This is a link post I watched the fuck out of this yesterday.
I heartily recommend that you do the same.

GC from June, but reckon it's worth reminding people.

This is a normal post found the end to be a little disappointing
but fantastic performances and script work

This is a normal post Difficult to discuss without spoiling it
but I will say that it felt like the right way to end it to me.

This is a normal post yeah, I couldn't think of a better out
but it still felt unsatisfying

This is a normal post I thought Vader making a joke completely ruined it. He's evil, no sense of humour.

This is a normal post Were you hoping for an extravagent, star-studded musical number to finish it?
Mind, I've yet to watch, as went out to see it saturday night & Dulwich, Peckham & Clapham had all sold out, as we discovered :/

This is a normal post We had to scum it down the Brighton Marina World of Cine.
Everywhere else in town was sold out.

This is a normal post I was really surprised....
but I guess people are avoiding the pubs in january & there's not many decent films out.

This is a normal post Darkest Hour and The Post look vaguely interesting
Will probably have to catch them on telly though as I can't persuade my better half that she wants to see either.

This is a normal post I thought The Post was guaranteed to be great with Spielberg, Hanks and Streep.
It was extremely disappointing. Dull and unengaging. People walked out of the screening I was at.

This is a normal post That was what I feared
The last Spielberg film I watched was Bridge of Spies, which felt strangely flat. As if there was the makings of a good story hidden somewhere in the script, but one that the director didn't quite know how to tell. His attempting to make something that will naturally invite comparison to Spotlight was an interesting move.

I have a bit of a problem with Tom Hanks too. The last film of his that I saw where he wasn't playing "Tom Hanks starring as ..." was probably Apollo 13.


That said, I could happily spend two hours watching Streep reading from the RS Catalogue, so will probably try to catch it at some point.

This is a normal post I don't lthink the Spotlight comparison works for several reasons. Who's making that comparison?

That’s only having seen the trailer though.

This is a normal post If this were the ending of a series people would be burning their Netflix
or even posting angry tweets.

But it annoys me that she Supermanned her way back onto the ship. And we're weaponising hyperspace now are we?

This is a normal post Went to see it last week...
A good film, but I don't think it's one that I'll return to again. It felt a bit like a not-so-great Coen brothers film (lead actor not withstanding).

This is a normal post Regardless of the film,
It's one of the best crafted trailers I've seen since Magnolia.

The whole thing was ridiculous, and a bit boring.

Otherwise how did she end up opposite Willoughby in the station?

This is a normal post Maybe you're right
In my head, he just gave her a dressing down on her stoop. I found it hard to care much about her after that. The coughing scene is beautifully done though.

This is a normal post She wasn't arrested.
I think it was because the dentist didn't want to press charges, because he was the one who started it by trying to remove a tooth unnecessarily... using a drill... and no anaesthetic.

The ending was OK, but a bit unsatisfying.

My favourite part was actually Sam Rockwell. He had a lot more to do than I expected from the trailer. Speaking of the trailer, don't go into this expecting the same level of comedy as The Guard. It has some very good moments but it's altogether a more serious film than The Guard.

This is a normal post Why The Guard? (great film btw)
are you mixing up your McDonaghs?

This is a normal post Looks that way.
I actually thought The Guard and In Bruges were the same bloke.

This is a normal post Both exceptional writer/directors with Irish roots
McDonagh did the exceptional Calgary after The Guard, while McDonagh did Seven Psycopaths after In Bruges.

Hope that helps ;)

This is a normal post I can see the confusion
McDonagh is McDonagh’s older brother.

This is a normal post there's talk of a third film
In 2014 McDonagh said his follow-up to Calvary would be The Lame Shall Enter First, his third feature with Brendan Gleeson. The film follows a paraplegic ex-policeman in London who has developed a hatred for able-bodied people and who gets caught up in a new investigation after one of his friends is murdered. He has stated that it will be the "final one in the trilogy" and will be "an amalgamation of The Guard and Calvary"
