The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is brilliant, Tom Waits segment is the best story.

Yep. My favorite film of 2018.
The last one for me was the best. It was just captivating. The five actors were amazing as was the writing. The way it unfolds was fascinating, with each actor just knocking it out of the park, and the cinematography, the way the color changes and each time they cut to a scene outside the Stagecoach, like the driver whipping the hourses, and when they arrive at the hotel. It was just brilliantly done.

Clown is an interesting and gory take on the killer clown trope and Attack the Block is great fun as well.

I still don't know if the worst great film or the best crap film I've seen for ages. I know I loved it, but it's definitely not going to tickle everyone's fancy

I just watched the trailer. Slightly cringey to put it mildly.

I used to be a big football fan, but over recent years realised its not really that important in the great scheme of things! The bit in the trailer when the priest is asking God for help for Sunderland FC, is just sad and you'd think it was from a spoof film.

Can't decide now to give it some of my time.

Inside the worlds toughest prisons, really good series. Season 3 was added this week.

2 episodes into the innocent man, very good so far, seems another bizarre case.

I like nearly all prison documentaries. Louis Theroux has some good ones, Toughest Prisons is interesting, and Lock Up, and the Russian Siberian Maximum Security one. They all scare the sh1t out of me and make me truly appreciate not being in those places. Those places are absolute hell on earth.

Netflix Impact On Movie Theaters Is Negligible, Concludes A Study Commissioned By Movie Theaters

A study by Ernst & Young commissioned by the National Association of Theater Owners has found minimal impact on theaters by Netflix and other digital outlets streaming feature-length films.

If anything, the more a consumer streams movies, the study found, the more likely they are to pay for a ticket in a movie theater and vice versa. Across all races and ages, the average number of streaming hours per week was higher for those who visited a movie theater nine times or more than for those who went to a movie theater only once or twice. Plus, respondents who visited theaters only once or twice in the last year averaged seven hours of streaming a week versus 11 hours for those who logged nine or more trips to theaters.

And among those who didn’t visit a movie theater in the last 12 months, nearly half (49%) didn’t
stream at all.

NATO, a lobbying organization for exhibitors, is pushing back at the premise articulated by the New York Times today in an article headlined “Netflix’s Movie Blitz Takes Aim at the Heart of Hollywood.” Armed with a content budget several times that of any studio rival, Netflix is making up to 90 original films a year, counting animated and documentary titles. Some have budgets of up to $200 million, plus lavish marketing support, but major theater circuits have bridled at the idea of booking films like Roma or The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in theaters.

The study polled 2,500 respondents, 80% of whom saw at least one movie in theaters in the last 12 months. The primary data collected in the survey was movie theater attendance in the
last 12 months, streaming consumption in the last 12 months, and the demographic characteristics of respondents.

Teen-agers were the most avid age group, not surprisingly. Moviegoers between 13 and 17 went to seven movies and streamed nine hours of streaming content, highest of any demo.

Despite all of the angst, domestic box office is showing healthy signs, crossing the $11 billion mark in record time earlier this month.

Anyone watch Springsteen on Broadway?

I tried to get tickets to see it when I was in the States earlier this year but it was sold out when I was there.


It supposed to be an amazing show I kind of want to leave this as my Christmas day present to myself.

That's it - it's a one man show.

Fans (myself included) would say he's a great raconteur, and gives amazing insight into the genesis of the songs.

Casual viewers would say "....is it just him chatting and singing songs? for 2.5hrs? On his own?"

Is it just like a normal concert like him singing all his songs or is it something to do with broadway?

Am I the only one watching ‘Chill with Bob Ross?’

Anyone watching the Australian series Tidelands.

I've watched two episodes and not sure what to make of it.

Family business selling drugs is a good story but then all the scifi aspects just doesn't do it for me.

Just finished Bad Blood, definitely right up my street Italian mobsters. Could possibly have been better as a 4 part series than 6. Good cast, acting and decent plot, 8/10 for me.

Closed Circuit movie there with Eric Bana who's always great but not all that exciting 6/10

Just started Pine Gap here and has actually held my attention.

I went back to Brooklyn 99 after giving up on the first season; Andy Samberg got on my wick and the whole Boyle-fancies-Rosa gags got tired, real fast. Definitely a show that picks itself up after a dry run.
