Going to see Blade Runner 2049 tonight.

I'm going on Sunday. My hype is sky high.

Off to see the new Brade Runner tonight, can't wait. Although I'm up to my eyeballs in manflu which won't be fun.

In other movie news, I watched The Guard last night, an Irish "low-budget" film ($6m) starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, playing an Irish cop and an FBI agent respectively. It's brutal, strangely hilarious and oddly moving all at the same time.

Thoroughly recommended.

I would love to see the new Blade Runner, but my 3 month daughter disagrees. I hope in one month or so she'll be a bit less fussy so i can leave her with her grandmother....but since this is a 3 hour movie, I doubt it.

It is very much a movie to experience in the theatre, right?

Another yes from me. Saw it on Thursday on a 'superscreen', and really appreciated the scope. Also thought it was bloody great, super screen or no.

The Lego Ninjago Movie is okay.

Some genuinely funny parts, and some other bits of silliness that made me smile, but it didn't seem to hang together quite as well as the first Lego movie (to my shame I haven't seen the Batman one).

Also, having watched all of the Ninjago series with the child, it was weird how different this was from that, despite them throwing in a few references and nods for those who know the source material better.

Stay tuned for my next cinema update, likely to be about My Little Pony!

Is it anywhere near as good as The Lego Movie or The Lego Batman Movie?

I don't know what a Ninjago is.

I'm happy to report to you all that I didn't much care for the new Blade Runner.

James Bond Spectre is pretty dull. It seems to lack any atmosphere.

Looks like a cool remake of Empire Strikes Back.

I think I'll wait for the blu-ray of Blade Runner

That won't do it justice. It really needs to be seen on the biggest screen you can find with the best sound system.

Whilst I accept the cinema can be the best way to experience certain films I think a decent home setup can come pretty close, all you need is a fairly sizable screen, a proper 5:1 or 7:1 sound system, and a comfy couch. (I've got a 5:1 sound system that I bought with my original XBox360 some ten years ago that's still doing sterling service.)

Plus bonus points for the home arrangement are:

1) None of the great unwashed eating crisps or fucking about on their phones or generally being a pain in the arsehole.
2) The ability to pause if a comfort break is required, or getting a drink, or suchlike.
3) You can replay a bit if you missed what happened or some dialogue.
4) Other things I can't think of right now.
5) Also the cinema is quite expensive if you go regularly.
6) You don't have to travel to the cinema and like, park up and stuff, if you're just sat on your own couch.
7) You can eat reasonably priced popcorn and other snacks in your own house.
8 ) The sound can be a bit too loud in modern cinemas.
9) Sometimes you may have to travel through undesirable areas to get to the cinema.
10) You can have subtitles when you're watching a film in your own house.

Get a decent telly scrubber kid.
