhhhuuhhhhhhhhh' :autism:

(well a bigot in general but with film-bigotry as sub-specialist branch of his bigotry)

"Film bigot" is just about the silliest thing I've read today.

Guessing you don't know what the word "bigot" means, then. Here's hint: Look in the mirror.

That's for me to know and you not to find out.

'film bigot' was spoken in jest, never intended to be particularly serious. Not even a much of a dig at you even. A half-hearted quip about the pickiness with film-stock. I'm about as serious as I'd be if I called myself a 'glassware bigot' for preferring 24/40 joint tapers and male-female cone and socket joints rather than using ball and socket glassware (which is what it sounds like, the joints are more moveable, like a hip joint, rather than a plug fitting a tube. Never used the latter)

QV-I just had, before, a momentary, rather unwelcome mental image of the prim, proper queen elizabeth II being, well, less than prim and proper, whilst maintaining a comical attempt to appear so. I think I'm going to need some industrial
brain bleach, although it was, somewhat amusing. Mentally fucked up but hilarious. Sort of, like what you might expect if you were to walk in on Cthulhu on the dunny wiping his arse. With 'hello kitty' imprint bog roll.
But it was

Whatever. It's still just about the stupidest thing I've read today.
