I have no nostalgia over Blade Runner at all. I can’t even remember the original that much other than Harrison Ford is in it. I’d better watch it The Final cut again to remind me if I even liked it.

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?

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 love The Guard. The interaction between the two of them is pitch perfect but I also really love Mark Strong's weary criminal fucked off with the idiots he has to work with.

I watched The Guard after seeing loads of good chat about it on here and it was alright but not as good as everyone said. What is an incredible film is Calvary, which is by the same director and also stars Brendan Gleeson which I suspect you'll also really like if you enjoyed the Guard.

I rewatched The Guard last weekend when my chum was over as he wanted to see it, and I was happy to watch it again.

After my original watch I wasn't sure if it was 'better' than Calvary or not (definitely different though).

viewtopic.php?p=950685#p950685

After the rewatch I'd say Calvary is the better film, it's a far heftier piece of work.

The Guard is great though.

Another vote from me for Mark Strong's world-weary henchman. He's a great actor. Very good in Grimsby as well. Or anything he's in, come to think of it.

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.

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

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!

So, you don't need to be up to date with Ninjago to see the movie?

This is good news.

I would actually like to see it at the cinema, I just don't know how that's going to happen at the moment :(

AT-ATs marching. Metal suited badass captures and turns over the rogue with a heart of gold. Young protagonist starting to tap into their force capabilities trains with a Jedi master in a remote location, but has to grapple with embracing the dark or the light side (45 seconds in she is literally fighting the divide between dark and light).

Blade runner. Not been to see a film that sounds so mercilessly incredible for as long as I can remember. I felt every gunshot, my stomach turned with every bass sting. Looks perfect. And the sexy time was something else.

I think I'll wait for the blu-ray of Blade Runner and just go and see Death of Stalin in a few weeks instead.

Films I've watched on Netflix recently -

Death Note. I see that it got a lot of criticism for the whitewashing of the characters. I don't really see that as too much of a problem as they re-set the whole thing in a different country and changed the aspects of the plot quite a bit and trimmed the whole thing down. The problem is, those changes all made the film worse.

Pandorum. Could have been a decent horror/sci-fi thing. I liked the story, but wasn't fussed on the action sequences.

Amazing Spider-Man 2. Christ.. a film that doesn't know when to end. When Electro is first taken down, there was still nearly 90 minutes left. Quantity over quality

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

I'd have to see it in the afternoon. I seem to have developed a problem with cinema-induced narcolepsy, even when it's a good film. I just get comfy and then the long blinks start.

This is why everyone should have a 100in screen and no immediate neighbours dictating surround volume.

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.

I've just Googled the cinema in the IoM. Where are you getting your experience of modern cinemas from because it's certainly not anywhere on the island.
