Watched a film called Beats the other night, Scottish. Actually though it was quite good, surely one of you cats have seen it.

Watched this on Friday - utter shite

Aye, one of my favourites from last year.

It's really good

Is that about the jakey that sometimes posts on TalkHearts?

Where can you watch it?

Truffaut's movies are a bit more focused on the narrative and you'd maybe enjoy them more  - Jules et Jim and Les Quatres Cents Coups are his best IMO, worth checking out if you enjoyed the style enough to watch more.

Ahh, I like a bit of style but that might grow old fast for me, depends on the mood I guess.  Tried Bande a Part (Band of Outsiders) but couldn't get the subs to sync so had to abandon it.  On L'Avventura right now but not happy that the smouldering bitch looks of Anna has disappeared!    Still Vitti isn't a bad substitute.

I'll check thse other suggestions out too.

Last Christmas : watched that over the weekend as well. Knew what was happening so early on it was ridiculous : 

Christmas films already well under way here, one film a night up until Christmas with some utter classics in the line up, watched some shockers as well mind you : 

Santa Clause tonight :

Aventurra is pish

Underwater. Starring Vincent Cassel. In the same vein as Deep Star Six and Leviathan. Quite enjoyed it. 6/10.

My mates brother wrote Beats I think AP will probably know him as well,
it started as a one man show in the festival.

Breathless pozzy for Pondlife.

Just watched the chicago 7, thought it was pretty good, would definitely recommend. Also good to go and do a it more reading off the back of it. I had heard of some of the figures, and that era, but it was really outrageous what went on, and touched on some of the black panther stuff, like the killing of Fred Hampton as well, bobby seale is there

Did he used to stay in aberdeen? Memories of someone telling me he used to go to the pelican/hotel metro back in the day.

A biographical look at your life?

1917 - bit disappointed tbh

Ze Germans having stormtrooper aim and missing cunts from point blank range repeatedly just took me right out of it. Obviously looked amazing and had some good performances, but I expected more from it.

Watched Beats based on the recommendations on here, certainly wasn't disappointed.

Geralds game

Weekend of kinky shagging when the husband handcuffs his mrs to the bed. Then has a heart attack and dies on top of her, leaving her to try and survive on the bed

Not bad tbf but not the best either

Tenet.

Mesrine part 1

Watched this film ages ago and forgot all about it. Pretty good.
